I also wanted to thank everyone who participated for a great experience, all the participants for being patient and gracious (as well as creative), the judges and Niveous for making it a mostly smooth experience and especially BSS and Mike for a great challenge. The final songs were both worthy of a...

They are here and plugged in. So far I like them. I guess I need to record something soon to really put them through their paces.

Thanks all!

I sent something in a couple days ago. It's probably awesome* but I don't really remember, tbh.

*In fact, it isn't awesome.

Letter to My Teenage Self Pigfarmer Jr Hey, kid, you're kinda stupid It's past time you figured it out Hey, kid, your mind's been looted Misdirected and full of doubt But I promise it'll get better Some day, you will be okay Things have a way of working out Some day, you will be okay Hey, kid, you'...

Thanks Pigfarmer

Thanks for the songs. And thanks to all the contestants. It's not easy writing, recording and producing a song every week and then having a bunch of people rank you according to different criteria that often seems ambiguous or, at least, undefined.

Thank you, all. I just purchased a set of Yamaha HS5 (white, which I didn't want) by finding open box specials at two different retailers. Gonna try 'em out.

It feels wrong to nitpick relatively minor things but when you have a group of songs that all have a lot going for them you tend to find the little things to help differentiate them. Taken as a whole, this wasn’t the best round of the challenge but it was pretty darn good. Berkeley Social Scene - I ...

My current system is going to shit. (Noises, buzzing, pops etc.,) Anyone have recommendations for a monitor system on the cheap? Looking to spend 4-500 bucks. If you have more expensive recommendations please feel free as I might be looking used as well (plus it's good to weigh options and see what'...

Oh, the Silver City birthday celebration day
Silver sequins flashing, they goin' my way
Maybe if I talk to her, then she'll wanna stay
Help me to enjoy the Silver City birthday celebration day

Lyrics: viewtopic.php?t=12897

Once again I start off by reading the lyric and getting an impression. This is not completely fair to the song since what is written on the page seldom reveals how well it works with music. Take what I say about them with a grain of salt as I don’t fully evaluate them until after I hear the song. Be...

I will share the exact details of what makes “Dark Cove” significant in terms of honoring Niveous after the entries for the round have been received so we do not unintentionally influence anything with respect to artistic interpretation of the title and challenge. Exactly. So you want us to interpr...

glad you’re ok. I'm glad ]you are at least okay. Thank you, both. Songfight has, indeed, been a nice diversion. Life is pretty damn good all things considered. Obviously, it could've been better without the tornado. In other news, I hooked up a 460 three phase generator (at around 200 amps) to an i...

It's highly unlikely I'll have reviews this round and I apologize for that. But I wanted to say, this round was extremely tight in quality. Thank you for the excellent round of songs.

The wife and I are still planning to attend.

The wife and I are no longer planning to attend. We've already made our plans (and paid for travel and lodging) so now we intend to attend.

Sorry for the late reviews. (And don’t expect any from me next week due to prior commitments but I will try.) These notes are cobbled together and edited down from scraps of paper in the studio, in the truck and at work. A word on the challenge. I think a response is an answer rather than repetition...

I don't see a Round 4 post on the Lyric Archive....or am I missing it?
Looking forward to hearing everybody's this week!

The first person to post the lyric usually starts the thread. Just use a similar heading as the others.

Neither Brian Wilson nor Sly Stone were big in my listening habits but they were both great artists. Kinda makes you think.

Jill Sobule has died. In a house fire. I talked to her on the phone 8 days ago. I am having a difficult time processing this. I was only a little more than vaguely aware of Jill Sobule but everything I heard I liked and she was awesome in the couple of interviews I heard on the radio back in the da...

I see your freckles, your hair is a mess. But you're smiling now. Close-up on your eyes. In black and white. I even see your crow feet wrinkles. Such a beautiful sight. What are you thinking about. When there's no one around. What are you dreaming of. Deep inside your heart. Supersaturated girl. Ly...

Those of you who see me on facebook might be aware of some recent happenings but I realized just now that I hadn't really shared and thought it might be good for me to do so. First off, I'm very much okay and feeling very blessed. I always wondered at those tv interviews where the guy who just had h...
