I recently got hold of a recording of my performance in the live fight for Song Fight! Live Boston. Before I do that thing where I link to the tune, a short explanation is probably in order.

Once a year the Song Fight! community decides on a place to have a live show. It’s more like a convention pretending to be a show, however. In 2005 the location was Boston (Somerville, techinically) and the tagline was “Sox and Rock” (a tagline I still hate, I should have voiced more support for “More Than A Feeling”, alas). The title that was announced for the live fight was “I Know My Rights”. The live fight is exactly what it sounds like. Each person or band attending writes a song for the title and performs it at the event one after the other. Then, there is audience voting and a winner is declared. The live fight is in addition to each songfighter performing their own short set of Song Fight! entries they’ve written. This makes for a rather epic event. Eventually, I hope to have a recording of the entire set I performed, which reminds me that I should probably post the one from 2004. Anyway, I wrote a song about a guy who is unsatisfied with his mail-order bride. Enjoy!
