When I was in high school, I found a cassette of Dirty in the used bin at my local record shop for a buck or two. I'd never really heard their stuff, but the DJs on the late-night shows on public radio station WMNF loved them, so I picked it up on a whim. Therefore, that record will always hold a sp...

It's a bit of a clichéd choice, but I agree with Niv on this one. London Calling is possibly the best opening track in the history of rock music. The lift of the bassline, the slow crescendo of the staccato lead...it's like the Clash took my entire disaffected youth and distilled it into sixteen mea...

I noticed that you have me both as Naked Philosophy and as InevitableGuy on the main list. I'd like to be billed as Naked Philosophy on the posters, etc.

I've been quite the lurker around these parts lately - as I alluded to in the Gift of Music thread, life turned into somewhat of a shitstorm back in December, which kept me away from doing a lot of things that I would have liked (like, you know, enter fights). In the meantime, two fantastic things h...

And...here it is. Hope it was worth the wait!

I will also e-mail a copy to Niv for the official page.

I think Song Fight just found a new tag line.


P.S. I'm making good progress on my cover now...I should have something in by the end of the week.

First off: Glennny - wow, thank you so much. This is amazing and perfect. Given the subject material of the song, sharing vocal duties with Annabella was a brilliant choice. Secondly: I am working on my cover for John Lampson - I have no intention of stiffing you, good sir. I even have a good excuse...

I usually hit Portland 2 or 3 times a year. I'd love another reason to go!

Allow me to be the first to complain about the arbitrary deadline. My workstation got buried over the holidays, and I just managed to dig it out this afternoon. Please consult the official Song Fight Excuse List and pick your favorite excuse for why I can't finish in the next few days. In other word...

Wow. I just got mine. I've never done a cover, and I've never, ever in my life, done mainstream. This should be exceedingly interesting. I find that to be the best part of GOM. I usually pick the song that is the least like my own music, tear it down to its root structure, and rebuild it in my own ...

Shoot...I forgot to post my picks. Here they are:

We Were Promised Jetpacks - Quiet Little Voices
Chimera - Catch Me
And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead - Mistakes and Regrets
Rogue Wave -We Will Make a Song Destroy

The Thermals! Excellent choice.

I'm in as well. I need to think about my choices for a bit...

I'm looking through some of the photos. I'm bummed I couldn't make it this year...it looks like everyone had a great time!

Just in under the wire...

I wrote some lyrics, but haven't had a chance to do anything with them. I dropped them into the Lyric Marte in case anyone wants them and doesn't have any plans in the next 20 hours or so...

SUITCASE. I wrote lyrics for a 57-second long punk ditty, but won't have the time to do anything with them: Carry it on the subway Take it on the train On a crowded city bus At 5:16 they'll all feel your pain Plans checked with plans And watches calibrated Now we'll say goodbye To the world you alwa...

...and then you'll be bitter.

I couldn't let a good idea go to waste, so I'm in with a very stripped down track. I wish I had more time to work on it, but at least something's in...

For the first time in a long while, I wrote a song for the mighty Song Fight! Unfortunately, I don't think I'll have time to work on a proper recording. Is there anyone out there that wants to collaborate? I could probably scrape together a decent G&G version of it tonight that someone could bui...

I know I've been a bit quiet around these parts, but life has been hectic. For those of you that don't know, I've been spending the last year and a half or so separating my life from my ex-wife's. As of a few hours ago, we are finally, officially divorced. It feels good to be moving on. Maybe I can ...

I just sent it in. Just in case Niv can't get to it right away, I also stuck a copy here.

That was a lot of fun to work on.

I must offer sincere apologies to Senor del Stinko for my tardiness. Your gift is coming this weekend!
