Re: I set my chair by the road to watch (A Grand Parade prefight)

I set up the Listening Party for the 1000th Songfight last month. I was going to try and experiment with mirroring the feed to the SongFight YT site, but the last time I tested it wasn't a positive result, and borked the ability to reuse the same link. If I can finagle something I'll mirror to both,...

Re: I set my chair by the road to watch (A Grand Parade prefight)

I'm still on track to play all 100+ songs on Monday night. Expect a long listening party.
And BYD is working on a tune as well.

One caveat - If I get a ton of 10 second AI songs, I'll pass on playing those.

What's the point in trolling people on such a happy occasion?

Re: SpinTunes 22 Round 1 Challenge - 'Weather Report'

Starting on my impressions of the songs this round. Can't say they're reviews, but more what went in and out of my head while listening to the tunes while we wait on the judges to opine. Your mileage may vary. Stacking Theory - Mordialloc Beach (when the wind is right) I like the driving beat and th...

Re: I don't just _like_ magic, I (Love Magic prefight)

If the songs are up by Monday night, I'll do a Listening Party at 9pm.

It looks like I'll be doing LP on Monday nights straight out for the next 2 months between SpinTunes and SF #1000 - an by then NurEin should start up again.
