Wow, that playlist was a real journey. Too bad they didn't have the Chris Cornell Bond theme.

Typically, the judges ding vague, melodramatic, cliched lyrics, but now I guess you want this? Bond themes are full of this pap.

Re: Nur Ein XV Round Four "Carte Blanche"
Now I know how I survived Round One. Thank you!
Also, someone not on these boards said that my "Rear Window" sounded Mountain Goats-ish too. I just can't get them out of my songs!

Re: Nur Ein XV Round Four "Carte Blanche"
I think I mentioned my affection for that band in my review for that round, but on the other hand, I know at least one of the other judges can’t stand them, so again... good luck trying to please us all
The Sunday Colors from last year’s Nur Ein still wins the Darnielle-alike award in my book, though.

Re: Nur Ein XV Round Four "Carte Blanche"
Well, I guess I won't be finishing my thematic instrumental that's 20 minutes long and has a different instrument playing a variation of the melody every roughly 30-60 seconds before going back to the hook to introduce the next, as the instruments slowly degrade in sophistication until there's a flushing toilet.

“Bond” is referring to James Bond, a famous book and movie character. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.

Re: Nur Ein XV Round Four "Carte Blanche"
You know, "Carte Blanche" is from the French for "blank check." And a bond is a financial instrument as well. I'm wondering whether anyone will have the chutzpah to try out that alternate take on the title/challenge.
