Yeah, go light a fire under his butt or something! I can never remember if that's supposed to be a metaphor or not...
Can we expect a continuation of the 'featured artist' trend this round? FinnMK ft. the soulful backup harmonies of johfn & ethansight, perhaps? Hmm.

Interesting idea! Perhaps we should feature the abilities of this mysterious "johfn". I hear so much about him, but unfortunately I have never met him.

I hear he's a great vocalist.

Yes, he is quite the mysterious fellow, Grant ed.
Escaping via typo, eh? Well played.
In a surprising turn of events, Finn M-K has gone folk rock! I don't know if it'll get me through to the finals, but gotta keep trying new things to grow as a musician...

The silence has been broken! Who will be the next to submit their Semifinals track?
We've still got several more days left before hitting the deadline. Give it your all!

Wow! I haven't listened to your track yet, but if attitude was among my criteria I'd give you a 10/10.

BUT there are two of you, so the score is out of 20. Therefore, you only get a 20/20. M'kay?

*cough* yeah, keep the bpm locked to 170, with a song length under two minutes! Creative boundaries and all.

Hey, it can't be dumber than using those eccentric things called "drums" which sometimes appear in really weird wonky tracks.

Aren't those atonal? I never got the point of having non-melody instruments in songs.

The Semifinals have reached the final two days of production. Whether you're still adding drums, solos, melodies, or whatever—
just make sure that your track is submitted by the ever important deadline!
This round will ultimately determine who gets a shot at the title, so be prepared to pull out all the stops. In classic Newgrounds Audio Deathmatch tradition, the name of the game is Do or Die!
No pressure.
We're down to the final day of the Semifinals! @FinnMK has already arrived on the killing field, but we're still awaiting the rest of our stalwart battlers.
@etherealwinds, @steelside, @johnfn & @ethansight...
Arm yourselves, pray to whatever deities you believe in, and step into the arena once again! The Audio Deathmatch Quarterfinals await. The end is near! For some, nearer still.

I have this image in my mind of a full crowd in an ancient Colosseum. Down on the sandy floor, there are a bunch of slain NGADM gladiators. And then there's Finn running around with a sword in one hand, a keytar in the other, and a bucket on my head, yelling "Oh Mama hey!" over and over again.
The other three of the final four are in the shadows just behind the gate, like "...maybe we should just wait until he dies of heat stroke."

Slightly more anticlimactic than I was aiming for, but hey—it made me laugh! The fact that you guys all manage to maintain your sense of humor even at this stage is a tribute to your fortitude.
Whatever happens from here on, I wish each and every one of you the best of luck. You all impress the hell out of me.
Someone should seriously animate - or at least illustrate - that image...

Hey guys.
I've had to request an extension, so naturally the 10% penalty that Chrono mentioned previously will be in effect and anything I submit is guaranteed to be low scoring in comparison to the rest of the competition. I've been trying to rush to put something new together after the last track I composed fell through, and while there is still 3 hours left, To me, the quality of music this year has been phenomenal, and I would absolutely rather sacrifice any chance at a victory in order to maintain that quality, and not rush a song for the sake of it and still probably score lowly. I'll accept the penalty but work hard the next few days to compose something beautiful, despite the competition. :)
I look forward to hearing the other tracks and I'll get something in asap. I hope that's okay and I've spoken to Chrono already.

Wow. That's really admirable. Thanks for keeping everyone in the loop, Jordi! ^_^
"Time's fun when you're having flies." ~Kermit the Frog
Well, @etherealwinds has decided to take one for the team! Honestly, while I'm a little disappointed, especially since I have to take that 10% off his average score at the end, I can't fault him for his logic. All in all, it's a really tough call, and accepting the penalty could very well be a make it or break it decision.
That said, we're still awaiting the arrival of @steelside and the team of @johnfn & @ethansight! With less than two hours remaining, there's no time to waste. Or will you choose to leave @FinnMK running around the bloodstained arena alone, stabbing at the air with his sword and shouting "Oh Mama Hey!" until his poor heart bursts?
imagine if everyone dropped except Finn
nah we're totally submitting =P
and by we i mean ethan duh
