What are your favourite(s) "song wars" songs?
I would probably talk about old features, but I'm a new 6music listener, so can't really do another one.

I loved Joe's song "All Night Garage", Both of their Quantum of Solace songs (If you've saw a video which contains pictures of James bond with Adam's head on top and the song playing in the background on youtube, 'twas made by moi :) )
I loved Garth Jennings Hayfever song aswell, I miss Garth, they should get him back now and again I think :)

I can't remember if it was Adam or Joe that made it but I liked the Joanna Lumley song.

The Public Transport songs were both ace, though I only heard them when I bought Volume 1 off iTunes. Another one where both songs were blinding was the movie title songs one. Adam's 'The Hours' was stuck in my head as I got ready for work this morning...well, the German rap bit was, lol. Love the video he made for that.

Anyone think it would be a good idea to maybe put two old songs up against each other? An adam classic vs. a Joe one. We could make a poll and people could vote. Just a little idea I had in my brainium.

is fine for me. I got the addy of the readme.txt from the mod I have. I'd mail you the mod but I just noticed my phpbb need updating so mod might not work on latest, which you prolly have. (I'm on 3.0.2 and latest is 3.0.4). Just search phpbb for video bbcode if you want to find one yourself.

This board is 3.0.4. I'll do a search for that mod, as I am getting 'Page Load Error' for that URL

Sounds like a good idea.

And yeah putting videos into posts would be a good idea.
