Re: Nur Ein X - Round Six
Hi Jon. Erik directed me to your review of my song (which is why I'm posting from his account). This is probably the most bullshit review I've ever received. I have no idea who the Duggars are (Erik just explained it to me). I really wish you would stop forcing your own agenda on my (and everyone el...

Re: Nur Ein X - Round Six
Look at those scores for the "odd time signature" round. 11, 13, 15, 17, 19. Carl Jung would be blown away with this synchronicity. What are the odds?!? Anyway, congrats to Nick Cave. Good luck. I look forward to hearing your final songs. It has been a pleasure to join you all in this game...

Re: Nur Ein X - Round Five
My favorite moment of all the songs was Erik's guitar solo in the ATLM song. T. Thank you, Glennny. That was also my favorite compliment of the whole game! FYI, I am primarily a jazz guitar player. This songwriting thing is brand new to me as of Round Zero. The most natural part of this process is ...

Re: Nur Ein X - Round Five
Has the relationship between FBF and ATLM ever been fully explained? Did I miss it? I seem to have the idea from somewhere that ATLM are students of FBF . Is that right? Or are you just mates? I had to look up the definition but I think we are just mates. We teach in the same school. That would exp...

The non-optional challenge: Question Two parts for me (part two is more important!): 1. The theme - The content of the song is a summary of one of the most enigmatic moments in modern ...

Re: Nur Ein X - Round Four
ATLM - More nu-jazz / blues claiming it's jazz noodlin'. I hate all jazz (except Miles Davies and Ornette Coleman) almost as much as I hate folk pop crossovers (cf. the rest of my reviews). This does nothing for me but I guess it doesn't need to, Mr Immune Man! Thanks for the listen guys! Miles Dav...

Re: Nur Ein X - Round Three
Thanks for the unexpected win. Not to be self-deprecating, but I did not expect this entry would do anything but just get me by to the next round. No plans of winning immunity as is evidenced by the fact that I completed a song entitled "Banshee" on Tuesday night. Had I known immunity was ...

Re: Nur Ein X - Round Two
À Tous Les Monsieurs Frank has been around this particular block a few times, so I assume he informed Erik that the Round Zero challenge doesn't apply to the rest of the competition, right? Your harmonies in the intro would seem to satisfy the challenge, but that portion of the song doesn't really ...

Re: Nur Ein X - Round Three
Will À Tous Les Monsieurs have to find a new vocalist since two-time-Nur-Ein-champion Frankie Big Face has already been in a Nur Ein song before? Well, yes and no. The challenge specifies that there must be a guest, not necessarily that the guest must sing, and it doesn't mean that the usual singer...

Re: Nur Ein X - Round One
à tous les monsieurs Some of the circus stuff was a little on-the-nose (there's a lot of that going around this week). The drums are really good, but they also get repetitive; it could have used some more pattern variation, particularly in the B section. I enjoyed this, but not as much as last week...

Re: Nur Ein X - Round One
A tous les monsieurs : Do you play all the instruments yourself? Everything sounds convincing and authentic. As I mentioned in the thread it's a huge advantage having such solid performances (practically cheating! ;-) I like the song. It's pleasant, but at the same time, doesn't knock me out in any...

Re: Nur Ein X - Round One
And to piggyback off of FBF. This weekend was our annual yard sale. While going through our garage for items to sell, I found a broken bike pump (the needle broke off and took some plastic with it). Threw it in the trash. Then pulled it out. Challenge met. Used it in the intro of the B section of th...

Re: Nur Ein X - Round Zero
I really like singing this style. (I called it bossa, but Erik says it's a 3/2 samba because bossa is always in 4.) I'm glad you liked my understated performance. Actually, now that I think about it, samba is probably not the best term. The few jazz charts I have seen that use this groove say slow ...
