The Song Fight Bulletin Board

I reckon, if a Best of Nur Ein II album should ever be released, the track listing should probably look like this:


1. Let Me In - Puce

2. Sister Cocaine - Paco del Stinko

3. Brownie Points - Frankie Big Face

4. No One Else - Tex Beaumont & The Dirty Hearts

5. Sister Cocaine - Ross Durand

6. Let Me In - Abominominominous

7. The Thing Most Easily Forgotten - The Bovine Recyclery

8. Sister Cocaine - Bryan Kandel

9. Brownie Points - Wreckdom

10. Let Me In - Balance Lost/Balanced Regained

11. Brownie Points - Thank Glenny for the Frisbee

12. No One Else - Mersian

12. The Thing Most Easily Forgotten - Abominominominous

13. State of Emergency - Ross Durand

14. No One Else - Billys Little Trip

15. Let Me In - semicolonclosedparenthesis

- and that would be a pretty good record.


For mine, best song of Nur Ein II is a toss up between Ross Durand's State of Emergency and Paco de Stinko's Sister Cocaine.

I was planning on doing this too, but probably not till I get back from vacation.

You barstid
I don't think an album should have more than one song with the same title, cut #4.

Wow, Ray, I'm psyched! I wouldn't dare say that my song was best of the competition, but it was probably my best of the competition. Glad you liked it!

Something tells me I may have forgotten to include a Billys little Trip song. Thank you for pointing out my error BLT - I assure you i was completely unintentional.

My "Best Of" album now has 15 tracks

High compliments, Ray! Thanks or including me, I'm proud of both of those songs and honored by being on your list.
Also I'll agree to share honors with Paco if he will

Suddenly that list looks much better.

It must have went to the Doctor and had an adatriptomy.

By the way, it has 16 tracks. two #12zz....but who's counting

No Jolly Roger? I'm boycotting this one.

Grrr... oh wait, I didn't make it past round 1.

Hell yeah! As long as you don't mind being seen in public with me.

Some quick notes about the Nur Ein.

It's almost time for the next one. In 2006, it happened in March. In 2007, it happened in May. I don't wanna clash with the Smiths fight (especially since I'm looking forward to it alot), so it'll probably be in May again this year, keeping it as Songfight's Spring Classic.

A lot of Nur Ein links have gone dead as of late, especially because of Lightningmp3. So I'm asking all of those who have participated in the Nur Ein to send me copies of their entries so that I can put them all on my website for safekeeping. Please send copies of your songs to nurein.sidefight @ gmail.com and please save me some time by naming your files accordingly: (yourbandname)_(songtitle).mp3 all in lowercase.

A few people have asked about being judges this year. Puce as the current champion will be on the jury as well as myself and I believe Merisan was interested as well. Is there anyone else who expressed interest in being on the jury?

And yes, like last year, there will be a round zero.

Can't remember if I'd expressed an interest in being on the jury back then, but I am now.

Expressing an interest, that is.

I used lighteningMP3, so I'll send you copies, Niv.

Erin are I still interested. We'd judge as one unit, so as not to take up two slots, of course.

I expressed a desire to be a judge, but I'm not sure if I'd like to compete again, seeings as I enjoyed it so much last year!

If you end up with an empty slot then I'll definately step-in!

Hmmm. A jury of me, sp00n, RG, Merisan and Puce. That's an interesting mix. Sounds like a plan.

My songs are here: http://kni.songhole.org/EN/

I might like to participate this year. Maybe with an alter ego like Ray/Tex...

Ken

Whoo-hoo! There's gotta be less heartache on this side of the line

I'll be watching for the official announcement - I'm a total Nur Ein! addict.

I really found that using an alter ego was helpful in focusing, especially for Nur Ein I where my songs did seem to have a coherent thread to them. The distinction between Ray and Tex blurred in Nur Ein II, to the point where I can't actually tell the difference between them anymore.

I will probably drag Tex out of mothballs again for Nur Ein III - but it looks likely that timewise it may clash with me selling my house and leaving Australia - so it may be a little tricky (my wife has been offered a job in New Zealand and I have just been offered something in Papua New Guinea - we haven't decided which one we will take yet)

Sadly, I will be away from June 22-July 10. So, if it starts in May, I probably wouldn't be able to see it through to my inevitable defeat in the final round.

yep - it does sound like a good mix
