    Chateau Melanson is open Saturday afternoon & evening, sir. And you can bring the kids if you have to...we can hit them with the sleepy stick (spare room upstairs for them).
  • Dennis Jernberg 9 hours ago
    "Going Rouge" and "Whip It"? Sounds like a mashup in the making. wink

    Chris DeBurgh? I haven't heard him in eons! You probably need more coffee. wink
  •  cts 16 hours ago
    Errol, (in my best Sha'naynay voice) "You so craaaazy."
  • Emma 1 day ago
    Realized there isn't even one post on here from me! I think I was bumped off the page. tongue Can't be having that, I need to bug you to find time to write more songs.

    Consider yourself officially bugged. big_smile
  • negasi 1 day ago
    You are my hero lol.
  • Dennis Jernberg 1 day ago
    Yep, I'm back up to my old tricks, and I've got some nifty new ones up my sleeve, as you're bound to hear. wink
  •  kermy 1 day ago
    Errol - you've been challenged! by Billy Sea - I've now hear the WHOLE thing!!!! I'mmmmmm waiiiiiiiiiting! big_smile

    thanks silly billy!
  •  Robyn Mackenzie 1 day ago
    Aww, hooray! smile I'll be listening.
  • Everett Cinaed 1 day ago
    Whoo! You listened!
    Err, anyway. Other than some kind of party track from some other era, with lots of grunting and James Brown sorts of inhuman vocalizations, I haven't been able to think of anything to do with it. Of course, you mention singing, and this is anything but. I dunno... can Errol be a chromatic James Brown for two minutes?
    The thought's a little scary.
  • lgilbert 1 day ago
    Yeah, we "met," as you said. smile

    Thanks for the um, comment...I think....lol. J/K, LMAO at that one. smile I wasn't so much picturing knitting needles when you asked that question as much as an old lady carrying a brick around in her purse for protection. I mean come on, she IS old. wink I guess she just forgot that she was "attacked" by her nephew...lol. Yeah, the song was kind of morbid, but it was for a challenge, and that was how it come through my head. I am just sick in that way. wink I, like you said, found it interesting how it spiraled out from such a simplistic event to his eventual death. Cool, but sick at the same time...lol. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read my lyrics and commenting on them. I am about to go listen to your third post right now, myself.

    Later!
  •  songsville 1 day ago
    Pret a Manger is a chain of classy sandwich shops and Sainsburys is a supermarket. I normally don't have such Anglo-specific words but hey it's fawm so quirky is de rigeur as I am discovering smile
    Thanks for your grate comments sorry great ha ha
  •  Robyn Mackenzie 2 days ago
    To address your comment in some sort of order:

    I stalk you too, so we're pretty even. tongue

    I'll be 20 on the 17th. Not insulted.

    Thanks!

    And yes, I will play violin on the collab. big_smile
  • Whispered Candles 2 days ago
    I'm bored and I'm running on 2 hours of sleep. What else am I supposed to do?

    By the way, I've never heard the power puff cd either.
  • Whispered Candles 2 days ago
    LOL

    I thought I would die laughing reading your comments.

    In response to the collab I did... I was going to correct his typos, but by the time I posted the song I was tired and had forgotten. I suppose I could go back through and do that. I tend to correct his grammar and spelling errors and such on him often... he has nicknamed *me* a grammar nazi. big_smile

    The 3 part song: LOL I was half-improving when I came up with the names for things, and Morti and Plat's names came to me first for the dragons, and then I realized I'd only said a "you and me" so I didn't want to have a third dragon who would be lonely, and all awesome boats have names, so that's why I improved that in. haha And in that song I said I don't hate Morti and Plat because they are sea dragons and sea dragons are awesome, I don't hate the "you" person mentioned because apparently it is a figment of my imagination (I love my ability to improv), and I don't hate the boat because the boat is awesome and not a person.
  • Nick 2 days ago
    I can do that. And don't worry, I'm lazy too. big_smile
  • Taylor Tay 2 days ago
    I think that the site I put the demo on was down a bit last night, but it should be back and working now! sorry!
  • Nick 2 days ago
    Alllooooo! Errol! Shall we get cracking on this collab? How would you like to go about making this happen?
  •  Helen 2 days ago
    Y'know, I'm kind of tempted to go back and add in the shoobidoo and huzzah... when I'm not so hungover.
  • Jeff C. 3 days ago
    -cters? -des? What are you running out of, Errol?
  •  Flo Paris 3 days ago
    Hey! Nice to meet you! Last year was my first year..."Floppy Pancakes" would make a great melodrama name...or a song title..ha!

