I'm going to collaborate with an old friend and the guy that turned me onto songfight.org. we've done quite a few over the years( submitted under "Longfellow Street")
I won't be using any synthesizer this week, just live instruments. The last few titles have been really good.

I think I see where this Opera is supposed to go. You want Valkyries versus Harpy war. I love the smell of napalm and chicken wings in the morning.

As a side note, this fight makes two years straight (without missing a fight) that I've been able to submit art for the titles. (Although I've been submitting for longer.)

*hurts arm patting self on back*

For those taking notes the current run started with Old Friends that ran 17 March 2017 through 27 March 2017 and is currently at 62 straight fights.

Trying to finish a song for this today. I don't think I can get those operatic vocals in there. Maybe I'll figure out somethin'.

Working feverishly on an idea I had for the title. Mr. Jerkatorium has a hectic travel schedule this week, so this time I'm flying solo. No operatic vocals I'm afraid, I'm struggling just to make it to the finish line.

Deadline, shmeadline. The podcast did nothing but cement my firm belief that SF deadlines are nothing more than a mild suggestion at the whim of the fight master. (A very nice fight master that should not take this post as anything other than fun banter.)

Made it in, one hour late again. For those who complained about the length of my "The Dream Crusher" entry, this one clocks in at 1:43.

Operatic vocals? Did you put that in just for me? Aw, shucks! Very excited about the mandibles submission. Had some computer trouble before submission but we made it in!
