I think it's possible to email the entire user list. Sam? Fluffy? Anyone know? That's how you bring the skeletons from the closet.

Re: 100 Artists for SongFight #1000!
I don’t think we actually have a list of artist emails anywhere. The forum might have an email announcement function though, I dunno.

Re: 100 Artists for SongFight #1000!
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 forums could be difficult to use for that unless we could do it only for active accounts. (Across active _and_ inactive accounts, it's probably like 90%+ spam bot accounts at this point.)

Re: 100 Artists for SongFight #1000!
One email a year from songfight... or in this case, one email every decade or two, is not spammy, imo. But the hurdles of actually having a useful email list is probably prohibitive. If you want to organize something, though, you need some sort of way to organize the thing. Email makes the most sense if it were easily doable. Since I'm not volunteering my time and energy I vote to do it if you can. (Yes, I know I have no votes.)

Re: 100 Artists for SongFight #1000!
I think we have a shot at this. Can we announce a title for it in advance?
I was going to try and reach it to folks who we haven’t seen in a while and they might have some time constraints.

Re: 100 Artists for SongFight #1000!
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.

I love how no matter what I do some smartass here is going to complain about date formats. Wait, did I say "love"?

Re: 100 Artists for SongFight #1000!
That works for me. I’ll try and get some interest from the old folks outside the board, since I know many might not have checked out the forums recently.
I’m also planning on more listening parties leading up to 1000.
Next one Monday. If the new fight is up I’ll play both, otherwise I’ll play it the next week!

Here's a terse post on the cursed FKA Twitter site if folks want to share something:

I added a news item to the homepage, too.

Re: 100 Artists for SongFight #1000!
At first I didn’t see the “March” in the Twitter post. But I think my old eyes just aren’t working right. Maybe s a post clarifying that it’s March 14 that the title goes up, since I misread it as saying this month the 14th and Maybe I’m not the only one with that kind of brain damage.

Re: 100 Artists for SongFight #1000!
Ok, I've set up the Listening Party for the 1000th Songfight! Monday 3/25 at 8:00 pm EST, because I'm expecting it to be a long evening.

Re: 100 Artists for SongFight #1000!
My first pass on email contacts got a few old times interested in joining. I'll keep it up, since it's a great excuse to reach out to friends I haven't chatted with in a long while.
I'm optimistic we will hit 100 artists. I'm also going to stock up on caffeinated beverages and tea. The 3/25 LP starts at 8pm EDT. I'm sure it will go until 1 ish if I guess correctly.

Re: 100 Artists for SongFight #1000!
I hope to do it even though it clashes a little. I'll be coming home on the plane march 15th and chasing around a bit the 16th but should still have time to track.the panna cotta army wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2024 1:55 pmI'll be in as long as it doesn't clash with any dates away
Any old ex-collaborators of mine want to work together again? I'm down with being in more than one band!

Re: 100 Artists for SongFight #1000!
Starting to see folks come out of the woodwork. Not sure if it will be enough to get to 100, but certainly we are going to see some folks we haven't seen in a quite a while!
