EMERGENCYPIZZAPARTY - nice concept and backing track here, quite polished-sounding. the lyrics for each verse were written by the person performing them, i am assuming? because the first verse (before the chick part starts) is fairly well-done (and the chick part sounds pretty good too, except the "i'm pregnant again" line doesn't really fit so well, and then it just kind of ends early without really having ended.) but then, the second verse is honestly pretty lousy. mostly it is restating what was said in the first verse, but less creatively. a definite low point was the line that says "so sickening it makes me wanna puke" (or something close). and again, nearer the end, there are another two verses and the second is -- sorry -- pretty awful. saying the stuff about RPGs, it sounded really bad.

JACOBLYNN - musically this is great, especially the intro. i totally get the point you are trying to make, lyrically, but i wonder if there was a better way to say it than this chorus. repeating the words "wedding song, wedding song" so many times isn't really doing it for me.
JIMMYJETANDHISTVSET - "...ride on the peace train!..."
KLOWNHOLE - whoah, danzing. could have been a little longer, but actually i think it's pretty great as is - i love how the ending just kind of sneaks up on you.
MELVIN - hey, boo on the thieving the thieving-intros-from-U2 thing from the killers. also, the pitch-bendy guitar parts throughout the verses make my ears want to cry. love the chorus though, very hooky and memorable, "if i like myself, etc".
OURDOG - starts out sounding so promising, but never really develops into anything! not really digging the vocals, mostly i think it is just due to the dull lyrics.
PACODELSTINKO - not only is dr. teeth contributing vocals here, somehow you recruited they might be giants as your back-up band, and somehow this collection of people decided they needed to cover countdown-era megadeth. if that's not
vote-worthy, then i don't know what is. i particularly liked the line, "i'm dying to be dead" - it reminded me of (but sounds way cooler than) when meatloaf was talking about "and now i'm waiting for the end of time."
RONERIVENDALE - ok ok i know it's somehow become like a fun game to pick on you or whatever. so just so you know, i am totally serious when i say this. next time you are ripping off new order for music to a song, please please please rip off the vocals too!
THANKGLENNNYFORTHEFRISBEE - very cute, i see we're in contention here for filling in the spot recently vacated by carol cleveland sings when the spinto band became world-famous touring artists. but this song is so packed full of metaphors, i really didn't understand a single word of what you were trying to get across.
THEFRIEDRICHHONIGHOSENPROJECT - the background here has so much potential to be part of a great like industrial-dance sort of thing. and then you had to go and stick all of these stupid words over top of it, none of this was particularly amusing in my opinion. also, i get the impression that you're trying to go for a sort of like mechanical vibe, but that gets ruined that one time near the end where the right-channel vocal forgets to come in at the same time as the left-channel saying "wedding song".
THENARCOLOUNGERS - this song ranks a very strong second-place. it spent more time stuck in my head than any other during that week, and i probably would have voted for it except for that cheeeeeezey keyboard solo, which i felt ruined the whole song. pretty much anything in the world could have gone there and sounded better than that. (oh yeah and i also wanted to mention: i hope someone gets your, hope that someone gets your message in a bottle.)
VOH - if this was based on real actual events with real people, man that would be a ballsy move. however, if it is loosely based on real people but imagined events, that would be pretty pathetic. and the idea of two people being drunk enough to lose their inhibitions even though one of them is married, but then not being too drunk to successfully have sex in strange and flexible ways, sort of makes me think either you've never been drunk or never had sex or at the very least, imagined this whole thing. anyway it sounds pretty good -- one minor change i would have liked to have seen though, would have been at the very end, to repeat the last line, as in "but thank god, i know now, i know now."
WAGES - i love when people save me from the effort of making up things to say about their songs. "a poor excuse for a wedding song, a wedding song gone wrong" -- thanks
YES YES NO, YES - i always wondered what it would be like to play "revolution #9" backwards. thanks for saving me the trouble, apparently it's pretty stupid.
ZIPLINE - this starts out all quiet and subdued, like the beginning of
clouds taste metallic, so much that i was expecting that harsh guitar riff (from that song -- "the abandoned hospital ship", i looked up the title) to come in. instead, what does come in is another in a long, long line of sunny day real estate (some might say radiohead, i dunno) wannabes. luckily, you do that style fairly well, and your voice is well-suited to it. not a bad song altogether.
