The Song Fight Bulletin Board

To the relief of many people, my medical degree has been taken away for failing to get my prognosis right. I was down pretty much all weekend. My voice is returning somewhat today. I'll give it a go tonight and hope for one take wonders. Sorry for the delay.

Hello. Yeah, it's been a while, but unfortunately I will be delayed a bit longer. I had to dock a little ways up the coast due to some unexpectedly choppy seas last week. Hopefully after a few repairs, I'll be out on the water with the wind in my sails for a smooth voyage back to the harbor. So, as much as I had been thinking each day since Friday that I'd really love to see you tonight, it will have to be sometime later this week.

My apologies for the delay. And the above.

The elements for Christopher Case are all recorded, we're just trying to figure out how to get them to in one place so the magic of Case can assemble them and make them awesome. I am all yacht and he is the rock.

I am anxiously awaiting some free time to finish the cover we're working on, especially since Glenn got this sidefight mentioned on the blog of Koko's ghost:

Sweet! I hadn't seen this yet!

I have now expressed my thanks to the ghost of the great Koko Goldstein. His approval of this project makes the whole venture worthwhile.

ROCK!

Glenn Case

Damn, Rachael and Glenn!

So, I go to this downtown gym to swim. The women's changing room is right next to the aerobics room and you can hear the music coming through the walls. Tonight there was a step class going on, and as the Hi-NRG music thumped away, my ears perked up at a familiar strain.... I struggled momentarily to comprehend the strange juxtaposition of a beloved voice rising over the 200bpm din....Yes! it was our beloved Mr. McDonald. Yes, Virginia, there is an aerobics-ready dance mix of "What a Fool Believes." I haven't been this happy since I discovered the Bollywood version of "Karma Chameleon"!!!

I couldn't find it online, but i DID find this one!

Chris just sent me the vocals for Sailing. I am awestruck.

I can not WAIT to share this one with you guys, but I HAVE to. I can't release this one without tweaking a few things first.

All I can say is... WOW!

ROCK!

Glenn Case

Damn, Jefff!

The mixdown may not be perfect, but I have to share this with you guys tonight, because I am blown away with how good Chris did the vocals for this.

ROCK!

Youre guitar and bass are the highlight. I could have done better in a few spots. Either way, I'm pretty proud of it!

Hi-5!

Wow... awesome guys, nice work.

EDIT: Maybe that should go on the Team Seahorse MySpace profile?

*Hi-5 indeed!*

Also: Are you kidding me?!?! These vocals are so good that it makes my vocals from all of my other Yacht Rock covers sound like ass to my ears in comparison. I am half-tempted to re-record all of my vocals as a direct result of this recording. I like it that much.

We teamed up good on this one, mojo man. Seriously, I can't stop listening to it. Of course, I need to soon, so I can sleep...

First of all, thank you. Secondly: hmmm... not sure if it would really count as a Team Seahorse song, because it's just two of us. I am actually thinking about snagging Christopher Case at Myspace if it doesn't already exist though...

(EDIT: It didn't exist, but it <a href="http://www.myspace.com/christophercase">does now.</a>)

ROCK!

Glenn Case

I have a lot of favs, but I'd just like to say: Jim Tyrrell! Well done!

Ah, growing up in California in the late 70s... Corvettes and roller skates... rocking out to "Him!"...(I remember that song actually getting a lot of airplay!) Your opening notes take me right back!

There are a lot of big names in YR, but overlooked Rupert Holmes is the essence of Yacht. Is there any other music scene in which he could have possibly survived?

(Actually, I'll bet he'd be a hell of a Songfighter...)

Hey thanks!

Jefff- wow, I meet the previous wows and raise them a wow. This is wow!

Glenn, Jim, Seamus & Evil E - these are all awesome! I'm just getting to listen to some of these at the airport. Now I'm inspired to get mine done.

Jefff, your cover is the shit.

PFM, Glenn- my co-workers have declared your version of Sailing- "Better than the original". Kudos!

I concur.

Everybody's done a great job. I swear I will finish mine some day...

Rinkydink: I loved your version of Can't Smile Without You for the BarryFight, but your Baker Street eclipses it easily. This is glorious. I'm listening to it again right now, with newborn Sean. He likes it too!

Here's my effort. Hope you all like it.

Word up! I'm loving this.
