The Song Fight Bulletin Board

I know there was a GOM a few months ago but it is a yuletide tradition and the OG host (me) is back around... Should we do this thing? Any interest?

Enthusiastically, I was just thinking of songs to propose haha.

Yes! It was lots of fun last time and pretty soon it’s going to be too cold here for me to want to go outside, so hopefully that at least means more time for music.

PS Coincidentally, last night I was just thinking of/listening to Albatross‘s Big Thief cover for me from the last round!

Yeah I'm keen!

YES. YES ME. YES.

Not my cover of Shock Value on repeat?

I listen to that every day so I thought it hardly worth mentioning

I'm satisfied with that reply.

Whoa, for the first time in 20 years, I can say that too.

Ooh, an upside!

Count me in. It's my favourite tradition.

Okay, this seems like significant interest. So, if I were to say: choices by the end of November, covers by the end of December, think we can handle that?

Works for me!

Hey, I didn't say to start posting!

Though I appreciate your enthusiasm.

Okay everyone.
Welcome to GOM 2020/2021

To play along, post up a list of 4 songs that you would love to hear a cover of. You have until the end of the month to join up.
On December 1st, I'll divy up the lists among the participants and you will have until the end of December to cover one of the songs on your list.

Let's go!

lol I stand by my choices.

Posting before I overthink it.



Song of the Sea, Lisa Hannigan

Alt video for the Lisa Hannigan song, which hopefully works for everyone.



And edited for a third time, because I accidentally posted the Irish language video there so. You can sing it in Irish if you like, but here’s the English version.

Brown Shoes, Sing Street




Why am I like this?, Orla Gartland

Alt video for the Orla song, which hopefully works for everyone.

This is me, being in.

New Buffalo - Recovery


Christine and the Queens - Tilted


St. Vincent - Birth in Reverse


Thao & The Get Down Stay Down - Meticulous Bird

Heads up to crumpart and j$ that the videos for Lisa Hannibal, orla gartland, and j$’s first song are blocked in the US (at least for me). I can try to find crumpart’s songs by name but I’d suggest to j$ and everyone else to put the artist and title in the text of your post as well.

Indeed, I should. But also f*ck the US
