Re: 9/17/15 Lunkhead
Oh wow, what??? This is kinda funny to see. I don't personally think my output has the breadth or depth to deserve being a QotD but thanks. At this point I still think of myself more as a musician than a songwriter, and I don't really put myself in the same category as my favorite luminaries of Song Fight. I think there are a lot of folks whose music I have loved over the years that I would put ahead of myself for QotD: add, Frank, 15-16 Puzzle, Glenn Case, Ken, State Shirt, Future Boy, Carol Cleveland Sings, Jonathan Mann, Boltoph, C Hack, c.layne, Minty Handy, Starfinger, etc. etc. etc. Too many to list them all. The archive is really a treasure trove.
That being said, at the moment, the song that I've made that I'm happiest with is my "Deep Sub-Reddit" entry. Overall I think "Hold My Calls" is pretty solid too though. But they're both humorous songs, which to my own tastes are on a lower tier than serious songs, frankly.

Re: 9/17/15 Lunkhead
The top of my list is a classic, Lunkhead's tribute to hipster bingo: Dirty Chucks.
His contributions to Berkeley Social Scene are many, but my favorite may be: Drunk Season. (Watching the Riot is also awesome, but maybe a little too new for me to pick it as a favorite yet.)
My favorite song that shows how well Lunkhead both whistles and makes the devil voice: Loyalty Day's Chainsaw!
And man, that guy can shred: Otalgia.
Oh, and we all love his latest Paco del Stinko cover!

Re: 9/17/15 Lunkhead
Before I became friends with Lunkhead I was a big fan of his Control Yourself.
Of his projects:
Solo: Control Yourself
Tiny Robots: Bullets and Lovers
Merisan: Down to Under
BSS : That's the Joke
Of his covers, the Talking Heads : this must be the Place
Here's the The that's the Joke video-

Re: 9/17/15 Lunkhead
You may see yourself as more of a musician than a songwriter but that doesn't diminish your contributions. You have made some great songs here. Songfight is very collaborative in nature and you have been a great example of that. Why shouldn't that be celebrated?Lunkhead wrote:Oh wow, what??? This is kinda funny to see.

Re: 9/17/15 Lunkhead
Lunkhead's Deep Sub-Reddit is my favorite song of his of the handful I've heard. That fight coincidentally is my first and favorite fight.

Re: 9/17/15 Lunkhead
For the sake of manageability for this post I'm just going to comment on Lunkhead Lunkhead:
I really like The Joke and Deep Sub-Reddit, but Control Yourself has to be my favorite.

Still counts. Lunkhead does a spectacular job on that song.jb wrote:I know it's BSS but "Thinking About the Old Days" is just fantastic.

Re: 9/17/15 Lunkhead
I get a lot of compliments on Thinkin 'Bout the old days, and I had very little to do with the writing, I do think of it as a Lunkhead song in the BSS catalog.

Re: 9/17/15 Lunkhead
"The Rumor Lives Strong" by BSS sticks with me, for whatever reason. Also his solo "Deep Sub-Reddit". I think I may not know half the bands Lunkhead is in, so this isn't the most informed opinion.

Violet. The live one from Boston 2005 is particularly great.
