The Song Fight Bulletin Board

It's a coast to coast battle at the end
Frankie Big Face attempts to become the first 2 time Nur Ein champion.
Ross Durand tries to make it a banner year for the Durands in music competitions.

2 bands remain. Only one can win.

Final Round:

Title: More or Less
Challenge: Bring Your "A" Game
Songs are Due on: Monday, June 11th @ 12:01 AM EDT
Send your MP3 to nurein.sidefight@gmail.com

1 band will be eliminated.

Remember: The final vote lies in the hands of not only the judges but all the eliminated contestants as well.

Congrats you two. May the Schwartz be with you.

The left coast is depending on you, Obi-Ross Kenobi!

Considering the success I had going unplugged last round and the fact that both Ross and I are g'n'g at heart, I can't help but notice the title's implications about arranging, producing and even songwriting. Coincidence?

Also, I sliced open my left index finger yesterday. Not stitch-worthy or anything but not going without several band-aids any time soon. :-/

I'm going to do my part for democracy!

Well, it ain't Too Much or Too Little.

Ouch! This is not a good approach, Django, but I'm glad there will be more keys in your entry this week.

My stitches, btw, are finally starting to dissolve after two and a half weeks.

Ouch! This happened to me the last time I submitted to Nur Ein. Two words: open tuning.

But maybe that isn't great advice; I didn't advance that round.

Way to get the sympathy vote. If Ross wins, you'll say, "whoop dee doo, you beat a guy with a sliced open falange".

Hahahaha. You caught me.

You could try to really up the ante and win with one Hand tied behind your back
*stirs pot*

OOoo, I like that!

Wait, I could have been using two hands this whole time!

Your right hand.

Huh, I thought your guitar playing sounded a little penisy.

If you guys are having trouble with the challenge, bring your "O" game. Sometimes "O" can sound like "A" in some words and dialects.

Two Logic crashes tonight resulting in loss of all my backing vocals and a nifty bass lick. Grrr. (I just redid all the backing vox and found the audio file for the bass lick.) I think I'm done. Will sleep on it and see what this thing sounds like tomorrow morning although I won't really have time to do anything major if it sucks.

This is always a very strange time in the Nur Ein process. It's like a ghost town except for these two guys who are going to duel at twenty paces.

I'm stilltrying to figure out what my A game is. I used wikipedia for villanelle and tongue twister, but it didn't have any help on this topic.

If you want, I can quickly go create a Wikipedia topic called "Ross's A Game." But I'm just going to write "grindcore with falsetto vocals a là Miss Piggy" to try and trick you.

Hey if Ross bring Rob Halford stuff to the table, I'm voting for him.

Wow, Frankie is channeling Caravan Ray. Maybe thats his A game.

You two are silly!

P.S. Niveous, I'm sending my song tonight but I reserve the right to send a different mix tomorrow morning. I don't think it's going to happen, but just in case.

Okay, I am in. I did tweak the mix a little after all and sent the updated file seconds ago, BUT I HAVEN'T RECEIVED A CONFIRMATION.

Time to shower and pack and be on the road in 57 minutes. Uh-oh.

If anyone brings that, they can consider themselves the de facto winner.
