Re: Nur Ein XIX Round Three- "My (blank) are the Best People"
chewmeupspitmeout - that’s a heavy theme. The cohesion of the sample and the music is good, but i don’t feel the title requirement is met. I think you missed the joke in my title. You'd expect a song called "My Family are the Best People" to be a nice song about my loved ones but, in this...

Re: Nur Ein XIX Round Three "My (blank) are the Best People"
My Family are the Best People (shadow) by chewmeupspitmeout (feat. Charles Manson) I originally planned to write some lyrics about someone meeting Charles Manson and being drawn into his cult, interspersed with the samples of Manson. I never quite got them right though, so here's a truncated versio...

Factory Reset by chewmeupspitmeout We're due a factory reset Some time soon Though we tried to change the course It looks like we're doomed We're predisposed to seek out entropy A society beset by apathy We just can't wait for the apocalypse To find us To beat us down Eviscerate and grind us Ambiva...

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Six "Summer Robot"
Wowzers and I thought the last round was tough to rank!

Also, the name of my shadow is incorrectly displayed. It should be chewmeupspitmeout, as opposed to in separate words/capitalised.

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Four "June Moon"
Internal rhymes are fine in my book and I definitely think you can repeat sections etc as I'm way more interested in hearing cool songs than pouring over lyrics hunting for a word that rhymes with a line two verses ago!
