UPDATE GOD JEEZ FINE HERE YOU GO:

5 points - ClairvoyantCat - "Mammal Sauce" by Crotchduster. What a beautiful song. I never felt so in tune with both my self and the universe until I listened to this song. Also it was fucking WEIRD.

5 points - SkyNivingDinja - "RIKKI TIKKI TAVI" by Fair to Midland. Very bizarre but oh so fucking

4 points - Gorille - "The Escape" by Scott Walker. In all honesty, this song seriously scared the fucking shit out of me. I was listening and wondering "Wut...when does weird happ...WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!!!". And a very cool song as well.

3 points - Ultimetalhead - "Funk Yourself" by Pylox. Very cool mehtul song with some really bizarre twists here and there. Plus, dat bass.

3 points - Ravenheart - "Szerencsétlen" by Venetian Snares. Very cool song. And the oddness of the song got cooler and cooler as the song went on.

2 points - Letters - "To All the Dancers of the World, a Round Form of Fantasy" by Sweet Trip. The song itself was not bad but I mean it was pretty okay. She has a cool voice. But honestly the only weird thing about this song was the electronic bits, which weren't all that bizarre to begin with. Valid attempt though.

1 point - Quad - "Like Herod" by Mogwai. I am sorry if this comes off as harsh but this song honestly felt fairly contrived and honestly just boring. I've grown to like some post-rock quite a bit. But man, I just couldn't go for this at all. Sorry mang. Better luck next round.

CURRENT STANDINGS AS OF NOW:
ClairvoyantCat - 17points
SkyNivingDinja - 23 points
Ravenheart - 23 points
Quad - 17 points
Gorille - 22 points
Letters - 22 points
Ultimetalhead - 23 points

NEXT ROUND: GIMME SOME MUSICS WITH STRONG/WELL WRITTEN LYRICAL CONTENT OF SOME KIND GOGOGOGOGOGO

Hahaha! I can't believe that, out of all the songs I've sent for this roulette, the first one to do really well was Mammal Sauce of all songs. Haha.

lateralus88 · « **Reply #112 on:** August 01, 2011, 06:32:16 PM »

It was beautiful.

Ravenheart · « **Reply #113 on:** August 01, 2011, 06:33:57 PM »

Already sent the next one. I feel pretty good about it, but we'll see.

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #114 on:** August 01, 2011, 06:37:38 PM »

Bah. Expected to get 4 points with that at least, but oh well.

Trying to figure out which song to send for the next round. I've got the album narrowed down, but it's just picking one song since the lyrics kick ass throughout.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #115 on:** August 01, 2011, 06:40:40 PM »

Sent.

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #116 on:** August 02, 2011, 08:13:53 PM »

Just so everyone else can get in on the lulz. The song I sent in was a Slipknot song that I re-labeled so I'd get points.

Slipknot got three points in Alex's roulette. Spread the word.

So we learned that Fair to Midland beats Slipknot? Not news.

Gorille85 · « **Reply #121 on:** August 03, 2011, 03:40:17 PM »

Sent. All the points to me. (maybe)

Gadough · « **Reply #122 on:** August 03, 2011, 03:53:16 PM »

Holy hell Justin, you're amazing. What song was it?

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #123 on:** August 03, 2011, 08:03:14 PM »

It was off their EP prior to Corey joining the band. The song was called Do Nothing/Bitchslap.

contest_sanity · « **Reply #124 on:** August 03, 2011, 10:54:22 PM »

Damn you UltimateHead; thanks to your shenanigans I ordered these guys from Amazon:

UPDATE TIEM:

5 points - Ultimetalhead - "Testify" by Rob Wynia. From the one Floater album I have, I already could tell this was going to be a treat lyrically. Rob definitely is a great song and lyric writer, and god damn does he show it in this song. Well done.

