songfight covers / hxaro archive
Posted: Thu Jan 24, 2008 6:19 am
I've mentioned this a couple places already, but I guess this is the official announcement...
JB has given his okay for songfight.net to host covers - one songfighter covering another songfighter's song. We're still waiting for somebody to work up a slick interface for submissions, but in the meantime, he has given me an ftp account, and I have been working on uploading all the stuff I have copies of, and generating index pages in various forms.
http://www.songfight.net/covers/
At this point, I'm limiting this to covers of songs from SF titles - covers of songs from AADs, Nur Ein, etc. are not included. At some point they may be. I'm pretty sure that covers of non-songfighter songs (stuff from GOM, etc.) will not be included, if only for copyright reasons.
Anyway: please take a look at the stuff I have up so far... I have not yet entered in everything that's already listed in the sidefights archive; I'm working on that. In the meantime...
- if you can point me to a working link for any of the songs on the "needed" page, please do so... if you have a copy but nowhere to post it, PM me, and if I don't get it anywhere else, I can give you my email address...
- if you have done covers of other SF songs, or if people have done covers of your songs, and they're not in the list, please post title / original artist / cover artist information here (with a working link if you have one, but even if you don't, please list the song so we can start looking for it).
- every cover song should have a working link to the cover version, the original version and the page for the fight. if you come across broken links, please post that and I'll clean them up.
- if I capitalized your name and you don't want it capitalized or something like that... let me know.
- if you feel like doing some covers of SF songs... this would be a good time!
The point of this whole exercise is that a lot of self-hosted covers get lost when the individual artist loses their website or needs the space for something else... by capturing these things on songfight.net, they will hopefully be available as long as songfight! is around.
Thanks,
