Heh, actually I graduated highschool a few months ago, I'm taking a year off and I don't have a job, so I have lots of time. But really with these things, I spend most of the time dicking around or not in the house, it's a pretty leisurely process actually, just because I don't second guess anything and things come easier when topics and genres are chosen for you.

Round three will be these challenges, then for the next rounds I think I will changes things up a bit...

"Basically, the Shaggs wrote sweet little songs about love, cars, and goofy nonsensical crap.  It was kinda like the beach boys, but written by 14 year old girls in the 60's.  The most challenging part for you would be the music, because it defies everything you've ever known about structure and melody.  They cannot play at all.  The guitarist usually plays one note per syllable, following the vocals, but not in any scale.  The vocals change notes every syllable.  The drummer is not able to keep time.  It has a haunting vibe to it that encourages lamenting of lost childhood/innocence to the listener.

Concept is something like you sold all your belongings and took a roadtrip across Europe in order to fulfill your goal of finding the best cup of coffee. Could be instrumental or not! (if it does have vocals, I'd love to hear some harmonies in this style: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31kTjszwaDc )

Alt country, epic story-telling track, game boy, some kind recorder (wooden wind instrument, to be clear), guitar and lyrics about a woman who loves a man, but has to leave because he beats on her, or drinks, or has gone crazy from years of "working the land" and it is heaps sad and everything.

It must have eight verses, no chorus, but maybe some kind of repeated phrase at the end of each verse, so the recorder can really shine.

DID I MAKE ROUND THREE?
I ask because I think you could make this song fucking amazing.

Round 3 was postponed a few days, I started yesterday it's pretty much done now, but it's mostly not very good...something went wrong with it.  A couple of the songs are okay (10k's and low-gain's challenges in fact), but it was sort of a painful process, I think it was a bad idea to use old challenges.  I might upload the whole thing just for the sake of completeness, but I'm tempted to just put up those 2 songs.  I think I've just grown weary of this format of it...I'm going to take a break from this to record a "real" album, but I'll continue with these in some other way as soon as it's done.

Round 3 is finished, It's not as bad as I thought it was, still probably the worst of the three though.  enso: I tried to do what you challenged me, but it came out as some lame jazz fusion thing.  10k: I only did 4 verses because it would have ended up as atleast a 9 minute song if I had done 8 and I wasn't prepared to write so many lyrics...

Thanks, yeah, if you like that one, you'll probably like the others, I think they sort of descend in overall quality from 1-3.

Hmm, that's odd, all of the links work for me, does this happen for anyone else?
