Re: RACERS....Start your bitchin'. RTTB reviews.....

Toby, have you sent a PM to Lunkhead about this? As it says in the Nigerian Prince email, "If your band name is wrong, or something else awkward ensues from your submission, simply assume that it's your fault then let us know. We are generous. We will most likely correct the problem. Unless you...

Re: RACERS....Start your bitchin'. RTTB reviews.....

Paco took the lyric I left in the Lyric Marte and turned it into the "King Charles" entry this week. Lyrics, me; music and performance, Paco.

Re: (Super Creepy reviews) you won't see anywhere else. #7 is jaw-dropping...

Thanks to all who did reviews this week, I fear I'm coming up short again... Did want to mention that there is a little "backstory" to my song this week... this guy is dating a girl named Kara Danvers, but he hasn't figured out that she's actually Supergirl. So there's just this weird stuf...

In. Yes, I know the bass is mixed further to the side than one might normally choose to do.

Race to the Bottom

Race to the Bottom / King Arthur (as performed by the King Arthur Trio) A light bulb came on / over his head He ran to the lab / and as he went he said "When I emerge / at some future date I'll have a thing / and that thing will be great." And just when his money / was almost gone He flipp...

Re: We all lose in the (Race to the Bottom prefight)

PJ - well, the subsequent line that the song is about CFL bulbs is my way of saying "just kidding, this is actually a brand new song, done in the style of the Kingston Trio." I guess I gotta stop trying to be deep and clever, it's probably not helping me...

Re: We all lose in the (Race to the Bottom prefight)

So, hey, I found an old reel-to-reel tape of the King Arthur Trio doing a song called "Race to the Bottom" at the 1965 Fresno Folk Festival that I think I can recover. Oddly enough, the song is about the invention and marketing of CFL light bulbs, which didn't happen for another 30 years o...

While you're poking around, on the "archive" page for the song, Calico's name is now printing with ampersand lt semicolon stuff.

Re: Just cause I want to drink young blood you think I'm (Super Creepy prefight)

Nine minutes to deadline and I'm giving the mp3 a listen just to make sure it's all there. I worked a lot on the lyric - there's, like a backstory which listeners may or may not get, it's supposed to work either way. The music is kinda old fashioned. I expect to come in way behind Gert, if only beca...

Re: Just cause I want to drink young blood you think I'm (Super Creepy prefight)

Think I know where to go with this one, got a lyric and a whole week to make it work with some music... This will be a song with a backstory, and if you figure out what the backstory is, everything will make sense, and even if you don't, it'll be a nice, ya know, KA song. And it might even make a su...

I must admit I tend to listen and begin my reviews and forget to vote... King Arthur : well crafted, of course. I could see myself covering this I would be most honored... long ago, "Henrietta and the Hostage" covered my song for "Troublemaker" and I liked it so much it made it ...

Well, the FAQ page does ask people NOT to submit multiple songs per fight. And there was one fight where I submitted one song as King Arthur and one song as outowerk ("Gonna Be Your Man") and there have probably been other times when one person/band has submitted multiple songs as differen...
