I've talked about this a bunch in other spots but sure! My very first Song Fight! entry was recorded before I knew how to play guitar. I only had half-duplex recording and I was super used to using Impulse Tracker for all my shitty techno music, so what I did was recorded a bunch of guitar strums (o...

holy crap why don’t all stands come like that out of the box?! So obvious in retrospect.

I think it’s a new feature in the latest version. Previously doing stereo pan required a plugin.

I had planned on posting something profound today but it turns out I’m bad at profundity. But man, 25 years. That’s an eternity in Internet time. Back in 2000, sharing music online was super difficult; webhosting space was expensive, mp3 still wasn’t universally supported, most people were still on ...

But what's the TITLE?

The title of the show is (as of right now) Planes & Refrains. The title for the live fight will be announced sometime around the beginning of August.

Happy birthday Glenn and Ken

Hoblit's backing out of Song Fight! because he's getting some... okay I can't bring myself to say the rest of that even ironically.

We'll miss you, but enjoy your new critter friend!

Interesting concept! I'll definitely have to check it out at some point.

Anyway I finally got my records today, and I wrote a bit about it on my blog: https://sockpuppet.band/blog/2920-elasticStage-A-brief-review tl;dr: The quality is good for what it is. Real vinyl manufacturing will produce better results, but if all you want is a collectible artifact, elasticStage is ...

Oh also https://seattle.eater.com/ is a great resource for finding places to eat. There's some really good places in Georgetown and neighboring South Park.

Hotels in Georgetown would probably be the best option location-wise since that gives you easy access to both Spud's and my place. Also for those who don't want to bother with a rental car, the #60 bus serves all three locations (although it's pretty slow).

Who's planning on arriving a bit earlier? I want to have a late-summer barbecue and having a bunch of friends in town would be a great excuse. (It would probably not be exclusive to Song Fight! friends though.)

Expensive.

There tend to be pretty good AirBnBs around though.

I find it kind of funny who started this thread.

The forum has been super unresponsive for the last few days, and it turns out we were being DDoSed by the current trendy bullshit that's been affecting large swaths of the Internet as of late . I've blocked a bunch of known AI crawlers and the forum has immediately become way more responsive, so. Y'...

I've been making some headway into pivoting to music as my full-time career but it's feeling difficult to get other people to care about it. But I'm plugging along and making music because the alternative is not making music, which feels worse. How about you? How can we support you in this endeavor...

There's a thread specifically about Dennis now. viewtopic.php?p=235702#p235702

Thank you so much for sharing. Do you have any idea what happened and is it anything you can share? Not that it really matters in the end, I guess.

Totally understandable. Such terrible news no matter what.

Ah jeeze. Any idea what happened yet?

What is with this month?
