Re: Nur Ein XX Round Six "Dark Cove"

That's me out. I have no idea what 5/8 meter is nor how to achieve it - and don't really have time this weekend to bother trying to learn. Also not keen on the obscure regional dialect vocabulary in the title. I didn't even know this was a north americanism, but I would have preferred "pavemen...

Re: Nur Ein XX Round Zero "Get Cooking"

Immunity means exactly that: you are immune from judgement and being cut. Since, traditionally, there are people who submit songs during immunity, there will inevitably be a comparison to those who do not, whether you like it or not. I've done both and have no shame.

Did Max just disqualify himself? I just noticed there was No File and then thought, oh right... Immunity. However, isn't there No Immunity in Round 0? :o
Maybe he’s the Iranian president.

I typo'ed the title as "For" when making the lyric thread, even though in the lyrics I was posting we had the correct "to". I didn't notice I had till Pete's post. I edited it to fix it. My bad!
