On the time-period rounds: Are live versions of songs that originally came out during the time period okay, even if the live version itself came out afterwards? (assuming no drastic changes to the song in the live version, the original song just has shit production :lol)

You mean like if you were to send Rush's Working Man from Rush in Rio even though the original came out in 1974? Hmmmm... I have to think about that.

7 submissions so far.

Bonuses:
Not going to lie, I liked Bolster’s idea here, so I stole it and adapted it. I’m not going to do the obscure color star (sorry, no chartreuse, cerulean, or puce stars), they are just going to be bonuses. You are allowed up to three bonuses in the roulette. Each bonus will get you one extra point. However, after all rounds are played, I will rank the bonus songs and give the top bonus song in each category one extra point. This may be important to those facing elimination.

I'm not familiar with Rush, but it sounds like what I meant, yeah.

Also, that 2 minute round is going to be easier than I thought. Already have quite a few options.

So who decides if they are bonus songs?

I decide. It's kind of subjective, but most of the categories are pretty straightforward. But you must tell me if you want your song to count as a bonus song. You can also only use one song per category. So, I can't send a song by Earth Wind and Fire and then another song by Chicago both in the brass section category. You get three songs that count as bonuses.

Each bonus counts as an extra point, so theoretically you could earn 11/10 on a score if you send me a perfect song and then has the bonus.

After the competition ends (before the EP round), I will rank all the songs in each category and my favorite song in each category will earn an extra point. I'm not telling anyone this information until the end though; it's not a complete secret because you will have earned at least 1 bonus point.

The key with instrument categories is that they have to be the actual instruments and not played by a synth. I can tell the difference.

Ok, more clarification on the "bonus point" - we're a slow group that rode the short bus as kids.

Does EVERY themed submission get a bonus point, and then the BEST of them gets an ADDITIONAL bonus point at the end?  Or is it just ONE bonus point for the BEST one period?  I think it's the latter (because by the end, one/more/all bonus points could be going to eliminated players), but just want to be sure.

"Confirmed".  And submission is in your Spotify inbox.

No kidding, I think I have to pay a visit to a local old folks home and sift through some LP's or something if I make it that far :lol Literally got nothing for that, good thing I have a good collection of sub 2 min songs though because this one's going to affect all 16 participants.

here's the breakdown of most of my 2015 collection by decade :neverusethis:


surprise, the only 90's album i got kinda sucked  :lol

i actually have a pretty good song for round 4, but i don't know if splent will like it as much as i do, we'll see  :corn
edit: actually i found another song i might send instead, splent would probably like it more anyways :lol
