"I really enjoyed Kathleen's performance of this song at ConCertino 2009, and promptly ran to FilkArchive. Thanks for uploading, Harold!"

"chuckiehina! I can't tell you how much your comment means to Roxie and I. It's been one of her favorite filks since childhood and, as you point out, as "old Star Wars" it has fallen out of favor and isn't performed often enough. So, we hoped others would be pleased to hear it again and have it for their personal filk collections. It was our specific motivation for recording it, and you have validated our effort with your words. Thank you for your flattering and gratifying comment. "May the filk be with you!" -Bill-"

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....

FilkArchive outage
Update by gk2007-10-23 17:29:47

FilkArchive will be out from 9am to 12:30pm GMT (10:00 to 13:30 UK BST) tomorrow due to a planned power outage. If it doesn't come back up, then it wasn't a very well planned power outage...

Pegasus nominee songs on FilkArchive
Update by gk2007-09-10 10:11:32

It's Pegasus awards time again - although the Pegasus site itself has samples of the songs, for anyone who wants a different rendition of some of the songs that have been nominated, the following ones are available on the site, broken down by category:

A Thousand Ships(Juliane Honisch and Katy Droege-Macdonald)

Still catch the tide(Talis Kimberley, as performed by the Split Level Band)
Ship of Stone(Don Simpson, as performed by Bill Mills)

Home(Rand Bellavia and Adam English, as performed by Simon Fairbourn and Tim Walker)
Lullabye aka Home is Wherever(Anne Passovoy, as performed by Talis Kimberley, Simon Fairbourn and Alan Thiesen)
Will Ye Come Back Home?(Mike Richards - also here, as performed by Martin and Andy GK)

Obviously, if anyone has any of the other nominee songs in MP3 format and has permission to post them, we'd love to have them on the site. Good luck to all the nominees.
