Quote from: henwrench on December 07, 2009, 03:05:06 AMI'm beginning to lose track of all these fantastic pirate tunes. How about it, 64? Do you wanna compile our own Rouges Gallery somewhere, put 'em all in one place/one player? Or do you wanna wait 'til we've got a few more?

Let's have a PirateFest in January. We're in the middle of YuleFest now and I don't want to take the focus away from that. When Christmas and New Years are behind us we can focus on PirateFest and I'll make a web page for it.

Quote from: oldrottenhead on January 19, 2010, 02:25:45 PMglen your vox on this is superb another one for the summer jukebox,
are you listening 64guitars can we have a summer jukebox festival thingy to take our minds of the cold

Everybody, put on your thinking caps and come up with some more suggestions for our next festival. Then I'll post a poll so we can all vote on what the next one will be.

To summarise the suggestions so far:

  • ComedyFest
  • PirateFest
  • BowieFest
  • Summer in midwinter

That's a pretty good selection already. But I thought I'd see if we can add a few more before posting the poll.

I'm looking for a theme rather than a name. I think "goofy" would fall under the theme of a ComedyFest, wouldn't it?

Themes could be based on an artist (as in NeilFest, BowieFest, DylanFest), a genre (FolkFest, JazzFest, CountryFest, MetalFest), an era (80sFest, RoaringTwentiesFest), lyrics (ComedyFest), vocal style (a cappella, barbershop, doo wop), etcetera.

This Wikipedia page on Song Forms might trigger some other ideas:

I'm with Geir, its time for a Beatles-fest.  Why not branch it out to Beatles/Rolling Stones fest, that way all the bases are covered.  They were like the two sides of pop in the beginning, they were even promoted as polar opposites, (good vs bad; clean cut vs grungy; popy vs bluesy, etc) yet they were really brothers in arms.  And most folks gravitate to one or the other band naturally.  That would give lots of choice in what songs to pick.  Or get really crazy and say British Invasion fest, although I like the compactness of just Beatles/Stones, still lots of songs to choose from there.

It's gotta be BeatlesFest then StonesFest, IMO they shouldn't be combined.

Thats great, the combination would create a kind of musical anti-matter and open up a black hole that would suck all popular music into.  I never thought of it like that, but yeah, probably right.
