Yeah, well. Making changes is like un-weaving a drat rug. So -- I've updated the current version to be downloadable.

Hope I'm not too late to ruin your enjoyment.

Here it is - the final version. (I went and shut down the other one to make sure you get this one.)

mag7, want me to put up your Dead Skunk song also? It's pretty good.

But the important question is where do I put the poll? Last time we did NMD and got like 8 votes, seemed like a waste of time. Should we go back to GBS? It might get more exposure in GBS even if we have to overdub animal farting noises to get those people's attention.

Come on now - somebody record themselves yodeling or something.

And the poll should be titled, "You won't believe what they did next!"

Just totally rip off the clickbaiters.

I was also wondering if it's now easier to post our songs to youtube with just a photo, and then create a youtube playlist... since the youtube player can be embedded into posts.

If y'all are down with that, I can convert the mp3s to videos if you don't have the software to do it.

I had the same thought about doing a Youtube mix instead of Soundcloud. Would probably make more people click on it. But I'm old and don't know how to do it.

Thread title idea: The 5 worst country songs ever. #3 is my

also, since I made this terrible thread, I suppose I should submit a track also.

If you have mp3s, there are sites that can do it for you:
http://tovid.io/

If you do m4a, (like, if you use iTunes to turn your wav into a smaller file) you can convert it
https://digitalshan.wordpress.com/2011/06/15/uploading-m4a-format-to-youtube/

It appears to be pretty easy.

I just tried it with an old mp3: looks like it do quite good.

Awesome, thanks. But I can't download most of the Soundcloud tracks as mp3s. I guess its settings or something. I'll just make a Soundcloud album and call it good. We all know who's going to win anyways (me)

FYAD is more disciplined and self-moderating than GBS, TBH.

But yeah SA admins officially declared GBS a demilitarized zone a year or two ago. It was amusing for a couple of weeks.

Have we tried PYF yet? That seemed to turn into old GBS when nu-GBS was let loose.

I think we should stick with GBS for now. Though they're not the ideal audience by any stretch of the imagination, they're still a very large audience. And if the jerk quotient seemed higher than usual this time around, that really might be down to the theme, which was pretty divisive even for the participants.

Theme ideas that I always liked but never quite materialized AFAIK:
  • A royalty/aristocracy theme, i.e. songs with queens, kings, princes, dukes, etc. in the title or lyrics.
  • Covers of a specific pop/rock superstar with a ton of hits to choose from, e.g. Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna, Dylan, Springsteen, U2, etc. (We've done Elvis and Bowie, and the latter in particular was hugely successful.)

What would you think about the following:
-Since it's summer and the weather is nice, songs about nature or the outdoors or animals. Rockstar: All Natural
-Songs with people's names in them. Rockstar: Say My Name, Say My Name (Has this been done before?)
