You can add me to that list too. I've been thinking it might be interesting to put up a silly poll to see what the majority view is on this subject, but I haven't decided what the most neutral way of posing the question is yet.
Yes - I see we all have different ways of looking at this
The obvious answer of course is multiple titles. Someone should start a thread to discuss that!
I'm out. My Grimms Fairy tales inspired theme was ok, but I was unable to hit record in time. Title arguments aside, most would probably agree that some new Frankie would most certainly be welcome. Him good.
Alright, after a long night of fighting against a new recording program and new equipment, I've finished and submitted for Switcheroo. I look forward to the fight gentlemen.
i'm in.
i've been sick since last friday.
my voice just started to come back for talking on wednesday, but i still have been devoid of energy.
wednesday night i spent a half hour throwing something together.
i recorded about ten live takes (two of which i made it all the way through the song)
i took one of the live takes and sent it in.
i thought switcheroo sounded like the name of a frank black song, so i tried to write a frank black-ish sounding song about the lofty goals and disappointing realities of high school dating (trying to get laid).
my voice is off in parts, but it usually is anyway even when i'm not sick, so maybe it won't sound so different.
I'm out. I finished the song last night but it's so bad, even by my standards, that I didn't submit it.
I had a great idea too. I recorded myself doing several different sounds and imported them into FL to make a beat. And surprisingly it pretty much sounded like a normal techno beat too. The biggest problem was I did the vocals at the last minute and didn't have the time to redo it enough times to get it on beat. So the end result was music and vocals that sound like they came from two different songs.
Look forward to the ppl who made it in.
From spoken word to actual singing, I can screw up any style with style.
I'm out this week. I had an idea, but I've been too busy with work this week to get into it too much. Maybe I'll submit via the review thread what I was working on to see if people would like it. I missed the deadline, so it's the only way I'd make it in. I'll listen though. I'm eager to see where people will go with this title.
