might have to do my first songfight of 2021 since it'd give me an excuse to break out my melodica

Edit: Yes. Googling "plastic keyboard thingie with a blow tube" brings up pictures of a melodica...

Just ordered a melodica. I bet it'll sit next to this unused kalimba I ordered for one of these challenges.

I got this thing at the Salvation Army during covidwinter. It was in the window for $15 and I had an N-95. Melodihorn is the brand. The blow tube was all full of holes and probably old spit, so I hooked up a beer hose. But in the end I just blew straight into it all cross-eyed.

I've been meaning to get a melodica. But I didn't. I watched a video on YouTube by Adam Neely about how hard it was to make Locrian sound good so I decided to try my hand at it. I don't know if I necessarily made it work, but it lends itself well to a fun early goth/death rock vibe so I hit the downstrokes hard and added a bunch of reverb and chorus to some dissonant guitar lines. And threw in a 5/8 section cause why not.

I wrote a song for this, but I've not had a chance to do any recording. I have a new guitar amp that I was intending to use as well as a brand new, unopened melodica. Hopefully time frees up in the next couple of days.

I am so happy to announce a collaboration with Matt from Night Sky. It has a Motown beat, Melodica and some marvelous sax. :D

Big News! In a fit of desperate boredom, Hostess Mostess confided to their friends that their songwriting and recording process was becoming a repetitive and increasingly unrewarding slog. And lo, those friends (as good friends do), pooled their talents and skills brought a new level of music joy!

Allow us to introduce a new SongFight! presence: "Banda de Luchadores Melodiosos" has a Full Moon on Friday entry that delivers a fresh new cooler of light beer to the great Yacht Rock yacht.

Well I made it in, melodica and all. It's been a crazy busy week of music and no signs of letting up. I think I know the mistakes I made with this one but I had to wrap it up, won't have time to try and polish it any further. Hope I get a chance to listen to the other entries, haven't heard Three Quarters yet!

In with something a wee bit less sloppy than recent entries. Wee bit. No melodica, though.

Night Sky is in with a collaboration with Heine. He provided guitars and some backing vocals. I gave him way less time than he gave me, so I take full responsibility for any less refined bits.
Night Sky is Sally on lyrics, Steve on drums, and Matt on the other stuff

I'm looking forward to Heine and Night Sky's Motown collaboration. Hostess Mostess's yacht rock entry is something I look forward to with cautious optimism.
