It’s been a few years since I’ve really gotten into a SongFight. Quite a few things have changed: one song(instead of three); multiple votes(instead of one); shitloads of entries. I’m going to start my reviews with the artists I recognize from 3 years ago in no particular order. Max The Cat – Wow, r...

Everyone wrote:Praise to that no-talent ass clown Toby Keith

Yeah, that's it, gang up on me now.
Face it, Dark Liberty is a better singer than that guy. And his songs are all so lame. Especially when he gets all overly patriotic. Toby Keith + patriotic = idiotic.

anything involving rob thomas Yeah, and when the hell did he become the hot new latin superstar. WTF. The Matchbox 20 stuff was bland, sterile sounding crap, but only mildly annoying. Ever since that tool hooked up with Santana he thinks he's some kind of latin lover. Led Zepplin I'm feeling the ha...

Thanks to the fightmasters for getting the new fights and titles up so amazingly fast this week!

I think I've got an idea for I'm Going Away For Awhile, and I've got plenty of time now to put it together. Fight-on!

Rattle Rik Gerblick I'm alone tonight But I'm not by my self What have I become Who put me in this hell (Pre Chorus) They stripped my body from me Now my soul roams free And now I'll make them pay (Chorus) Standing right behind you You can't see me But you know I'm there And I'll rattle through you...

Congrats THC! This was a great fight, pretty even distribution of votes for the most part. Lots of great songs. Excellent showing from new artitsts as well.

Excellent tip, thanks. Sounds like extreme selective compression. I'll have to try this out.

Please bring back Pure Bigoted Fashion as well.

Thanks for all the great reviews. Sorry if my post before sounded pissy, just trying to get a rise out of some you. :) It was two days without a single post to this thread so I figured I'd stir things up a bit. Then the boards went down. Serves me right. ...watch the poof in the microphone. Nice aco...

WTF! This is way too big a fight to have this few reviews. Thanks to all those who reviewed this week especially those new here and those not in this fight, your time and comments are appreciated. To the rest, get it in gear.

I'm Rik Gerblick, and I sometimes post under the name Rik Gerblick. By day I'm a network administrator, by night a hack musician. Right out of high school I had a mean-on for starting a band and being rich and famous. I recorded an album of the most pathetic drivel ever written and thought I was pre...

And a cool $1700 a week, 10 people could go in on that and come out better than a hotel room for a week. And check out the on-site amenities: computer with DSL connection, outdoor hot tub, binoculars, and a lobster pot. Who could ask for anything more.

Oh yeah, will there be an afternoon acoustic show like this year? Or is beach by day, SongFight! by night?

Spokane was cool, because I have a friend that lives near there = free place to crash. Santa Cruz is cool because I grew up in San Jose/Cupertino, and we used to hit the beaches in Santa Cruz nearly every weekend during the summer = nostalgia :) It's a long trip either way, but I'm going to do my be...

This is Rik? Glad to hear I finally wrote something that didn't make you cringe. :) This week's entry is shaping up to be pretty different for me as well. Pretty heavy for me really. I'm sure by the end I'll over produce it and ruin it, poodle it as j$ might say. By Wednesday I may have invented a ...

zzzzzzzzzing!

I'll assume you're just a jackass or an idiot or both. Wow, that's a little harsh don't you think. You might try kicking back with some Arizona ice tea, and just taking the review for what it's worth. It's his opinion, he hears something familiar. It's bound to happen once in awhile. For the record...

This week, because of the large number of entries, I decided to try Jim of Seattle's approach and record reviews while I drive. Not so much for everyone else's benefit as for my own. The idea was to kind of make notes that I could elaborate on in my written reviews later. I did them JoS style, like ...

Not 100%, but pretty sure I'll be able to Rattle something up for this week's fight.

Here are my recorded reviews. Thanks for the review, as always I like the recorded reviews. It kind of adds a personal touch that you don't get from simply reading a review. Very cool indeed. Unfortunately, this week mine (Yardboy) is the one that cuts out half way through. No big deal, I'm sure th...

For anyone who enjoyed the Yardboy song, there are two more available at somesongs.com The idea was to spend the weekend of SongFight live writing and recording as many songs as possible using titles from old fights. Pretty sad, I could only come up with one each day. Both acoustic two part songs re...

Moog It Up... Is this in tribute to Bob Moog who died on Sunday?
