I will not finish this. Haven't even started on lyrics. Posting what I got so far to prevent myself from being tempted to use any of it in a later fight.

Looks like I forgot to come back here and admit publicly that "Custom Casiotone Creations" was me.

Back in the early 90s Zoom DJ'ed the wedding reception for a friend, and the first song he played was Don Dixon's "Praying Mantis". He meant well, it was all done in good fun, but it was still (arguably) a little tacky. On the other hand, it was memorable (I guess it's the only thing I remember abo...

This is what I had been working on for "Bottle Neck", but then I decided to go a different direction so this becomes a standalone track.

(No, it is not named after Dee Dee Ramone. My daughter's name starts with D so I call her that)

as performed by FLVXXVM FLORVM no one gives a shit about you they don't give a fuck what you say and do work all day in the hot hot sun what thanks do you get when its done? nothing! sometimes you just got to say "fuck it", you ain't nothing but a drop in the bucket cannon fodder for the war machine...

Here, Atticus wrote: I like distortion everywhere when it's done right, and I like the sound of this song.

This song features liberal use of the Proco RAT(tm) distortion pedal, in accordance with the song title.

What did you use for bass guitar?

There's no bass, just one of the 5 guitars playing everything in unison has an octave shifter applied to it.

My entry is in late, but I'm crossing my fingers they post it anyway. It's very, very Flvxxvm Florvm.

I've definitely got something brewing for this one. Southern blues-rock glam-rock.

by Flvxxvm Florvm Oooh girl, you're looking mighty fine, oooh girl, you're dancing on the line, if you don't change your ways I believe you're gonna die.. oh yeah Hot mess, you're such a hot mess you're like a crashing plane Hot mess, you're such a hot mess but I can't look away You never do the thi...

My entry is clearly not actually recorded live but I tried to remain faithful to the spirit of the thing by writing and recording it all very quickly while my ladyfriend watched. Also, I was drunk.

I am a terrible stiffer this year. I promise I will still deliver.

Confession: my live recording is fake. I was thinking of getting out to an open mic, but I was too lazy, I just set up a "live in the studio" situation with vocals and guitar, and then slapped some reverb on it. The lyrics were written in about 5 minutes.

My song was written very hurriedly last night, and it shows. I basically got stoned and wrote a song by looking at objects around the room (such as the programming books "Lex and Yacc" and "Sed and Awk" from O'Reilly and Associates) while I played G, D, C, D.

Birds and words and number games I thought I'd love you just the same now I know, it's really not like that Lex and yacc and sed and awk I thought I watched you like a hawk now I know, it's never enough You're one of my angels now See you dancing on a cloud whenever I lay my weary head down You're o...

Rancid, "The 11th Hour"



Gordon Lightfoot, "Don Quixote"



Daft Punk, "Digital Love"



And finally, the one I really want to hear:

Genesis, "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight"

by FLVXXVM FLORVM Once you said you was gonna be my woman. Once you said you'd be my blushin' bride. Oh, you said you was gonna be my rider. Girl, you only took me for a ride. I wish you would have told me. There ain't no taking back my love. Once I saw the world in vibrant colors, Everything is dul...

I threw down some music last night but decided not to use it and take a different direction. Figured I'd spam up the prefight thread with it.

I'm still in but my song isn't going to be anything like this.

Nick Soma: damn, its like this 80's rock thing when suddenly the whole brass section from "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" joins in for the solo. I think you've only joined the site while I was gone... I'm putting you on my list of ones to watch around here. Paco: Damn that rhthym guitar is groovy an...

Berkely Social Scene: great drums however you recorded them, love the vibe that the keyboards lends this. not sure how I feel about the distorted power chords that come in around 0:51, it's a bit harsh for this mellow song, but OTOH its kinda buried so it doesn't matter much... the guitar solo at 2:...

In.

My song is going to be about drinking at various establishments, one of which is "sophisticated cocktails at the Phyllis Wheatley Club".
