Right town, wrong address, by Slither. “Listen to me, kid. You know we’ve got a lot of life to live But I don’t know that you know what you’re doing yet,” she said. “You’ve got to … figure it out.

This is the most I’ve ever heard people count into their songs. Mostly these are first-time listens over coffee on Saturday morning, though I listened to Cow Exchange, Futureboy and Darkanon a couple times. I’m handing out votes like they're candy at Halloween. Third Cat Lovely guitar. Might be nice...

Here's some slither: I used to stumble like a drunk alone and lonely with the head of a skunk a wasted wasteland of a man, I didn’t understand, I kept my head in the sand I stroll through these years with a glow but I don’t know how I got here, no I’ve lived my life longer with you than without you,...

Just wanted to say that phlebia track is really well done. Definitely achieved what (I assume) it set out to achieve. Great ominous plodding vibe.

Be careful. With vibraslap comes great responsibility. I used a vibraslap in Corvette just FOUR TIMES and got ... vibraslapped for it. And then the vibraslap. Makes me wonder how often in a song it can be used effectively. I think maybe the spacing is more important than the sheer number of times it...

geez, who taught you how to mix?

Thanks — it was Song Fight. Song Fight taught me how to mix.

That was really quite fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

Here's an idea, kids (that I'm not going to use).

Write a song to yourself with the title I Used to Know You Better.

I know, right?

My co-worker said Liquid Starshine was obviously another name for unicorn diarrhea.

Thought y'all should know.

For some reason Emma's YKIWYSI (submitted on the weekend) didn't make it up in the fight. I've resubmitted it to the fightmaster, so hopefully it makes it up.

I told a co-worker I would sing whatever lyrics she wrote for this title. She delivered. I delivered. You'll know it when you see it, by Emma You have to see it to believe it He’s throwing bananas at the cockpit He’s aggressive But he’s got wit Not snakes on a plane, just a monkey with a brain You’l...

So listening again, yea, I think it needs another part to be a "proper pop song." It could come right at the end of this structure and go ... somewhere ... and then back to the chorus. It's pretty!

So – Young Buck is a really annoying title. Maybe that’s just me thinking that, but hearing it over and over in these songs is grating. (And yea, I wrote a song and sang it too.) Sorry, just a couple reviews of songs I had thoughts about. Pigfarmer – I far prefer the acoustic intro part then when th...

That Ken's Super Band track has a really lovely sound. Great vocals, love the drum sound. Very listenable, great work. I hope there are plans to write a bridge or some additional part, but great.

Edit: oops, I think you did write a bridge and I missed it. Reviewed too quick.

The Way It Isn't OG Lawn Darts [I do have a lot of genre bias about these reggae songs / Smalltown Mike gets some crap for kind of singing not very interesting melodies / I tried to figure out why don’t I like this more? / I think the problem is that we’ve heard it.

Better late than never right? This time around jb joins us, so it's a bit talkier than normal. So, first off — love your work. This podcast is such a great addition to Songfight and you do a great job. So thanks. I have to correct one error in the Fussy Britches review, though. I agree the chorus o...

That podcast does make me laugh. It's a great addition to song fight. Thanks for doing it. For what it's worth, I know the shrts song is only 40 seconds long, not 50. Two people have commented on how long the fade-out is, and honestly that was a mistake. My focus is always on getting the songs short...

Is there a tradition of musicians being flaky?

Oh hell yes.

This is a really strong fight with a lot of great tunes. Nice work, people. Midnight Yacht Club: There’s potential here with a little work on structure — instead of just the same riff repeated. Vocals might be a hair loud, too. But there’s something here. Berkeley Social Scene: Great intro. The chor...

The page makeover is awesome! Great work.

Hey thanks — that's Rob /thc, the other half of Flaming Tiger.

Congrats, add. I always loved your "systematic panic."
