Renesongs · 2012-02-25T16:45:22+00:00

Here are the Entries for the Western Challenge. To avoid the situation of having only one choice in a category I have done away with them for this challenge. Everybody has two votes to use however you like. Voting ends on 29th of February. [quote author=Tamla Kahn 'Hammeron' McMahon link=action=profile;u=3309 date=1329309289] Hi. Here is my challenge entry: Ok, i wrote this a few weeks back. It's me on my [ sub-standard :D ] Ritmeuller acoustic miced into the desk. There is some backing from me on the Epi Explorer thru a Cube 60. [ First time I ever double tracked anything! ] We left the doors open and my brother smacked a tambourine. Oh.....incorporating one agitated Western Diamondback Rattlesnake! http://www.box.com/s/mp3k66ke81u52d2n2dm9 [/quote] [quote author=deefstes link=action=profile;u=2979 date=1329819579] Hi ,Here is my Intermediate entry for this month's challenge. This time I've actually borrowed a mic and added some vocals. Below are the lyrics in case anyone is interested. http://www.box.com/s/0bfo2eeai4gc0bdgoob9 [u][b]Noon In Los Hovos[/b][/u] It was a scorching day in Los Hovos The sun taking dead aim on the town Windows were closed and the shutters drawn The townsfolk knew what was going down Fixing his gaze down the main road He was a stranger to this land Friendless in this godforsaken place That he don't understand Noon would be the hour And the hour was drawing near When he'd face this man, Peppito Whom the townsfolk seemed to revere if(window.hljsLoader && !document.currentScript.parentNode.hasAttribute('data-s9e-livepreview-onupdate')) { window.hljsLoader.highlightBlocks(document.currentScript.parentNode); } But everybody knew Peppito He was lightning fast with a gun His six shooter shoots six bullets But he usually needs only one It was a good day for a duel And this stranger couldn't leave too soon He'd been strutting on Peppito's turf But that would all change at noon Noon would be the hour And the hour was drawing near When he'd face this man, Peppito Whom the townsfolk seemed to revere if(window.hljsLoader && !document.currentScript.parentNode.hasAttribute('data-s9e-livepreview-onupdate')) { window.hljsLoader.highlightBlocks(document.currentScript.parentNode); } Since he'd been a boy, he had been paying his dues Carrying buckets of water up the hill He had been waxing on, he had been waxing off Diligently honing his skill The Katana was his only friend Which he was ready to wield again Many others had fallen at his blade And today would be simply the same Noon would be the hour And the hour was drawing near When he'd face this man, Peppito Whom the townsfolk seemed to revere if(window.hljsLoader && !document.currentScript.parentNode.hasAttribute('data-s9e-livepreview-onupdate')) { window.hljsLoader.highlightBlocks(document.currentScript.parentNode); } Cautious eyes peeking through the shutters As the combatants stood ready for the bout When the clock tower signalled the hour A single shot rang out The stranger slumped where he stood His abandoned sword catching the sunlight And Peppito spoke "Mi Amigo you drew a knife in a gunfight" [/quote] [quote author=Highway Chile link=action=profile;u=3960 date=1330070132] Here is mine. Very last minute.......it is what it is. :P http://www.box.com/s/c440mekez47s9ocb8to2 Once again and as always I entered under Expert.

Extremely solid entries and efforts Deefstes, Tamla and V8. V8 I think you could have had more votes but such is life. Your track was excellent and even though you did not pull winning votes, you got solid comments on how great it sounded. Flamenco/Spanish style guitar is very difficult to master and you probably would kick most of our asses in this respect. Mine for sure.

Tamla...... way to come from behind and bring it. Excellent entry. It is great that you participate in these so much, you have a good drive.

Same with you Deef. Plus, you jumped out ahead and consistently crept up. Super entry, loved the lyrics/spoken word. The "race" between the two of you was a blast, watching the votes go up.

It was great participating in the Challenge with all you guys. I felt I had a decent entry I was mostly happy with, but when voting opened and I heard all your entries, I did not think I would take it overall.

Thank you to all who voted for me. I appreciate it.

Sweet work you guys!

mity88

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME entries you guys and gal!!!!
i woulda voted for all of you!!!

This was a good Comp and all the entries were good and different, that's why it was so difficult to choose a winner.

well done Highway ? Good production and creativity (But so was everyone else's entries)

Hats off to the effort that you all put in, makes me feel a bit of a lazy so and so for not entering :-[

V8

Highway Chile wrote V8 I think you could have had more votes but such is life.

Ahhh well, surprised to get two votes even :? - I had a good idea, but (imho) executed it poorly. Compared to the all other entries, the production (and producer - lol) was MIA!

Highway Chile wrote Same with you Deef. Plus, you jumped out ahead and consistently crept up. Super entry, loved the lyrics/spoken word. The "race" between the two of you was a blast, watching the votes go up.

+1 - I was hoping Deef would get to choose the next topic, thought he deserved the oppourtunity - especially cheerleading HWC and V8 into action!

Thanks ladies & gents - take care till the next one

Hammeron

Rene, well done on the new format.
Not being able to see the vote progression until you have voted is great.
And doing away with the BIA, in my opinion is cool in that it allows everyone to compete with each other regardless. ?

Highway-Chile

So where's the new challenge then. Am I supposed to be picking that?

Renesongs

Eish sorry guys I've been away the weekend and Have totally forgot about the challenge :-[ - HC you get to pick the next topic AGAIN but you usually pick good ones so PM your thoughts to me as soon as you able.

Highway-Chile

Okay Rene, I will PM you tonight my time. You'll be sleeping so it will be waiting for you when you awake.

Highway-Chile

PM sent.
