I don't know why I am so very busy.

[gizo]

Oh shit I think I’m fighting a song!

[crumpart]

Oh shit! Woohoo!

[thirdcatmusic]

I'm too busy to make a song called ... ... oh nevermind. I'll probably make something.

[gizo]

Three chords is enough to be a song, right?

[sleepysilverdoor]

Three chords is enough to be a song, right?

I mean two fights ago I only used one, so I think three is adequate

[gizo]

Well. That was unexpected.

We’ve been in lockdown for 11 weeks, and not a song has fought its way out. Until this weekend, when three chords and some misery slipped out around the edges of a mountain walk.

Today, Lollypops finally went back to school and came home humming my tune. So we carpe’d the diem, and stood her in front of the mic, and left her alone to record new lead vocals.

I continue to be a terrible mixer, so I’ll fiddle a little longer and then submit before time slips away again.

It’s been rad, thanks for still being here, each and every one of you.

[gizo]

I have officially returned. Entry submitted.

And for the record - Lollypops did her own tracking. I was banished from the room and she made her own creative decisions about tracks, effects, panning, etc. although I did add some reverb and panning to her atmospheric vocal track.....

Take care, you are all beautiful

[ujnhunter]

Forgive me Father for I have sinned...

[WreckdoMelle]

WreckdoM in just over the deadline -will Brown Word break her streak? Unfortunately perhaps?

[sleepysilverdoor]

Phlebia needs to record vox and drums... But should be submitted either today or tomorrow! I refuse to break my streak!

[Mostess]

Hostess Mostess is in the fight.

We proved that we are very busy by using only first takes for each track and spending no more than an hour on mixing.

After re-listening I think we proved how very busy we are. Enjoy!

[sleepysilverdoor]

Paco your song better be amazing cause I loved reading through the lyrics. And Toby I'm jealous of your story, as I would love to hang out with Paul Reubens at a festival.

[sleepysilverdoor]

I'm submitted officially, let me know via PM if you got it, Lunkhead!

[ujnhunter]

Please don't have your headphones on full blast... you have been warned.

[neutronflow]

Just sending something in now.

[WreckdoMelle]

Whoo! Brown Word just sent in a loud one.

[SweeneyToad]

i sent mine earlier this week but forgot to post here, i guess i was busy. this one is the most "chip-hop" i've done so far I think.

[Pigfarmer Jr]

I sent in a song. Just now. Like, late.

[Toby Roktot]

Hey Pig, I’m under the impression the ‘deadline’ is a suggestion...
However, I may be completely off target.
Anyways, gotta go...busy you know !!
Cya,
Tob

[sleepysilverdoor]

Yeah I imagine if there was an actual prize and fightmaster actually got paid then the deadlines would be more concrete. But...eh, I never mind the extra day or two!

[Pigfarmer Jr]

Hey Pig

They call me MR. PIG! (You can be a big pig, too. OI!)

.... then the deadlines would be more concrete.

Sam has said that it's actually an important part of SF history... that the deadline is fluid and in no case concrete. That being said, I bank on it more often than I should.

In this case I was making more of a note about rushed song submissions rather than an admission of guilt. I was planning on skirmishing it last night but ended up spending a lot more time on it than planned. Not that you'd know from listening.
In other words, if not for the extra day I wouldn't have had a song in. I've been in a funk.
