The SHRMB song sucks dead dogs balls by cam (4.00 / 1) #1 Sat Jul 28, 2007 at 06:36:41 PM EST

Vote it -1. I was going to replace it with another song but didnt get around to it.

Evil Herring does much better fuzz pop than the shmrb entry.

YY's is awesome. Love Herring's piano and cello work. TPDs reminds me of the Blakes 7 theme. When I become the futurama satan I am stealing blixcos vocal chords.

Hey! by yicky yacky (4.00 / 1) #2 Sun Jul 29, 2007 at 03:01:56 PM EST

Don't do yourself down. I really liked this FC's SHMRB outing (and it'll definitely be getting a vote from me, as soon as I figure out who else to vote for). It reminded me of the indie-rock offerings of the early '90s, which I've got a completely subjective soft spot for. I liked the exact levels of fuzziness on the guitars; thought they were "just right". Good stuff.

Cam's work is always great, but this track is really very good.

Ze votes for the republic of TPDia are as follows by TPD (2.00 / 0) #3 Tue Jul 31, 2007 at 04:52:49 AM EST

Evil Herring - Douze point
Cam - Dix point
Blixco - Ouit point

Cam's guitar work and arrangement skills have become sickeningly good, those little mini solos are delivered with such style and confidence, and fit perfectly with the song - I just wish they were longer! However the fact I can't stop singing whore means it's probably my top pick.

Separating the other 3 entries was really difficult as I really liked them all, but in the end (as so often is the case) that voice was just too great not to vote for!

'Scuse me while I growl. by blixco (2.00 / 0) #5 Tue Jul 31, 2007 at 01:41:39 PM EST

Good lord. I'd forgotten that track, I really had. It's a meandering mess, but it was fun to record.

I loved Cam's and Herring's tracks. Herring's sounds like it needs a Waits vocal, and maybe some sort of theremin backing.

Overall I had a very tough time deciding on three, so I didn't.

If only I hadn't given up smoking, that track would've been great. Well, apart from the lyrics and music.

Ookay, tough choices. by ana (4.00 / 1) #7 Tue Jul 31, 2007 at 06:00:00 PM EST

I ended up voting for blixco and cam. I'd really like to encourage Herring to keep working on this kind of thing; there's really some promise there.

But this tune of cam's is ideal fuzzpop. It just doesn't get any better than this.

And those words were begging for a blixco tune just like the one we got.

Cedar Park Librarian - Douze point
    Magnifique
Whore - Huit points
    Would be more if Pinky and Perky weren't singing. (Ask misslake to do vocals maybe?)
Cam - Sept points
   I liked it more than the points show, but a bit too similar to previous work.
Yicky Yacky - Six points
TPD - Cinq Points
   Found a bit too repetitive. Maybe absence of vocals heighted that feeling.
Herring - Trois points
    Plsfixvocalskthx. :-)
Me - nil points
    Could try entering :-)

Absence of vocals by TPD (4.00 / 1) #9 Wed Aug 01, 2007 at 09:13:05 AM EST

maybe you should have tried listening a bit further. (vocals kick in at 1:29)

I do think it takes WAY too long to get going though I was going to fix it and then I just couldn't be bothered ;)

if it feels too repetitive after the 1st minute (and it does) - the entry deserves a good kicking anyhow :)

I was not going to find by Herring (2.00 / 0) #15 Fri Aug 03, 2007 at 03:56:42 PM EST

anyone to sing those lyrics. I had to get myself pretty drunk before I could talk myself into it. Even then I couldn't bring myself to use the whole content of the original ad.

That's good by bob6 (4.00 / 1) #12 Thu Aug 02, 2007 at 02:50:31 AM EST

Entered my vote: Blixco (+1 librarians) and yicky yacky (+1 fun to hear).

Hey, I was not paying attention when that was addressed: what's the status of this music? I suppose you guys wouldn't mind if I spread the files around.

Cheers.

I don't mind. by blixco (2.00 / 0) #13 Thu Aug 02, 2007 at 04:03:32 AM EST

Mine is free.

I don't think by yicky yacky (4.00 / 1) #14 Thu Aug 02, 2007 at 04:43:20 PM EST

it's ever really been addressed; we've all been studiously avoiding it on the basis that, "It's HuSi; fuck it ...".

As I understand it, the law implicitly guards copyright, so I'm not sure that uploading them to HuSi MFCs implies anything except that everyone's happy for them to be acquired from 256's server by anyone who wants to download them.

Personally, I'm completely happy for anyone to download and pass around my MFC stuff provided it's all kept costless and "in the spirit of" the MFCs. If you wanted a strict legal position, I could probably find an open licence to suit, but if the above suffices, then that's fine.

: I believe we agreed an by Breaker (4.00 / 2) #18 Mon Aug 06, 2007 at 03:31:57 PM EST

"Unshaven chin licence" which is largely, keep performer's names on the files, and don't try and make any money off it without talking to the MFC entry's owner.
