The Song Fight Bulletin Board

I don't know if I can pull it together in the 11th hour but I'm going to give it my best. Pressure! (all in the fun of the GOM)

I second frankie's sentiment. My apologies.

Six for six!

Huh?

Are you referring to yourself?

Or Mark?



...or the Australian cricket team this summer?

Honestly, I broke a string last night.

I don't think I can finish without it.

Hopefully, I will find another one.

But I probably still won't make it on time.

But I intend to make it at some point, since I am loving what I have so far, even if it's a bit...samesy.

I'm referring to me! And the cricket team also. I didn't think I was gonna make it due to various bouts of ill health but I've managed to put together a song that I think is decently respectable. I'm both pleased and a little lucky to be able to meet the deadline.

Everything's recorded. Now to begin the laborious process of turning all this slop into a song.

Outlook for deadline: no guarantees.

Just play on the next string up on a higher fret. Next caller, you're on the air with BLT (cow moo sound) in the morning (fart sound) Ohhhhh, yeahhh.

Right. I don't have enough time to record as it is, so I'm going to change my whole approach to playing the song.

They sell those at these places called music stores - you can even get them at like Target and stuff. You don't need no BLT.

So, I'm working on mine, but it won't be at its best if I hand it in now. I think tomorrow will be better. Any chance of another extension?? I've had a lot of vocal issues (yes, like always).

man.

Oh, this is not going well. Production quality is way down. I don't know if I can make deadline but I'm working on it. Right now, it would probably sound better if I recorded into a frickin 1984 tape recorder than my laptop.

Also, if I put my DAW in loop mode then hit 'play' it crashes for no reason. Yay technology.

how long have you guys had to cover one song again?

I know I've had a long time to put together this song (especially since I set the deadline) and during the time, I have learned how to play the song and I planned how I was going to do it. I got friends together to help and that arrangement didn't work out. So I went to another arrangement. I got myself some new software to add to the mix. I put all the pieces together and now in the 11th hour when all I need to do is record and be done, it's that aspect that isn't working. If it had the chance to do the song live for my person, I could do that. But this is just a technical error and it's fucking frustrating as hell.

Yeah, I won't even make the 12th hour.

Ok, screw waiting, I handed it in. Hopefully I'll be able to finish the rest at a later date. For now, merry Christmas to my giftee
Now I have to get to bed, because I'm supposed to get up for work at 6am

and what would a gift of music be without phil getting stiffed?

Ah shit, I thought I'd have until midnight tonight PST.

Oh well. I think I'm just gonna submit what I have and tweak further if needed.

Uh yeah-- don't we have until midnight? Niv's last missive lead me to believe as such.

In any case, I'm rippin' and uploadin' right now -- at 11:00pm pst. Bear with me, giftee!
