Fantastic job everyone! My goal is to do more reviews for this Nur Ein!, as I have left the comments to lunkhead in the past. But having just had the epiphany that I have been involved with SongFight! for over 5 years... I feel the need to make some more effort to give some feed back. Tiny Robots- T...

Hey Glenny, Thanks for the glowing review, but I cannot take the credit for singing this week. Those sweet tones are coming from Miss Amy, but feel free to compliment me on my uke strumming abilities. That was me singing on last weeks entry though, just to clear things up. I know that there aren't t...

I can understand your concern. But to be honest, whether or not Merisan is one person with multiple personalities, or two people who are sharing opinions..."we" are not not the only judge to use compromise to determine our rankings. May I also remind you that "we" wrote and recor...

...I think it would be hard to appeal to both Merisan and Rabid Garfunkel with the same song, which is why I don't even try--I just write and record what sounds good to me. This reminds me of Merisan trying to appeal to the tastes of Charcoal and Glenn last year. Not. gonna. happen. Sam and I as &q...

Caravan Ray and the Nicey-Nicey Pussies!

How about "Dillweed and the nicey-nicey Pussies."?

Well, thank you so much TWS! I have only heard a little bit of Tanya Donnelly, but have really enjoyed what I have heard. It's always so interesting when SF'ers compare me/Merisan to other artists. Some other artists I have been compared to:Juliana Hatfield (Thanks Glen!!!!), The Cranberries, Mazzy ...

"City of Dis" said: Merisan: Starts out kinda Jewel-y with the intro, gets all Dixie Chicks harmony there, kinda has a Carrie Underwood vibe overall. I don't like those girls' music. Wow, I guess if I owned any of this music I would understand your "dis" a little more. From what ...

Dear Angry Mob thirsty for "Judge Blood", It is apparent that many of you are upset by the recent decision to extend the due date for round zero. I understand how it would seem unfair to some. May I remind you that this is absolutely not the first time in SongFight history (or Nur Ein for ...

Hey guys...isn't it ALL practice? :wink: Adding to Niv's comments about being a singer... It's tough out there! It can be really frustrating as a singer to have fantastic ideas, and then not feel that you can properly express them, as you are just "the singer". The alchemy of collaboration...

Congrats to Erik for making his debut contribution to Merisan, and helping us get a song in!!! So... when can we expect more lyrics for the next fight? :wink: Many thanks to all who voted for us. On a side note: Reist, your drumming is amazing. Sam and I think that you should move to LA someday and ...

Thank you Erik! I enjoyed putting a melody to your lyrics, and hope to work with you more in the future. Remember way back in the day when JB put together Fightmaster's choice- Cover Fight/ September 2004? Loyalty Day covered "Secrets". With the exception that I have complained about the w...

I was introduced to SF! in December of 2003 when I sang for KNI at a SF!Live show. My first official fight was for "The Puppet's Dream" on 4/13/04. I have commented a total of 49 times now. I am trying to say that I don't often respond to comments and reviews. I usually speak up on the boa...

Jon Eric Said: 2.) Merisan song is still probably the best-produced in the fight, but repeated listens reveal the singing to be fairly soulless. Like she's working so hard to enunciate every word and be perfectly on-key that she forgot the meaning of the lyrics. Fairly soulless? Wow. If you listen t...

Connecting sex with power wasn't my complaint, but I do think that the term "power poon-tang" is offensive. Not that poon-tang can't be powerful...it most surely is. I think the cause of my dislike comes from my memory of that Ted Nugent song "Wang Dang, Sweet Poon Tang". I can't...

On the topic of "shag-worthy" female world leaders.... I mean, come on. Are you kidding me? As if it's not hard enough to be a woman in a position of public power in society, now you are also being judged on your sex appeal? These women did not rise to their levels of power to be scrutiniz...

Best of luck Niv! For what it's worth, the title of the book is pretty intriguing on it's own.
QOTD: answer...I have really been rocking the Smiths for a few weeks. Happens a few times a year I think... for the last 17 years.
"This Charming Man" is the winner!
(According to my iPod.)

Why is [CENSORED]'s name [CENSORED]?
This is really weird...every time I type her name, it looks fine. Then I post the comment.....
I don't get it!

These songs instantly leap to mind. Eleanor Rigby- The Beatles (when I was a kid, I would always tear up when I heard this.) Mercy Street- Peter Gabriel Where the Wild Roses Grow- Nick Cave My Funny Valentine- (Especially when sung by Chet Baker) And lastly... The ultimate in unrequited love songs.....

This Thursday, Lunkhead and I will raise a glass of wine to toast the start of SFLIVE07( Long may you rock!) from the comforts of our Berkeley, CA home. I'm a little sad that we wont be there, as we've had a really great time attending the last two. We took our East Coast Summer Vacation last month,...

What's even more strange is that you were covering a Lunkhead song for that cover fight..
Oh..the twisted web of SF!
Ok, it's not that weird...but I LOVE that cover.

Good luck this week.

HaHa! NUr Ein! was full of pointless guitar wankery...and that's why it's so special! No really, I was just trying to make the point that I didn't like male/female genre labeling. Yes, women can wank too. And you must admit that there is not a lot of female guitar wankery on SF!. Did I mention the w...

Again...it comes down to taste. My original argument wasn't that men don't like my music...it was that they said..."I don't usually dig the chick thing". I can handle it if someone says "Your song sucks". I think it's nice that perhaps some folks edit their opinions to be nice, b...
