Now that the round is over, I can reveal that our sample of Neko Case singing "The shadow" is actually a mondegreen. Too late after I'd set down the path of using that sample did I realize the words "the shadow" made no sense in the context of the original line she was singing. So I looked up the ly...

Sam, stop trying to apply logic to the judging. Have you learned nothing in your 150 years of competing in Nur Ein!?!?

Nothing, frank. I have clearly learned nothing.

Thanks for writing reviews. I'm feeling a little confused because I'm having a hard time squaring away the reviews with the rankings that were attributed to you here: https://www.songfight.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=210277#p210277 Did the rankings get attributed to the correct judges in that table? ...

Yeah, I'd check it out too! There's free food there too right?!

Awesome. So far Micah has suggested "Curds and Chords" for the name. Anyone have any other suggestions or shall we go with that?

I somehow only saw this just now. I think that is great!

Also, yay frank!

BSS: Reminds me of : Weezer In a: good way. Performances : All very good. Some minor timing issues here and there, but things that would likely not make it to a final mix if this wasn't on a deadline for songfight. Bass stood out for me, I love lines like that. I'm not big on midrange tuned snares ...

You know what this song could use? More autotune! And some more soulful wailing!

LOL! Maybe it could really use a I V vi IV chord progression too!

Glen, is one of your massive spreadsheets one that contains every review any song you've contributed to has ever gotten on the boards? Or do you collect them all in your master spreadsheet of all the songs?

Funny how they don't talk about how the songwriters are actually the ones making the money...

Looks like basically the TV equivalent of the bullshit pop music featured in the show. I threw up in my mouth too. Ugh.

Now _that's_ what I call music! :baaaaaarrrrrfffffff:

Thanks again for creating the review review, again.

Oh man, that sounds so super duper frustrating. Sorry to hear that! We've all been there, it is no fun. Feel free to submit late if you change your mind.

The snap thing, I don't know why they made it so that's the way people use the glove. In the comics, it was never like that. The snap was a gesture, but anybody with the stones can use them just by doing whatever. That seemed dumbed down for a mass audience. It gives the filmmakers a visual cue/gest...

OK, something must have been gummed up with the fightmaster email. I just got a bunch of messages showing up starting with yours from last night at 8:19pm my time. Weird! I've now replied to all the folks whose songs I've seen so far. If you didn't get a reply from me try submitting again when you h...

The deadline is neigh and I haven't yet received a single song. :/ Is everybody too busy with Nur Ein or something?

Color Me Red by Merisan Color me red That’s just what she said As she paints her lips And sits at the edge of a bed The devil fills up From a golden cup And he knows just what Poor soul’s had enough sample of Sam Beam from Iron and Wine There's no rest in the shadows sample of Neko Case responding ...

I tried wireless headphones for tracking and mixing a long time ago, maybe 10 years. The batteries on the particular pair I got never lasted long enough for a real recording and mixing session for me. And the sound quality wasn't really there. Nowadays there's a version of my main home recording/mix...

Wow, no thread for this one yet?!?! I guess it makes sense since I start all the TV/movie threads these days and I only just got around to seeing it tonight. Anybody else seen it? I thought it was long, very long, but also pretty good. It's fitting in to the whole development of the MCU well.

Thanks fluffy!

This doesn't really apply to the Merisan song but, I feel like it sort of sucks for the folks who were really dissing but just didn't happen to name their target, when it turns out, with it not being told to us up front, that not doing so seems to have been counted against some folks by at least a c...

It's clearly three measures of 4/4 and one measure of 5/4. :troll-face: I didn't even listen to the song and I know this is probably true. No-one serious writes in 17/4. That's just silly. EDIT: Okay, I actually listened to it. It's 3/4 x 2, 2/4, 3/4 x3. That's how an editor would prepare it for pu...

It's clearly three measures of 4/4 and one measure of 5/4. :troll-face:

Wow, so much disappointing writing with really out-of-left-field turns for core characters. They've been putting on some amazing spectacle though. Just one episode left!