  • Whispered Candles 3 days ago
    The songs where I use your name have been posted! big_smile

    Yes, you should stalk me more. That would be wonderful. big_smile

    stopping by to let you know fawm for me has finally begun....my lyrics are for the demo'ing!

    i hope to have more up this weekend! yeah! k
  •  The Cow Exchange 3 days ago
    Huzzah, it's Errol! In solo action! Again!
  • Jocelyn 3 days ago
    big_smile Oh that would be fun. I'll leave it up to you. Just send me whatever you end up with.
  • Jocelyn 3 days ago
    Anything that I can sing without laughing all the way through... AND NO CHICKEN ON STICKS! tongue
  • hilarious 3 days ago
    i seem to be gathering a bunch of little song excerpts.. like song partials, .. I email them to myself. They pop up from time to time.. but .. it's like the first draft of a novel.. need TONS of work to get them working! big_smile
  • Jocelyn 3 days ago
    Well, I'll leave it up to you as to what to do. I've already got about three collabs on the go.
  • Jocelyn 3 days ago
    Collab? tongue
  • Everett Cinaed 3 days ago
    Heyo, Errol!

    Coming from the Collab Unite topic, I'm taking your post there as an open invitation to post something short and random that needs something short and non-serious involving vocals and lyrics. Well, guess what I've got? big_smile
    http://fawm.org/songs/1648/

    Anyway, just offering if you're interested. smile
  •  songsville 3 days ago
    Yes it's my first FAWM and I am having a blast -- it's by a million miles the best experience I have ever had online (and I have been online for 20 years now wow) and possibly my best musical experience -- the http://www.uksongwritingfestival.com is the main competitor for that title -- I see you are a geek I wrote a song called If I Could Just Press Undo last year which you may like (terrible rough demo I can't sing the notes in it yet) http://www.reverbnation.com/play_now/song_2245829 actually there's no real extreme coding or MySQL in it ... oh well! smile
  •  songsville 3 days ago
    Hey Errol, thanks for your kind and crazy words. Craken and Kraken are I guess from the same universe at least. Yo could have the Kraken coming up out of the murky Danube and fighting the ship's captain that would be a scene ...
  •  cts 3 days ago
    Um...I wouldn't be surprised if it's my hosting site. But thanks for dropping by, friend-o.
  •  Dan Wallbank 3 days ago
    Errol, sir. You asked me to collab and I said I Wasn't sure I'd have time. I have an offer: I tend to do music first, so if I have a track that is vocal-less, would you like it?
  • Jeff C. 4 days ago
    Hi Errol! I referenced you in my maiden FAWM song. I hope you don't mind.

    http://fawm.org/songs/665/
  •  Juxtaposition 4 days ago
    Shit, you weren't on my watchlist this year somehow. How did that happen? Anyway, it's been fixed now.
  • theconsumption 5 days ago
    I feel like I should watch more Starcraft TV here.
    I almost went to watch a game at the iMall in Yongsan.
    They seriously have an e-stadium at the top of a seven story electronics mall.
    The competitors show up with custom-made keyboard cases and everything.

    Hoping to hear a lot from you this month, Errol!
  • Jules 5 days ago
    Hi Errol!
    No, you made a collaboration as easy as possible for me!
    Thank you for that.
    Right now I am trying to collaborate with myself, and staring stupidly into nothingness....
    *sigh*
  •  Billy Sea 6 days ago
    Errol....you have e-----mail
  • Whispered Candles 6 days ago
    Dear Errol,

    I was just coming over here to ask you where your songs are, but saw that theconsumption was kind enough to already leave a message here on behalf of Everybody.

    Also, do you have any ideas for collab songs yet, or do you want me to come up with the collab ideas again this year? big_smile

    Regards,
    WC
  • theconsumption 6 days ago
    Dear Errol:

    Where are your songs.
    We love you and we want to hear them.

    Regards,
    Everybody
  • Jules 6 days ago
    Just a virtual poke --> POKE!

    Hee hee.
  • Ha! you and that great silly smile, that's what fawmspiration is derived from!

