I can’t speak for the other judges. I will accept any phrase that contains at least 3 distinct tones and is at least 6 notes in total length. In other words, I think the minimum phrases follow the forms ABCCBA (6 notes, 3 tones), ABCDCBA (7 notes, 4 tones), ABACABA (7 notes, 3 tones). No ABBCBBA (7...

Hey everyone, I think it is time to be honest with myself. I am struggling to keep up with this year's Nur Ein. This past October, I left a job that I had for one day short of 21 years to venture into a new job. Sure, I had left a toxic toxic place but my new job is no cakewalk. It ended up being a ...

Both missing songs have been posted. Computer has just been a little fussy today.

I have album art. Do you just want it posted here? (Yes, it is unsolicited. No, you don't have to use it.)

Round zero doesn't genereally have album art but send it anyway.

Sorry for the delay. I was having tech issues this morning. Thanks for the save, Mike!

Great work!

Welcome to Nur Ein X-Seven! The Nur Ein is an eight round song competition. In each round, the participants are given a song title and a mandatory challenge and are given a week in which to finish that song. Then this year's group of Nur Ein Judges will listen to the songs and rate them from best to...

Tentatively, I'm looking at May 9th to July 6th for this year's contest. The day after Mother's Day as the starting point, just like last year. Mother's Day to Independence Day seems like the Nur Ein time slot.

I still need some judges.

Hey everyone, This is the week where I start getting everything set for another year of Nur Ein. So, who out there is interested in judging? If I know my wife as well as I think I do, I think LWRG (or some version) will compete, so I won't be judging. As for time frame, I'm basically waiting for Spi...

1000% interested.

Hey everyone. Long time no post. It's been a wild ride lately. New job that ended being harder and more stressful but less toxic. Lost my dad to the great global bastard. Super tired, super stressed. Somehow dropped a new album. Crazy times. Finally I'm beginning to see a little light at the end of ...

Hey astrolamb! Welcome back!

Irish People Try American Amateur Songs

Spoiler: Ciara likes all of them, thinks they would be great in a cocktail

But what does Dermot think about it?

Joey Jordison of Slipknot.
Dusty Hill of ZZ Top.

Music just lost some style points.
