Well, I'm confused.

heh. songskirmish is a sidefight in which all participants have 1 hour to write and record a song rather than a week. we've had a couple of them here. i bet somebody can find a link to them but i'm not sure where they'd be.

Prayer for Pancakes was technically a Songskirmish, wasn't it?

Yes it was.

The missing fight was called "Allergy". SongSkirmish organizer The Sober Irishman put the fight up on Soundclick which led to confusion and delay and now I can't find the songs.

But the rules were:
1. Song must be between 1:20 - 2:30 long.
2. No fadeouts.
3. Song must include whistling.
4. No covers.

An hour from when the titles are posted to when they have to be submitted? I hope the deadline isn't 8-5.. some folks have day jobs.

no.

that was only half an hour, and there were no restrictions.

How about right now?

You guys, chill out. Let's organize. Take deep breaths. Super Bowl coming up here. And Madi's first ever orchestra concert. And my oh-so-late orchestration of Welcome to Windows is way overdue. And I want to involve my wife.

It's all about me, dontcha know...

starfinger · Post by **starfinger** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 11:12 pm

coincidentally, wednesday is the only evening i do not go to work.
if this is bad for lots of other people, don't mind me, but i'll vote wednesday.
