There's always something about your music, i can't put my finger on it.....
As for yahtzee, well.........
Just write about why exactly you love him so damn much.
I guess that that would work. Usually does.

I'm not sure if this can be used in a song, but here's what I came up with (infulenced by the Wolfenstein review's limerick, obviously) :
We're swamped by games mediocre
with controls as clumsy as ogres
where there's no plot or theme
and bugs reign supreme
and a new idea would be a shocker.
When reviewed by a professional troll
with wording and wit admired by all,
these games with their flaws
get nailed to a cross
and we laugh as these advertised giants do fall.
Each week when the time is right
our screens run yellow with waves of white
and full of disdain
he comes to entertain
with fast forward dictionary might.
Here are my wishes before I say "bye" -
May ZP videos forever thrive,
so "live long", I guess,
and "Yahtzee for prez"
for the people who are still alive.
I hope I helped with something.
Also, great song, that last one!

I don't know how you do it, but please don't stop!
as for the theme of hiding in the machine... yikes, that was amazingly close to the bone. I went through a pretty bad break up recently enough, and to sort of escape the misery, I played Mass Effect 2 till I was too tired to do anything. Finished the game in two weeks though...
I love your stuff, it always soothes while making a statement. Thanks for taking time to put this up, hope the album is going along better now for you!

A song for our beloved resident Yahtzee eh?
Well he spends all day dishing out hate for games and making it seem as though he is a burnt out, spineless, evil shell of a human being for the shallow entertainment of us. Yet at the end of the day maybe he has got a heart of gold, I think that in any context would make for a fine song, the joker becoming the joke.

Really enjoyed the song, as always, I did especially like the motorcycle helmet.
'Even though you speak so long without breath,
You still take mine away.
You rattle words off by the thousand,
But I still don't know what to say.'
eh? fairly awful, but it could work if talent were applied

I love your music Rebecca Mayes, esp how you weave in real life issues (ala the mirror). You remind me a lot of the music I typically listen to (regina spektor, tori, kate nash). You totally do your own thing and its awesome. It is cool to see a female performer who plays her own instruments, does her own thing, and doesn't cow down to industry standards that women in the media are just supposed to be pretty and nothing more. I loved your mirror song the best (though dear god is battling for top spot too), because as a girl, I know what it is like to feel inadequate when compared with media's presentation of women.
As for concepts,
The death of a tamagatchi pet and greiving/ remembering one's time with their pixeled character.
How about how in turn based rpgs (ala final fantasy, dragon warrior) the heroes and monsters take turns in attacking. Even though they are trying to kill one another... they are being civil and waiting for the other one to strike. Maybe something about how they should not fight each other when their "action bars" finishing loading, like why are we even fighting? (real world connection - relationship issues of couples fighting but shouldnt be)
Or a look into MMORPGs and how one should be themselves and feel confident of themselves when in real life they might be feeling down, but feel great in the online fake world.
I don't really play these games, but my friends are obsessed with facebook games. So maybe something about them?

My grass is so high that it goes over the fence. I have a lawnmower but it's just too epic for it and kills the motor...Rant finished. REBECCA YOU ROCK!