  •  Helen 1 week ago
    Duet sounds good. Not sure about style or anything else. Will probably catch you in chat later.
  • PQ 1 week ago
    Glad to see your geek smile!
  •  Helen 1 week ago
    Right, you. Collaboration then. How do you want to play it?
  • Whispered Candles 1 week ago
    Hi, my name is Whispered Candles, and this is me not ignoring Errol. Hi Errol! FAWM starts in less than 24 hours! Yay!
  • Whispered Candles 1 week ago
    Billy: hahaha, yes! And I love that!
  •  Jharms 1 week ago
    Actually, mostly I played uke last year. But I wouldn't be surprised if you don't remember anything; I didn't really produce much good material.
  •  Billy Sea 1 week ago
    WC, when Errol figures it out, the first thing he'll think is that he's on the wrong wall, lol
  • Whispered Candles 1 week ago
    Because we're that awesome, Billy!
  •  Jharms 1 week ago
    Errol, I don't think I ever listened to your stuff last year. So I went to your website (geeklovesongs.com) to get a quick listen. Here's what I've deduced: You're crazy. I like it a lot. Wishing success to you this FAWM!
  • Happy Atheist 1 week ago
    Hey Errol, are you a redditor? (your imgur files made me ask)
  •  Billy Sea 1 week ago
    Yeah WC, the Castle of Errol only appears to be hard to break into...luckily we found the one weak area and snuck right in smile
  • Whispered Candles 1 week ago
    Hi Errol! Aside from my not having time to stalk your soundboard, I also haven't spent as much time on the forums. I read a few posts here in there, but I can't remember when I last made a post. But as soon as February starts I will be on there frequently looking for inspiration for crazy songs. Well, as often as I can be anyway. When I'm not busy writing way too many songs.
  • Whispered Candles 1 week ago
    Yeah, he needs more guards here if he wants to prevent an invasion such as the one we have done, Billy. Woo for us at being awesome at invading! Yay! tongue
  •  Billy Sea 1 week ago
    LOL WC, yeah, he forgets to guard the home front when he's out stalking everyone smile
  •  Billy Sea 1 week ago
    I'll need to make sure I have my 2010 Christmas CD finished by the end of November next year then (at the latest) smile (although I sing Christmas songs year round) smile
  • Taylor Tay 1 week ago
    Oh, you're so kind Errol! tongue

    Hopefully FAWM will give me the practice and confidence I need since I'll be recording vocals just to get the songs out on time. I still may want to borrow your singing, though not necessarily 8 of you singing xD

    Thanks for the tips.
  • Whispered Candles 1 week ago
    Hi Billy! I totally agree; this is a great place to have a conversation. Errol spends so much time stalking our pages that he's not going to notice us here on this page. wink
  • Whispered Candles 1 week ago
    I know, I've been a little off on my stalking. Been busy with some stuff, and distracted with other stuff. I will totally super-stalk you during February though. big_smile
  •  Billy Sea 1 week ago
    Wow, that took forever to get there. Sorry. Thought it would have made it by Chrismas (maybe it is just early for next Christmas) smile
  •  devin 1 week ago
    And to the post below, some sound bytes from game play too. Not the music, but the characters. Ya ya!

    OK, I'm gong to need sleep sometime this week I think, do you think? Or am I over-thinking things...tell me what you think.
  •  devin 1 week ago
    Dude, can you make a video from StarCraft gameplay? It would be uber cool to spend a day staging fight scenes to create a video with our unwritten tune!!
  •  Billy Sea 1 week ago
    Hey WC, I'm thinking we are safe if we carry on a conversation over here. It is the LAST place Errol would look, lol
  • Leslie 1 week ago
    We did, yes, when you were all strangers to me and vice versa. Last July in a church full of FAWMers. Although the evidence is sketchy at best.
  •  Tim Fatchen 1 week ago
    W*rh*mm*r! (Got to be really really careful 'cos they are prickly over intellectual pr*p*rty)...no, not really, all my jeans were stolen long ago. But I brought my family up with appropriate geek exposure, and it took with my son, hence the commission: http://aridhillsgaming.com/
  •  Tim Fatchen 1 week ago
    Hey, I forgot to come in and formally say "hello"! [Takes up couch, feet on table] Hi Errol! (formally)

  •  Mal 2 weeks ago
    'allloooo back at ya. smile
  • Errol, I had to do the show yesterday at 6pm and have to do it at the same time tonight, just an FYI. Also, I wondered if you could do another HUGE favor for me... I'd like to put all the people who have given me permission to play their songs (on my soundboard) onto my watchlist for this account, and wondered if you'd be willing to log in to this account and do that for me. I'd give you the password of course. Please feel free to say no if it's too much, perhaps I could recruit someone else to do it. Thank you! -Charlie
  •  devin 2 weeks ago
    Is it Feb the 1th yet?!?!
  • Errol. I'd never been to your website before, but it is AMAZING. Love the layout.
    My wife and kids also greatly enjoyed your music video for "That's The Way". I really appreciate your sense of humor. Pure geeky acceptance and love.

    smile

    Geek Love Songs. Such a great website name. Such a wonderfully geeky layout.
    Nice.
  • Embers of Autumn 2 weeks ago
    Cool cool... After the 'be nice with your comments' thread, I just thought I'd throw it out there. Thank you for the welcome. Every day is just that more painful it isn't Feb. 1 yet!
  • Embers of Autumn 2 weeks ago
    By the way--just in case you didn't pick up on the joke, I didn't really mean you were an insensitive jerk on the Geezer thread. Just my off-centered humor.
  • Ben Carroll 2 weeks ago
    yo errol!

    i saw you did nano this/last year. love it much?
  •  devin 2 weeks ago
    True fan reporting for duty!

    P.S. Just somehow found your Lego Finland film...priceless! I love the trap door, hehehe...
  • Whispered Candles 2 weeks ago
    No, I wasn't trying to say you're useless musically! I'm saying that even when you think your comments are useless because they have nothing to do with the song, I found them to be very useful because they inspire(d) weird songs. big_smile
  •  1B King 2 weeks ago
    I'm here, I've been in stalker mode Errol. Just waiting for the right moment. *evil grin*
  • Mark C Smith 2 weeks ago
    Thanks for the welcome! A meetup with fellow songwriters would be awesome
  • expendablefriend 2 weeks ago
    It would be cool to give that a go. Can't promise I'll actually be capable of it, but I'd give it my best shot. smile
  • expendablefriend 2 weeks ago
    I know you weren't, but I wanted to hear more of your lyrics. smile I wish I could get funny songs to work! Maybe I'll try in Feb...
  • Ren (hyenaboy) 2 weeks ago
    There's a long-winded reason, but the main idea is that there is no sexual dimorphism between male/female hyenas (I guess I ruined the point by tacking 'boy' on the end... but whatever. pretend it's not there. shh.).
  • Ren (hyenaboy) 2 weeks ago
    I unno, 'cause I don't have too much to say. And I'm busy working on a pre-FAWM song. ^^
  • hilarious 2 weeks ago
    errol.. I just signed up.. I'm scared.. what is this thing? How do I DO it? I've only once written a song..and it was corny.. why am I doing this? what is life about if I'm at the song writing stage of things? Where will this lead to? Dancing and such misdemeanors? big_smile.. HELP.. tell me what to do next! big_smile.. (are there social events like NANO?? )
  • expendablefriend 2 weeks ago
    p.s. Geek Love Songs on download smile

    I've been Errol-ed, I feel honoured! Stalk to your heart's content... smile
    Your a capella video is really something special!
  •  MAX VANREMMERDEN 2 weeks ago
    You will reach 14.000 Forum-posts easy, won't you ?
  • Taylor Tay 2 weeks ago
    I had a bit of a listen to some of your stuff and you actually have a pretty cool voice. I would love to borrow it on some songs as I am as much of a singer as the Pope is a a metalhead.
  • Whispered Candles 2 weeks ago
    Well, you know, there are worse things to be infected by. Like I tend to find ear infections more annoying, simply because they tend to come in pairs for me. And are really really painful.

    Where did someone use this picture in a blog post? yikes

  •  Steffan Pitzel 2 weeks ago
    Yep! That was me. I'll be putting up all my old fawm stuff @ www.yippeehooray.com one of these days. I JUST got that domain a few weeks ago for this year's fawm.
  •  heavyhedonist 2 weeks ago
    Haven't posted any demos so far-- hoping to this time 'round... but my acapella trio broke up about 18 years ago. not that i haven't sung "alone voice" since.
  •  heavyhedonist 2 weeks ago
    Errol-- i should have known you had acapella experience... it really helps train the voice in keeping /finding pitch, at which you are clearly excellent. maybe you'll do another acapella tune soon...
