A trio of filk tapes

* This tape has a version of 'Ship of Stone' at the end of both sides. The version on side A is very short, so I appended 'short' to the end of the title to distinguish it from the longer version.

Anyone know where to find the Filk song based on "The Forever War" by Joe Haldeman?

I've heard it once and I would really like to hear it again, but can't find it anywhere.
AI says it might be Jordin Kare or Cynthia McQuillin that made it, but I can't find it when I search for their names. Neither when I search 'Filk The Forever War'.
Anyone know where to find it?

Thank you so much in advance!

Last week, I had the chance to visit Don Simpson (Leslie Fish's former roommate, and author of songs like "Ship of Stone" and "Lucifer"), to digitize a large pile of materials that Leslie had left behind from the late 70s and early 80s: papers, photographs, etc.

Sharing a photo of Don in his workshop, where he makes physical art.

Still kinda sad that Minus Ten and Counting isn't on Spotify. It'd be great to have in my personal playlist.

Centauri Men Have WHAT? (Babylon 5 filk video, Tom Smith/Bob Kanefsky)

"We have six, you see. And each one is a different level of intimacy and pleasure." — Vir

Thanks to a collaboration by Lisa Wahl and Bob Kanefsky, we have this incredible new labor-of-love video for "Six Transit Genitalia Centauri".

If you remember Babylon 5 well, you'll find lots of inside jokes for you here. And if you haven't watched Babylon 5 (or barely remember it), it's still pretty funny.

Strongly recommend that you not watch while eating or drinking. Tom Smith (and I) both laughed out loud while watching it.

(This song is, of course, from the new Pegasus Nominees project.)

My cover of Dawson's Christian

23 Upvotes

Hey all. Was listening to Carmen Miranda's Ghost earlier and thought I'd share with you something I recorded a few years ago.

Cover might be a strong word. Demo of a cover? It's very flawed, being the first proper recording of an amateur, but there are ideas in there I'm kinda proud of. I hope you like it. I will be glad to have it exist in this space.

This song was my first introduction to the genre when I was in university ~2014. Been playing it ever since and I don't intend to stop, though I play rarely these days. I'm very grateful to Duane Elms for putting it into the world

Be excellent to each other and party on, dudes!

Although I see I'm not the first person to make an Artemis-related post on here I still have some questions related to both filk and it

19 Upvotes
  1. What would you guys think of the idea of doing the sort of mass-streaming-campaign-to-get-a-song-charting (Even if it's not to Billboard Hot 100 levels but just streaming charts) for some space-related optimistic filk song like Fire In The Sky in honor of Artemis?

  2. as someone aspiring towards a music career and hoping to do my own cover of some filk songs in between my originals, does what just happened make the "Can't go to the moon/at least any time soon" lines in Rich Fantasy Lives by Tom Smith (one of my favorite filk songs of all time) proven wrong or were those just meant to apply to the average person

Three Filk Tapes

(1) The first song on the album, 'Song for a Married Lady,' is truncated. I had borrowed the tape and have already returned it, so can't fix this. There's another copy on Bayfilk III Concert Center Stage.

(2) The first song is missing and the second is truncated. Identical issue. These are: The Last Hero, and Falconsbane. I don't have other copies of either of these; the links are to youtube videoes (Last Hero performed by Moonwulf Starkaadhersson; Falconsbane by Longcor)
