“If You Post Spoilers I Will Kill You,” by Kraken Not Stirred with Kari Maaren
This song is relateable and…certainly creative.

Geeky Girls – Eben Brooks
Okay, so I think this song is hilarious. I have no idea if anyone else will think this song is hilarious. It’s something about the combination filk lyrics and the song being filked, which is a weird old ballad about trying to force people to marry you.
…anyway. “Geeky Girls,” by Eben Brooks (from his new album! which can be found here)

Karelia's Song – Master Iolo
I’ve had this song on my mind for a while for no particular reason; it took me some searching to find a recording by the guy who actually wrote it. Apparently it’s going to be in a video game soon, so that’s exciting.
Anyway! A morally ambiguous yet very sweet love song by David Watson, aka Master Iolo, “Karelia’s Song.”
Chords and lyrics available here. Bonus trivia, and as an encouragement to my fellow Awful Guitarists, this is the song that convinced me to learn how to fingerpick and then taught me to do it. Someday I’ll slightly annoy some SCA folks because I learned a tune that’s a tiny bit different.

Never Again – Andrew Heinrich
Well I’ve sailed north to Ireland
I’ve sailed south to France
I’ll sail to the New World
If you give half a chance
But brave as I might be
And bold as I am
I’ll never go drinking
With Michael again!
“Never Again,” by Andrew Heinrich, about someone who has apparently become a bit of a legend in the SCA. The lyrics are here, and you’ll probably need them, since I couldn’t find a clean (free) recording, but they’re also incomplete. They don’t include the “Stairway to Heaven” verse, for instance.

I'll See Your Six – Joe Bethancourt
“I’ll See Your Six,” to the tune of “The Sleeping Scottsman” by Joe Bethancourt, aka Ioseph of Locksley, who passed away a few years ago.
It’s about one SCA member…versus New York City.

Got to Fly – Marian Call
I don’t know how you got the stomach for reality when
You could go circle the stars, you wouldn’t be-lieve where I’ve been
Just this week, I’ve made some freakishly fabulous finds
My corpse has been here, but my mind’s covered miles
I’m cravin’ altitude, so kindly step aside — I got to fly.
“Got to Fly,” by Marian Call
The Feast Song – Ravenboy Music
In honor of deciding not to buy feast at an event in a particular barony. Not naming names but last time I had feast it was no bueno. So here’s to bad feasts everywhere!

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.
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
