So in the meantime, why not watch my reviews of previous rounds on my YouTube channel?

I just finished my extremely tardy video for MoSF 4 Round 1:

If not, you’re missing out on Insane Ian singing with The Great Luke Ski in the last couple of weeks.

Just thought you’d all (or you all’d) like to know that.

And just to show that I’m not affiliated with the FuMP in any way (other than as a subscriber), I won’t link to it, though I will tell you that it’s thefump.com, so you don’t have to google for it.

It is normally a writing podcast focused on short stories based on a weekly prompt (as per Song Fu), but for a special event they are doing a musical episode. The topic is “Wiener Dogs” and the deadline is August 31st 2009. The folks there are a welcoming crowd, so pop in and give it a shot!

Berg had it from the start. Molly would have put up a fight but seriously the guy got votes like mad every round.. With our without a showdown they deserve the title.

Here’s hoping there’s another one of these and everyone can relax and have fun on it.

P.s. I just got a new job RIGHT at the end of SF3 and honestly it’s all I have time for… hence this super late reply to this that no one will read. Things happen so I def. have no hard feelings toward Molly or anyone else who couldn’t do every round. (sorry… i’m a flake.. i should have done round 2.)

Have a good one!

It is a blast to witness such a diverse crowd of artists going up against each other!

I crave new music more than the average person should, and listening to artists that are new to me is even better! Regardless of the many gripes people may have (whether they are from the voters or the artists themselves), MoSF is a unique competition that let me hear hundreds of songs that never would’ve been created without it, and many of them have enriched my life.

Thanks so much for hosting this event, and Long Live Song Fu!

PS: I’m catching up on my reviews for this season right now. The video for the first round should be done in less than a week. Click on my name to visit my youtube channel.

12:22 EdricHaleen: Any chance there’s any word on a new edition of Masters of Song Fu?

12:26 uncascroogemcd: The last one burned pretty bad. Lot of unfortunateness. I’m regrouping. It left a bad taste in my mouth.

12:37 uncascroogemcd: I am thinking on all fronts about it. I should have an announcement one way or another in the next few weeks.

12:38 uncascroogemcd: And I appreciate your enthusiasm for it – it means a lot.

I forgot to thank our hosts, Ken Plume and QuickStopEntertainment.com. Thanks to Ken Plume for Masters of Song Fu #4. I had a great time and I hope that Godz Poodlz has a chance to compete again in MOSF#5 soon.

I think this community needs a drink. And more cowbell.

It was hard to make out their exact complaint, as their venom had eaten away most of my eardrums. I only had just enough time to cry a pool of tears over the dejection of people not giving my imaginary unwritten songs a second listen before the mob stripped me of my skin and in an orgy of really positive happy fun-lovingness, forced me to eat the poisonous words they had put in my mouth.

So, I’m sorry I couldn’t give you a satisfying payoff to these past two months, but this whole death thing came up and is really filling my schedule.

Love,
Lex Vader

i just want to make it clear that i DO appreciate what Mr. Plume has done with this site. i’m very glad it exists and i think the concept is one that could and should grow, if given proper maintenance.
but it frustrates me to no end that it is being handled so poorly, such that only die-hards are sticking around. Mr. Plume: the way to attract newbies to this great site (and keep them) is to make the site comprehensible, bug-free, and fresh. please, if this is too demanding for your schedule, trust someone else with the site’s maintenance. i only say this because i believe strongly in your concept and want to see it flourish. which is the opposite of what it’s doing now.

Please don’t feel like we take you for granted, even if we’re too lazy to say it.

Without the Fu my repertoire would be several songs lighter. I’ve written 5 official entries, plus a shadow for this round that I didn’t have time to record but I still intend to get around to, not to mention a few extras that came out while I was writing Fu tunes. One of them is one of my Top 5 ever written and I never would have written it without the Fu.

Berg. Don’t worry. I come close to snapping like that all the time. I try to re-read what I’ve written, then I count to 10, and then I click submit if I’m still fuming. You won fair & square – be happy with that.

@Edric: Agreed fully…. I stated above that I was “honored to have worked along side you guys” and I wouldn’t take that back for anything.

Joining Edric’s bandwagon, I also greatly thank Ken Plume for giving us this opportunity to share our musical creativity to a larger audience.

Trust me, no one is more disappointed that Molly didn’t make a song. I am a HUGE fan of Molly…I watched all of her youtube videos, voted for her last song fu, and she inspired me to try out for this competition. So yeah I’m kind of bummed to think that since she skipped out on the competition, she might not have listened to any of My and Jerry’s songs….yeah it stings a little.

Did I expect to win against Molly, no, but I was really excited to be able to go against someone I’ve been listening to for over a year.

Not only that, but it also feels like, despite us putting in our effort, that we were handed the title. So if you think your are disapointed…try being the “winners” of the fourth Song Fu.

I guess we will cross our fingers for Song Fu 5, and I hope that I will see most of you next Fu.

(Jim! Jim! Jim!)

Anticlimactic as this was the final round may have been, the competition was still awesome. I think Song Fu is an amazing idea and am really hoping to join myself in the next round.

Thank you so much Ken Plume for doing this, and PlEASE continue. It’s too awesome an idea to not be in existence.

The best way to make Ken Plume say “eff it” would probably be to repeatedly suggest/imply/allege there won’t be a MoSF#5, though, so maybe it’ll help with that.

Lack of Master attendence is a problem, to be sure, but it’s an unavoidable one. Illness, family emergencies, a paying gig, hilarious guest spots on Scrubs, and whatever else happens. Masters tend to be professionals, and nothing goes better with “professional” than “conflict”.

So anyway, jumping on Edric’s bandwagon, THANK YOU to Ken Plume and QSE for all your work promoting, organizing, and generally providing bandwidth and webspace for a bunch of moody musicians who tend to look a gifthorse in the mouth.

And Berg, please, cool off. The only thing I personally got from Lex’s post (and yes, a “congrats Berg and Jerry” would have been nice and appropriate, without quotes) was that he was disappointed we didn’t get a Molly song. Not really a personal attack. Saying you are cool enough to beat someone in absentia might be. Also saying “nobody listened to” a Fu’er who was in at least the top half of the pack every round gives those of us who placed lower a bit of a stomach ache. So bad sportmanship all around! Including me! Huzzah!

Ken: Bring on round five. I suggest GLaDoS for the master. …..of course, she’s sort of busy… being.. blown up and what not. 😀
