Seems like it should be an anagram of something.

song titles

Post by MC Eric B »

This is my first week where there are multiple song titles. Just to clarify, is there any reason not to do the "Let It All Out" title, since I like that better than "Evil April"? Or, is Evil April preferred because that is the main title.

It's the only title, the optional challenge is up to interpretation on how you will perform this week's title.

Oh, I totally misunderstood. So let it all out would mean to make Evil April a wild hard rocking song for example, as opposed to a slow poetic ballad, right?

Interesting title. I've been ruminating lately on the idea that the month of April (most specifically, my birthday and the days around it) seems to be a time of annual bad events. I don't know if I can put it to music, though. Plus, my cousin April might think I was writing a diss about her.

Optional challenges are intentionally vague so that you can interpret the challenge in your own way.

That's one interpretation. You might also try letting all the kidnapped Catholic school girls out of your basement before you record the song.

And, of course, as an optional challenge, it is optional. (And challenging!)

Or if that is too difficult, a Casio.

I like this title. I'm (almost) positive this is the time for a Rone comeback. You can (almost) count on it! :D

I will not be taking part. But of course, you know that already.

I was wondering where the Casio thread went.

HaHaHa!! Poor Casio, they get trashed on. No pun intended unless you want it to be intended, then I say, intend away.

Okay, now that our entire family is done ping-ponging sinus, lung and ear infections back and forth...

I'm going to try something new this time around, and boldly declare that I will NOT be in this fight. Hopefully this will result in me suddenly finding plenty of time to write and record.

No, thank you. Have you got anything that involves real musical instruments, or singing? That would be better, I think.
