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.

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/piklesthedrumrKeep 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

9. Final round - Send me a fucking album.
