[Chicken Run]

Groovy

And might I ask how one kills a chicken during a soccer game?

SimPelyRocks responds:

Well, there were no wires in the goal. So I made a point, but didn't realise on that moment that the ball went straight towards the chicken's head. And because the chicken had been hiding in the bushes, I only realised what I did when I took the ball from the bushes. Too late, her neck was broken. No reanimation possible. XD

[(E7)NGHH Competition Freestyle]

VARY NICE!

Loved the spike lee reference lol

GloineFiodh responds:

haha glad u like it. i love this beat man, glad you didn't mind my using it. I figured you wouldn't since you posted it in the thread.

[Game Over Guitar Theme]

Well, I liked it....

To each his own I guess....Anyway I think this is a good example of a game over loop if I ever heard it. Just enough sadness to make you feel bad for losing but then it gives you that brief glimmer of hope that makes you think, "Gee, maybe I SHOULD continue!"

sarias responds:

YAY you hit it on the nail perfectly :)

[Slum Tourist]

Great Song, Love the Lyrics

WTF is useYOURname talking about? Sure this isn't a "traditional" country song...if there is such a thing. I mean if you look at the progression of country music from the turn of the century to the present day, you'll find that it never retained any true form but was constantly changing. Johnny Cash anyone? Now there was a guy who changed the genre! Anyway, in my opinion, country music should be categorized as country music because of its subject matter. This song in particular touches on one of the most common issues of country music, having money and lacking money.

TheMaskedJew responds:

Thanks man. I think useYOURname has one too many chromosomes.

[Sick of the Lies Acapella]

I've never been a fan

of autotune despite how many careers it has started and sustained. I remember watching a documentary that showed how easy it was to take a model without an ounce of musical talent and make it look like she could sing...very disturbing in my opinion. But I will give you points for knowing how to harmonize and applying it to this song. Any chance you could do the whole thing?

kingdomofposeidon responds:

Yeah, you're totally right about Autotune. When I record regular songs I don't ever use it, but for this I wanted a really polished sound. Also it would be extremely difficult to make everything exactly perfect in a six-part harmony. Also, this thing was mostly made for fun, the original is like pop-punk (I'll probably post it on here at some point).

[The King [7000]]

It just goes to show you....

That anyone can sample, but not everyone can sample well. I think this piece serves as an example of how to take divergent samples and give them cohesion. I've dabbled in the art, and I can say from personal experience that it is no simple task.

Sirhc7000 responds:

Hey thanks a lot man. That really means a lot.

...and you're right, sampling isn't easy especially if u wanna do it right. Ppl that do it right, IMO, are of course J Dilla, Lotus, 9th Wonder, and other artists. Check em out!

[Walking Blues (RobertJohnson)]

Fantastic Cover

Nice work gents!

BloodFest responds:

Thanks for listening!

[{R094L} - Swinger]

Don't listen to the guy below

This is good stuf.

Ryan094 responds:

Why thank you. Yeah the guy below me is a jerk!

[.Stetlo.:~ Blues]

I agree with Boux

Always nice to hear live instruments on the NG portal :)

Stetlo responds:

Cheers, sorry I responded late.

[~A Knight's Hymn~]

THANK YOU

I salute you sir, for bringing to an end all the recitations of a pointless and dogmatic ritual designed to create an unjustified air of superiority and paranoia. Keep up this kind of work and you could run this country one day.

PowPowSamurai responds:
