So far, you’re batting at 1.000 in these Iron Composer Challenges. No matter how ridiculous the ingredients to the song, Wes, you’ve been able to rise to the challenge. Hmm…rising to the challenge, like heroes of legend, and the athletes of today. And who better to embody that fighting spirit than Frank Dux, the champion […]

One of the great unheralded sources of music that I remember is from commercials. And while, yes, that is a very oblique reference to the creative wasteland (or dare I say, utopia) that is Demolition Man, it is also the truth. How many of these little ditties unlock great memories from your youth? I dare […]

Damn. You breached the Cetera barrier and went into ludicrous speed. Okay, then. Gloves are off. For this week’s Iron Composer Challenge, I shall mine the video game world for its tasty musical morsels. And no piece of music is more famous than the Guile theme from Street Fighter II.

What’s this? A new post? Why yes, it is. If you’ve somehow stumbled upon this piddly little blog, I’d like to welcome you to a series of posts I’d like to call Iron Composer. Now, what is Iron Composer all about? Simply put, it is a musical take of Iron Chef in which I, the member […]

Holy crap. RS sent me this and then failed to post it so every time I want to watch this, I have to log into youtube and find it. And that is several times an hour and becoming a pain in the… So I’m posting it… on his behalf. Future songs will have MORE CHEESE…

I hope this is a fun one. I’m not sure why it took me forever to record but I had so many takes it was embarrassing…especially for a first draft! At any rate, I think I was thinking of the relationship between Ryland and Faith here or maybe Saff and ? or you could help, […]
