The Song Fight Bulletin Board

Long-time lurker, first-time poster. I haven't actually gotten around to entering any songs yet, but I figure it might prompt me to actually finish something. Yay!

I think the biggest reason I've put off entering forever is that everything I do is ridiculously lo-fi - me playing random instruments and yodeling* into my laptop. I'm kind of production-illiterate compared to all the techo-wizzes here. :S

Also, there don't seem to be a lot of other girls on here. Weird.

I'll try not to suck, I promise!

*not really, thank god.

What a sale! You had us at yodeling... and that's about where you lost us too.

I KEED I KEED, you can't be any worse than...

OK OK OK...I'm done

Welcome to Songfight and I hope my attempts to scare another girl off were unsuccessful.

Man, if I could yodel... well I think I would hate myself.

Thanks for the welcome! You won't scare me off that easily.

Female voices are always welcome. It's definatly a rarity in SF.

Thanks! And haha yeah, that kind of surprised me.

Welcome to Song Fight. Please don't ..... not suck?
We all start here low fi. You should hear my first few entries. I was recording on tape.......cassette tape!

But anyway, people are helpful here if you just ask.

Welcome to SF!

There's Bjam, Rachael Layne, Anti-M and others, not necessarily entering as solo or fronting acts. So join the party. Also, like myself, lots of people drop out for months at a time, then re-enter orbit once life settles down.

And, as has been mentioned, low-fi is very welcome. We often focus too much on production (vs songwriting) but that's just the nature of the beast. But you'll get lots of help and opinions, if you ask.

Welcome!

Lo-fi songs can win, but they have to be remarkable. That one's by a girl, no less.

Dude, pleeeeeeeeeease finish a song, and then at least one more song. This place sooooooooooooooooo needs more lo-fi.

Cassette tapes! I've got a few of those kicking around somewhere. And I also didn't realise that lo-fi was welcome, let alone wanted. That one jb mentioned that won is pretty impressive - I'll try my darndest not to be completely repulsive, okay?

Thanks for the welcome everyone!

I've always loved LML's "two" songs. I wish she'd come back and do some more.

you have to do a binary solo tho, otherwise it will be rejected by the song fight! email monkeys...

Welcome to SF, Aardwolves. Please be awesome.

Every song I enter will have a binary solo... even if it is an inaudible one.

Thanks! I will try to be as awesome as awesomely possible.

So ... you play the saw, eh? That's awesome. My uncle from ontario plays the saw too - it can be really beautiful if done right.

Smoooth, playah.

Yeah, my pickup lines tend to involve my long lost uncles.

We have very few women at Songfight. How odd is it that two of them play the saw? Anti-M is a great saw player as can be heard on x-tokyo-river-god's "Don't Think I Don't Miss You" as well as her own "Other Places That I've Lived".

Wha ...? Anti-M plays the saw? I should check out them tracks.

Rumors of my greatness are vastly overstated. ( ;

Also, welcome to Songfight! Do not sabotage your presence with premature apologies! Looking forward to hearing your stuff!

That is a strange coincidence. I actually only know one other saw player IRL, so it warms my steely heart to know of another one. I will definately check out those tracks when I'm not running late for work. Thanks, guys and gal!
