Yeah, folks, we'll get things in as we can and if we wind up with more material than we have time for we can figure out about maybe doing some additional streams next month, possibly with a bit less organization and fanfare.

Just uploaded a video I put together today for the "High and Higher" fight... erm, for the song I entered into the "High and Higher" fight. Feel free to not use it if you have more than enough submissions for the next couple of streams.

There is still plenty of space for more stuff for the next two weeks. Don't worry, if you upload something it WILL get used, barring some sort of mix-up.

Just not tonight, is all.

It was a fun night. I'm glad it went as well as it did despite a couple of small technical issues. Trying to the keep SFL spirit alive.

Let's see more sets and videos for this week's!

I mean, I basically think you guys could do this for another month, I'm sure some people need to work up to it but they would if they could. Or maybe just do once a month after? I know doing livestreams is a PITA though, so I get it, but it kind of feels like you're just starting to build a little momentum

There's a real possibility we'll wind up with more material than we can fit in the nights we have planned. We're discussing options for handling that. I think we'd all enjoy keeping some version of this going semi-regularly or occasionally, though, so it'd just be a matter of who volunteers to orchestrate it each time.

Also though this initial burst of excitement will likely fade away over time, so I think saying we'll do any kind of "permanent" ongoing thing is probably premature.

I was hoping to get "Broken Heart Syndrome" in before last Saturday.
Didn't happen, but it's in now. So maybe this week.
Sync = annoying problem that I was not able to solve this time.

As a mostly listener/lurker, it’s interesting to see the faces behind the music. Even if it’s not live - I’d love to see a songfight month in review video magazine. Interviews, Fight wieners talking about their songs, mini production ted talks....

Entertain me Songfight!

I'd be down for a monthly show. Could do it on, like, the third weekend of every month. Show like 5 25 minute-sets. It can be the center piece of the Songfight channel.

I was thinking something similar. Virtual "Song Fight! Presents" shows? We did them live! It seems like this is being well received. Maybe do them more than once a year? Twice a year? No logistics to worry about!

I'm all for this kind of thing-- the resources (.org or .net sites as needed, youtube channel, social channels, slack, etc) are at your disposal.

Happy to have more content on our brand new YouTube channel.

But one of y'all advocating for these shows will need to step up and organize/host it, otherwise it's almost certainly not gonna happen.
