I do and I don't: cos then I feel EXTRA lazy when it comes to the deadline (usually 3am my time) and I'm still clutching the straws

Banged up some cover art, but in the wrong format (doh!). So, for your head-scratching pleasure, here 'tis...

The SongFight Coverbot didn't do a very good job on this title. I selected what I thought to be the best of all the bad options.

Cool, I was wondering how that worked, if it was a person using that name or an automated process or what. Thanks for making that!

On that one I like the last one which is just a gradient, lol! Deep Throat stumped the Coverbot, too, not just me.

My pal breadbox who is a SongFIght fan and occasional Jerkatorium contributor wrote the Coverbot as a recreational Python hack. He describes in more detail how it works in the about page. I think the gradient is there in case all the entries are really awful.

Very cool. Think it'd be OK if I contacted him about maybe open-sourcing the bot's code ... ? I'd be curious to see it.

I'm certain he'd be pleased to hear from you, you should drop him a line.

For the record, there have been a couple fights where the cover was a .gif file - Cloud Cuckoo Land being one. Don't know if that involved a lot of special coding or not, but I'm pretty sure it's not the only one. In fact the first 20 or so fights are mostly .gif files, though they don't appear to be animated ones... but I think a .gif file is okay for cover art...

See you guys on the front page, the Jerks are in! As usual, we are furiously working up 'til the deadline, but we'll submit in the morning.

I'm throwing my Trilby into the ring again, though I'm not sure how well the genre will go down.

Is there a straggler policy these days?

It's been far too long. The BeWells are back in for this round.

Hopefully I can include my sister in future efforts and get some of the old music gear set up. This one is a solo effort with a guitar and laptop. Since the last entry (and any other side fight related activities) I've relocated, gotten married, and have baby number three on the way. I have been keeping an eye on things here and tried to write a song now and then without much success. It's been great having a number of familiar names and voices popping up in recent fights. Glad to be back!

Ross, a number of songs which were submitted after the deadline but before the site was updated seem to have been put up...
