The Song Fight Bulletin Board

FEBRUARY 28th

<a href="http://www.15-16puzzle.com/">15-16 Puzzle</a> - <a href="http://www.songfight.org/music/hotel/15 ... ">Hotel</a>

PHEW! I am finally caught up.

It was time to list another song by the Bob Dylan of songfight, 15-16 Puzzle.

I mean this in a good way, Erik.

15-16 is songfight's resident master lyricist in my personal opinion. Not everyone 'gets' Erik, but those of us who do, understand that the man can write one hell of a song.

Surprising Erik by covering "Hotel" without telling him (even though he was playing bass at the time) is one of my favorite Austin songfight moments.

Duboce Triangle is amongst my favorite songfight acts ever. This song is another example of why.

I didn't MEAN to forget to help you out with the podcast stuff! Honest!

No...really, I do feel bad about accidentally blowing that off. Let me know if I can honestly help out with that at some point, and actually come through this time.

And I'll actually get back to podcasting songfight! At which time I'll be hollerin'. These are great sounds from fights of lore. Brad, then sos's Shreds. It doesn't get much greater than that.

I am too lazy to get this completely caught up today, folks. I will likely work on it again tomorrow.

ROCK!

I can not imagine the word "lazy" and the word "Glenn" in the same sentence... unless it had "not" in it.
