courtesy of @idiopathicsmile who wrote an amazing space folk song, @animatedamerican who reblogged said amazing space folk song, the guy at the pub sing last weekend who sang Banks of Claudy, and whoever posted this on LJ, probably at Balladeers, so many years ago: one of my favorite filks. Broken Token IN SPACE!
I do love this song.

I meant to upload something else but found this? @filkyeahfilk did I find an ancient relic or something else?
You could well have. I don’t actually know the relative scarcity of filk cassette cover art, but that is a neat drawing (and some very good music).
Fair Lady Atlantia – Efenwealt Wystle
Fair Lady Atlantia, she rides upon the wind
The bravest of warriors, and the poet’s friend
Though I’ve traveled for many days
She never seems so far away
Fair Lady Atlantia, my lady by the sea
A song about North Carolina…or the SCA version of North Carolina. “Fair Lady Atlantia,” by Efenwealt Wystle.
Jedi Drinking Song – Brobdingnagian Bards
Exactly what it says on the tin, a Jedi Drinking Song from the Brobdingnagian Bards.

Omg I can't believe this blog exists I'm so happy I love filk music so much but I kinda thought I was alone and omfg thank you so much for existing On a side note have you posted/could you post Confusions from Lovers, Lore and Loss? I used to have it but after moving and a couple computer crashes I can't find it anywhere!
YOU’RE NOT ALONE, THERE ARE LIKE A WHOLE SIX OF US
unfortunately, I don’t have that album, and I haven’t been able to find it
however, there are a few people following me that have been filking a lot longer than I have and have much more impressive music stashes, and I’m hoping one of them will see this and be able to help
In Flight – idiopathicsmile
so @paticmak made this lovely drawing/animation of “poe singing space folk songs to the other resistance pilots” and then @soemily activated the SPACE-SIGNALING BEACON OF WRITE A SPACE FOLK SONG
this one turned out like 50% space folk song, 50% blindsided by poe dameron feelings. (surely you, the internet, understand.)
downloadable link here, lyrics below the cut:
THIS IS WHAT I LIVE FOR
I rewatched inside llewyn davis cause of @felloart yesterday, and then i had a dream about poe singing space folk songs to the other resistance pilots…. so now you can have this stupid gif.
THIS ISN’T STRICTLY RELEVANT BUT
Black Widows in the Privy – Julia Ecklar
Everyone knows someone we’d be better off without
But best not mention names for we don’t know who’s about
But why commit a murder and risk the fire’s of hell
When black widows in the privy can do it just as well

A Serious Business – Meg Davis
My computer died several weeks ago and I lost all my musical and artistic files. I got a new computer and am re-importing all of my cds, but it’s a slow process due to having to FIND those cds.
This is one song I have been unable to find anywhere, so here you go.
