Current Status
As of mid 2012, Song Fight! has conducted more than 650 fights and is host to more than 9500 entries.
"Cover art" is also accepted for each fight, though it is not a separate "art fight" in that no voting process occurs. The submission of fight art is considered more of a service than a competition. Fight art is a reference to the earliest days of Song Fight!, when Explodingdog artist Sam Brown produced much of the artwork for each week's fight. There is also an archive of all submitted artwork.
While Song Fight! remains the center of the community, peripheral sites have sprung up within the Song Fight! "network", perhaps most notably somesongs.org, a site that connects users to amateur recording artists' original works while maintaining a rating and comment system for the benefit of both parties. somesongs.org was created and originally administered by Jeff Fal of Add, another prolific Song Fight! contributor. Additionally, there have been a number of so-called "side fights," where members of the community record songs on a theme or rerecord each others' music.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or status:
“It is not however, adulthood itself, but parenthood that forms the glass shroud of memory. For there is an interesting quirk in the memory of women. At 30, women see their adolescence quite clearly. At 30 a woman’s adolescence remains a facet fitting into her current self.... At 40, however, memories of adolescence are blurred. Women of this age look much more to their earlier childhood for memories of themselves and of their mothers. This links up to her typical parenting phase.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
“At all events, as she, Ulster, cannot have the status quo, nothing remains for her but complete union or the most extreme form of Home Rule; that is, separation from both England and Ireland.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
