The results are in and the fight has been won by ... Joy Sitler!

Okay, cool. So if entrants completely ignore the fact there is a special meaning and write something that is (probably) unrelated they won't be penalised by the judges? Speaking for myself at least, I have no expectation that folks' lyrics have anything at all to do with the real-life thing the tit...

This is both fun and a relief! At first, I didn't understand anything and spent some time researching what it could mean. The only thing I gathered, if I understood correctly, is that SNAP is what some social benefits for people with disabilities are called in the USA. I also asked a friend who's a...

So you want us to interpret the title in a specific way, but you don't want us to know what that interpretation is. Gotcha. That's the opposite of what she was saying. so we do not unintentionally influence anything with respect to artistic interpretation of the title and challenge Write whatever y...

So I learned after that fact that, without written notation, it can be difficult or impossible to discern 5/4 from 5/8. Everybody had a five beat "feel" so I considered it all good, challenge wise. Also I thought these were all solid and enjoyable. And these of course are just my off the c...

Maybe it'd be fun for the crusty olds who are still here to talk about how they used to record and produce their songs for Song Fight back in the early '00s? I had been doing multitrack recording on a Tascam Portastudio 424 4-track cassette recorder for maybe about 10 years before I started submitti...

Happy 25th birthday Song Fight!

Here are my very late comments that lost steam halfway through. Oh well... BSS Good lyrics and music and performance and production. Great guest choice! I like the response gang vocals, which are something BSS can do better than most everybody else since you can actually get the band members in a ro...

The title of the event? That's a work in progress. Or if you mean the live fight title, that will go up a few days before the event. Also are you guys gonna be there?! That would be rad!

Nick Cave's "Where the Wild Roses Grow" as a model That is a classic, and a great model for that round;s challenge. But it's in 6/8, not 3/4. :P And Logic absolutely does support setting the meter/time signature to whatever you want, as many times as you want, during a song: https://suppo...

Keep up the snark and we'll go back to giving out titles and challenges that are totally at odds with each other.

I'm working on comments but probably won't have them posted till tomorrow.

Title: Cracks in the Sidewalk Challenge: Must include use of 5/8 meter for at least one significant part of the song That's me out. I have no idea what 5/8 meter is nor how to achieve it - and don't really have time this weekend to bother trying to learn. Also not keen on the obscure regional diale...

Happy birthdays Ken and Glenn and fluffy!
