Hi, I'm back again. Just submitted - quite early this time.

I took my guitar while I was waiting for my computer to start, played a bit and got this song. Recorded it instantly. Layed down drums, rhythm guitars and bass, each using the first take. Yes, sloppy indeed, some mistakes - but to me it retains a fresh vibe.

For the first time I tried to make it sound like some sixties record. I hope I'll get some helpful hints how to create a more vintage guitar and bass sound.

I'm in.

A little something I threw together, but about time I was back at this - and if my math is right, this is ten years since my first fight.

:D

There should be some kind of inside term for a ten-year vet.

I'm actually working on a concept album right now. FAWM has been a help getting the stuff done. ... and I found a way to tie the song title to my concept album, so I'm in.

This time there's an instrument, but I compensate for that by making up my own genre.

Laid out. Can't format for art submission. So just take this as my livejournal of the day.

I just posted my lyric and noted that by a spooky coincidence, both Mr. Beany's and my lyrics contain the words "polar bear". Weird, huh? "I'll be your polar bear", my song states. I guess that means Mr. Beany is going to kill and skin me. :shock:

Request: can we get the next title now so that those of us doing FAWM have a chance of being able to do the song before the end of Feb?
Thanks!

Ok I am feeling well enough that I've cut the image up and submitted it officially as Art for the fight. So there's at least one in there to use.

That's awesome. :lol:

My song is more theoretical than sharp and pointy. You should be safe.
