I did get my "welcome to round one" mail. So if I missed it by 34 seconds that's going to be my least favorite number now for a while! :) Either way, I think the moral of this story is that I need to NOT do this crap anymore (by which I mean ride the deadline) or I'm going to ronko all over my computer from the stress of it all. :S

NUR EIN!! :)

So, since this round doesn't really count, what do you guys think about announcing the next title right now? :)

It still counts. Immunity is still in play.

If one person out of 20 accidentally starts a song and then finds out he/she is immune, is that so bad? :)

Just sent my entry, despite completing it on Thursday I forgot to actually send it in. Hopefully the judges will let it slide this time :)

I vote for letting the Antmeister in.

Gotta give a bit of slack for global timezones. Next time it might be me.

I'd love to let Adam in, but I would hate to see someone eliminated when they met the deadline. My humble suggestion is to let him in and pass 21 on to round 2.

NUR EIN!

That's ok. You'll already be in the lobby waiting for me. Slack-wad.

Maybe I could come in late but with a points deduction, so -10 points from my judges total say?

Edit: for the benefit of people listening to the other songs, mine is http://joeba.in/uploads/adamadamant_lg.mp3

Helpful reminder: If you get your song done early, it doesn't hurt to submit it twice or more, in case you want to listen for a few more days/hours and make some tweaks.

I definitely should have done this!

Hi guys, here is my reviews of most of the songs. I've put them roughly in the order I would have ranked them if I were a judge. I'll try and do the last five tomorrow but it is getting a bit late right now. Some really good songs this round. I liked pretty much every song so awesome work everyone.

Carlo Bruno Jr - This is pretty damn cool on so many levels. I love this song.

Governing Dynamics - The guitar in this is really fucking cool. The guitar at the start of the song has a weird quality about it that I really like. This is a great song. Kinda reminds me of a Jimmy Eat World song. Nice man, nice.

WreckdoM - I really like the imagery of the lyrics in this song and the music adds a lot of atmosphere. I feel like I'm being drawn into a world you have created. Love it.

Chokehold Princess - This is brilliant. Is that you making the goat noises with your mouth? I thought the lyrics were clever and fun. I really enjoy this song.

The Tydon Docks - Haha, sounds very aussie. I liked the atonal guitar parts and the whole song is a lot of fun. I want to have a drunk sing-along to this song. Name dropping Tubz was a nice touch.

Frankie Big Face - This was one of the only songs this round that really rocked. I appreciate that. The waltz bits were pretty cool. I like this song.

Adam Adamant - This is a happy little tune and has a nice little quirky quality about it. Lovely.

DJ Ranger Den - I like your voice. This was a really interesting song. Very sultry.

Cavedwellers - Wow, this is really impressive. All the instruments are played well and it all comes together to be a really slick production that sounds great. I'm kind of blown away at how well this is produced for just five days - this sounds like a full-on studio recording that a lot of time has been spent on. The song itself doesn't really grab me but I love the music.

Jon Eric - I like the 'Meanwhile on Earth' lyric and the singing in the chorus. This song has a kind of classic feel to it. Like a Billy Joel song. Not a big fan of the 'Dear Jon in the mirror' line. Seems kind of cliched. Other than that, I quite like this song.

Balance Lost - I think this is a really pretty tune and it is soothing to listen to. It sounds like a song to play for babies at nap time. Actually, I'd be really happy if you played this for me while I was going to sleep. PM me if that is something you might be interested in.

Boffo Yux Dudes - Love that very first guitar lick. Not generally a big fan of Country and Western vocals and so this song didn't really do it for me. The lyrics didn't strike me as particularly original either. I do like the guitar and the music is well done.

Dani House - Acordians! Yes please. I could waltz to this.

Tubba Gutz - I wasn't a big fan of your round 0 entry but this was far better. I like this song - an enjoyable listen. Looks like I'll be taking your spot at the bottom of the pack. Thanks for keeping it warm for me.

Inflatable Vegetables - A nice little silly song. Not the deepest or most interesting song in the world but still a bit of fun.

Just an advance warning to the competitors: your scores this round will be subconsciously affected (either positively or negatively) by how much I like (or dislike) whichever Beatles song each of you chose to rip off.

Does that mean I am getting a zero?

I won't say anything specific about any particular songs -- just making a general observation about a very popular trend this time around.

To clarify: for all the folks who are ripping off one or more Beatles songs in their submissions, the more blatant it is, the more you should be hoping I really like that particular Beatles song.

Better?
