Mandibles got in not only with a 3.5 minute song, but also 20 minutes to spare! I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't get a confirmation. Our round zero song had a musician who was just feeling not good enough. Round one had an office worker feeling unfulfilled and nostalgic. This song is the ste...

Thanks for the reviews, LT! They’re all so thoughtful; I am amazed by your turn around time. Thank you for your kind words, too. I wish I knew what was causing the distortion on our song- there’s no peaking that I can see in the wave forms, so I worry it’s something to do with my mic or interface. ...

Mandibles - Ohh, look at Mr. Big Shot here, who can get a house all the way to half full! I don't think I heard where the challenge was met... I hear a couple of things that might have been intended as the challenge, but they're all a bit weak, in my opinion. Anyway, I'll just have to give you the ...

Update:
Here we are. It's been over 24 hours and one of the judges is still missing. (It was two last night)

Gotta figure out what to do...

Guest judge? As the only elimination and not eligible for reinstatement, I’d like to see LTs rankings.

Mandibles - I cant really praise the chanson style of Heid's song without liking this one too. Just not as much. Mainly cos the faux-almost-operatic vocal style choice. j$ Ha. Haha. Ha haha hahahahahahaahahahahaha :lol: Sorry, I always chuckle when people still say my vocals are operatic. Its no se...

Hooray!

Liner notes:

... does pooping make noise?

But seriously I am all for the adorable rabbit vids and also for any and all shadows!

Pareidolia By Mandibles The sun is high There is laughter on the wind And where am I Above the playful din In my bedroom Where the friends that surround me Are the faces that I see They come and go as they please, My friends in the trees They come to play To fill the wiling hours Then fade away And ...

Mandibles are in! Not sure if our final edit made it in under the wire, tho. When I was a kid, I used to se faces, figures, and shapes in things like tiles, rugs, and most often trees. I have a strong memory of looking out my window as a kid and seeing a fox, a face, a person in the branches of the ...

I count at least three songs about trucks. Interestingly, none of them are country.

At the risk of overhyping it, this may be one of the best mandibles songs yet. I (and the band) am super happy with it. Gradual repetition comes mainly in the form of form - post chorus riff happens once, later twice, later four times, chorus is repeated more each time, and them also in the graduall...

SEMIPRECIOUS Mandibles This is the voice inside your head... V1 You always try your hardest You play the starving artist Next show, next song, Your big break will come along But you were wrong PRE Self doubt in every crevice Your fingers feeling restless Your lyrics getting reckless You’re only semi...

Coming off of judging spintunes, I will not be volunteering as tribute, but you can expect I’ll be competing, likely with the rest of mandibles in tow

Cybronica, I know yours wasn't the most positive review of my song, but it definitely made me feel the most seen. I agonized over whether to stick with my first pass of the chorus lyric because of that "baby back" connotation. Two days in, I was still singing it to myself and none of the ...

I just realized that due to a copy and paste error, I did not submit my review of @vowlvom 's song. Here it is below! Vom Vorton: Your line unit palindrome gets the closest to a proper reverse line poem out of all the entries. Sure, the basic idea is similar, but there are some phrases that mean dif...

Hey guys! Great round of songs this week; I had a good time listening to them and PASSING JUDGEMENT ON YOUR SOU- I mean SONGS . I’ve been avoiding the forums so as not to have my rankings influenced, but feel free to ask me to clarify anything once the reviews get posted. If I have the mental wherew...

I’ve decide to to finally take the plunge and buy myself a set of monitor speakers (all the better to mix you with, my dear) Cybronica - did you buy a set of monitors? Why/why not? Did the advice in this thread influence you at all? SORRY! I thought I replied - THANK YOU GUYS for all the recommenda...

I’ve decide to to finally take the plunge and buy myself a set of monitor speakers (all the better to mix you with, my dear). I’m not really sure where to start, what works best, etc, so I was wondering: 1. What do y’all use? 2. What do you like about it? 3. What do you not like about it? 4. What pr...

Congrats, add and hostess mostess ! I didn’t manage to get reviews on all the songs written, but here are what I did manage! Disembodied Voice: Lichenthroat: the verse melody is repetitive, but the fact that I can hear it well enough to make that comment shows improvement from the last time i Heard-...
