I might be able to make it over from Phoenix for an LA songfight thing... and if there happened to be bass, drums and another guitar who'd be interested in learning up a few KA songs for a pick-up set, that's be cool, too. I'm not sure how much I'd contribute to the State Shirt sound, but I'd be ava...

Hey... Not that I'm among the great artists around here or anything, but since I'm gonna want to take this thing to show and tell on Monday morning, I whipped together a little CD cover art... Front: http://www.charleswolff.com/SF/hxarof.jpg Back: http://www.charleswolff.com/SF/hxarob.jpg Charles

Hack - I really liked what you did with "Blue Signal." When I originally wrote the lyric, it was cast in first person - "As it awakens in my mind, I sense as it begins its climb..." but I switched it to third person because it was just sounding whiny with me singing it. I think y...

If there's gonna be a DanFest, I'd love to hear somebody cover "Gaucho." Such a clever song...

Jack: yes, correct, that should've said Henrietta...

C: I always thought one of the nice things about hxaro is that we DIDN'T review them... save the reviews for things with "fight" in the name. But I'm not in charge here...

Wow! I can't even begin to say how blown away I am by all this... I mean, just thinking that people all over the world have been working on recording this stuff is just amazing... I made a CD of all the songs and sat out on the back patio listening to them; there's a breeze up from Mexico tonight an...

Umm...

Speechless.

I haven't listened yet, but I am totally blown away by this...

Keep us, like, posted, man.

If this works, this could be huge!

Jack - I'm not planning to be in the Challenge, but when I get a little time to work on it, I'll see what I can come up with for ya on this... or maybe I'll get adventurous and see if I do "Attics" justice...

What the old guy thinks: ASTROLAMB: okay, this is the totally expected approach to the title. the one-note melody isn't doing much for me, and the lyric doesn't seem like it's going anywhere... CHIN STRAP: again, no surprises... I'm all in favor of mixing the vocals nice 'n' loud, but this one could...

First impressions 'n' such... CALFBORG: some interesting sounds in there, and I do like the way it keeps developing. I s'pose one could say that the bullwhip and gun sounds evoke memories of the "Rawhide" TV show and cattle drives 'n' such... DJ SPONGE AND RYGUY: this was fun... I can, lik...

Since we're now doing individual lyric threads for each fight, could the archives over on songfight.org also include a link to the lyric thread for each fight, maybe something that would come up in a separate window so you could scroll through the lyrics while listening to the songs? Charles (Art is...

Just my opinions and first-listen reactions... BRICE HENRY: ouch; I don't think I like any of the individual instrument sounds on this... the I-II-IV-V chord pattern gets very repetitive very quickly. I can _hear_ the vocals but the music is interfering with me actually listening to them. THE COW EX...

I've been driving around with "Far Edges" by Graham Moses lately... a couple tracks (10%, Word Mines, and Theme for the Homeless) can be downloaded from:

The new hxaro: Josh Woodward picks somebody who's never come out on top in a songfight, enters as them, and gives them their first win...

No, probably not...

I would enjoy hearing our Mr. Kellis do something from Dylan Hicks' "Poughkeepsie" CD, especially "Hundred Dollar Bill" or "I'm Not From Around Here." I also think that an Octothorpe cover of Lou Reed's "Sex With Your Parents" would be a hoot. Charles (Art is ...

ANDRE WAS HERE AT MIDNIGHT: Rhythmic disconnects throughout; you might think about practicing with a click track or drum machine at some point just to pull that rhythmic thing more together. Doubling (?) the vocals didn't really seem to help much; there are some spots in the song where your voice co...

FELDSPAR: I couldn't quite tell whether that low voice was properly sync'd up with the bells 'n' stuff rhythmically or not... the start of the sample was, but then the second "word" felt like it was coming in late... Now that I'm taking electronic music classes and messing around in Reason...

The "high level" categories don't seem to work in the "Jump to:" menu at the lower right of the page. For example, neither "Select a forum" nor "Songfight!" takes me to the top level menu where I can see all the forums listed. "General Music" doesn't...

The main heading for the Lyric Archive threads currently says: "Not for donations-- post those in the fight discussion forum." By "donations," do you mean the Lyric Mart thread? If so, I think that one would fit better in the "collaborations" area, although I s'pose it ...
