As someone who paid $38 for his copy of "Beat Crazy" on eBay, I hear that.

Jim, you're a Sonar user, right? If so, you probably already have a guitar amp modeling plug-in called Revalver. Granted, that version is stripped down and essentially useless, but the full version is only around $60. It can't touch Guitar Rig or Amplitube, but of course, those are much more pricey,...

Touche.

This fight will sound great in "Dobly"...

Heh... yeah, "Too Drunk To Fuck" seemed rather appropriate at the time.

So, you thinking of going?

I was one of said wankers.

"Pictures of Natalie Portmaaaaaaaan" is gonna be going through my head for about the next year.

I wanna live again...

(Albatross's comment on it: "How very Flock of Seagulls", heh) Seriously, that thing looks like you lifted it right off of Wang Chung's tour truck. Better yet, leave the pedal as it is, and put a second trigger on a velcro strap you can wear around your shin to play lightning fast double ...

I'd love to hear you guys do a Bee Gees cover.

My 18th Birthday:

US: Walk Like An Egyptian - Bangles
UK: Reet Petite - Jackie Wilson

US charts go back to 1955, UK to 1952.

For me, it's:

US: Heard It Through The Grapevine - Marvin Gaye
UK: Lily The Pink - Scaffold

The first time I saw Zappa, he played that cover of "Stairway to Heaven" (I think it's on the B'way the Hard Way disc) as an encore. Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life . Wonderful disc. Also has send-ups of Ravel's Bolero, Sunshine Of Your Love, and Purple Haze. The Jimmy Swaggart ver...

So I guess we're not doing the CCR/REM fight? Oh well. Would have been fun to do "Who'll Stop the So. Central Rain." But hey, this'll work too. One quick question: I'd like to get involved in this, but as of yet, I don't have a solo entry. My usual partner in crime, RG, will probably redo ...

Curtain's going up... play ball.

OK, since this is the first fight I've been involved in a quite a while, it seemed like a good time for my first stab at a review post. All the usual self-deprecating disclaimers apply. Battle Cry Creek I have no problem with the freeze-dried Casio-ness (Casiosity?), and it's not as bad as you seem ...

A MIDI-capable beer bottle organ??? You've gotta be SHITTING me!

That's the coolest thing ever.

No problem, dude. Really wish I'd gotten your performance of Husky Youth.

Because, well, we do need love too.

I reckon it has something to do with producer/mixing guru Bob Clearmountain?

This establishment: <A href="http://www.addmarketing.com/">[img]http://home.comcast.net/~mrebo/images/add.jpg[/img]</A> is located right behind the studio where the recent Songfight LA event was held. Really wish I'd gotten a shot of it. http://home.comcast.net/~mrebo/images/Albatross_badg...

Good Lord... I dropped about 45 pounds recently, but that camera put them all back on.

It sounds pretty damn awesome (ask anyone at the recent show in LA). Max and Dave were tearing it up in the practice room and it sounded really nice. Aww, flattery'll get you everywhere. Alas, I'm in the same boat as the Socially Relevant Carbonated Beverage. If finances allowed, I'd have snatched ...

I always liked the idea of doing a coverfight that's both artist- and genre-specific, like the Devo Country fight. Maybe something like: ClashicalFight - do a sendup of a classical piece, or a Clash cover. PearlJazzFight - do a jazz standard, or a Pearl Jam cover. SkappaFight - a ska cover, or somet...

Max a.k.a. Albatross grabbed some video on his digital camera, one from each set I think (well, except ours, heh), and I'll be linking those once I get the AVIs compressed down into MPEGs. Each is only 3 minutes long (camera limitations), so there's some groovus-interruptus. Just warning y'all. I g...
