A Member of the Rabble – Rockthrow


I heard this at Minicon last April and thought it was hilarious.  Some good wordplay, and a bit close to home.  This is on my list of “I should figure out the chords to this because I want to sing it myself, but I am just so bad at that I guess I’ll put it off indefinitely.”
“A Member of the Rabble,” by Kevin Brixius, performed by Rockthrow

Cold Iron -Leslie Fish

Gold is for the mistress – silver for the maid –
Copper for the craftsman, cunning at his trade.
“Good!”  said the Baron, sitting in his hall,
“But Iron – Cold Iron – is master of them all.”

Rudyard Kipling’s “Cold Iron,” set and sung by Leslie Fish
This was requested, and I’m kind of surprised I hadn’t posted it before; it’s one of my favorite Fish/Kiplings.  Kipplefishes?  Fishlings.

You Can't Bring Your iPod to Hogwarts – Tickle the Pear


This song came up on the Pegasus Awards brainstorming poll for Best Filk Song this year, which I say first to encourage you to listen to it, and second because the singer is a self-described Wrocker, and I’m always interested in exactly where the overlap between filk and Wrock sits.
Anyway, she makes a fair point.  You can’t bring your iPod to Hogwarts.
