Oh my god, this is so me. If I'm not in this one, y'all can point at me and laugh. And call me Nancy.

I'm up at 4:53am, and looking to see if there's a new Song Fight title. Guess I should do a song for this one.

Gonna attempt a GnG for this one. Love the title

With the exception of the week fightmaster picked three Beatles titles, this is the first time I can ever recall the Songfight title already having been taken by a band I actually like.

Oh well. Maybe I'll be in? Not sure. Haven't gotten much sleep lately.

I'm in.

The drumming is actually quite in time on this one. I surprised myself.

Can anyone give me hints on how to encode into .mpe format?

I will be in. Did the song last night, haven't submitted. May or may not screw with it before the deadline. But I will for sure be in at some point. ^_^

I guess that should really be "yourbandname_wns.mp3"

I'm guessing you're going for mp3, not mpe. Am I right?

If so, I use Audacity to convert to mp3. Just make sure you have the LAME Mp3 Encoder before you start. Once you open up your file (I'm assuming it's a wav) in audacity, just click file-->export as mp3. Pretty self explanatory.

Now if you're actually looking to export into .mpe format, there's not much I can do. Because I don't know what a .mpe is.

I'm quite sure Spud made up a new audio encoding format just for this round. Let's ask him.
Or that was just an effect of... wait for it... sleep deprivation.

Oh, I'm a genius.

ps - I've got a tune for this written. Anyone got some inspirational quotes to get me motivated for recording?

Sounds like we're in for this one as well.

prognosis is good!

Just finishing it up. I'm in. Finally, and this song isn't off key... as much. haha

Has anyone considered the Octothorpesque title-twisting angle and thought about doing a song called "The Who Needs Sleep"?

j$ · Post by j$ » Fri Oct 23, 2009 6:45 am

Indeed. Although in the UK we would say the Who need sleep. interestingly it's not marked as a question, or a sub-clause of a question, so that would be the more accurate interpretation. Maybe (Doctor) Who Needs Sleep (because he's looking tired these days)

I had considered an angle involving a sleep-deprived first baseman.

Or perhaps the 1960s British rock band are considering replacing one of their dead members with mediocre 1980s South Australian Test cricketer, Peter Sleep.

I will not be in - in addition to the fact that I am currently hosting a slumber party for several 9 - year olds. I spent my musical energy this week trying to record towards completion of an album.

I hope all the songs are fabulous.

I am in.

wages · Post by **wages** » Sun Oct 25, 2009 12:16 pm

I'm in with a Wages entry. I got some drums and bass from M.Winter (we have a band called The EAF). We were going to do it as an EAF song, but time and schedules, well, you know. So this entry has a lot of rough edges, but maybe it will be somewhat redeemed by having bass and drums? We intend to finish a proper recording of the song, so you can bet once we do it'll get posted here.

In the meantime, please be forgiving!
