I instantly got a head movie of a neon sign on a diner above the door that is sort of buzzing and getting power surges so the light kind of dims then gets bright with a crackle. It's early morning around 3:00am and no one is around. It's kind of drizzling out but not enough for an umbrella. I hear footsteps in the distance kind of reverberating off the walls of the diner. I don't see anyone, but the footsteps are most definitely getting closer. I'll just go into the diner. Damn, the the door is locked, they're closed! The footsteps stopped. This would be a good thing in most situations except one problem. They stopped right behind me!

After Hours. In a theater near you.

If you close
the door
the night could last forever.........

reminds me of playing cards till 5am after closing the bar...

Damn, damn, damn - a great title and a deadline of this Friday!?! Ish, bish and tish.

ooh -- good one.
Game on!

I like the title alot. Maybe it's time for a comeback. I'd have to get rid of this cold before Friday morning though.

You are not helping Glenny

Since it's already scrolling off the "latest posts" lists, I'll just mention that I put up a lyric at http://songfight.net/forums/viewtopic.p ... 88#p156288

Not the most clever thing I've ever written, but since we have a very close deadline this week, maybe somebody will find it useful.

Confession: for various reasons, I'm not able to do much recording right now, so I'm hoping that somebody(s) will pick up my lyrics to help me add to the "songs written" count by musicifying this.

I think I have another one of my "featuring" cover art pieces for this week, though.

I'll be returning, perhaps under a new name. I think it's time to put the sober irishman to rest.

1. SF comes up with names
2. Run a poll
3. ????
4. profit!

I don't think I'll have time for this title even though I like it a lot. But if anyone needs any back up vocals or guitar, shoot me what you've got by Thursday.

yea I'm guna miss out on this one as well, running drastically short of time, and realised last night that I left my cans elsewhere and won't be able to get them until to tomorrow. ah well.

I'm in - but not sure how I feel about sending off a file called "rossdurand_ah"

If the title is ever "Wonderful And Necessary Knowledge Everyone Requires" - I will refuse to enter.

I'm technologically slow...
I'm in for After Hours (under Oddments)...however when I went to send through my email, it did get sent, but also told me it didn't and was saved as a draft, and a copy of the email was there...should I resend, or just let fate run its course?

It can't hurt you to resend it. It will just overwrite the original file if it was sent correctly.

Cool...resent, and of course got the automatic message as it was resending! Thank you!

It does not appear to have been received..yet. (I wrote this before you resent - checking again)

EDIT - OK GOT IT ON THE SECOND TRY.

Awesome...thanks for the help!

Had the song written Monday, didn't get around to recording it til today. 3 1/2 hours, not a bad turnaround. I'm not sure about the switch back to Acid. Maybe I'll try a reinstall of Cubase and give it another chance to act right.

For those interested, I think I have found my genre. Texas Country feels really good.

Sockpuppet is in with another stupid last-minute entry.
