Tomislav's Second Roulette v. WE HAVE A WINNER!

[Tomislav95]

So... hi, everyone! I didn't know when to start a roulette so I figured it's best to do it now. This first week might be a bit slow but it should be fine after that.
Everyone is free to join and I'll see if there'll be preliminary round, let's say I want 10 people max. Also, I'd like to see some new participants, those who didn't play in my v1. Don't be scared, I'm open for all kinds of music
As of format, it'll be simple one-man-per-round-elimination and EP round in the end. Every round is for itself. e.g. if you send the best songs in 3 rounds and completely fail in 4th, you're out! Here's table:

ROUND 1 - ROUND 6 - elimination rounds
ROUND 7 - EP round (more later)

(9 people already signed up in roulette tracker thread)
Participants:
1. home
2. Parama
3. Puppies_On_Acid
4. Sacul
5. LordCost
6. Elite
7. Train of Naught
8. Shadow Ninja 2.0
9. soupytwist
10.
...


Rules
-I prefer files (MP3, FLAC, whatever) but Youtube and Spotify are fine as well
-once sent, band is banned in future rounds
-there won't be any time limits but don't send long song just for sake of it, please (and keep in mind I don't like very long songs too much)
-I start listening 48 hours after the results (unless otherwise stated) so send on time
...


Tastes:
My tastes didn't change that much since last roulette but in case you don't know, here are some of my favorite genres and bands I've been diggin lately:

Progressive:
I like both rock and metal, lately mostly modern stuff like Leprous, Fair to Midland, The Dear Hunter, Mastodon. I have to mention I don't like overly technical stuff that much anymore (and I wouldn't mind if you didn't send it at all ).
Other bands: DT, Fates Warning, Riverside, Porcupine Tree...

Indie:
I guess I don't listen to it as much as I used to but there are bands I often come back to: Bon Iver, The Smiths, The Antlers, Brand New, The Hotelier...

Black metal:
I don't like 2nd wave but the modern stuff which is more emotional and just beautiful. I dig folky stuff the most. You know it if you ever heard Agalloch, Moonsorrow, Thy Light...

Heavy/Power Metal:
Not my thing lately but you can try. I still love bands like Iron Maiden, Iced Earth, Sonata Arctica...

...and my profiles on Last.fm and Rate your music. Ratings are up to date and charts on last.fm are pretty accurate as well, feel free to check my tastes there.


Best discoveries of my first roulette: Fair to Midland, Nothing More, Thrice, Soen, Mew, Rishloo, Ghost Brigade, Myrath...

[Tomislav95]

Here's the banned list, keep in mind I might have forgotten some artists I know and be ready to resubmit if you already sent same song in other roulette because I sometimes check those out.
To people who played in my v1: there are some bands you sent that I did not check or didn't like enough. You can send them again but I'd like you not to

[Crow]

I'd say in but I already am 

[Train of Naught]

Nice, gonna make a playlist today. Not sure when we can start sending but I'll wait till I know how many people will be eliminated in the preliminary, cause that'll tell me approx. how good my song has to be

[Tomislav95]

Yep, hold it a bit at least until there are enough people to start.

[Sacul]

In to send trip-hop and downtempo music all rounds 

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

And so it begins.....I have some tasty stuff to send.

[Tomislav95]

In to send trip-hop and downtempo music all rounds 

This is elimination roulette... just sayin'

And so it begins.....I have some tasty stuff to send.

I saw your RYM, great stuff there, man, I'm glad you're playing

[Crow]

puppies has rated like 90% of the new stuff i've checked out this year so whenever he hosts a roulette i'm just going to have 0 songs to send

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

Hey I'll join this if you need another person to send you some garbage.

[Evermind]

I would play, but I honestly don't like the elimination format to the point I'm staying away from roulettes featuring it now. I'll be following though.

[Crow]

the elimination format is great for tired roulette hosts who don't like scores and long writeups
which is why i'm definitely doing it for my next roulette
it discourages risk-taking to an extent but encourages sending really damn good stuff every round, too, so

[Evermind]

...so? I feel this is somehow implying I'm incapable of sending 'really damn good stuff every round'.

I'm not berating anyone (neither the players nor the host) for liking elimination format, and I'm not saying the format is stupid or whatever. It's just that I don't like it. Simple as that.

[Tomislav95]

Hey I'll join this if you need another person to send you some garbage.

Of course

I would play, but I honestly don't like the elimination format to the point I'm staying away from roulettes featuring it now. I'll be following though.

I'd like you to play but if you don't like the format...
On the contrary, I like it a lot even as a participant and I think I'll like it even more as a host

[Tomislav95]

Some fun informations:

• there will be hangmanen (yaaay)
• there will be a comedy round sometime

Don't know about rest of you, but last time it was really hard for me to do round after round without a rest. I think doing a meme round is better than taking a week or so off. Everyone will get a chance (or pass it) to send a funny song or something laughably bad but more about that around 4th/5th round.

[LordCost]

-there won't be any time limits but don't send long song just for sake of it, please (and keep in mind I don't like very long songs too much)

I was the secondary judge in Parama's roulette when you sent Downfall Of Nur, I can get revenge if i want

[Bolsters]

I might sit out actually, I kind of want a break from roulettes for a bit once Sacul's ends.

[Sacul]

ohnoes bolsters is broken what have i done

[soupytwist]

Space for one more?   

[twosuitsluke]

I might have to sit this out too, I just got a promotion at work and I'm going to be really busy. I don't want to be holding you up because of it. I'll definitely be following though

You still can sign up, there's one place left.

Space for one more?   

[Tomislav95]

Feel free to send now, I guess there won't be preliminary round as only 9 people signed up. But you can still sign up if you want.

[Train of Naught]

[Train of Naught]

Didn't really expect anyone to steal Hypno5e but that is indeed on my list

[Crow]

i'll help you with hangmanen, i sent Six Fingers In One Hand She Holds the Dawn (Pt. 1)

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Sent! Sorry for the song length, but I think the quality of the song justifies it's length.

[Tomislav95]

5 submissions are in, keep 'em coming

[LordCost]

Didn't send my "will-probably-get-stolen" band so y'all better not steal it

But yeah sent

[Tomislav95]

It would be great if three of you sent as soon as possible, I'll start listening tomorrow for sure.

[Train of Naught]
