Review A Little Bit More (Love Me reviews)

[Ross]

My hard drive has some evidence that this will be a big fight.

??

I think Oats made 4 different Rone songs...

Oh, right. He submitted all those? I thought was some sort of side project.

[Spud]

For better or worse, we have a new record. 54.

[Henrietta]

Holy Monkeys, Batman!!

[roymond]

54!? Wow, this is surely a fire hazard!

Paco's cuts off. What's up with that?

[JonPorobil]

Agh! That's a ton of songs!

So. A warning to the inevitable people who turned in intentionally-bad songs: You will be mercilessly skipped over during my reviews so I can dedicate my painfully finite time to those submissions that showed some degree of effort.

I'll probably do reviews this Sunday.

[Spud]

54!? Wow, this is surely a fire hazard!

Paco's cuts off. What's up with that?

I have re-uploaded it. Should be better now. Well, more complete, anyway.

[EmbersOfAutumn]

*Eyes bulging*

Wow, guess I should start listening for reviews now... it's gonna take awhile to get all these done!

(EDIT: Is there some reason that, while reviewing Chopped Liver's song, the lyrics sound familiar... ? )

[Lunkhead]

Damn, way to bring it, Durand brothers.

[Caravan Ray]

For better or worse, we have a new record. 54.

Hey, I got an idea!!

Multiple titles!!!

[roymond]

For better or worse, we have a new record. 54.

Hey, I got an idea!!

Multiple titles!!!

That'll never work.

[The Weakest Suit]

For better or worse, we have a new record. 54.

i think you mean 55.
i sent in an entry too.

[Manhattan Glutton]

I only did a quick run-through. Good work everyone! Here are the ones that stand out so far.

Melvin: Slow and groovy. Very epic. Verse vocals could maybe benefit from being in a higher key? Excellent vocals at the chorus, though.

Pet Squirrel: Great job on the music, try a little harder on the vocals.

Quimby: This may be my favorite. I love the singing. It could use some more production and drums, but the fact that it stands without shows how strong of an entry it is.

Rik Gerblick: Very solid entry. It feels like it's missing a strong hook, but that could just be my genre bias.

Swilington: The main riff is really cool. The structure could use a little more elaboration. I almost imagine it as a 10 minute long techno with drum solos all over.

Todd McHatton: I like the retro style to it. There's just so many things going on, my ears are so happy - yet so distracted. They don't know what hook to grab onto.

The Worldly Self-Assurance: Great song. Almost a guaranteed vote, but the verse vocals leave something to be desired.

Don't know who I'll vote for yet. As for my song, yeah, who knows what I was thinking.

[Spud]

For better or worse, we have a new record. 54.

i sent in an entry too.

Yes, 55. Yours is now up.

Future trivia answer: LMALBM is the first time I'm in two collabs in the same fight.

Snap. Thank dave for multiple voting. I'm loving some of these band names.

What we neeeeed moooore of iiiiis fiiiights...

Unfortunately I have no (regular and prolonged) access to a computer with speakers/CD burning facility + CD player so that's my excuse if I happen to not review this fight. My apologies. I could always review band names as a consolation.

