So badass. Those punk lead vocals are filthy rotten. Last song I heard on my first listen of the fight, and then I listened a few more times for good measure. The Bob and the Bangles tune also left a strong first impression on me, great lyrics and style.Smalltown Mike wrote:Joblito Y El Banditos: Yes! What a great groove. Love it.
Hey thanks! I feel like such a high school freshman again. Chumpy liked my lyrics and he (almost!) knows my nameChumpy wrote:The Bob and the Bangles tune also left a strong first impression on me, great lyrics and style.Smalltown Mike wrote:Joblito Y El Banditos: Yes! What a great groove. Love it.
Thank you, both. I really do appreciate it. I instantly loved the title and was lucky in that from the first time I sat down with it, the ideas came and stuck. I didn't have to fool around about what sounded good or get lost in trying to re-work everything the entire time. It just came together. My only regret was not realizing exactly when it was due, leading to a rushed mix.Chumpy wrote:So badass. Those punk lead vocals are filthy rotten.

Which only emphasizes my own satisfaction in not rhyming "running" & "coming" anywhere in my tune! Thank you, for noticing my anger.Generic wrote:I listened in the random order that the Song Fight home page listed the entries. Coincidentally, that put Hoblit, Paco, and Pigfarmer all in a row. A one-two-three punch of very blunt politics. Some angry dudes in this fight!
Still working on it. It's in Phrygian... or at least supposed to be in Phrygian. I'll upload it in this thread when it's finished.glennny wrote:The Glennny track is an answer to the Nick Soma Locrian challenge.
I was expecting a Nick Soma track in the fight , probably in Lydian.
Did you not submit a song Mr. Soma?
Agree with the vocal performance and don't disagree with the timing._igfarmer Jr: I think your bridge is catchy, along with the chorus. I am not crazy about the overall performance and one thing I particulary didn't like is the cramming of the verse right up against the chorus.
Only they did it better.The following is not critical as I actually love the following song, but I have to say that your intro and reintro is not too far off of this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTN6Du3MCgI
WELL, they practiced longer on it and likely had plenty of time to not only record it, but to work every aspect of it.Pigfarmer Jr wrote:Only they did it better.The following is not critical as I actually love the following song, but I have to say that your intro and reintro is not too far off of this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTN6Du3MCgI
Ha, funny. Thank you for the listen and the 'digging'.Pigfarmer Jr wrote:What I've learned from this fight is that I have a short little span of attention.
Joblito Y El Banditos - Digging this one quite a bit. My only complaint is that you don't use the rhyme "running/coming" anywhere.
Thank you, I tried to keep the number of guitar tracks down to two. They're equally separated but not completely wide. While both are distorted, one is 'lead singer plays clangy guitar distorted' and the other is 'lead guitar drive cranked' guitar for an even blend of tough and substance. Thank you for the Clash reference, as there is a direct influence I'm wearing on my sleeve here with the gang vocal approach. Just wait until I learn a bit more Espanol!GravityJohnson wrote:
Joblito Y El Banditos - There's some cool stuff this week, this is another. That chorus is so Clash, superb. Love that ending too, great work. This could have used another layer of guitar to thicken up the overall sound, but that's being pretty picky. Another vote here for sure!
Good work one and all.
Thank you for your comments. All comments, good or bad, are always appreciated. There isn't a vocoder on the vocal, or anything that ties it to a note. It does have some processing and EQ on it though, of course. Nothing particularly out of ordinary this time though.Hoblit wrote:...Perhaps you have some sort of effect on them that keeps them tied in, vocodor or something of that nature...
Hey, good job, man. My comment isn't a criticism of the vocal performance, just that they blended in so well with the music that I suspected some sort of process to give it that sound.GravityJohnson wrote:Thank you for your comments.

Hmmm vocoder, that's an idea, might have to dig out the one on my microKorg for another play sometime....
