PREFACE: MODS I KNOW YOU (RICH) TOLD ME TO WAIT UNTIL JAMESMANG FINISHED HIS NEXT ROUND BEFORE STARTING MY ROULETTE BUT FUCK MAN I LEAVE FOR ARIZONA IN UNDER 24 HOURS AND WILL PROBABLY BE OUT OF THE HOUSE ALL DAY TODAY SOON AND LIKE MY ENTIRE OP WAS ALREADY PREPARED AND WRITTEN ON MY COMPUTER IN A NOTEPAD DOCUMENT AND I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE RE-WRITING IT SO THERE.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome, friends. If you see your name in the list below, that means you have been given the
honor to participate in Lateralus88's very own song roulette. As we venture on through this eight
round (+1 finals round) extravaganza, we will laugh together, cry together and form new bonds together.


Actually, fuck that. Just send me songs that fit the rounds criteria or fuck off.  

To start off, here is the list of participants. If you do not see your name, shit sucks mang.
 
ClairvoyantCat
SkyNivingDinja
Ravenheart
Quad
Gorille
Letters
Ultiboybandhead

As for my scoring system, I am going to go with the standard point system, but with a little twist. If I feel like during a specific round that everyone's entry is equally strong (or for that matter, equally shitty) I will be distributing points a bit more...evenly in the sense that it will be possible for everyone to get 5 points in a single round. I'm curious what kinds of results this might bring up. Experimentation FTW.

God tier: 5 points
Pretty damn sweet, bro tier: 4 points
I dig it tier: 3
Nice try bro but better luck next time. I mean it wasn't bad but it didn't hold up to the other entries...tier: 2 points
Fuck you that was terrible tier: 1 point (lower if necessary)

For reference, here is my last.fm: https://www.last.fm/user/piklesthedrumr

Keep in mind, there are plenty of bands that have made it into my last.fm which I have
only heard a small amount of music from. If the band has under 20 plays, I am going to open it up
as fair game. That is, as long as the song is not one I have heard or from the same album. If you are
unsure about whether a band or song is fair game, ask me first. I will make exceptions.

Also the general rule of not sending me a band twice if you got 3 points with them on a previous
round still stands. That is, unless the music is so totally different and varied that it hardly
matters. Again, I will consider exceptions.

Alright, lets get this mother fucking rolling.
___________________________________________________________________________________

OPEN ROUND, MOTHER FUCKERS. SEND WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT.


Oh yeah, and here are all of the rounds that will go into this roulette. I figure this will both give you more time to think about each round, and will help in my possible absence if I can't update my thread while in Arizona for the next two weeks.

1. Open round
2. Dark music  
3. Heavy blues/jazz influence (whichever. You decide)
4. Instrumental
5. Atmospheric
6. Fucking bizarre
7. Strong lyrics/lyrical content
8. Open
9. Final round - Send me a fucking album.

No worries Alex, the current roulette runners are all complete failures as people, so I can understand your impatience.

Ariich is a freak, or somehow has more hours in the day than everyone else.

Simple. I just didn't tell him about anything new that I've found over the past few weeks.

Hookah kicked major amounts of buttocks.

UPDATE TIEM!!!!

Sorry for the short write ups. I'm not currently at home right now and am writing these on someone elses computer...late...at...night...with...no...sleeeeeep.


5 Points - Ravenheart - "Twilight" by Edge of Sanity. I really, really, really fucking loved this. You definitely had the advantage here, by forcing some good ol' melodic death down my throat. I really loved everything about it. The growls, the riffs, everything. :metal

5 Points - Letters - "Starálfur" by Sigur Ros. Absolutely. Beautiful. In. Every. Way. Wow.

4 Points - Ultimetalhead - "Veils of Illumination" by Andromeda. Proggy, heavy, wankery and a Russel Allen wannabe. What more could the prog nerd in me ask for?

3 Points - Gorille - "The Girls of Porn" by Mr. Bungle. I've always been fond of avant-garde metal (surprise surprise). And this definitely hit the spot. But, still felt a bit underwhelming from some of the other stuff I've heard from Mr. Patton. Great song regardless.

2 Points - SkyNivingDinja - "Am I Wry, No" by Mew. More like...Meh, amirite? But seriously I just have never been impressed by these guys. I've tried before and just haven't heard anything all that impressive. There is definitely something good in there, but it's not for me. Sorry.

2 Points - ClairvoyantCat - "Father Father" by Susanne Sundfør. I wanted to like this, because of the atmosphere. And I did like it, but it's just not something I can say I really ENJOYED all that much. It's lovely sounding, but not quite my cup of tea.

1 Point - Quad - "Lay Low" by My Morning Jacket. You know, I swear I've heard some stuff from these guys at one point that I really liked. But this one just seemed a bit off to me. I mean, it's got some nice instrumentation, but I was not impressed by it all that much.
I felt its length in quite a few places.

YES! I had a hunch you'd like it. Dan Swano is the man. It was either that or a track from his solo album, but I sided with Edge of Sanity for this round.

God dammit Alex I wanted last place.  


Better find some more music that isn't your cup of tea.  But hey, I scored lower than Andromeda of all bands so I must be doing something right!

Again, I honestly think it was just the song you sent me. I swear a friend of mine sent me some MMJ before and I really liked it (as long as I'm thinking of the same band). Calm your tits.
