The Song Fight Bulletin Board

Caravan Ray wrote:(and even more scary that some of the people that have met me have assigned me a song about a man with some sort of metallic anus - ...Albatross/RG - I do have some ideas for that one )

He's sort of a cross between Mad Max and Jerry Reed. And yours truly, when I'm behind the wheel and have miles to go before I sleep, heh.

Caravan Ray wrote:Oh - and Sausage Boy - your link didn't work for me - I only got 10 seconds of song. Is that a problem for everyone or just me?

It should be longer than that, but perhaps the gods mercifully spared you from listening to such drivel. If you do wish to listen to such drivel, let me know. I'll email it to you.

Ha ha! That's definitely going on a 'to do' list. All sorts of possibilities with that one. Don't know when, but...

Looking forward to it.

I made this list with very careful consideration. Some are challenges (as in, I wouldn't know where to start to make a cover) and some would probably be pretty easy. Some kinda match the style of the artist; others would necessitate a large breach from the norm. But basically, I think every one of these would be pretty good, or at least interesting.

15-16 Puzzle: "Up All Night" by Phunt Your Friends
Andre was Here at Midnight: "Fool In The Middle"

Yo sp00n!

I know you already got an excellent track from TMK, but I went ahead and made a stocking stuffer: Jesus on the Intercom

And here's one for Mr. Case: I Hate You

Needless to say to anyone who's heard the original, this one is mostly just a bunch of screwing around. Fun to make though, and possibly even fun to listen to.

I'm a bit disappointed that Mogosagatai's Sp00n cover is better than my official one, but I am loving it, very ethereal.

my list;

Weasel Slayer - April Morning With A Peach
Plat - Applesauce Baptism
Caravan Ray - Evan is getting his teeth
Paco Del Stinko - The Stink
A bebop a rebop - Too Far Away
Glenn Case - Covered in Bugs (Carpetburn)
Mogosagatai - She Gave Up (carpetburn)
Ken’s Super Duper Band ‘n Stuff - Capsaicin (Carpetburn)
Jim Tyrrell - Rhymes with Lucia (Carpetburn)
Lunkhead - The Red Door
Steve Durand - No Really
jb - Onomatopoeia
Leaf - She Gave Up (Carpetburn)
15-16 Puzzle - Control Yourself
Bjam - Shoot for Tuesday
(Jolly Roger - What's wrong with People (Carpetburn))
Ross Durand - Far From Sucking
Dan-O from Five-O - Red Door
Kill Me Sarah - No Really
Stueym - The Stink
Starfinger - Evan is getting his teeth
spoon - We are perfect in our dreams
Feldspar - Don't Think I Don't Miss You

Marcus Kellis - Leaf Blower
Sausage Boy - 5 Nights in Britain
Jeff Robertson - Half Hearted Stab (Contaminated Land Team)

I was doing this on the quiet as I wasn't sure if it was good form to make it public knowledge, but here are links to the first three and expect more to come...

Rabid Garfunkel (Albatross) is next on the list...

I'd just like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in this, it's been an absolute joy, and to thank Ken especially for organising the whole shebang and JB for overseeing it, and Furry Pedro for such a wonderful interpretation and Mogosagatai for a brilliantly atmosperic version and just everyone... (God, I'm gushing, now I know how Halle Berry felt!)

All the best, Nigel (spOOn).

No assignment for me, Jim?

I must have missed you. Well, clearly, you didn't get me anyway. But if you really want one, I can think on it.

If <i>you</i> want one, that is. I'm doing every one that gets posted, or so I tell myself. I think sp00n has the same idea.

I'm doing the ones posted also. I am in the middle of Caravan Ray's song, but that's the first one on the long list! I'm not good with the start-stop-restart approach. Time to take a break from entering the weekly fights, I suppose. (good news to many, I'm sure!)

Since we appear to be in the middle of a coverfight free-for-all maybe now would be a good time to draw people's attention to my empty stocking (not wanting to make my coverer feel guilty, I'm sure there are extenuating circumstances). Just fancied taking advantage of whatever charity happens to be floating around .

In the meantime I might as well take this opportunity to let out my version of Luke Henley's Scarab Beetle Found Under a Rough Desert Rock that I did ages ago and kept to myself because it had some of my worst singing ever on it. The only thing that has changed since then is that my standards have dropped.

YES! Wow, I commend you for tackling my fucked sense of rhythm. I'm beaming over here.

Dude although you're currently 16th on my list, I should be starting numero cinco this weekend, and also although I won't do as good a job as many others, I can asure you it will be done...

...also I'm pretty sure that before the years out your stocking will be more than stuffed!

When you've all finished friggin' each other off, can we have the boards back?

awww, somebody needs a cover.

Haven't you learned by now that I'm an exhibitionist?

Dear Ross Durand: I took some liberties with your song.

I'm looking forward to hearing it, but this link doesn't seem to be working for me.
