fdrinked reviews. I've already listened to these songs a few times. So this will be the truth
...by the way, the Sarah Palin can ride my beast anytime.....*budump bump*

Andrew Reist - I like that you're finally doing music that will get you laid. But most important, you're selling out. Good on you, M8. Reach for the gold, I say. It doesn't matter that you rock and that you're an awesome young musician. Give "them" what they want and be rich beyond your wildest dreams. That is really what I think, oh by the way, which one's Pink? :( vote

B. Ellison - This is nice. I've heard it somewhere before, but I like this one. Brushes much needed on the bridge. You're damn good. Vote.

Berkeley Social Scene - Love the start, killer drums and guitar! The music is superb. Verse are SO wall flowers, but the chorus' are surf music greatness. Why can't you fuckers make entire songs like your chorus in this one, I love the lazy energy. Lazy energy is my life story, lol. The coordination of the drums and guitars make this song. I could listen to an instrumental of this for many minutes, if not quarters of hours. Vote of course!

Elaine DiMasi - Oh yeah, the new lady. No problem holding a note. Hmmm, you're not bad, actually. Everything is so weak, but I hear past that and I hear killer music here. I want more edge and you were pushing for it, but it wasn't quite there, the music is holding it back, but close enough for me to like it. It just hit me, the drums! They need more power to bring up the juice that your vocals are grabbing for. vote. Please make the check out to the BLT. In the the memo write, "for beer". :wink:

Jake Lions Band - Ok, this is different. You are not genre based, as far as I can tell, so that's cool. Obviously you get paranoid after smoking tA herbz. Trying to give your impression of old rock? vote.

Jeff Robertson and the Neo-Candylanders - You're guitar is killer and you you do a killer bass. You change tempo and give a real feel, which I like. vote

Side note: I've been getting you two Jeffs mixed up for ever. I hope I thanked the right one of you two for the guitar on "in the valley". If not, thank you. Oh, you know which one I'm thanking.

Jeff Travis Henderson - Cool vocal delivery! Cool rhythm and thump. I love classic rock, yet never do it like this. Great job. Vote.

Lonbobby - This is good. Like Andrew, you two are going for the gold. This is really what you need to sell music. Go for for broke, and when die hards like myself try to dog you, just look at us straight in the face and tell us to fuck off. I'll never listen to it, but then again, I don't pay for my music or go to concerts of this type, even if they're free. Great creation and studio work! Vote

Lord of Oats - My Sharona! I like how words never rhythm where they should. Are you awesome, or a tard? Damn, I like this song, Oatinhymer. Creative and fun. Vote.

Maggie Kanuka - You rock chick! Tighten up the overall reverbiness on everything and it would bring us in closer. I swear I could produce the hell out of this, click track residue and all. You're tight on the power chords, but they could use some thickness. I like this. Vote!

Manhattan Glutton - Great panned intro. Love running a repetitive riff that sounds like it's changing pitch because of the other instruments chord changes. Not sure what it's called, but I do it often and love it because it's magic. This is pretty good. You were creative with the lay out and did cool things with the guitar. Vote.

MC Eric B - You rock, dude. Your chorus made me pee my pants, but you are so dedicated and take the time to write, make music and submit it. Because of that, I respect you a lot. Spend some of that Interwebz money and buy some other instruments to complement your keys. I'm ready to groove and you're holding back WAY to long. Time to open up the Eric Mick Bee can of wHoOp aSs!

Melvin - hur'in me? Dude, you do know that Canadian white is the whitest possible white in the history of the white Universe, right? Fuck it, you're funk it it hard. I like your groove no matter how......well, let's just say I like your groove. You're pretty fly for a white guy. Love the chip sound and the six mill man bit. VOTE!

Naked Philosophy - The buzz gets a bit annoying, but the rock covers it. I like the choppy groove. I bet you can pull off Neil Young vocals great. I kind of like this song because of the interesting choppiness. Vote.

oddbod - I like the melody a lot. It reminds me of Glenn Case's happy delivery. Good performance and sweet guitars. The melodica give a nice change in sound. Good song. Vote.

Paco del Stinko - Cool spooky keys. Love how the guitar comes in on one side then hits both side when the song kicks. I love doing that. The guitar in this song is stupendous and the solo is delicious. Nice bold ending to a rocking tune. Great work, Chuck. Vote!

PiGPEN - It all sounds cool sonically on my headphones. A lot of layers. I'm never sure how much is actual playing of the keys or if it is samples. But it really doesn't matter, because it sounds pretty cool. Vote.

Rone Rivendale - This song makes me want to break stuff. Where's your guitar? I thought you were going to start bringing the rock?

The Scary Things - This is perfect example of what to sing about when you can't think of anything to write about. So from now on, when people say that they can't write a song because the title is lame, I'll say, The Scary Things.

the tests - Cool. Kind of a Pink Floyd vibe, but not a copied sound. It's hard to make G&G work, so the synth helps push it through. Pretty good song. Vote.

Todd McHatton - I like your vocal mixing technique. The harmonies always sound good. Very boosted levels again. Pretty goos song. Vote.

The Weakest Suit - G&G is a tough gig to keep someones interest listening with out seeing. But your story kept me listening to the end, so that means your writing was important enough to keep me interested. Vote.

Where's Fluff? - Flight of the Condors. But I must say, you do it well. Funny and fun. Vote.

Yeah, I know. This was my first song in a few months. Not just for SF, but anywhere. So I went with computer guitar. Next song will be Ronerock (I should copyright that).
From spoken word to actual singing, I can screw up any style with style. :D

Used in a sentence: Hey, stop sounding like everyone else, get your Ronerock!
