Re: Nur Ein XIII Round Five "Hazardous Waste"

There is no definition of “hazardous waste” under the Waste Reduction and Recycling Act 2011 or the Environmental Protection Regulation 2008. Can we change the title to “Regulated Waste”? Thanks. The EPA has defined 'hazardous waste" under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (known as &...

Re: Nur Ein XIII: Songs and Scores (no comments)

Good news for Vom Vorton who has won the week: you now have the chance to attempt back to back wins as there is no more immunity!

Nick Soma, Inflatable Vegetables, Matchy Matchy and Cavedwellers (see Roymond's post for explanation of how we handled the tie) have been eliminated. Tschüss!

Re: Nur Ein XIII Round Three "We Should"

My idea of a household item is something that is reasonably accepted as found and used in a home that is not primarily used to make music with.

My esteemed fellow judges may choose to agree, disagree and/or further opine on the topic. ;)

Re: Nur Ein XIII Round One "Internet Sensation"

Thoughts on Round One songs from a Nur Ein judge who may or may not be bitter, disgruntled and totally unaccountable. ;) Seriously though, as I already said, this was a good round and I liked several songs more than their rankings really indicate because the competition is so stiff. BMac - This is a...

Re: Nur Ein XIII Round One "Internet Sensation"

Great round everyone! Again it was very hard for me to score and the lower end of my rankings will not reflect how much I actually liked those songs. I’m still listening to them today and there isn’t one I want to skip past, so congratulations all of you!

Re: Nur Ein XIII Round One "Internet Sensation"

Just wanted to give a heads-up: I'm dropping out. I was already massively stretched for time, and when I was singing late last night I managed to injure myself, so I'm rocking a down-deep vocal cord pain that kept me up and hasn't faded much today. Better to give it up than to cause myself more inj...

Re: Nur Ein XIII Round Zero "Trial By Fire"

Overall, I really enjoyed the songs for round zero and so even though a song may have ranked on the lower end of the scale doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. Actually, this was a round where I listened to the songs in repeat succession for a couple of days whenever I was in my office and I am pleased a...

You all made this a difficult round to score - thank you! I've been listening to the round zero tunes non-stop for the last day and a half and I'm still enjoying them. Well done!

I'm excited to be back as a judge and happy to help out with the social media Niv - text me what you need me to do because I suck at remembering to check the boards until we are in full competition mode.

Re: Nur Ein IX- Round Three

Great round everyone! This was insanely hard to judge because I honestly liked every song and really hated having to rank songs I liked for potential elimination. You've created some amazing music here, thanks! I look forward to seeing what next week brings.

Re: Nur Ein IX- Round One

I thought this was a round full of above-average songs, to the point where I wound up giving low scores to songs I actually liked just because of how many other songs this week I liked more. Excellent work from everyone this week. I wanted to call out to Chocolate Chips, Rabid G, Levittdown, and BY...

Baby steps Niv. You've got me here poking around and now writing again. I'm sure I'll stop using the bass as an additional closet shelf eventually. ;)

Re: Nur Ein VIII- Round Four

Well said Niveous!

My own two cents as far as what I will consider "metal" is anything that strikes me as metal. There's a wide range there and I love having more to choose from.

I had hoped to have my reviews finished and posted tonight but life intervened this week. They're almost done and should be up at some point tomorrow.

Thanks for a fun, first challenge everyone!
