An excuse to buy more gear? Who needs that in their life...?

Well, that was fun guys. Ima go look for a voice coach to work with before next year. All kidding aside it was a real pleasure to take part in my first Nur Ein - will repeat and good luck to the remaining contestants! Glad to have you in the competition! Some of your tracks were my favorite of the ...

Thanks! SoundCloud isn't blocked, just that "https://transatlanticmail.com/" website as my Firewall is telling me that the https: may not actually be an https: and will not let me go there... heh.

This was written before I had left for vacation... and while on vacation I forgot to post it! Whoops! Better late than never, eh? Back to the Alphabetical Order listening experience... Except for The Lowest Bitter (which was Alphabetical, but previous weeks was sorted by the The oops!) Berkeley Soci...

I don't think it's a curse... just the way things fall sometimes. Speaking of R4 (re: No Memory), I need to finish that track up so I can finally release it... doh!

Bah! It's blocked as "unsafe" from my Firewall... bogus!

Do we have free reign on the phrase " Pick it up" ?

Only if you've chosen ska. Using "pick it up" in a glitch track will result in immediate disqualification.

In which case you've already been disqualified...

Choose wisely...

I just sang it to myself instead of clicking on that link... a list of things to "never" do, eh?

Bummer about the Songtradr thing not being FREE anymore... I know that they changed things a few months ago... where they made all the FREE accounts only able to release X releases by only 1 artist per year (it used to be unlimited releases by unlimited artists which was admittadly too good to be tr...

Okay! So other than the artist/band names being in Alphabetical Order... I listened to them in reverse order while judging and writing my reviews! Same for the Shadows, at the end of the contestants and in reverse order. I'm not as good with reviews as Vom, but at least I'm attempting something! Ber...

To be clear, "use of the Royal Road progression" doesn't mean that's the only chord pattern I may use in my song right? For example, the Royal Road progression is my chorus, whilst my verse, pre-chorus, solo, and bridge are different or variant chord progressions. That's good (preferable)...

Niv/Mo put this list together and I don't want anyone that doesn't quite understand any music theory to be left out here... I understand what it's like to not know what a IV - V - iii - vi means. IV V iii vi C Major: F - G - Em - Am C♯/D♭ Major: F♯/G♭ - G♯/A♭ - Fm - Bbm D Major: G - A – F#m - Bm D♯/...

Also... please don't "ONLY" use hand percussion. Include hand percussion. Whoops. You're only going to get horrible amounts of tambourine and guiro from me. No drums :D I had to retune the other pitched instruments I added (bass and ukulele) to match it Considering you just said you added...

Yes. Only One. NUR EIN!

Berkeley Social Scene : Not sure about the start of the song and the vocals... but the chorus kind of grows on you… Boffo Yux Dudes : Same feeling with the vocals here… I wish the vocal melodies were the piano melodies. Black Eyed peas'd the challenge I see. Chop half the sections in half… too long...

/me is now trying to figure out who's who in the entries... I've got it (with a little help from Nivs): chewmeupandspitmeout is The Serviettes Ellipsis is Mo Jimmy Pesto is Ben Krieger Slimeparty is Caravan Ray Thanks! Caravan Ray was the only one I had figured out right away, and guessed Ellipsis ...

Yeah. It's common now with Dreamhost. I'll get an error too as soon as I hit submit on this post, but it will most likely go through. I'll just have to go back and refresh the page.

Also thanks to @Lunkhead for adding the #nurein channel to Discord.

Yep. Looks like it went up early at 10:55 pm
