"Hey, not bad! I like the simple but effective use of the background voices/drone (hmm is that voice or synth??) Not loving the synth voice on the break but hey, I'm betting you don't have a lot of equipment at your disposal just now. But I really like your voice and overall I like the recording a lot. Anyway - thanks. Good luck!!!"

Kay Shapero on Come In, Come In at Mon 5 Dec 8:00 AM:
"Nice one - bright, cheerful and bouncy!"

RLMorrison on I Have Come To Take My Boy Home at Fri 11 Nov 10:06 PM:

2011 Pegasis Nominations on the archive.
Update by hms422011-10-23 01:29:46

Our annual 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.

  • Livejournal update now fixed
    Update by gk2011-08-11 13:22:40

    We don't seem to have been updating the filkarchive livejournal account whenever a new song is posted for quite some time. On investigation, it looks as if the account had been locked for some reason - after requesting a password change, it works fine, and the backlogged song updates have now been posted. We apologise for the inconvenience!

    We're also looking at doing a Twitter feed for those who would rather get updates that way, and possibly also an opt-in email update service - we'll keep you posted on the progress of those.

    FilkArchive outage due to hardware failure
    Update by gk2011-03-23 13:32:32

    The management would like to apologise for a FilkArchive outage - thanks to Marc G for spotting it faster than anyone else and reporting in. We traced the problem to a hardware issue on the server, caused by a faulty memory DIMM - for now we've just removed the DIMM and kicked the server back up, as it should be able to manage on the memory it has. If we start getting performance issues, I'll replace the DIMM. Our apologies again for the outage.
