Also you have met him at the Cornelius show as well as Song Fight west coast tours. hey ken, glennny speaks the truth. i went to a couple of songfight shows but i don't play live because i can't (i ...

Re: A New Sidefight Kinda Like Nur Ein

wouldn't doing the contest through songfight just be messing with songfight during those weeks? the person who does songfight during those weeks who isn't part of the contest will have to deal with huge contest going on (not to mention potential friend-flooding). i just liked that, when you get kick...

Re: A New Sidefight Kinda Like Nur Ein

the point system sounds good. maybe there could be a couple of 'bonus point opportunities' sprinkled throughout the competition. like, covering a specific song or making a music video of your last song. something like that.

Re: Nur Ein IV: Final Round

How about something like nur ein but with less rounds and more time to work on songs? And, most importantly, the challenges would be way more heavy duty (ones that would drastically effect the song) with hopes of finding the most incredibly versatile band.

Re: Song Fight Archive Web MP3 Player

wow sam, this is amazing! i have no idea if this is even plausible/possible but, it would be super cool if any sidefight songs (still out there in internet-land) were added to the archive. maybe just the major sidefights (nur ein, gift of music, etc.) also, (pretty sure that this would be too much t...

Re: Deep Cuts from the SongFight! Archive

I wouldn't have minded if they had bothered to credit their lyrical source (me.) I don't like the pompous vocal delivery but the tune is pretty. how did that happen? did you post your lyrics before the songs were due? i really liked your song from that fight too. The Little Smokes Galaxies Floating...

Re: Deep Cuts from the SongFight! Archive

i really like this song by Swindle Staccato for Galaxies Floating on a Dark Matter Stream. it was apparently the subject of some controversy because of lyric burgling. still like it.
