I do have a floor pod in addition to my actual amp. Gotta work with Leah to get an exact list of what the venue has for us to plug into.

I can probably bring a guitar and amp if that's needed. We're driving in and have room in the back of the wife's escape. If this is of interest then I'll list the amps that are available and y'all can decide which one(s) you want.

It is of interest. What do you got?

Yeah, at the moment, I have just one electric guitar and amp. I can look into borrowing a second amp, and this might be the occasion to buy an upgrade guitar. The drum kit's a bit ramshackle, but Ken made it work beautifully last time. I'll also be buying an 88-key keyboard to replace the ESQ-1 that...

3-listen reviews! Balls to Monte 1. This really rocks. On my airpods, the treble is a bit too intense. 2. It turns out that "immovable object" is not that easy to fit naturally into lyrics, and you do it here. I like the bounce. 3. I like that little fade thing as the solo guitar comes in....

Attendance is looking really good, so we don't have the luxury of time, but Leah and I are thinking 20-minute sets with 5-minute gaps.

I also had a thought that since we have the venue all day, we could have a short lunch time acoustic show on Saturday.

For years now in SpinTunes, Nur Ein & Song Fight, if I do reviews I skip reviewing people who don't post lyrics.

Weird, but you're not the first to invent extra rules for Song Fight.

nounMUSIC

Next optional challenge

*googles 'descants'*

May or may not get to reviews, but wanted to be sure to say: nice song, Hobs.

I think it was a GIF version of this one -- which is only remotely interesting because I took it on my way to the first Song Fight Live.

Did not expect that. Thanks y'all.

3-listen reviews! Pig Farmer Jr. - 1. Prosody is weird on "listening". Kudos on not wanting to sound like a fucking jerk. It's hard! Is there subtle auto-tune on the vocals? 2. I like the drum fills. 3. There are a lot of little spots where the vocal isn't quite on, timing-wise. Nice bass ...

Oh also I do appreciate that the Yaks song is addressed to me specifically.

Argh. I tried to write reviews, but didn't have a lot more to say than "cool! good job" or "I can see how someone else would like this more than I do". Then I thought I'd do shoutouts, but that started to feel way too random. I do want y'all to know that I listened a lot. I think...

I have time but no ideas. I could crank something out if anyone has any extra material lying around that I could finish/repurpose.

Leah had a good idea. Can we all write 1000 songs about Glenn Case?

So, the optional challenge shouldn't be advertised lest you want a thousand Glenn Case and/or Glenn related projects submitted for this one fight.

I fucking dare him

Thanks for reviews. Here are some comments from me. They're all positive, sorry. Berkeley Social Scene : Strong chorus. I like that extra repetition of the chords after the vocals are done. Nice harmonies too. Chthonic Youth : I like hot drums. I dig the whole vibe of the arrangement, especially tha...

Inexcusable: neglecting the amazing theme song that I submitted for bumper work. So the words were wrong, does it matter? No. No it does not. How many JB versions do we need? Sheesh! I very much meant to use it. But then I was in a rush and it wasn't already in video form :( Hopefully someone recti...

Going live in a bit again with the faster machine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPkKx7ctYLc

Gonna go live tonight with the warm-up show at around 7 MT

Also: gonna do a dry run / warm up stream tonight on the Song Fight channel. I'll play some of last year's videos and chat with folks to get comfortable with the setup. Stay tuned.
