As the guy who worked hard to be sure no-one got stiffed last year, I am going to take umbrage with this claim. Last year's deadline for participation was Nov 4, you posted your list on December 21. I don't think this properly qualifies as having been stiffed - just saying.LSK wrote: I got stiffed both of the last two years, so if anyone wants to make good on said stiffing or just cheer a stressed-out college student up, here were my requests for each of the last two years:

Fred Rogers - You Are Special
Pinback - Offline P.K.
Cornelius - Count Five or Six
Swilington - Bullets and Lovers (I would really like to hear a cover of the song we did for Nur Ein IV but I don't know if that's allowed or not.)
here's another song just in case:
Heavy Vegetable - I Owe You
I opened for Heavy Vegetable once in Idyllwild.

June of 1994. I was living in Idy at the time and some friends put on a sort of Arts Event with live music and films by local filmmakers.swilington wrote:hey ken,glennny wrote: Swillington was there at the BSS headquarters for our Cold War and Longest Road session during FAWM.

glennny speaks the truth. i went to a couple of songfight shows but i don't play live because i can't (i just sequence and play a very small amount of guitar). i'm in for the dirty projectors. are you going to pinback on nov 13 at bimbo's?

i just tried to buy a ticket for dirty projectors online and it said that i should choose a smaller quantity. did you guys already get tickets or were you planning on buying tickets at the door? they were just on letterman and jimmy fallon so...

that is one of the coolest things i've ever heard! when was this?
Do we have to write lyrics for this to make it a proper song? After all - this is songfight - not "noodling-jazzmonkey-fight".fluffy wrote: Dave Brubeck - Take Five
Take Five actually does have lyrics but I've never heard them performed - ideally if someone selects this song they'd make a true gift by actually performing it with the words and all.Caravan Ray wrote:Do we have to write lyrics for this to make it a proper song?

Won't you stop and take
A little time out with me
Just take five
Stop your busy day
And take the time out
To see if I'm alive
Though I'm going out of my way
Just so I can pass by each day
Not a single word do we say
It's a pantomime and not a play
Still, I know our eyes often meet
I feel tingles down to my feet
When you smile, that's much too discreet
Sends me on my way
Wouldn't it be better
Not to be so polite
You could offer a light
Start a little conversation now
It's alright, just take five
Just take five
(Repeat all from 2nd verse on)
Well OK then. I didn't know that. Carry on.....fluffy wrote:Take Five actually does have lyricsCaravan Ray wrote:Do we have to write lyrics for this to make it a proper song? After all - this is songfight - not "noodling-jazzmonkey-fight".fluffy wrote: Dave Brubeck - Take Five
