The Song Fight Bulletin Board

DRC: I'm in a hell of a mood today....so I need to turn it around. It's dance party day. I'm playing an incredibly large amount of electronica, hip-hop, techno and mash-up today. My office will sound like a club.

QotD: Any suggestions to add to my "dance party" playlist. (mp3 links if ya got 'em)

QotD: The System Is Down

QotD: Hell no.

DRC: bleh, another day, another dollar..yadda yadda. Listening to Gillian Welch though, its nice and peaceful where I sit.

QOTD: Frankie goes to Hollywood and some New Order.


Man. I think someone hacked my songfight profile last night and posted a novel or something in the review thread.

We are on the same wavelength. Earlier today I played both of those groups.

Camouflage (the band, not the Stan Ridgway song).
Pop Will Eat Itself.
Sugarcubes!!!

qotd: The Bird and the Bee - Polite Dance Song

drc: In my head I can't stop designing LifePing. Since we've been fixated on that issue a lot lately around here. I think I should be able to get something functional this weekend. The design is actually pretty simple. I think.

So far it has included: D-Mob f/ Cathy Dennis, Aggro1, The Prodigy, Young Jeezy f/ Kanye West, Crystal Method & Filter, Neneh Cherry, Little Jackie, New Order, Go Home Productions, Divide & Kreate, Blaqk Audio, Punjabi MC f/ Jay-Z, Lily Allen, Stefy, Apollo Zero, Wax Audio. DJ Earworm, Yeah Yeah Yeahs (as remixed by Diplo), Electronic, ToTom, Lady GaGa, The Ting Tings, Norwegian Recycling, MC Frontalot, The Illuminoids, Santogold and Orbital.

QOTD: Morris Day and the motherf**king Time Or maybe a little KC and the motherf**king Sunshine Band

I'm all over that one. "Jerk Out" is getting played next (as I look for my f**king Sugarcubes...)

I promise you that if you play Jungle Love, all the white women in the office will be looking at you with bedroom eyes. That shit is the mad notes. Written by God herself and handed down to the greatest band in the world, the motherf**king Time.

"Christmas in Hollis" - Run DMC

Blondie - Heart of Glass

Happy Birthday, John Lennon.

No Heuristics Inc. ?
Maybe try:
Subsonica - "Discolabirinto"
Energy 52 - "Cafe del Mar"
Blue Man Group - "I Feel Love"
Brad Sucks - "Making Me Nervous"
The Creeping Foam - "A Walk in the Park"
I had been thinking of putting together some sort of curated dance mix, but I haven't gotten around to that.

And time. My work day is over. That was an odd experience.

New QotD: Is there a genre of music you'd like to try out making, but haven't?

Would you like to try and make a swing song? Maybe you would like to rap? Maybe you would wanna do some thrash?

I would love to pull of a tune where the vocals actually sounded ... right... that pop-almost nickelback but not sound.


Like Des. Wouldn't it be cool to be able to sound like Des vocally? If you saw the guy you'd wonder where the fuck that voice comes from. I think it's the beer, but I forgot his brand and thus I just won't sound like him.


but yeah, that would be nice, to have that rich, sweet sound. I'd like to do that!


But I'll settle for weird hard-rock metal tunes with quirky vocals. Sigh.

Try using a chorus effect? Or just double-track the vocals (it worked for Kurt Cobain).

Try not singing like a twat.
