The Fender Rhodes on that Future Boy track is fucking butter. Slather me up and broil me with it.

Who's that playing guitar? Nice track (it's like a Beck outtake).

More Chucklehead! (that facehugger Alien song was great!)

I hope someone wrote a song about Omar the Butcher.

It's only a 9 hour drive from Santa Cruz to Bend!

So the drummer in the band I've been currently playing with regularly just played a gig at a nice, cool bar in downtown Redwood City (SF Bay Area) and her other band drew a good crowd on an otherwise dead Friday night last week, so the owner loves her. The bar has a downstairs with a pool table and ...

I think there is very likely to still be an online component of Song Fight Live even if there is also some in-person component. Everybody made such great stuff for the live streams the last couple years and they seemed to go over really well, and it's great to have a way for more folks to be involv...

I'm always interested and always a little wary! (so I voted accordingly)

Have an idea for this that I've been wanting to do for a while, has to do with needing a song that starts in one key and ends in another... the lyric came quickly, it's already done, but the recording is going to take a while. We'll see if it works out, but I'm trying to keep the streak going here....

King Arthur! Got my vote. Good to (virtually) see you old friend!

Jimmy Page played the lead on "Stairway to Heaven" on a 1959 Telecaster given to him by Jeff Beck when he joined the Yardbirds. I love my Strat but I love Teles too.

Wow... Dennis emailed me this evening to give me the news, and I an absolutely shocked! I was the last bass player for sonofsupercar, and though we only played together for ~6 months I can confirm everything that has been said about Blue in these posts. Blue was an incredible musician, badass drumm...

And here I thought I was special when he made me fish tacos at his house. He loved his fish tacos. And Florida football.

Very sad news. I had the pleasure of meeting Blue at Santa Cruz in 06. Great bloke.

He did so much to support those 2 live shows, including shlepping a lot of gear to and from Mountain View. He was a one man roadie wrecking crew.

Blue was also part of Japantown Three http://songfight.org/artistpage.php?key=japantown_three, which was Blue, myself, and Jack Shite I think? I remember the little practice space we worked on the song in, but I don't remember if it was for an SFL or what. Yup I posted the story of this in the othe...

Back-in-the-day Song Fight legend Blue Lang passed away. Some folks expressed interest in a musical tribute. Let's do it! I think most of his Song Fight entries were with his band sonofsupercar but he's got a few more in there and maybe some of you know about ones the rest of us don't. Maybe also f...

I'd even credit Blue with bringing "collaborations" to SF. I know some people worked together on songs (like the Lancaster folks) but Blue was the guy who started the IRC (SF Chat). And we used to hang out in there and people would collaborate because they could now chat in real time. It's where I h...

I'm in complete shock. The guy was a beast. And he influenced early SF so much. If he liked your stuff you got tingles. If he hated it you wore it like a badge or ran away. He was brutally blunt and honest and the fucking essence of Song Fight! He loved this place and he loved the community here. Th...

¿Qué pasa?

(I might have the opportunity to shoot some brody video later this month is why I'm asking).

Happy birthdays Ken, Glenn, and Fluffy! If there was a SF "Hall of Fame", you guys (and gal!) would be part of the inaugural class!

¿Qué pasa?

Oh, that's a good point, I hadn't looked at the originating site.

FWIW, for the last little while when Jack Shite was still running it as a weeklyish thing on its own site, he was mostly picking sample packs and a capellas from ccMixter.org.

what fluffy said!

Many thanks to Mel Dee for her gracious donation of time and her great song!

These are great. Keep going! I'm really enjoying them.
