Hey, wow, no-one's posted here yet. Must be a Problem of... oh, never mind.

Might be in this one. Haven't done anything new in a long while, and my demos are starting to sound stale to me, ack. Still shipping 'em out, though.

Yeah, well, thanks to the FMs for allowing a little extra time this week, maybe in acknowledgment of Nur Ein... I haven't even started to think about a song for this, but it sure seems like there should be some good cover art in there somewhere...

Damn, great title. Not only do I have problems, but my perspective is also skewed. I'm fun damn it! 8)

Has anyone noticed that this fight is due on Cinco De Mayo?

Something Cinco-related should have been an optional challenge.

I just noticed that five years ago this week, I made my SF debut, with an awful Shreds that I'd like to forget. I think this anniversary calls for another awful song that I'd like to forget.

I'm in y'all. Looks like attention has gone Nur Ein's way though.

We're in, thanks to lyrics by Niveous, and to staying up way too late on a "school night".

i'm in with another "live" take of a song i finished writing as i was recording it.
i had no inspiration for this title until 11pm last night, so everything is hurried.
but, what's new, right?

Well, it's Monday morning, deadline is less than four hours away, but I came up with a lyric last night so I'm going to try to do a fairly simple recording today and get this in. Just need to double check what the actual title is and make sure that's what's in the song :-)

I like that the deadline for this one is the same day and time that the new Nur Ein title will be announced. The Mrs. has decided that she's going to take some time off working at the end of this school year to get another teaching certification, so, basically, after sometime in June, my "home alone" time will decrease dramatically. So I'm planning to do a LOT of music in the meantime. Between Nur Ein, songfight, tuneflow and some cover projects I'm working on... by the end of June, my arms are going to be so carpal tunneled up I'll just have to put the guitars away for six months just to recover...

Anyway... hoping to have a song in by deadline time today...

EDIT: okay, shipping at 8:58 Arizona time, which I believe means I'm an hour ahead of the deadline...

I'm in for my first fight in probably more than 2 years. My band is the Iqballers. We're recording an album and we managed to get a songfight in for good measure.

Wow. I'm actually back after a year sans songfighting.

I wonder if anyone remembers me.

I do, but I'm sure you don't remember me. I often think of your Applesauce Baptism song.

I remember you! Mostly because of your name.
