The Song Fight Bulletin Board

On you electric guitar, you’re a metal maniac, making your influences strongly be heard.
But yet you switch to an acoustic and is like you become some kind of sad lonely cowboy.
Talk about opposite ends.

That's interesting. I like the comparison, and it is definitely quite true.
On a side note, as much as I dislike the the product of yesterday's work, today I'm quite enjoying it. It's kind of a cool experience to have a bunch of crap instrumental music to listen to that's your own.

Whoops. Forgot to ask this - How long on average does it take for them to post your AAD on the site?

AAD/AAW and all that is a good idea. But the rules I don't dig so much. Too stifiling, too structured. In fact I can say I hate some of the rules.

I just finished up my seventh AAD. This one's called <a href="http://www.crushfeldspar.com/albums/mar ... ml">Hidden Powers of the Marshmallow Men</a>. I recorded it with my roommate. He wrote the song <i>Analyzing Faces</i>.

I like this album. I especially recommend the songs <i>Surviving the Sea Change</i>, <i>Ode to Marshmallows</i>, <i>I Floated Away</i>, and <i>The Secret of Life</i>.

I hope you all listen and enjoy!

Martyr reminded me I never posted my AAD from December, so here it is:


1. The First Kiss
2. Whatever it Takes
3. Smile for the Camera
4. Happiness is Easy
5. You and Me Make a Good Team
6. Love is Worth the Time it Takes to Find

Bonus track:
7. Appreciate - DEMO

copied and saved, killer.
You and Me Make a Good Team is my thing, but damn, Happiness is Easy just makes me rock. Nice work dude.

I have decided to try another AAD on Sunday 17 June. Anybody else want to give it a try? It could be SF-AAD-Day.

That's Father's Day. Don't know if I can pull off an AAD day on DAD day.

heh, didn't realize that... well, it's a day i'm on my own totally (at home) so i'm still gonna try it
i'll take a break to call my dad!
-bill

i.p. is pretty new here, but this challenge sounds epic. We'll do one soon.

i plan to do one this weekend. if i can't, i'll try again on the 17.

I'd like to do one this weekend too. I have a show tonight (Friday), but that's it. So maybe...

I'll keep you posted. Dre, please do the same.

i got a new 12 string and a new mandolin, i would like to record.
dont really want to do a guy&guitar AAD, but i'll try to come up with something this weekend.

That is like 20 strings on two instruments! Work it.

Right when I sat down to start on this, the band called to see if we could take a fill-in show. So instead of an AAD, I was playing at The Bad Moose last night. One of these days, though.

That's like two guitars!

Edit - Wha happen? My stupid response is now floating mysteriously?

Wow, you're fast. I deleted that in like 30 seconds - I thought I was in a different thread, so my post made no sense.

It wasn’t easy forcing my myself to record this weekend.
But at least I got this to show for; my 7th AAD, and first one of the year.
Wanted to have a coherent album, instead got a bit of randomness. Oh well.

The last track is for Ken. some late night mandolin wanking.

I'm working on my AAD now. I have two tracks, one 4:20 and one... not completed... that is about two minutes. This is challenging, as I recall
-bill

Keep going, Bill! It's always worth it to do an AAD.

OH! And there's now a MySpace for my EP-a-day from early last year...

<a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu ... 403">Billy Groaner - Pronouns</a>

I do have over 20 mins of 5 tracks... two of them are instrumental improvs, though, and I still haven't done a Songfight track. I may or may not be able to do that.
Anyway, thanks!
-bill

Well, I didn't end up doing a Songfight track... I ran out of steam on recording stuff so I stopped after that 5th track. In case anybody wants to use my idea, I'll tell ya what it is in private

But more importantly, if you want to hear my new album, "A Flash in the Pan", <a href="http://www.heuristicsinc.com/aad-flash/">click here</a>.
