I was songfighting when you were sucking your mother's dick.

Sorry! Wine again!

You mean a robot didn't generate this color-coded mindmap?

Guys, I am so embarrassed.

I was wondering how long it would take you to chime in.

(That's mostly a joke, by the way.)

Fair enough. At least now we're back to matters of taste, and I will kindly allow you to have the poor variety.

I'm being opaque because I'm reluctant to get into a conversation about the meanings of words like "stop", "start", and "pause". Doesn't sound like a lot of fun. Still, I can't help but express some frustration at being judged (and ranked and sorted) by your arbitrary p...

Oh, come on. You wouldn't want it any other way.

Nope, turns out my first instinct was correct.

I looked at the challenge, and almost said "fuck it, I'm going home". I have way too much shit going on in my life to deal with this. Since then, I've warmed up to the idea a little bit. I'm glad other people are freaking out, too. I had the same reaction. NE is already claiming a higher ...

I liked a lot of the songs this week. If I had one complaint (if? one?) it would be that many of them were really long. Did the long title inspire people to write long songs? Or was it just coincidence? Or is everybody feeling warmed up now or something? Not sure why it happened with me. Didn't try...

Probably the same reason you didn't notice some of the other stuff too! Thanks for the review.

Sorry. Uncalled-for.

I was just celebrating giving up on my mix with a little wine.

I'm in, cunts.

If you swap those, I think that would qualify as "creative".

Well sure. What if you're stopping one thing but not another? It's a cool challenge, but debating how our songs fit the bill is going to be awesome.

Sounds cool. Why aren't we all doing that one?

Here's hoping Ligers was eliminated for his song and not his attitude or else this contest is for fuckwits.

Congratulations, Ross!

True. If you hate all the songs somebody liked better than yours, then you have been complimented.

Not quite what I'm saying. It's more like getting everything except the one thing the maker really wanted you to get.

There should be a short-hand for the type of criticism in which the critic just doesn't like some aspect that was -- for the song-maker -- the whole reason to do the song in the first place.

IS THAT A THREAT
