Non-Optional Challenge: Lyrics Can't rhyme

Thats a great challenge. I hate rhyming...id rather just say what i have to say. This'll be fun:)

Hey, congrats Thornberry on the well-deserved immunity.

And congrats Juror #1 on the successful surgery. I mean, I've read about the procedure, but seeing it first hand, the way those doctors implanted your head in your ass, is a testament to modern medicine.

Phew. So that will be the last time we record at eight in the morning. That was too close for comfort. Congratulations, comrades. See you on Wednesday.

Hey you leave Juror #1 alone, man knows what he's talkin' about.

2 Questions:

Did I miss a public announcement of 4 judges instead of 5?
At the end do we find out who's who?

It's an honor to be where we are, no seriously, I dang near dampened my pants when I saw it. Good luck everybody, but uh, not too good.

Yeah, that was the first thing I thought when I saw the challenge: That's gonna make it tough on the rappers.

I second that question. Is the the three Js plus Niveous?

This is so awesome! I honestly wasn't expecting to make it to this round ... even if it was by such a small margin! I'm looking forward to doing this song.

Congratulations to all, especially Thornberry on his top spot and immunity, though I doubt he'll need it.

Why 4 Judges not 5?

Congrats Thornberry, and congrats to WreckdoM and Leaf, with whom I share 2nd place

No rhymes allowed this round? Hoo boy. This is tougher than I thought. I'm so conditioned to write rhyming lyrics that I'm finding it a chore to make sure they don't this time.

[edit] I don't even know who J. Mascis is

Oh okay. I heard that name thrown around back in 1995 or so, but never heard the band. Seriously.

Is this right?

With deep regret I am going to have to announce my withdrawal.

In the next three weeks I will be away from home (ability to play/record/mix) 4 nights a week.

That plus my obvious misintepretation of what this means:

Each fight will take 8 days to complete...

March 10 - Due Date 15 March at 1pm EST (5 days)

March 17 - Due date 22nd March at 1pm EST (5 days)

Means this is not quite the time commitment and turnaround that I thought I was signing up for.

I am doing this now so that there might be a chance for someone to jump into the slot from the reserve list.

I was really enjoying this and thought the first weeks 5 days was a round 1 anachronism, but with my the way my job works, I can't keep to a 5 day turnaround. Enjoy everyone, cos this competition is driving out some stellar music!

Boo! Sorry to hear you're dropping out, Stu.

As I understood it, the eight-day cycle was 5 days to submit, and three days for the judges. Although I think they only took two days to judge round one.

And even though I get no vote on such matters, here's my accurately-valued 'two cents': I wouldn't allow anyone to take the spot in Stueym's stead. Uneven footing and all that. I'd just eliminate Stueym during the round two cuts for not submitting.

deshead · Post by **deshead** » Sun Mar 19, 2006 9:44 am

Seconded.

(And sorry to see you go, stueym)

yes. nobody will replace stu. they didn't earn the right to get into the second round anyways.

sorry to see you go stu.
