Re: I shot man in Reno (Nevada prefight)
This title reminded me of when I first joined SongFight! in 2004 and people on these message boards would post "Nevada!" and then an enormous jpg of a Nevada landscape to effectively end a discussion thread because no one wanted to wait around the minute or so it took the image to load, an...

Re: Hostess Mostess is (kind of) moving to Houston!
Oh, Houston is famously micro-fractured as far as like… dangerous neighborhoods go. So “med center” can mean hi-end living, or it can mean zombieland. Shoot me an address before you sign a lease and I’ll give you a 👍👎😆 Will do! I walked around a lot and took the Red Line up and down. Midtown was ve...

Re: Hostess Mostess is (kind of) moving to Houston!
I moved from there to Maine two years ago this month. What part of town? I've lived in the Heights, Med Center, Downtown, Pearland, Energy Corridor... moved around a lot in 8 years. I don't know of any other songfighters in the area; most of the Texas contingent was always Austin-based, with Wreckd...

Hostess Mostess is (kind of) moving to Houston!
Hey which if any of our SongFight! crew lives in the Houston area? I am taking a job there starting this summer. I'll be back and forth between Texas and Michigan, but I'd love to meet up with any Houston-based fighters for a jam or a collab or a beer or a game.

Maise Peters
My 15yo wants to go see Maise Peters in Detroit this weekend and I have to say she's a pretty good songwriter. The pop production is a bit slick for me but it frames her songs well, and it sounds kind of '80s which makes my GenX heart beat. Kind of a drag to drive into the city at night and back hom...

Re: That's cool but it's (Not My Vibe prefight)
I have a whole song recorded and ready except I am completely blocked up for lyrics. I have a dang good melody but it needs a lot of syllables and internal rhymes to make it work and I'm too old for this shit. Where do you guys find last minute lyrics inspiration?

Re: Do you remember (The Last Good Year prefight)
My next prompt was "Write a review of a good but amateurish song called "The Last Good Year" that you found catchy but maybe a little too trite and cliche." It wrote: I recently heard a song called "The Last Good Year" and it was pretty catchy, but also a bit too cliche...

Re: Do you remember (The Last Good Year prefight)
I went to OpenAI to try their new chatGPT tool and just for giggles the first prompt I tried was "Write sad and wistful lyrics for a popular song called "The Last Good Year" with lots of internal rhymes and a couplet structure." Here's what it wrote for me: Verse 1: When I look b...

Re: Novembeat
I am doing Novembeat (and ideally NaSalMo as well) this year. I have really slacked off the music stuff over the last year or so and it's hurting my heart. I think this will help.
I'll be posting my progress at this oldie-time blog I set up here. Stop on by and leave a comment.

Re: Pickin' up a six pack (On My Way Home prefight)
Hostess Mostess is in again! We are on a roll this summer! This one feels big to us, like a creative inflection point. Something's coming, something good, if I can wait. My one regret is that it has the lyric "I passed a machine" and I kind of swallowed the "I" so now it sounds l...

Any other Linux-users here? I'm kind of eager to try out PipeWire but I don't have a lot of time to tinker with it. Lord knows my low latency JACK setup was hard enough to get working smoothly and I'd hate to try something else, dislike it, and have to rebuild what I have. Has anyone started using P...
