KateGladstone on Bedtime Stories at Fri 5 Feb 3:13 AM:
"Thanks -- it turns out that the crash occurs in the Chrome browser but *nit* in Firefox (where the sheet-music displays correctly)."

pmills on Bedtime Stories at Thu 4 Feb 12:16 PM:
"To KateGladstone: Clicking the "View Lyrics" button should get you a PDF downloaded (or displayed, depending on browser). I've changed the link to a newer server that I'm using, but the results for me are the same either way. It's http://filk.philmills.ca/BedtimeStories.pdf in case the button still fails you."

KateGladstone on Bedtime Stories at Wed 3 Feb 3:08 PM:
"When I click the "View Lyrics" button for this song, a blank lyrics-page pops up for about half a second and then magically disappears. Could you please see if you accidentally put some kind of problematic link into the lyrics page that would crash it?"

Dave.IIRC on The Face on Mars at Sat 30 Jan 7:40 PM:
"I love this song, + Tom & Dave's harmonies. And since I've got a fragment stuck in my head (Pioneers, full of grace/let's return from Earth to Space!) I might as well go whole-hog."

hms42 on Mad Science Café at Sat 30 Jan 4:28 AM:
"The link is to Brooke Lunderville's page at http://catfish.dhs.org/~happyfish/filk/ That is where the extras are coming from."

Radio outage
Update by gk2009-11-18 15:46:29

Thanks to Phillip Mills for pointing out that the FilkArchive radio was down - looks as if an upgrade I ran on the box managed to confuse the radio software I use. Should be up again now - sorry about the outage.

Pegasus Awards 2009
Update by gk2009-10-09 14:30:38

My usual article to pick up which of the Pegasus Awards songs can be heard on this site. Although of course clips for all songs and performers in the final ballot can be heard on the Pegasus site itself, some of the versions on here are either live recordings or covers by other performers, and can give another point of view before you vote (which of course, if you're a member of the filk community, you are going to...aren't you?)! I have listed all nominations this year, even those not on the site, just so that no-one thinks I'm trying to influence voting or anything stupid.

Updated 9.10.09 - more links added.

Best FilkSong:

  • Gabriel Gray's song - Batya Wittenberg
  • One Small Boat - Marilisa Valtazanou (not on site)
  • Take It Back - Kathleen Sloan
  • A Thousand Ships - Katy Dröge-Macdonald /Ju Honisch (also here, performed by Erica Neely
  • The Wreck of the Crash of the Easthill Mining Disaster - Brooke Lunderville

    Best Classic Filk Song:

  • Chess - Juanita Coulson (not on site)
  • Mad Scientist's Love Song - Gary McGath
  • Spiral Dance - Dr. Anne Prather (also here, performed by Kathy Mar, Kristoph Klover & Kathleen Sloan
  • Starship & Haiku - Kathy Mar (not on site)
  • Still Catch the Tide - Talis Kimberley (this isn't Talis' version, which I don't have, but one performed by the Split Level Band)

    Best Performer and Best Writer/Composer - just use the search field and see what you get!

    A Little Bit Country:

  • Feygrass - Scott Snyder (not on site)
  • I Can't Get Over You, So... - Nate Bucklin
  • Redneck Pagan - Larry Kirby
  • Stray Dog Man - Bill Sutton (not on site)
  • Truck Drivin' Vampire- Michael Longcor (not on site)

    A Little Bit Rock and Roll:

  • Come to Mordor - Jeff Bohnhoff (not on site)
  • Das Über Tuber - Rand Bellavia / Adam English (not on site)
  • Fluorine Atom - Paul Estin
  • Howl at the Moon - Tim & Annie Walker (not on site)
  • Six-String Love - Vixy & Tony (not on site)

    Have fun listening!

  • Pegasus awards time again!
    Update by gk2008-09-02 15:46:08

    Although the Pegasus Awards site already has samples of each song, I always publish links to those that are also on FilkArchive - in many cases, these include different versions to those on the Pegasus site and give people a chance to listen to a different version of a song. For whatever reason, there's not actually that many links this year - I need to encourage a few more people to get songs on the site!

    Best Filk Song - nothing on the archive

    Best Classic Filk Song - nothing on the archive

    Best Performer- Vixy and Tony are playing one song: The Livejournal Shanty

    Best Writer/Composer: We have several songs for some nominees, so I'll just give you the searches:
    Barry Childs-Helton
    Ju Honisch
    Brooke Lunderville
    Seanan McGuire
    Benjamin Newman

    Best Tragedy Song - just one: The Wreck of the Crash of the Easthill Mining Disaster

    Best Comedy Song - just one: Close Your Eyes (also here as performed by Dandelion Wine)

    Anyone who has a recording of one of the nominated songs (and permission to post it) - I'd love to be able to update the list with more entries!

    Apologies for outage
    Update by gk2008-05-08 09:00:01

    My apologies for the FilkArchive outage on Sunday 4th - the primary router into my network decided to die, and since it picked a Sunday to do it it took a little longer to sort. We were up again on the backup router by 8pm that evening. Sorry to anyone who was inconvenienced.

    We're back
    Update by gk2007-10-24 12:55:18

    The plan was obviously sufficiently cunning....
