Re: Nur Ein XIV Round Four "No Memory"
Agony Sauce Again, I’m impressed you’re making this harder on yourself than needed...and still killing it. Good use of the title, and the chiptune sounds fit in perfectly. The only part I didn’t really care for was the break. The less dominate sound just made me cringe. Really enjoyed the story &am...

Re: Nur Ein XIV Round Three "Color Me _____"
For example, your Grumpy Mike review is relatively lukewarm “I’ll have to see how much I enjoy this after repeated listens” Seems written as an initial impression. Maybe he’s the only judge person in the world who gave it a second chance. It was my first impression, and it grew on me as I did my ra...

Re: Nur Ein XIV Round Three "Color Me _____"
Abominominous With your previous songs I struggled to follow the story because of the lyrics. This time I couldn’t understand 90% of your lyrics without reading along on the Song Fight website. The vocals are totally lost in this mix. I enjoyed this more just reading without the MP3. I actually thi...

Re: Nur Ein XIV Round Two "Pump The Brakes"
Before I get to the individual reviews I just want to say that the talent level in this contest is amazing. So it pains me that so many of you either didn’t like the challenge or didn’t have the balls to really embrace it. I normally focus on the lyrics & this was a lyrical challenge. You can ma...

Re: hey listen to my new song (thread)
I wrote a new parody. Song Fighter Jonathan Mann did the music & SpinTuner Jenny Katz did the vocals.

Re: Nur Ein XIV Round One "Shock Value"
Boffo Yux Dudes I swear I don’t understand why people would Yoda the first line of a song. (unless it’s a Weird Al Star Wars parody) Just use your best Yoda voice, and read your first line. Don’t set the tone of your song that way. It’s more annoying when the song overall isn’t bad. Interesting sto...

Re: Nur Ein XIV Round One "Shock Value"
Abominominous Pawn Shop, the rock band. Lyrically it’s a little hard to follow the first time around, but with the lyrics in front of me it was easier. You had my head movin’ to the music, and the more I listen to this the more I like it. Really enjoyed the use of alliteration in this song as well....

Re: Nur Ein XIV Round One "Shock Value"
lol no problem. I actually had no idea my ranking of you was so different from the other judges. I'll try to get my reviews posted later today. I've been swamped lately & struggled just to get my rankings in a place I was happy with.

Re: Nur Ein XIV Round Zero "Message Received"
Thanks for the heads up, but I didn't ding them in the rankings. Just dinged them by not reviewing them. So shouldn't affect the outcome at all. At least on my part.

Re: Nur Ein XIV Round Zero "Message Received"
For those who don’t know me, I used to run SpinTunes. I’m not a musician, I’ve only written lyrics for a few songs/parodies/jingles, and I have no real background that qualifies me as an expert of any kind. This won’t stop me from judging you & possibly talking out of my ass from time to time. H...

Hey, if you really need someone message me on Facebook Niv. I'm not that great with reviews, but I'm pretty reliable. Either way, looking forward to hearing the songs again this year.

Re: Welcome to the SpinTunes Sidefight!
Dave told me about this today, so I had to stop by to see it for myself. Cool to see both communities come together a little more. Props to those involved in this.

Re: hey listen to my new song (thread)
Ok, so I don't really consider myself a songwriter at all, but this is the first song (that's not a parody) that I helped write. Unless you play Minecraft on the same mini games servers as I do, or have watched my Minecraft videos, you probably won't get most of the references. That being said I've ...

I’m starting to think we should have got rid of the letter “E”, this sounds easy for you. Then the rapping...you’re just rubbing our face in this challenge like, “THIS IS NOT WORTHY OF ME...

Wasn't that I didn't "get" it, I had trouble following along cause the vocals were muddled a bit. Also mix in a line or 2 like, "Your guitar, I have to listen, I got no choice" that just flows awkwardly & it causes me to lose were I'm at breifly because I'm double checking to...

Micah Sommersmith - Love the idea, and it’s something that I probably would be overly annoyed with if a girlfriend constantly sang the wrong words to songs I knew. Great job with all the examples. Musically I wasn’t blown away by anything, but lyrically it kept me entertained. Berkeley Social Scene...
