The songs are all in, Ms. Hendricks and the Bards have been given the heads-up to start a’judgin, and the voting shall commence.
Just not as quickly as I expected. Ran into some glitches — my server is more restrictive on scripts than I expected, none of the polls I tried worked, and none of the free flash polls can handle 37 different answers. Also found out today that three of the original songs weren’t actually playing on the site, only providing clips (they worked for me, since I uploaded them, so I hadn’t noticed).
So. I’m in the process of setting up the songs on a different host so everyone can hear all the songs, and by Saturday I’ll have the new poll set up for voting.
In the meantime I’ve got all the songs on a CD I’ve been listening to since the weekend and I’m loving it. Just what I was hoping for when I started this: a wide range of great sogns about my favorite conniving redhead. Sigh. Headaches or not, I’m doing more of these contests…
“Sigh. Headaches or not, I’m doing more of these contests…”
YAY!!! While I usually subscribe to the belief that there shouldn’t be competition in music – just different forms of expression – this has been really cool, I guess the competition aspect drives us to work harder. The quality of the submissions has been unreal, and I reckon there’ll be a few more interested muso’s lurking around that will enter the next one. Looking forward to it!
Maybe if the poll was smaller, it would work. Like one for originals and one for filks (which in a way would make some sense, because its different categories)
Tough that would require an extra T-shirt and signed photo (but would also double everyone’s chance of winning)
Hope that helps 🙂
OK now that i’ve seen the amount of each category…. its 10/27 so it won’t help much… unless you’ll treat all the mp3 as oroginals (then you’ll get 13/24 in each poll, and maybe, just maybe, that will allow you to use a less disfunctional poll system that can allow 24 items)
When will we be able to download these so we can burn CDs of our own?
Right now, actually. I uploaded all the MP3s to minorcrisis.net and added links to the entries page.
Either way Chris we give you mad props for this contest and I think I speak for everyone involved when I say THANK YOU!! This has been great fun and I am looking forward to the next one.
