Re: Original Flava Coverfight - COVID-19 Special Edition

Thank you Jerkatoria! I am so flattered and delighted that you chose to do two songs and I LOVE your versions. Thanks Vom, I'm stoked you enjoyed our covers! I absolutely love "Your Discarded Cigarette" and have been listening to it a lot since finishing it. When I saw that we had drawn y...

Re: Original Flava Coverfight - COVID-19 Special Edition

Omg Third Cat, I really loved your version of Ocean of Blood! You turned it from this sorta twisted dark-folk tune into a lovely atmospheric and slightly trippy Third Cat song. I especially love the end of the bridge (my favorite part of the original too) which gives me chills, it's so good! Heh, ho...

Re: Original Flava Coverfight - COVID-19 Special Edition

The Jerks are in!

Both Ryan and I pitched different songs from our SECRET PARTNER's catalog, and we couldn't decide which one to do, and since they're both sorta short, so we did both of them. Congrats, it's a Jerkatorium twofer! I had so much fun, and I love both of these songs.

Re: Cooking

Ye olde American Goulash! This is not the healthiest food ever, but it definitely is comforting. I used Chef John's recipe, which is a lot fancier than what I grew up with, but still very good.

Re: Not crooked anymore (Bent Straight prefight)

Is this different from the Zip mirror ? Yeah. That's a handy zip file that has all the files in it, but the id3 tags have whatever random junk in them as set by the submitter. So, for example, if you drop this into any of the Apple music players it's going to make a mess. It will treat them as indi...

If you're like me, and the "stream all" option on the website has never reliably worked for you, you may be interested in downloading this zip file that has all the mp3s for this fight. I've painstakingly edited all the id3 information in these files so if you just drop all these files int...

Jerkatorium : Whoa, this is uncharacteristically quiet for y'all. Maybe it's going to bust into a modern loud mastered sound at some point, and this more dynamic sound is to fit the retro topic. I like the drum stick clicking part. Real fun song though. LOL at rhyming "embarrasing" with &...

Re: Give us some (Love In The Time Of Reviews)

I have no problem with the two jerks, whose comments were reliably thoughtful. But if I were to review Alice and Brian the way they reviewed some of the entries, I would say that as people, they're not really my thing. I'm not the audience for it, I guess. Their style rubbed me the wrong way. Not m...

We just barely got ours in before 10:00am PDT, like the old days when we were pretty sure Lunkhead was gonna toss our song in the bit bucket if we were even a minute late.

I'm also into Gift of Music and not interested in Circle of Titles. There is also Original Flava, which is SongFighters covering SongFighters, which I think is even more fun than GoM.

Ozone certainly works in Logic— just not Caravan Ray’s ancient version. I haven’t tried it in GB, not sure what’s up there but maybe I’ll try it just to see. My mistake I meant to say "GarageBand" instead of Logic. I just tried using Ozone 8 with GarageBand. I loaded it up on the Stereo O...
