More Sheepdogs?!?…..Yes, please!!!
Thanks, MrPrez!
” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” />Thanks for the amazing barrage of songs! Just a note to any collectors of vinyl here, on Record Store Day next month, the Sheepdogs first 2 albums are being released for the first time, possibly only sold for that one day in most stores, so keep your eyes peeled!

Richard Cheese has been transforming Top 40 hits into lounge-ified swanky joints that would sound right at home at any mobster’s bar in Las Vegas. “Yellow Ledbetter” is Richard’s unique take on the almost incoherent Pearl Jam classic.
Note: This song features piano and vocal accompaniment only, there are no strings or percussion.
Enjoy! That’s it for singles for now, Cake will have to wait a bit longer. Showdown Season 3 is coming up next.

Thanks to Spindoctor for co-authoring this one.
I’ve already charted Dio and Wonderboy from this album so I thought why not keep going, it’s their best one. I also have a WIP chart for “City Hall” that will come out one day because my wife keeps asking when I’m gonna finish it. Anyhow Doc and I thought it would be neat to start doing ‘Special Editions’ of Showdown where we can feature these one-off ideas and have a little fun. There’s another ‘Special Edition’ in April right in the middle of Season 3. By the way the theme as you know is “The 70’s” (last time was ’80s) and this lineup is EVEN BETTER than the last one. But we need an extra week to get a headstart on these customs… see you in two weeks!
What is it about Tenacious D. that makes me feel like I can never get enough of them?!
While I ponder that thought, allow me to extend belated thanks for your additional offerings of Cheese!

Mouse Rat (formerly known as Scarecrow Boat, Ninjadick, Just the Tip, Nothing Rhymes with Blorenge, Tackle Shaft and Rat Mouse) were a fictional band from the NBC TV Series “Parks and Recreation” with actor Chris Pratt as singer, and the show’s producers filling in the rest of the band roles. “5000 Candles in the Wind” is their teary-eyed tribute to Pawnee’s beloved mascot, Li’l Sebastian.
Song reminded me of those great DVDA ballads I did earlier in the year so why not.
Wow never expected this, but am very excited about it.
Thanks glarms! This caught my eye in a buzzfeed article from last week, I shared it on discord but I pretty much already knew I was going to chart it immediately. Loved the song and the show, my new excuse to watch it again.
WOW! Awesome!!! Thanks, im definitely gonna be enjoying this

Written in 1971 for “Hunky Dory“, “Pretty Things” opens with only piano and Bowie’s vocals, before entering a catchy refrain often compared to the Beatles‘ “Martha My Dear“. Thematically the song reflects the occult influence of Aleister Crowley, Friedrich Nietzsche, and the 1871 novel “The Power of the Coming Race”.
Added pro-keys, recharted mostly everything else, fixed a ton of stuff. You know, all the stuff I’ve learned in the 59 weeks since I first released this. Better late than never.
Now that I’m diving into 70’s material for a few months, I’d say it’s a safe bet that we’ll have more Bowie soon.

DZ Deathrays off-kilter approach to punk rock is compelling and then some. Volatile, unrestrained, blaring and abrasive guitar hooks played at maximum volume, however they do not take themselves too seriously. “Gina Works at Hearts” is the perfect example of what makes the band so irresistibly thrilling to listen to. DZ Deathrays began as a house-party band, and according to singer Shane Parsons the “will probably finish there too.” Their 2014 album and opening track “Black Rat” is a jagged burst of energetic punk-rock that pulls no punches.
If you have never heard of them (Hello Australian dance-punk fans) then I guess I would compare them to Canada’s Death From Above 1979. I first heard them on the 2015 Triple-J Hot 100 list with “Gina Works at Hearts” and I was instantly hooked. I might also chart “Reflective Skull” from this same album one day.
Enjoy! No idea what’s coming next, it could be anything.

As I already said man, very awesome to see some DZ Deathrays on here! If you like their stuff I should also recommend looking at Violent Soho and Dune Rats, both are Australian punk bands who are all from the same area in Brisbane, Australia and are all friends.
I also linked your Gina works at Hearts chart to their Facebook page and I got a reply back saying they thought the whole thing was rad

Super cool! Since I tend to chart obscure bands or songs, I’ve been tempted to try that as well with some of my releases… but I’m too afraid they might see it as piracy, lolol
