We got beer and weed but (Don't Come Here to Live prefight)

Optional challenge:
Live recording


This is the title for the live fight.

Re: the optional challenge and performing your song int he live fight at Song Fight! Live. Generally speaking there is no "official" recording made of the live fight. Usually though a community member volunteers to record it. If that happens, you can try to work with the volunteer community member to obtain their live recording of your song for you to submit. Alternatively you may want to consider making your own live recording of your live fight song, so you can submit that.

For those of you playing along at home, folks not attending the live event/fight have performed their songs live at other venues and/or simulated performing live.

It is the title for the live fight. It's not more lead time than we usually get. :) We just all take until the last minute anyway. (Well, if by "all" I mean "me" which of course I do mean.)

I, for example, am too busy re-learning my old songs to have time to write a brand new tune. (Hey, I live in Portland. This is how we roll!)

It's definitely less time than we usually get.

And this is by far the earliest I've gotten a live fight song written, as I finished writing it yesterday. Usually I come up with it at 4 AM the day of the live fight.

I expect to be in, but with a dreary failed experiment -- unless something miraculous happens, like maybe elves fixing it in the middle of the night while I sleep.

In, going back to the early days of p++'s song writing proclivities for this one. Written @ 9am, day of the show, heh.

You could use youtube mp3 downloader to get the audio out of your livefight recording.

My entry is clearly not actually recorded live but I tried to remain faithful to the spirit of the thing by writing and recording it all very quickly while my ladyfriend watched. Also, I was drunk.
