God damn it guys seriously? I got two artist repeats in this fucking round alone. I'm going to allow it but still. Whatevs.

UPDATTTEEEEEEE

5 Points - Quad - "Moya" by Godspeed You! Black Emperor. This song was fucking amazing. It's dark, intense and overall just...so out there. It sounded like something from an Aronofsky film, which helped my opinion of it really. Those last three minutes man

5 Points - Ravenheart - "Black Celebration" by Depeche Mode. This. This is what the fuck I was looking for when I made the "dark" category round. Holy shit man, I am so getting me some Depeche Mode when I get home and my computer stops being an asshole.

4 Points - SkyNivingDinja - "Hall of the Dead" by Isis. God damn, yes. The growls, the clean vocals and the overall tone of the guitar. Wonderful and dark.

4 Points - ClairvoyantCat - "Vigil" by Ulver. I should be knocking you down because we haven't hit the atmospheric round yet, but this was a wondefully dark atmospheric song. So I'll look past that. I know I know, you wanted last place. Suck it, you don't get last place.

3 Points - Ultimetalhead - "Atom and Evil" by Heaven and Hell. I really fucking liked this song. A lot. Because ~~Slayer~~ Dio. But it wasn't what I was quite looking for. It's heavy, but what I want when it comes to dark music. That's the only real reason I'm knocking it down to three points. Remember, I loved the song.

3 Points - Letters - "East Hastings" by Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Great song, but the length (lol) got to me a bit. And also not quite as good as Moya. Again, don't get me wrong. I really liked it, but less than the others.

3 Points - Gorille - "Porn Piece or the Scars of Cold Kisses" by Ulver. Cool sounding song all the way through. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. It only makes me wish I had known of Ulver before. Just again, a bit less compared to the other entries. Thanks for sending the song regardless, mang.

POINTS UPDATE TIME:
ClairvoyantCat - 6 points
SkyNivingDinja - 6 points
Ravenheart - 10 points (2/2, god damn)
Quad - 6 points
Gorille - 6 points
Letters - 8 points
Ultimetalhead - 7 points

Okay so the next round is blues/jazz influenced music. This round is probably the one that means the most to me, so please I ask you to put some serious thought into your entries. I really, really would like to discover some new stuff out of this round. Have at it mangs.

Shit, man. I really thought you wouldn't like this one!

Oh well, at least I'm technically in last place, but next round is really important for me to break away and establish myself as the worst. I'll be putting a lot of thought into this one!

Yea but you didn't beat me and my stupid GYBE

skydivingninja · « **Reply #45 on:** July 08, 2011, 06:04:10 AM »

That's all right. Ryan's more annoying about his love of GY!BE so whatevs.

Ryan: I don't HATE them, but I don't see what all the smile is for. Hugely influential? Apparently. Just doesn't appeal to me all that much.

Lat: So I'll ask again, can it be straight blues or jazz, or does it have to be a different genre with ELEMENTS of blues or jazz?

Well, I'm allowing either or. But if you have something with the heavy influences of blues or jazz do that. I really just want to be able to explore these genres much more.

ClairvoyantCat · « **Reply #48 on:** July 08, 2011, 12:13:10 PM »

Sent the best and hottest goddamn jazz artist ever.

So first of all, this has been the hardest round yet. Oh my god this round has been difficult to choose a best and weakest. But, I need to even out the results a bit so don't feel bad if you didn't get many points this round. I mean, I loved every fucking entry in this round to death. TO DEATH. But bagjwiorngpriwhjawyhp I can't choose. So...here goes nothing.

5 Points - DAMNIT ZANDER (Ravenheart) - "Spit Trap Ghetto" by Sarah Fimm. OhmygodthisisthebestthingI'veheardinforever. It's a little unfair, because you have the advantage yet again by taking my love for the 1920's speak-easy scene, which is the exact vibe I get from this song. Holy shit. I wish more of her stuff was like this song.

5 Points - Ultimetalhead - "She Rides" by Danzig. This was one of the biggest things I was looking for. Simple sounding, blues influenced metal. Yes. So fucking good. I love that main riff so much.

4 Points - Letters - "Birdland" by The Weather Report. Jazzy. So fucking jazzy. I loved every god damn second of it. Thank you so much.

4 Points - SkyNivingDinja - "Blue Train" by Johnathan Coltrane. Yes Yes yes yes yes jazz yes yes yes yes yes. I know who's music I need to check the fuck out a lot more.

3 Points - Gorille - "Star Scat" by Caravan Palace. I really liked this a lot. It was a bit out there, but it was just that right kind of out there that we have in common my good french friend. I feel bad I ranked it only a 3, but damn all these contestants were so good.

3 Points - Quad - "Sorceress" by Return to Forever - I really liked this one, but there isn't much else to say about it. Really great music regardless.

2 Points - ClairvoyantCat - "Old Castle, by the River, in the Middle of a Forest" by Hiromi. Great instrumentation, and great music. The only real reason I have to give it last place is it just doesn't seem much like something I'd go out of my way to listen to, moreso like with the rest of the entries.

Alright, instrumental round. Lay it on me, brothas. Anything goes, minus lyrics, vocals, spoken word, etc. GOGOGOGO

Results so far:
ClairvoyantCat - 8 points
SkyNivingDinja - 10 points
Ravenheart - 15 points (I love you so hard right now)
Quad - 9 points
Gorille - 9 points
Letters - 12 points
Ultimetalhead - 12 points

Alex, I'm still not seeing the points I got from my previous entry.

lateralus88 · « **Reply #58 on:** July 09, 2011, 06:55:07 PM »

You got all the points. I promise.

AcidLameLTE · « **Reply #59 on:** July 09, 2011, 07:03:29 PM »

I'm holding you to that.

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #60 on:** July 09, 2011, 07:09:23 PM »

Well, I can see Zander is my biggest competition here.

Oddly, She Rides is one of my least favorite Danzig songs, but it's definitely the most bluesy.

Ravenheart · « **Reply #61 on:** July 09, 2011, 08:21:39 PM »

The instrumental round will be tough. There are several I'm heavily considering sending.

Gorille85 · « **Reply #62 on:** July 09, 2011, 08:55:41 PM »

I thought I'd win with that last one.. well let's try again.

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #63 on:** July 09, 2011, 10:04:32 PM »
