My intention for wanting to do a roulette is almost solely to find new (to me) music. There's lots out there (new and old) that I haven't really taken the time to get more into or just haven't come across yet and this as you all know is a great avenue to take the time and discover new music. So as basic as can be, my judgement will be based on what I think of the musician/band/songs that are sent but I prefer it to be something that I haven't really listened to much, if at all. It can come from just about any generation and genre if you feel confident in it.
There's been so many interesting ways of running these roulette's, determining a way to go about it has been a struggle. I love the themes but I feel like themes sometimes get in the way of choosing a band/song, so it will be quite vague in those terms but you'll be able to send the best of the best throughout.
I know there have been bands I've missed over the years some really far back so for the rounds with theme's I'm breaking it up between two 30 something year periods of modern music. Wanting to find older and some very new bands as well and feel this can help, also some of you tend to know older bands better than new and some know the newer bands a bit better so it somewhat evens the playing field.
Rules and stuff:
Rules are, I make the rules as I go along...lol...
Hoping to have 10 contestants and 10 rounds... I'll move quickly so if you join please be willing to be timely with submissions. Once a musician/band has been used it can't be used again. If a band can't be used or whatever and it's sent I'll notify and allow for a change. Scoring will be 1-10 with .5 increments as well.
I don't really want to eliminate anyone along the way but it helps to keep the competition fierce and with the scoring reseting after elimination rounds the final 6 contestants should all be in the game as we come down to the end!
Submissions can be sent to my email at musicnut77@gmail.com . Youtube would be preferable but if you need to send in other ways just let me know, sure it will be fine.
