Andrew Reist: Straight off this kind of hard rock melo-balladeering usually sends me reaching for the nearest Pavement cd with which to wash out my ears, but this is actually a couple of (possibly quite major) tweaks (if there is such a thing as a major tweak) from being almost cool. If one were to Pete-ify this they'd need to tone down the distortion a notch or two, make the mix a bit dryer, add in some more notes - it feels like an eternity waiting for you to play the next chord and it rarely satisfies, and whisper the words instead of the falsetto emoting. However, I guess you're probably quite pleased with the way this turned out so I'm losing faith with the shamelessly subjective approach to reviewing already, must....be....strong.
Ash Kanna: Yay, accapella. kudos for the concept, well pulled off. This sounds pretty schmoove. I'd like to hear you take this approach to all musical styles. It's not just that I'm not big on RnB, but you never hear people beatboxing for rock tunes do you?
Berkeley Social Scene: The left guitar has a really nice tone, the right one sounds like ass by comparison. I like the dual vocalising, some of the lyrics are cool, rhyming musician with decision is a good one. Ultimately the track sort of drifts by like some bar band having a blues jam, nobody's really listening but it sounds quite nice in the background. Hi Bella!
BLT feat. Quimby: I'm sorry that I haven't really got much to say about this apart from that it's pretty good. cool contrast of guitar tones, not a bad song, not too long. good job.
Bourbon Drops: The best song i've heard so far (in the fight that is, not ever, sorry), good words and melody, who is this guy? sounds like a loser.
Charles Cack & His Little Cack Surprise: hahaha, yes. vote. Though it does feel like it should end after 1 minute.
deetak: This sounds part Antony, part Dirty Projectors. Spooky, nice feel. Your backing vocal sounds like a theremin sometimes.
Drew styles: The best way I can think to make this sound cooler would be to make the electric guitar play some repetitive jangly riff rather than jangling around the chords, cos then you'd get that...oh in fact you've started doing it when you turn the distortion on. That works, but when you just double up the chords it feels kind of redundant. yeah, okay.
Jedi spaceship: Cool bass, vox are annoying, drums could be funkier, it sounds like you couldn't find a cowbell so you're hitting a jam jar with a pen.
Jim McCarter: What can I say that's never been said before?
Ka Maua: Sweet, Steve! You da man. This is just like 'Loco Man' from A Mighty Wind, is that what you were going for? either way, it's awesome. vote.
LML: Katie Perrific. Good.
LSK: Hahaha, nice even if it did hurt my ears a bit. thanks for keeping it short, that is in no way a criticism of the song. shall i vote for this......ooooooh, moral dilemma.
MC + LK: One of the more accomplished recordings this week but the kind of Men at Work style white reggae does nothing for me. Functional lyrics.
mc joebuddy: 30 seconds in and I have 2 bits of advice/criticism. 1. I can't see myself enjoying this for over 3 minutes, even if you know your tune is killer try and keep it nearer the 2 minute mark - of course this is all throwaway advice, to be considered but not get too hung up on, but it's always better to have someone say "I listened to this twice it was so good" instead of" I only got halfway through this", anyway 2. kudos for the speedrapping, but you've got plenty of time in this song to draw out your syllables more. You could chop at least a minute of this song, make each line last twice as long and end up with a much more engaging song, possibly.
noah mclaughlin: Usually I worry about listening to your songs cos I have this voice at the back of my mind saying "is he gonna sound like the guy from Creed again?". You've neatly circumnavigated this problem with the french approach which manages to erase a lot of the Creediness from your voice. As a result I quite enjoyed this, I like the drums, it's catchy and has plenty of lyrical verve, even when i read the english translation it looks quite poetic. Good work.
Pacemin Stinkemdown: How much d'you wanna bet I'll get more votes than you?

Pafetic wannabees: Reverb/delay overload, the vocal is clipping pretty consistently, might wanna turn that down. funky tune, nice harmonicating, not really digging the vocal delivery.
paulotteson: Ooh two harmonica tunes in a row. Your voice is really great, it totally makes this from a sonic perspective, kind of makes me think of Bon Iver. the song is good too, possibly one of my faves even, so far. Real good stuff, keeper + vote.
Sky looks pissed: From your self-deprecating I expected this to be shit, maybe that's your cunning plan, lower our expectations enough so that we're pleasantly surprised. This is by far not the worst song here, and the recording and delivery is fine. I like your voice.
south sycamore wheelbarrows factoire: sludgy indie noise death. There is a particularly rhythmic beetle crawling all over the tape, might wanna turn him down. although the singer could no doubt learn a thing or two from him about keeping time. Thanks for being short!
TMK: Me emoting and then breaking up, it's not a break-up song though. Or an atheist anthem, maybe agnostic/pantheist b-side. I'm disappointed I haven't received any kudos for the stylophone solo yet. So that's it from TMK, farewell. Eat Jamie's Pasties!
Toasted sandwich: Ooh, english. word. It's a real sweet song, I dug it from the opening chords and i love the sparse percussion. Backing vox are swell but perhaps a wee bit loud. Nice solo, although I encourage you to enlist the talents of Steve Durand next time. Cool outro, I like the way it layers up and swirls before the fade out. I'd probably keep this but for the scat, I like the concept of scat for comedy purposes but...well, I hate to admit it but i don't want to hear it in a song. there I said it : (
Possible vote.
Wages: This was going along quite nicely until that section with the stabs that starts at 1:07, not a bad section but the 4th chord doesn't work very well, and then after that it sounds a bit like all the sections are in different keys, there are some cool bits. Part of my problem with the recording is that when the tempo is constant you seem to struggle to find a meter to stick to, and then you keep putting in the tempo changes (which I applaud) but it seems to make things even harder for you to sing over and keep it coherent. There's potential here then, but as I've no doubt said before, you could really use a tight rhythm section. Also, sorry for sounding like a pretentious prick with a superiority complex but I can't hear much difference in the quality of your guitar playing than a couple of years ago. I prescribe another 1/2 an hour a day playing guitar. what? you've got work? quit, come one. what's more important? really.....
T'weakest suit: The verse seems to be a bit of a one trick pony but i do like the "Lucas went with Morgan....again" line. haha, good ending. Solid tune then, won't change my life but nae bad.
