The Song Fight Bulletin Board

I, uh, unexpectedly moved last week. Going back to the old house today to get the last of my stuff. That includes large items like my piano, so hopefully you'll be hearing some new music from me, and soon. Lots of things are new in my life. New house, new job, new perspective, new plans, new goals.

Anyway. I've been listening a lot to MC Frontalot and Brad Sucks' "Livin' the Corner of Dude and Catastrophe," ever since the Frontalot concert last week (he didn't play it, but it's been stuck in my head all the same). I think that, over the years, that's grown to become my favorite Frontalot song. A few days ago, I went back to the archives to see what people said about it during the actual fight. They won the vote in a landslide (of course), but I was surprised to see that their reviews were unanimously tepid. I guess it's cool to act all unimpressed when someone's at the top of their game?

Question of the Day: Are there any songs in the archive that you think got worse reviews than they deserved?

I don't deserve any of my reviews. Someone listened to my song and now they are bothering to write about it. Thanks.

If the review was flat out wrong I usually moan about it to the trees and then go try to figure out if they have a point and I'm just being little miss pissy pants or if they were being dum-dums that time and I will nod and smile at them and go on doing precisely what I like.

The question wasn't just about one's own songs - have there been any songs by other people that you thought were flat-out amazing, but they got lukewarm or even bad reviews?

probably.

DRC: I haven't moved but I have gotten new furniture, finally replacing a bunch of the shit I've been holding onto for the past decade or so. Feels good.

Work also has me busy. I am now officially a tech lead and as such I've been spending a lot more time helping others rather than working on my own projects. But my own projects gotta get done, too, and I am both terrible at delegation and the only one on my team capable of doing some of them (which is why I'm a tech lead). Nice problem to have but I haven't had a lot of time to work on music or comics. Project Wonderful just threatened to delist my comic site due to low traffic. Bleh.

QOTD: I generally don't read reviews of other peoples' songs (I'm a terrible Song Fight citizen) and I'd say the reviews I've gotten on my own songs are generally fair.

Every Rone Rivendale song should have gotten better reviews.

There, I said it.

I think Spud should have gotten butter reviews.

Well, you were the only person who was gonna ...




Serious face QOTY: Every song I rave about that doesn't win ... specifically? Blue's 'Feathers' - yeah, relatively lousy vocal, but TUNE! That was the day I knew SFB and I would always have a delicious "hate/hate" relationship ...
