Guess it's time to wash the smell off.

Jar of pickles.

We're veritably soaking in Nur Ein.

This is boring. Somebody start a fight. You all smell!

I'm going to be arbitrary and say a positive thing and a negative thing. I'll also say that I'm not expecting to be in the final round. DJRD +: Winning swagger, playing to your strong voice. -: Unfortunately, it's hard to get into the swagger because that bass line sounds out of rhythm. Frankie Big ...

Yeah, I'm in.

My girlfriend and I are attending. I would like to play some songs.

Second and third listen updates, mostly to make up for not really reviewing DJRD last time: BGM - Can't believe you got eliminated. DJ Ranger Den - I'm not a fan of some of the bluesy flourishes in the vocal. That's personal taste. I like plainer vocal styles. That said, this is a good showcase for ...

I hope not.

A) It's more charming in person.

B) You're not standing up for shit. If WSA didn't meet the challenge, they'll get eliminated. If they don't get eliminated, you were wrong about the challenge, Wikipedia be damned.

Yes, I'm the most down to earth person here, and that is why I'm calling you out on your detachment from reality.

Jesus. It's like Lucy with the football. MG, are you going to be a full bag of dicks in person too?

FYI, I still haven't been able to read your last reviews due to a permission error.

Shit. Dude brought links.

Funny, I would've guessed it was the villanelle that made it feel villanelle-esque.

I wanted to write something about the songs. I forgot to bring my earbuds to work, and if I don't write now I'll forget to later, so I'll just try to remember them from listening in the car yesterday. BGM - God such great harmonies, and your production skills make them shine that much more. For as g...

Manhattan Glutton wrote:I interpreted the challenge to be "make a song to go with a villanelle" not "write a song that incorporates villlanelle-like elements".

I think I did more than the latter and would argue I did the former. But yeah, we'll see.

Gosh I hope choruses are allowed or I'm out. I interpreted the challenge (and clarification) to not forbid additional content, but hey, would it have that Nur Ein charm without anxiety about how the judges will choose to interpret it?

It would be pointless to change the scoring system.

Oh it works just fine for the title.

I knew this wasn't going to a fun read, but thanks for writing it, Niveous. I'm afraid that whatever it is you liked about my music must be something I don't do anymore. I've felt like I've gone for the kill in every song. (Except maybe "Guest".) You'll have to let me know if I ever stumbl...

You mean for all the semen?

Also @CR: I hope the elimination decision doesn't come down to who has the more sweeping Spanish Armada song. Good work, dude.
