KirksNoseHair's Simple Roulette v. And The Winner Is.....
« on: April 23, 2013, 10:51:06 AM »
OK, so, yeah.  I'm doing a Roulette.


Pretty simple, really.  And I'm gonna keep it simple so that I can keep it manageable in the time I have available for listening/reacting/scoring.

Rules will be simple:

The following individuals are invited to participate if you like (no pressure!)
lonestar (confirmed)
obscure (confirmed)
jingle.boy (confirmed)
ich bin besser (confirmed)
Dr. DTVT (confirmed)
TAC (confirmed)
nekov (confirmed)
Scorpion (confirmed)
Elite (confirmed)
Wolfking (confirmed)


1. I like progressive rock and progressive and power metal. It may seem "close minded" but that's what I'm interested in exploring.  Examples of bands I really like:  Dream Theater, Iron Maiden, Spock's Beard (both versions), Transatlantic, The Flower Kings, Symphony X, Andromeda, Avantasia, Ayreon, Savatage, Beyond The Bridge, Threshold, Serenity.   Dislikes: Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, heavy music with a lot of growling.  Minimal growling (think: Watershed-era Opeth) is OK, but if I'm being 100% honest I prefer no growls, sorry.

2. There are 8 people listed above, I think a nice round number like 10 would be good.  I picked the 7 above because I seem to have similar tastes to them from what I've seen posted here, plus, well, obscure  :heart   :P    We'll do a total of 5 rounds. 

3. I will PM the folks above to verify participation.  If you're in, you can just send me a song for round 1 - submissions for round 1 will be closed on FRIDAY, MAY 3, 2013, unless they come in sooner.

4. Youtube links are OK, Grooveshark is OK, but since I do the majority of my listening in my car, the preferred format is MP3 if possible.  You can email me songs at my GMAIL address which is, astonishingly, kirksnosehair@gmail.com  :omg:

5. If a couple of people beyond those listed above would like to get in, go ahead and PM me.  Please don't be offended if I don't pick you to participate.  I will select people based on WHEN their PM arrived to be fair.

6. Songs will be scored on a 10 point system with 10 being best, 1 being worst.

7. If you send me a song I already know I will ask you to kindly resubmit.


8. A list of about 80% of what I own in terms of music can be downloaded here.


I think that's about it.  Did I miss anything?  I know, I know, fucking rookies  :\    :lol

I'd be happy to participate.
However, I'd be shocked if I sent something that you weren't familiar with.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

I'd love to participate, but will graciously bow out to allow someone who could probably contribute much better to participate because:

1.  I've never done a roulette and don't really understand how they work
2.  I actually don't listen to a whole lot of progressive/power metal, and would likely have VERY little to offer outside of what is already on your list of things you like or do not like.

OK, here's a link to a text file that has my entire iTunes library in it.  This is not ALL of my music, but probably 80% of it.


I will also update the first post.

I'm entirely in (like Flynn). I can't send an mp3 until Friday (traveling), but can send a YT/Grooveshark link to hold you over until then.

1- it's easy. You send a song to the roulette owner, and they 'grade/score' it. It's a competition, so the participant with the best score at the end is the winner. Of curse the REAL winner is the one running it, as they get exposed to a ton of new bands/songs.
2- you'd be surprised. Everyone's got something to offer (even Coz ... He did good in mine).

Jump in the pool.  The water's fine.

I'd be honoured to participate in your roulette  :heart

so I had figured my first submission but saw that another album of theirs is in your list.. not this one though.. so I guess it's a no-go, no?

I was contemplating participating, and then sending you Anabassis songs every round until you booted me, but then I thought better of not having to look over my shoulder every 5 seconds the next time I'm in the Boston area.
