Re: Evaluating new forums

Thanks for all your work on the forums... one small request, there used to be a link on the forums header that would take one back to songfight.org, would it be possible to put that in again? Maybe clicking on "negative people..." could get one back to SF :-) Thanks!

Re: coverfight

Got mine, thanks! Could you maybe update your first post in this thread so that it lists everybody who is in and then maybe also includes the links when the fight is announced? Just so it's easy to find the official links? Thanks!

The Pawnbroker's Stepdaughter by Beowulf Kingsley (posting lyric because I'm doing a cover and the lyric wasn't in here yet) When I first met her she glanced through the cage The dark reading glasses belying her age She said that the goods that I had weren't worth much But the look in her eyes told ...

Re: Covering random songs from the archive

Well, I tried to go Steely Dan with this, which definitely did not simplify the process. I could spend another month getting it just exactly perfect, but here's what it is... apologies for the synth sax, to those who are sensitive to such stuff... http://www.charleswolff.com/kingarthur_oldmangrumpus...

Re: Under siege all over (The War On prefight)

It's like when the title was "WTF." I was the only person who figured out it was the name of a radio station in Tallahassee, Florida. I didn't win, though. It still comes down to who did the best song that could be called "The War On." Or who can convince the most friends to come...

Maggie Phair Songwriting Contest

Interesting that the music can come from "any well known song," but, of course, all us songfighters would do something original, right?

Anyway, if you're interested, deadline is March 31, 2014.

Re: Yeah, but what if you just hear me? (pre-fight)

I had this idea to do something olympic themed - "What if icy? You first..." for the cover art, but the more I thought about it, the less I liked it, so a few hours after the last minute I did something boring... still not able to do much singing, either, so I'm continuing to sit these fig...

Re: How do I un-submit a song? ("I Take that Back" reviews)

It does seem like we've had plenty of reviews posted and it might just be time to get a new title posted... so I can get started working on cover art, of course :-)

Re: How do I un-submit a song? ("I Take that Back" reviews)

And only because I'm so desperate to do well at something, I will also note that I seem to be second only to bortwein in submitted cover arts. And thanks to running unopposed in a lot of those, I've even got some "wins" :-)

Re: songfight covers / hxaro archive

I do not have that roymond cover of your song, so put it somewhere where I can get to it and I'll add it. Thanks. I've been inclined not to include the "cover yourself" songs here, though I could be talked into it... it is, after all, songfighters covering songfighters... the songs from bo...

Re: songfight covers / hxaro archive

Another update to the hxaro archive - new htm files and 24 new songs (mostly from 2010 coverfight). hxari-pdv.txt datafile also updated, and I included the h.pl script I use to create the .htm files from the data. Data cleanup, like differences in capitalization or spelling. Post here if you see any...
