Okay, I need an opinion on this. https://soundcloud.com/danwarren/everythings-exploding-monkees-casette-mix I was thinking the cassette-style filter for that authentic vintage Monkees sound. Too much?

Sitting this one out because a) I'm doing February Album Writing Month and b) "Funeralopolis" is loving epic and there's no way to improve on the original, what the hell was I thinking choosing it

I'm right where I always am at this point in the contest...endlessly loving around with the vocals, trying to make them not sound like utter poo poo.

Thanks for listening! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Regarding the snare: It does seem a bit ostentatious in the mix, particularly compared to the other drums. A cut to the highs and track volume might do it. Maybe a tweak to the drum bus compression. I want to fix it, but I'm terrified it will be a gateway tweak that will lead to other tweaks.

When is the final deadline? I've got an idea on a folk-y rendition of CRUSH KILL DESTROY by Gwar, but I have almost no free time. e: my reading comprehension is trash. I'm still going to try to record it, maybe the thread won't be archived by the time I get around to doing it. Fastball LIVE in concert fucked around with this message at 09:34 on Feb 16, 2016 |

NOT THAT I'LL WIN, but, my suggestion for this next round is going to be artists who have died in the past sixty days. Because goddamn there's a lot of them. And, definitely calling Nasty Girl by Vanity 6 if that idea is chosen.

I went ahead and posted my acceptance speech. That'll guarantee some backlash votes against me to break the tie. But anyhooze, I'm fine conceding the win to NH for that awesome cover.

magnificent7 posted:See? It worked. Yes and no. I'd been following this thread because I enjoyed the last GBS contest but hadn't been paying too close attention, then when you posted that I thought I'd take a look. I was going to vote for yours since overall I like it better but decided to give them a second listen since nh gets points for doing a cover that differentiates more from the original and the line "you try to take its pulse before the head explodes" made me laugh so hard that I had to vote for him. So yeah unless there's more votes, it means that post of yours decided things by getting me to pay attention, even if I didn't follow your reverse psychology.

Sorry, guys. I've just come off a long weekend and have fallen off the map a little. I like mag7's idea of recent artist deaths. Deaths in the last two months, sixty days, in 2016. Something along those lines. Does anyone think this is too restrictive or have any more ideas? All the ideas? What are all the ideas?

Regarding 2016, I found one here. It's really not much to choose from. If you go back 60 days, you pulled Lemmy from Motorhead into the mix. However, if you look at 2015, there is a much wider variety, from STP to Sharon, Lois, and Bram. Have we done a Rockstar with a theme about or referring to the devil?

Sooooo, that would mean commit and record and no extensions, but on the plus side, maybe the poll would get more than 50 votes. Holy poo poo there's a lot of irish bands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Irish_musical_groups

Alright, I'm fine with that. While I'd love to have Rockstar 66: 6, I'm also okay with Rockstar LXVI: Gettin' Jiggy Wit It, Me Boyo. Should the deadline be on St. Patrick's Day? Is everyone okay with what's happening? What is going on, guys?
