BSS is in with a late track. I came down with a cold and needed a couple of extra days to be well enough to sing and mix. Please be gentle.

Interesting tidbit from last night: Michael Jackson's jacket on the cover of the Bad album is a direct rip off (made by the same designer) of Warrant's clothes. MJ summoned the designer in to show him a Warrant flyer and ask for clothes like them! There was a whole section of the book about the peop...

I got this book for the holidays and am really enjoying it. If you were into Poison, GnR, Skid Row, Quiet Riot, etc in the 80s, this book is made up of interviews with the people who were there put together to tell the story of how these bands formed, built themselves up, got signed to record labels...

I have been thinking about a couple of songfight related things:
1. Bring back instant band
2. Organize a cover fight

I've had the snare one for a while, but I just read a good review of the subkick in TapeOp

Thank you Song Fight for existing. Thank you for the great friends I've made and all the songs I written because of you.

I don't know anything about them. They just showed up in my Spotify new releases playlist and I've been checking out the different albums on that list. This one was pretty good and then I heard this song and wanted to share it.

I heard this song today and there is something very Song Fight! about it:



Or maybe it is just me...

I Get Bad by Berkeley Social Scene Verse 1: In my mind, shadows grow Heart pounding, cold as snow Silent moments, heavy weights Fear plagues me, as I suffocate Chorus: I get bad But I won't let it define every part of me I get bad Through sleepless nights, I'm seeking a remedy I get bad Gonna break ...

2. Make your awesome video. 2-3 songs, 10 minutes or under. Be creative.

The Jerks have a one-song video lasting just over 4 minutes. That's okay, right?

Yes. Do it!

One is preferred, but I'm sure two will be fine.

Hi All, We may not be able to meet up in person yet, but that doesn't mean we can't celebrate another year of Song Fight with our annual Song Fight Live Celebration! I hope this isn't too short notice, but let's have an online show on Saturday August 26th. You can register to participate here by Sun...

All Hail the Elite Inner Echelon Blood Circle on their day of birth!

I'm curious how the judges might feel about swapping lead vocalists for this round.
