My point exactly - so I agree that when MC Eric B hears a song by Lyric Burgler using words by MC Eric B, MC Eric B is not hearing another version of "his" song, and neither is it a lyric Burgler song - it belongs to both of them, neither can claim it on their own.
It really depends on whether you feel that the lyrics are the defining characteristic of the song or not. I think that they are alternate songs with the same lyrics, which some could claim is an "alternate version." It's a semantic argument which is inherently impossible to "win" simply because different perspectives lead to different combinations of definitions and so on.

Should it really be that hard or complicated to be, like,
"I'm in for this fight, with ___ by ___."?
it's just basic respect for other musicians, really.

Blank? You kids and all your fancy interwebz typing. But why would you write that you're in a song with Blank that is by them?

Wait, what? Oh, I see, wiki says: "A groyne (groin in the United States)"
Spelling differences strike again!

I think the Rolling Stones should have sued ZZTop back when La Grange came out. Then again the Rolling Stones should've been sued many times.

like by John Lee Hooker:

Well thanks for bringing it up, Glenny. But I don't believe the stones have much claim to a Slim Harpo song, beyond the rights to their own arrangement and recording.

Who else beat ZZ Top by at least a couple years?

And who else has plagiarized since then?

I hope we all have a good time this week.

I kinda bit a line from a Colbert show the other day. He said that John McCain injects red bull into his taint, and this week I pose the question regarding which candidate titillates the listener's taint.

Anyway, I ditched outta work this afternoon to quickly record a little ditty, so I'm in.

well, I've mostly written two different songs - neither of which is calling to me - I fear I may let this fight pass. We'll see if I get the itch to record one of them tonight.

I'm in!

Whew, that was a last minute mix. It was tough to tell the clippiness during mastering, since my sister needs sleep and I had to turn the mix down pretty low. So, my guess is that this mix is gonna be either really awesome, or really bad.

And I get to write a paper tomorrow morning because I didn't do it tonight! Hurrah for priorities. :roll:

You need a good....GOOD set of studio headphones. You'll make the fam really happy in the mixing process. Trust me, it's a must.

I've been through a lot of different headphones, and my current ones (Audio-Technica ATH-M45) are my favorites ever. Really nice, near-flat response, no thuddiness, crystal clear sound, and pretty darn good isolation. I think they were around $100ish.

Certainly better than my previous studio cans (Grado SR-60 sounds good but has a hell of a lot of spill, Sennheiser HD-280s fall apart if you look at them funny, and AKG-K55 are okay if you don't mind having headphones which fall off with a slight breeze and/or don't like hearing the bass parts of your mix).

I'm using the DT-770's and they're pretty good. They hide the highs a bit, but they are good and flat.