Babylon Horuv Feat. Pandamonieum and Atryom - sounds like a cross between shit sc-fi and wannabe whiteboy rappers (like me). Why not just start a band with Panda. and Atryom, give it a new name and have Feat. done Feat. with Feat. it
Berkshire Social Scene - Ooh, an english twist on a bay area twist on a canadian band name, convoluted and self referential!
Cabin Fever - small and depressing
The Chadderandom Abyss - reminds me of cheese, aaah cheese....
Chopped Liver Meat God - Like it. I'd worship you any day (except Sunday)
Cobalt Stomach - Non-serious metal? a bit like Goblin Cock
Cock - A lot like Goblin Cock but obviously with fewer goblins. Simple and effective.
Country Martyrs - A terrible genre of music crossed with a self-righteous concept. Not much potential here.
deetak - techno
Durand Durand - The first time you read it it's hilarious and it gets gradually less hilarious each subsequent time. Vote!
DuToVa - Russian tennis players attempt Song Fight! and what a week to choose. ranked 52.
Embers of Autumn - Heard it. Next!
Eric Strom's Daily Song dot Com - Self explanatory in a way the Dave Matthews Band should be in the 21st century. But is the material as good as Jonathan Mann? Maybe I'll never know.
Evil-E - The kind that makes you drink too much water and drown yourself.
Heine - Smells like German ass.
The Hell Yeahs - When will there be a tribute band called the Fuck Yeahs? that's what I wnat to know (checks archive). Yeah, when?
Hostess Mostess - The name implies classic quality songwriting and a solid fanbase.
Howl Down the Chimney - Maybe one day someone will howl back.
Jimmy Jet and his TV Set - Nice, but I think Jimbo's relying too much on his backing set these days.
John Kloberdanz - If this is your real name then A) it's a good name (the Kloberdanz bit anyway) B) couldn't you think of a more imaginative first name? 1/2 a point.
Jonathan Mann - Well, that's just your name isn't it? Anyone who wasn't going to listen to these songs might be fooled into thinking you had no sense of humour, now wouldn't that be awful?
Jon Eric & The Transpacific Babble Brigade - It's good to know that Jon Eric's attempting to avoid genericism, and one doesn't see much transpacificism around here either. well done but no cigar.
LSK - 2nd rate TMK
Maggie Kanuka - See Johnathan Mann's "review"
Manhattan Glutton - I'm getting bored by myself
Mar la Alma - this seemed like a good idea when I started
Max The Cat - but now it's becoming a pain in the arse
McRamahamasham - and I'm only about halfway down
Melvin - and I feel silly
Melvin is God - Oh dear, you should have called yourself Rone Will Eat Himself
Ocho del Culo - and again in spanish, but I can't translate spanish which is unfortunate since I'm in San Diego.
Paco del Stinko - Wash for dave's sake!
The Pathetic Wannabees - Is the 2nd 'e' in 'wannabees' strictly necessary. It's a matter of opinion I suppose.
Pet Squirrel - I dreamed I had a pet squirrel once, which is lucky cos if I had a real pet squirrel my dad most likely would have shot it when I wasn't looking. And then ate it.
PiGPEN - I'm always a fan of Peanuts references. Listen to the Van Pelt.
Plain Songs for Doves & Tigers - I wonder if birds ever shit on land-based animals....
Quimby - Diamond
raisin brain - Unfortunate but powerful, metaphorically.
Red Skeletons - Sounds like a real band name. You could get on the radio with a name like that.
Rik Gerblick - Sort of rhyming and with the Gerbil influence. Solid work.
R. Mosquito - Bastard
roymond Feat. Billy's Little Trip - Or is it Billy's Little Trip Feat. roymond.....no.
Signboy - Implies deafness and hence bad music. Don't play the Beethoven card with me, even I'm not that pretentious (weeeell....)
The Sky Looks Pissed - Ooh, nice.
Slats - Gash
SomeGuyCalledNoel - But does he have a super duper band 'n' stuff? Probably not. What a letdown.
squidbird - Can't go far wrong with pairing 2 miss-matched creatures. Sheepdolphin, ghostworm, octopus rex. Maybe I'd have tried out Alpha squidbird, just a thought.
Steve Durand - Somebody is playing Kid Rock in the background which has put me in a rage and you are bearing the brunt of it Steve Durand. God hates penguins, and penguins hate Kid Rock.
Swilington - Some kind of classy pig. You'll run a communist farm one day my lad. well, I say communist, I mean totalitarian.
Todd McHatton - Yawn, I suppose you're name is Todd McHatton isn't it? I thought so.
A Tribe Called Quoons - Nice, next week try Quoons & The Gang. Vote
Wet Towel Society - Quite like the angle. I've always wanted to be in a band called Brown Towel personally, just thought I'd share that.
The White Hat - So you're bringing the rock huh? Well chances are I won't hear it and your name inspires little mirth. Cruel to be kind
The Worldly Self-Assurance - Not as good acronym as the North American variation, but still a nice reference to some nearly classic literature, and Help! by the Beatles I suppose. Vote (cough).

What we neeeeed moooore of iiiiis fiiiights....

Aw, you just made me tear up a little bit.

[Reist]

Man, I saw the band name 'Melvin Is God' and cracked up pretty hard. I tip my hat to the genius who came up with that.

Haha, is it Oatsie mimicking rone? The vocals sound similar.

[irwin]

Durand Durand is the best band name ever.

Edit- and a pretty damn good song too.

[EmbersOfAutumn]

My reviews will be up tonight or tomorrow, I've had to take 3 breaks so far and have 42 done.

Head...hurts....

Also, I'm up to at least 6 (from the songs I could hear what's being sung) songs that are part of the "Rone Rivendale" cover collection.

[Teplin]

This is going to be overwhelming. I'm listening to bits and pieces. Hey, Weakest Suit! This is the best entry I've heard from you. Good Job!

There may be one more late (r)one coming...

Yes, it's my real name.

I'll take the 1/2 point!

[MisterQuoons]

Nice, next week try Quoons & The Gang.

I'm debating whether or not to take that as a challenge.
