Album A Week. With Twists For Fun (AAW.WTF[F])

Niveous · Post by **Niveous** » Thu Jun 22, 2006 2:32 pm

Can someone just make a post clarifying the rules, so we don't have to look through the thread to figure it all out.

GlennCase · Post by **GlennCase** » Thu Jun 22, 2006 2:40 pm

I'll edit my post here on page 2 with the new rules. It will make it easy to find the rules. Just go to page 2.

EDIT: Done. And my area for the songs <a href="http://glenncase.com/music/glenncase/aaw1/">Has been created</a>

ROCK!

Can my songfight entries be counted in my album... i mean if i put them up with the rest of the album?

GlennCase · Post by **GlennCase** » Thu Jun 22, 2006 4:26 pm

I would say, if you happen to write a song for your album that uses a songfight title for this week, and you want to enter it in a songfight? Absolutely. Go for it.

If you DO go that route, I would recommend that you don't post a link to the song until the actual fight is up, and that you only enter one fight, even if you end up writing songs for all of this week's titles. It's probably poor form to give people more time to listen to your entry than everyone else in the fight.

Case in point: When I did my album-a-day with Octothorpe, we wrote songs for all of the titles that were up that week, but we only posted an entry for the <a href="http://www.songfight.org/songpage.php?k ... ize">"Bite Size" fight</a>.

ROCK!

I think I can do 40 songs in a week.

I made my page. It's right here!

38 minutes until go time. Doing housework so I won't start working on songs before 9.

ROCK!

So it'd be bad form to collaborate any which way on a 35-minute song, eh?

Well, uh.. I think I'm in, even if it means a hastily-written 34-minute instrumental.

Here's a Web site, since everyone else is doing it.

I don't have a special page, but I do have a weblog. Eventually it'll have it's own little album space on my music page. But for now, it's down to just the weblog.

So... I guess I should be frantically working on songs, but I'm kinda sleepy and I'm wondering if I should sleep and dream up some ideas first instead.

I'm not usually very good at writing/recording when I'm tired, but you might be. If it were me, I'd drink lots of water, go to sleep "early", and maybe wake up without an alarm at night after a sleep cycle. Then recount what happens in my dream, write down whatever might be useful in a song, and head back to sleep.

But that's me.

I had a weird dream last night. I was in a creepy house, and there was this rusty door ... I decided to open it, and before me lay a massive room - with a small, disgusting toilet full of carpet in the center. I flushed it and it sprayed me in the face. True story. I should totally write about it. Maybe it should be some sort of a representative song or something like Space Dye Vest.

This could be an official Songfight thing, so it could be in place of the actual fights for about 3 weeks. There could be like 5 titles a week, and the favorites (not neccessarily by votes) could be put on a cd and people could buy it. This probably is just a dumb pipe dream of mine, but I think it could be pretty awesome if there was some work put into it.

You're a real "ideas man", aren't you Jolly Roger!

Well, Nur Ein was a good one - so good luck to you.

BTW, 'Album IN a week' surely. 'Album a week' implies you're doing more than one album, one per week.

I aspire to this level of pedantry. Kudos.

You should hear me on 'it's' & 'its'.

I'm in.

EDIT: And I'm out. Life has thrown itself right in the path of this little project. Any album I even had time to record this week would be sloppy and seething with rage. Which, come to think of it, might be an improvement. Nonetheless, it ain't gonna happen.

mr_lostman · Post by **mr_lostman** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 7:46 am

Just a quick question. Where do the "twists for fun" come in? Were the twists the rules? Or are we gonna make more.... like there has to be an instrumental track... or a kazoo solo.... or there must be at least one track with studio banter in it.....

those are awful i know. Just wondering when the "WTF[F]" would come in.

Bjam · Post by **Bjam** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 8:50 am

I guess Songfighters(who are not making the albums) can just start throwing out optional challenges.

You could use a similar argument for <a href="http://crapart.spacebar.org/aad/">'Album-a-day'</a>, I would think.

#1: Write a song called "In the Desert" -or- "In the Dessert." Know which one you should use for your title.

#2: Don't use the notes C or F# anywhere in the song. Not in the melody. Not in the chords.