5 points - SkyNivingDinja - "Jungleland" by Bruce Springsteen. God damn it, I hate that I am giving Springsteen 5 points because I just can not stand his voice, but it would be unfair to not recognize the beautifully written lyrics of this song. They are extremely poetic, and paint a very vivid image directly onto whatever part of my brain imagines images. Damn it, Matt.

4 points - Ravenheart - "Better Safe Than Sorry" by Nightingale. I liked the lyrics to this song for different reasons than the others. They come off as very...I don't know how to put it, but personal and real are the first two words that come to mind. I don't know, the song I suppose hits to home a bit, and I can see now how this song can come off as very personal to you lyrically.

4 points - ClairvoyantCat - "Bear" by The Antlers. Oh man, so I'm mostly giving this song this score because it kind of, sort of hits close to home (not so directly, but indirectly through someone I know). I don't even know how to explain that so I'll just leave it at that. The song itself was just okay, but the lyrics were fantastic.

3 points - Quad - "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac. Great song with some fantastic lyrics. I would have given this more points, but I really don't want three people getting 4s. If it helps, it does deserve that ranking, but I needed to bring something down a notch.

2 points - Gorille - "The Rake's Song" by The Decemberists. I dunno. I know the lyrics are well liked amongst many people n' shit, but I just couldn't get into them. I gave this a 2 because I really liked the concept of the song and it was catchy during the "alright" bit. But I dunno, I guess I've just heard better.

2 points - Letters - "Ornament/The Last Wrongs" by Oceansize. Again, I know there is something I want to like about these lyrics, but I just am not able to get into them. Plus, the music going along with it just felt...I don't know...really long without mush reason. I was hoping for something more focused lyrically, I guess.

Current standings:
ClairvoyantCat - 21 points
SkyNivingDinja - 28 points
Ravenheart - 27 points
Quad - 21 points
Gorille - 24 points
Letters - 24 points
Ultimetalhead - 28 points

Man, it's getting close. Alright, here we go. The last major round before the finals. It's open. So send something. ANYTHING. GOOOOOOOO

Ravenheart · « **Reply #127 on:** August 05, 2011, 02:14:57 PM »

Damn, looks like it won't be me versus Justin after all. Oh well.

Tripp · « **Reply #128 on:** August 05, 2011, 02:58:46 PM »

You still have a chance, Zander. I believe in you!

skydivingninja · « **Reply #129 on:** August 05, 2011, 03:02:10 PM »

OH SNAP!

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #130 on:** August 05, 2011, 11:48:12 PM »

Eh, it's okay. It'll be WAY easier to win against SDN anyway.

Quadrochosis · « **Reply #131 on:** August 06, 2011, 05:18:14 AM »

zxlkho · « **Reply #132 on:** August 06, 2011, 08:35:07 PM »

Holy shit Alex, are you fucking kidding me? That's a top 10 song of all time.

Ravenheart · « **Reply #133 on:** August 06, 2011, 09:08:26 PM »

That's the last song I would send for lyrics. It's more instrumentally based.

zxlkho · « **Reply #134 on:** August 06, 2011, 09:10:30 PM »

Dude the lyrics are AWESOME

Ravenheart · « **Reply #135 on:** August 06, 2011, 09:11:28 PM »

Don't get me wrong--the lyrics are good, but when I'm listening to it, it feels like the music takes precedent over the lyrics. The Frame feels more focused on lyrics. I dunno, it's just the impression I get.

zxlkho · « **Reply #136 on:** August 06, 2011, 09:13:20 PM »

I guess I interpret the song different that you then

I think the lyrics are what ultimately help the song build up to the ending

perhaps thats why i think its like the greatest thing ever

Ravenheart · « **Reply #137 on:** August 06, 2011, 09:24:01 PM »

I think it's just because you're a terrorist who eats small children and rapes all the men and robs all the women. Also you're white.

zxlkho · « **Reply #138 on:** August 06, 2011, 09:24:36 PM »

well you got me there...
