Complain about your schedule. Apparently people like that sort of thing.

I'm not sure why some people are talking about tomorrow already.

I didn't submit a "So Weird": no time. But the wife is on a trip next week so maybe, just maybe...

Question of the Day: What's your favorite SongFight! entry you never actually recorded/submitted?

Submitted, but didn't get an email confirmation from the fightmaster like I did last time I submitted a song. Since I'm still kinda new to this, should I worry about not getting the confirmation?

Gonna see the Simpsons movie with my wife tonight--It's been over a year since we went to the movies, looking forward to it.

QotD: Since I've only been around for a month and a half, I've only attempted a few songs that didn't make it, but I had a really catchy guitar riff for Ottoman, so I'll have to go with that one.

When I saw there was already a 7/28 thread my schedule flashed before my eyes in a horrifying instant. I'm okay now. :)

Off to Hampton Beach tonight to play at the Boardwalk Cafe. Whee!

QotD: The 'Applesauce Baptism' fight was posted well after the deadline, and in that interim I had nothing going on, so I wrote and submitted a song. It was not entered in to the fight. I like how it came out, though.

Back to the past....

QotD:
"I wish I was so sure". I wrote it but never entered it. But it ended up being one of my favorites and it became a part of my set at Songfight Wayne.

Whereas I appreciate the irony of that reply, I would like to put my paranoid neuroticism to rest...

The fun of live recordings. To the best of my knowledge, no one was injured during the recording of this performance
i dig this song.
Thank you.

Yes. I'll send them to you over the weekend. :)

My favorite is "Welcome to _____." I like it because it's weird but also has a strong chorus. I also like that it has ukulele but doesn't feel peppy and annoying like when ukulele fanatics play it. I hate the ukulele genre of music. Those people can shove their retro bullshit up their vintage asshole.

I'm in a bad mood today. :evil:

qotd: My track <a href="http://glitterandtwang.org/songs/files/ ... lerator</a>, I thought, had a lot of promise. I was trying to be Bob Dylan, kind of.
