Re: Have you tried (Shutdown prefight)
I foresee lots of angsty rock songs and sadfuck acoustic songs. I'm writing the latter. Having to specifically avoid the mental link to Slaid Cleaves' Broke Down.

Re: Have you tried (Shutdown prefight)
My mind went straight to the back of a toilet door seven years ago. I’m pretty sure there’s no need for me to call dibs on anything.

Re: Have you tried (Shutdown prefight)
I'm tempted to also throw in some samples of toilet flushing sounds now, i have no idea what i'm going to do with this yet, i'll probably work on it tomorrow.

Re: Have you tried (Shutdown prefight)
I went in a whole different direction with my song, the windows 95 and toilet flushing sounds are up for grabs

Drums, bass, electric and acoustic guitars, piano, hammond, and ~6 layers of vocals done. Adding mandolin and dobro today.
I'm probably overdoing this.

Re: Have you tried (Shutdown prefight)
Have written and recorded a song for this, but I've decided I don't like it enough to stand by and watch it get slaughtered in reviews. Only happened twice before in my whole history of fighting (Baseball vs Opera which now I really like and "Butterfly Massacre" which i decided too late was not very good) so I may finish it up and post it somewhere. Don't know why I am writing this except I like to see my "words" on a screen, and to let you know you're all spared for at least another week.
Or if anyone wants a mediocre punk-ish completed backing track, let me know. I'll send it over.
