Allan and I are looking forward to Song Fu #6. Should be a fun time.

I hope thats not true… i mean at least Me and Jerry had a Master last Fu…..but still.

I mean if they really need a master me and jerry wouldn’t mind defending the “win” from last round.

“A Gift from Godz Poodlz” remains a FREE download at http://godzpoodlz.bandcamp.com

Plus, if Godz Poodlz has 100 fans on our facebook fan page by 02/10/2010, we will make the entire album a free download the week of Valentines Day! And we are taking suggestions for what the next Godz Poodlz Song should be about (kind of like a personal Song Fu challenge), we will write and record that NEW Godz Poodlz Song by Valentines Day as well!

VIVA LA FU!!!

-Two Shades

Who ELSE is out there??

🙂

Long live Song Fu!

Im sure most people following this know the outcome already anyway, but, yeah, I’m waiting for *that page* to go up now!
;’ )

.

Yet . . .

Two Snyde-casts. One “Bit Of A Chat.” A Shopping Guide, a “Contest Round-Up,” and a “TV or Not TV.” A “Bagged and Boarded.” A bit of art from Paul Dini…

And not so much as a WORD about Song Fu?

Not even a note on the top of the LAST Song Fu page, saying, “Gosh, guys — sorry. Life is crazy with this server switch-over. Look for the Master round to go up next ‘Feezle Day’…”? Or even an explanatory e-mail to the winning challenger?

These inexplicable, sustained “breaks in the action” comprise the one thing that has driven me crazy about Song Fu. Voting issues may have been irksome, but I’ve never really been in this for the votes to begin with. Some of the more acerbic comments that people have left (Song Fu #4, anyone?) have been discouraging, but they ultimately don’t really matter so much. But keeping people on the string like this without any word or explanation is SOOOOOOO irritating and nerve-wracking. Whether it’s waiting (day after day after day … after day) for your song to be posted so you can get feedback on it and hear the rest of the submissions, or whether it’s waiting to see if Song Fu will even EXIST any more, or whether it’s waiting to see who the Master will be — or whether it’s answering your friends and family, “No, it’s STILL not up yet. I know I told you that I thought that the voting would start up last Tuesday, but…” — it’s a really disillusioning part of the whole Song Fu experience.

I’m sure Joe is about going out of his mind…

Edric Haldeen – ‘The Night Before’
I liked this the first play. It set a nice mood and told a sparse story that allowed listeners to fill in the silence…

Godz Poodlz – ‘ A Gift from Godz Poodlz’
Happy. Totally Crass and Commercial. Loved it. Got my vote. Repeating the URL in the chorus was a great idea.

Manticess – “After I Have Gone”
Very pretty tune.

Jalapeno Habaneros – “Rudolph The Red”
Good lyrics, but it was tough to hear and understand them.

Jubilee Jews – “(All Because I’m) Not With My Heart”
Almost a Neil Young vocal vibe going on there…

Peter Benedict – “Lament”
‘I don’t wanna think how long it took to write that one’

Josh Holober-Ward – “Snow Day”
Principal Timmy and the concept the adults on a Snow day acting like the kids they’re in charge of was great. Almost had my vote

Joe Covenant Lamb – “Ghoul Tide”
I wasn’t sure where it was headed in the first verse, which made the resolution
that much funnier. One of my favorites and got my vote.

Lex Vader – “Ewoks”
Star Wars, Angry Ewoks, and a good story line. The key change was an unexpected surprise. Well Done. Got my vote.

Caleb Hines – “Finals Week”
Solid song. Nice touch with the acapella in the last verse

Zer0guy – “Let It Snow, Like We Have a Choice”
Interesting use of fx and EQ to get the ‘roaring 20’s’ sound. The downside was I had a hard time making out the lyrics.

Jonathan Mann – “Jesus Christ At Christmas Time”
I got into the Dylan Protest vibe from the secular point of view. I knew the harmonica would come in there somewhere in there.

Sara Parsons – “Dead Week (A Song About Failure)”
I could relate to the writer’s block, and smiled at the 2nd verse not actually being there. Liked the off key last note.

Chas Lilly – “Salvation Army”
This one surprised me – told a compelling story, and had a good hook you couldn’t help sing along to. Got my vote.

Kylie Petto – “Snow Drift”
I liked the inventive narrative. Using the phone to call for help while singing was a great idea.

Alex Taylor – “Dear Santa”
Reading a letter to Santa – good idea. Nice guitar, but the vocals needed a little more presence in the mix to be understandable.

Simmbiosis – “Holy Daze”
Quite the sonic bombastic arrangement. I tried, but just couldn’t get through it all.

Denise Hudson – “Mistakes Were Made”
Tom Waits meets ice skating. Eerie piece. I checked out Denise’s blog and totally missed the national anthem references.

Steve Chatterton – “My Epic Battle With Gravity”
Felt a Paul Simon vibe to it. Well done.

Gorbzilla – “Festivus! (For The Rest Of Us)”
I was expecting a bad Miller Lite commercial at first, but the story had me laughing, and the chorus forced me to sing along. Got my vote.

Craig Richie – “The Christmas Beers”
Loudon Wainwright III at his best. Good story trying to convince the 7-11 guy to sell you beer.

Spencer Sokol – “Unfinished”
Good story.

Ian “Two Shades” Johnson – “Paulie the Black Nosed Reindeer”
Nice parody. I did snicker at the punchline…

Mike Lombardo – The Elf’s Lament
Would have gotten my vote if not a shadow. Nice job on a bouncy song.

Congratulations, all. This round wasn’t easy to narrow down for voting. It does seem like many TMA members are on here now… or is it TMA is converting all the non-believers?

Tom

I disagree with sevinPackage- there are many jems this round. I was stuck in traffic for a few hours today, and had the chance to listen to them all in a closed quiet environment (If you don’t count the horn honks) Then I reread the lyrics here tonight, and caught a bunch of items I had missed at first.

I laughed out loud at several, and it’s going to be a hard choice this time.
I’ll post thoughts a review soon.

Unfortunately, this round was not as good as I anticipated. It may take a LONG time to get my reviews caught up, but they will be completed, so everyone can understand why (including myself).
