• Contacting me for amendments.

    by solvent_d on February 15, 2011 I don't check this site often for comments, so if you're eager to have amendments made--other than leaving a comment at the lyrics' page, please drop me a Private Message. Thanks much! Comments are disabled
  • Petty Disbelief.

    by solvent_d on August 15, 2008 Sometimes I wish admins wouldn't go correcting whole chunks of lyrics while bypassing original transcribers. I get that the main point is that lyrics reflect accuracy, but some of us have a certain philosophy towards transcription that unilateral corrections do not reflect. Besides, not all of us are inactive at updating our lyrics; maybe this is partly due to a system lacking a messaging system that allows readers to get in touch with posters directly. Especially important when some lyrics gain so much response that it's hard to tease the corrective messages from the interpretive ones. Just a thought born from my petty disbelief. /whine Comments are disabled
  • Punctuation.

    by solvent_d on June 27, 2008 I just realised that some lyrics that I copied and pasted directly from some artistes' websites are lacking punctuation which I never get down to adding (e.g. Bowerbirds songs). The funny thing is I'm usually somewhat fussy about punctuations when it comes to my own transcription, but when lyrics are available I find providing them verbatim more honest on my part. (Does that even make sense? Hmmm...) Comments are disabled
  • Intro & Meta.

    by solvent_d on May 28, 2008 I'm a big follower of the music blog My Old Kentucky Blog that focusses mainly on American indie artistes. The exercise in transcribing lyrics of songs by artistes featured there are my way of adding to the knowledge base lacking in the scene, and hopefully also help to put these acts on the radar. Unless readily available, lyrics are transcribed to the best of my listening comprehension, and depend largely on user input for verification to improve accuracy. Comments are disabled
