Re: Nur Ein XIX Round Zero "For Your Consideration"

Re: Nur Ein XVIII Round 4- Partly Fiction
Partly Fiction by chewmeupspitmeout I'm made up of phrases I'm made up of words Consonants and vowels Nouns and verbs I'm made up of metaphors And contradictions Drawn from real life But still partly fiction I'm just a character Without a story I need a parable Or allegory Partly fiction I'm just a...

Re: Nur Ein XVIII Round Zero - Sink or Swim
Welcome to episode 264 of my obsession with 17th century witch trials!

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Six "Summer Robot"
Wowzers and I thought the last round was tough to rank! I've gotta say, absolutely everyone nailed the challenge and it's a real shame that only two could go through as I think any of you would've been worthy finalists. Vom Vorton I saw your admission of accidental Gruff Rhys plagiarism but what thi...

Also, the name of my shadow is incorrectly displayed. It should be chewmeupspitmeout, as opposed to in separate words/capitalised.

June Moon by chewmeupspitmeout (shadow) I've been away/busy with work the last few weeks but it's calming down now, so I thought I'd actually do a shadow!

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Four "June Moon"
Internal rhymes are fine in my book and I definitely think you can repeat sections etc as I'm way more interested in hearing cool songs than pouring over lyrics hunting for a word that rhymes with a line two verses ago!

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Zero "Friday the 13th"
I feel like this challenge ended up being a bit hit or miss in terms of actually hitting the brief but there were definitely some standouts. To echo furrypedro's thoughts in his reviews, there were quite a lot of very literal lyrics that lacked that bit of finesse that's needed for truly poetic lyri...

Re: Nur Ein XVII: The Feeling Out Process
I don't think I'll have much time to write in May but will definitely be able to listen and review, so I'm happy to put myself forward as a judge.
