I can respect the answer but I can't let the illogical explanation stand. Your reasoning does not make sense. It's no fuss, but is it not logical to think that someone who was faced with the same situation as you (loves Halloween, has parties to attend) submitted their entry early *because* they kn...

We're going to keep the deadline because I've already received at least one submission. We've accepted slightly late submissions already, so I can't imagine we wouldn't accept something that came in modestly late. Just get it in as close to the deadline as you can. I can respect the answer but I ca...

Where the parties at?

Well, last year I was here: https://www.halloweenonchurch.ca/

This year we're just going to a couple of house parties here in Charlotte.

Hey, I'm not sure how much thought was given to this so I want to raise my hand about the holiday. Yes, Halloween is a bona fide holiday ... for me, at least. And I'm sure at least a couple of other entrants have kids ... And we all have parties to go to. I am wondering ... if there is any way we ca...

Written as I listen, on lunch in a jury deliberation room. Oh my exciting life! Subsequently, don't have the time or inclination to read everyone's explanations of what they were aiming for, challenge-wise. My attitude has always been the song should speak for itself, otherwise you have failed in t...

I liked this collection of songs a lot. Good job, everyone! Hoblit - So these are recordings of people you actually know? That’s pretty amazing. These found recordings usually take years to acquire. You’ve got them right there in your truck! Those snippets reminded me of Cassadaga by Bright Eyes, w...

Oops, didn't include a statement in my email. I think it's obvious I used the challenge. What's not obvious is that, except for the chorus, the instruments are played using the "wrong" controllers -- keys or electronic drums. Mine should be pretty obvious too. My voice in place of drums. ...

The judges are requesting clarification on interpretation of the challenge by all participants. We want to give credit where credit is due! But they're not all super-obvious. Here is what we have from the participants: Hoblit - While songs are typically written on higher pitched instruments with wi...

Don't Look Down - Hoblit Don’t look down you said Always look up instead And never look away or turn your head Keep your eye on the ball And those were some words that I would always embrace but all that ever did was get me hit in the face Now joining the rats at a dog eat dog pace your driving advi...

Hoblit - Another rocking one with profanity, which I’m all for. My son has his hat on backwards, and is throwing his arms around, which I take as a sign of strong approval. I like the ‘I like ketchup / he likes ketchup’ thing. Classic guitar sound. Maybe a tiny bit too long? Nah. Ha ! I'm glad your...

Hoblit - This may be one of the most impassioned pleas for a burger I've heard committed to song. I really enjoyed the two impossible nods, even if the second one was a bit more on the nose. Hard agree on Impossible being a delicious burger indeed. Right? It's been hard for a vegetarian burger love...

Hoblit : As a fellow vegetarian also stoked that Burger King has an Impossible Burger now, I feel you brother. My partner and I have been quoting this song back and forth to each other all week. Tons of fun. Nice work! THANK YOUY! I'm glad y'all like it! Those Impossible Whoppers have been welcome ...

Aloysius : This is really cool. I like the old street sound ... minimal but effective. The tickle guitar lick during the versus and then the key licks in the chorus. The organ solo is so welcome and bluesy. But I don't want to leave out the story. I like the rap, my cheese. I love how the verse is ...

Delicious Burger (Hoblit) All I want is delicious burgers but I don't eat no meat I don't need no bunless bullshit or use a keto cheat Just make me one thing, something I can eat Make me a burger Grill me a burger A delicious burger I like ketchup and yellow mustard too like most of you Maybe we dis...

Thanks again!

Hoblit : This started off and I thought it was kinda cool then 40 seconds in I noticed it was 4:00 long and thought FUCK! But then you saved it for me with your arrangement. It went by pretty quickly. The phrasing on "theory" is a tad distracting for me. It's an odd word, really. The stre...

I had a busy weekend (no he didn't) so I couldn't get to the review sooner (He's totally lying, don't listen to him) ! On a serious note, I listened to these all weekend and I'm glad to have let a couple of them sink in a little better because of it. Allen "Wink" Iverson : I think this son...

Just A Theory
(Hoblit)

I see them all around me
I see them all surround me
I see them all impound me

I think I I think I know
What it is that is going on
it's ongoing and it's just a theory

I know what's up I know what's up
I know what's up I know what's up
I know what's up but it's just a theory

[Mr. Brightside reference from above]

That song is great because it only one of a few songs that actually haunt me! Making it a great song that is hard to listen to sometimes.

I think I missed the deadline having thought it was the 28th, not realizing it was actually Monday the 26th. Oh well.
