I guess there's a question about using the 7ths or not using the 7ths and both ways will count. Japan likes it with sevenths, America likes it without. Who am I to judge? Wait... since I am judging, again both versions will count. F Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches G Peaches, Peaches, Pea...

So, let me tell you about the Last Minotaur...

Vom Vorton put in a shadow. I said to him that him doing it made me want to do one. He said I should. I went about my day. Then at about 10:15, I said to Brookes that I should do a shadow and she dared me to make one by midnight. I did (basically).

I completely forgot about Nur Ein this year. I remembered as I was walking home from work today. Oh well.

Hopefully, we can have some shadows from you.

The results of the Round Zero judging is in. The winner of the round is... Moss Palace There's no immunity given in Round zero, so enjoy a job well done.

Niv, you have enough?

Yes. Got the panel in place.

Hey folks,
Still looking to add another name to the judging panel, if anyone is interested. Send me a direct message if you are.

This could be my first year of non-participation. I am in Europe for first 2 rounds. Preparing song may be difficult.

A year without (Insert this year's name here) would be unfortunate. Hopefully you can work out something.

Welcome to Nur Ein #18! 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 judging panel will listen to the songs and rate them from best to worst. Each r...

Here's to your recovery!

Good gracious. 2 Decades of Songfighting. That blows my mind.

Congratz on the release. I especially liked Cardboard Azaleas on first listen through.

Congrats! I put up a song news item on the home page about it.

Thank you all so much!!!

My band did a thing. It includes a couple of Songfight adjacent tunes. The album is called "superflowerbloodmoon". It's on a bunch of the streaming things. It's also here:

PURPLE TAPES PROJECT Project #1: Take The Power Back Brown Word and the Big Whine - "I Thought About Killing You" https://static.wixstatic.com/mp3/8256ce_942ab94f14ff419c8dc894755ce1521a.mp3 Caravan Ray - "No More Parties in L.A." https://static.wixstatic.com/mp3/8256ce_e0758988...

I've been slow to get this out. Holidays and an album cycle for my band have made this rough. Even the band's album had to be delayed by a week. Hopefully I can find some time soon to upload all the songs yo my website so I can at least distribute them here instead of making people wait.

Hey. I've decided to release all the songs at the end of the month. Figure i'll give this restart a proper go of it. If anyone wants to do a song or a second song, go for it.

Well, we got 3 songs for this. Which kinda feels like a false start. Hmm. What to do? Do we open up the date until the end of the year. Do we say "do as many times as you want" which was a thing in the original version of Purple Tapes. Or do I post up the 3 entries and take it as is.

Hey everyone. If you have songs ready you can send them to: purpletapesproject at Gmail dot com.

I'll post up the songs on Saturday.
