Let's see if my attempt at writing accessible radio rock works out.

I'm in again for this one.
I had a guitar solo and then remembered the optional challenge so doubled it up with a synth.

Can a solo be a solo if it's more than one instrument though? :D

Well...technically no, but we refer to "one instrument taking the focus" as a solo even when other instruments are playing, as they often are. I guess it's a duet.

I still need to record my synth solo, right now it's just a very empty breakdown section. Anyway, "standard poppy alternative radio rock + microtonality" seems to have been a success. Except I'm still not happy with the production or my vocals, but I'm never too happy with those....

Only if it's so lo we can't hear one of them.....

Looking forward to hearing this, PCA.

Also quiet in the fightmaster inbox. It's going to be another small fight.

I’ve got a late one coming soon if I can get a little more grace period.

I wasn’t going to send anything though I wrote, recorded, and started to mix. Then I sent it anyway. So in addition to being typical BW fare, it will have a bad mix (which is probably typical too). But it was a song about having an undeniable, un-ignorable drive to create, the kind that hurts to do but hurts more not to, and try to entertain people, if even from a humble and primitive place, despite not being talented enough to play covers or successfully imitate the radio, and as a result, just trying to do something different and also doing a bad job at that too. But why submit such a song? I figure people get too entitled to beauty and polish in their music, there’s the radio for that. Bad art is also art… I guess; this song will only make your song seem better! That’s the silver lining in all this.

Night Sky is in late. There are a bunch of things that could be improved, but it's good enough to send in.
