Damn...

...shouldn't have gotten extra cilantro

Labels

Going through the almost 150 submissions I've gotten for singers (not counting the ones that were so unarguably bad that they were deleted right after I finished scratching my head in disbelief), I thought I'd share the labels I've got going to keep track of the submissions:

- Deathy
- Eh...Didn't Hate It
- Good "Singers"
- Good Heavy Voice
- Good Heavy/Sing
- Good/Bad
- GREAT Singing Voice (sadly, there have been only one of these)
- Greg Moog (if you're in the know, you'll see why this is kinda amusing)
- Heavy
- Hell No
- I Like This Guy A Lot
- I Like This Guy Too
- Industrial!
- Interesting
- Kinda Like This Guy
- Malleable?
- Nope
- Not Metal
- Probably Not
- Sing-y
- Sounds Interesting
- Wha???????

The good news is that we have locked onto one guy in particular. He's got 10 of the demos as of this writing, and the first thing he sent back was basically right on the money. He's also got an interesting pedigree, both musically and personally. And let me tell ya, after receiving golden turkey submissions like "The Badly Recorded And Even Worse Performance YouTube Karaoke Video Featuring 'Bodies' By Drowning Pool", I was starting to get sort of worried.

So, yeah, I'm pretty stoked. It's nice to give someone a song, and a few days later hear vocals on it. It's been so long, I almost forgot what that sense of teamwork and completion felt like. I'll be honest though...it's kind of a bummer every time I change the MP3 tags to "**Formerly AHC".

Eh...it'll pass.
