I consulted with the senior FMs and we don't want to release the title early, but what we can do is say that title 1000 will go up on 2024-03-14 and the due date for it will be 2024-03-24.

Late BSS song added.

Can you use the notes but change up the rhythm to the melodle thing and still qualify for the optional?

Sure! Change the key, add some rhythm, etc. The core thing is the set of intervals. Bonus points for using a "hard" melody (which is random notes in a chromatic scale).

Songs posted! Slightly smaller turnout this time.

James Owens wakes up to a win, again!

I don't love the idea of trying to send out a mass email. Feels a little spammy. I bet we'd get a lot of rejected emails from defunct email addresses too. We don't have a list of emails handy anyway, we'd have to scrape them from saved emails in the fightmaster inbox and/or from the forums. The foru...

They might not be giants but The John Benjamin Band and Jonathan Mann are both winners!

I'm in! Only 97 more to go!

It'd be easier for me to use your art if you could be bothered to submit it to the site yourself.

Sure, although, putting the numbers in the artist name has the side effect of then splitting the artist's songs across multiple artists in the archive, e.g: https://www.songfight.org/artistpage.php?key=add https://www.songfight.org/artistpage.php?key=add_1 https://www.songfight.org/artistpage.php?ke...

Due to limitations in the way votes are recorded, when you vote, you're effectively voting for "all of the songs in the fight attributed to that band name", there is no individual tracking of which song by a band name you voted for.

Huh. How interesting. So technically, I could construct an entire percussion track which is built out of extremely short samples of copyrighted music, and unenforceable as it would be, I would technically be violating copyright laws. Or would that fall below the threshold for "legally cognizab...

What your friend was talking about sounds a bit like "fair use" in the US: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use Fair use is a doctrine in United States law that permits limited use of copyrighted material without having to first acquire permission from the copyright holder. But the bad n...

Happy post holidays to seemanski, you won!

This is going to be the biggest fight since "Strong Coffee" nearly a year ago. Lots of good songs!

I want to vote for The Ramones "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight)" but it's only a song, so, darn.
