Can't wait to hear to hear these. But have also been meaning to say that i have really appreciated being in this ein. I actually entered round zero last mi ute and was unsure whether i had the enrgy to commit but have really appreciated the creative pressure and have been proud of what i produced. Thanks to everyone, especially the judges. But this has been so civil and interesting.

Awesome ein!

We have an awesome song. If there's anyone who can match us it's Paco. I have nothing but love and respect for Paco. I look forward to hearing what he has in store for us! This was indeed a very civil Nur Ein! Lots of excellent music, everyone at their best doing some of their best music. I thought the challenges were tough, but that's a good thing. Thanks to the judges! Thanks to the contestants! May the best song win!

Sir, please turn down your radio, there is a delay.

Hey the Nur Ein page says possible 12 points for final round. Isn't it 20 contestants plus 7 judges= 54 possible points (27 minimum if everyone votes).

The 1st page of Nur Ein VI reads (Niveous):
The final stage will be a battle between the two remaining competitors. The vote of the eliminated competitors and the Nur Ein Jury will choose the winner.


So does Spintunes get a vote? I would think so (alternate). Or I guess his vote only counts if it decides the whole thing (breaks any ties).

Does Adam Adamant get a vote? Did you have to enter a song in Round Zero? or just sign up?

I anxiously await the Paco del Stinko song.

NUR EIN !!!!!!!

Great song Paco! Nice final entry!
I think the judges and contestants have a couple of gems to choose between!
I'll be soaking in the 2 of them all day.

Cheers to NUR EIN VI

When is the voting over?

Does Spin get a vote- Yes.
Does AdamAdamant get a vote- Yes. If you were in Round One, you get a vote...even if you shat the bed.
PM me your votes by 3PM eastern tomorrow.

Glen, you are way too kind.

Yeah, I know what this is.

Also: I can't find the songs this time. They aren't up on the EIN site. What am I doing wrong? (About this, that is!)

That would be easier if we could hear the songs. Where are they?

The good news: I think my vocals sit atop the mix better than the WSA track. This allows you to hear and understand them better.
The bad news: I think my vocals sit atop the mix better than the WSA track. This allows you to hear and understand them better.

A lot of tasty layers in your song, guys. They reveal themselves after many listens. As usual, I find your songs to improve with repeated listens. The melodies take a while to settle in versus grabbing you with instant sugar gratification. This isn't to say that they aren't sweet, though. At first I didn't like the multi-textured guitar solos, despite how good they are, but now enjoy them all thoroughly. Whiffs of Jackson 5 (!) in certain guitar rhythms, New Pornographer's vocals as well. Of course, it starts out smelling strongly of Pete, but he doesn't smell all that bad. From over here, anyway. I suspect Melvin and maybe the Friz to be behind the more nostalgic lyrics, them being the more sentimental types. Great stuff, fellas. I won't forget to clap from the 2nd place spot on the podium. :)
