MysticWicks endorsement: "I've always, always regarded the Discordians as being people who chose to be Discordians because they can't be arsed to actually do any work to develop a relationship with a specific deity, they were too wishy-washy to choose just one path, and they just want to be a mishmash of everything and not have to work at learning about rituals or traditions or any such thing as that."

I'm new to Discordianism, as in spent the past week absorbing it, I haven't gotten a chance to write a song influenced by discordianism, but I assure people I will.

My band is recording an EP later this month.  Some demos of songs that'll be on that album are found at:

They're all like different with my full band, so I'll be sure to post a topic that has the finished product once it's done.  Check out the song Adaptation.  I'm proud of it.

My voice is strange.  deal with it, or just turn it off or whatever floats your boat.   But I'm new to this forum so get back to me if you have nothing better to do.

Roaring Biscuit!

I listened to a few songs, I thought adaptation was pretty cool too.

I don't mind your voice (tis a little odd :wink: ) but just make sure (like in adaptation), when you do the higher bits you get the note spot on.  Practice and confidence  :)

Thanks for the advice.  I'm starting to actually think about melodies more and am practicing them.  but I used to have this view that vocal melodies distracted from the lyrics and wasn't really trying to hit any particular notes.

Yeh i totally know what you mean, it seems quite common in music that either the melody or the lyrics are dominant, certainly don't need to overdo it melody wise (e.g. Dylan, far from an amazing singer, but he got his points across pretty damned well)
