like, maybe we're allowed to send 45 minutes in total, while the main entree still has to be the bigger song, and minimum of 15 minutes?

That's going to bump up the average length of submissions from the 20 minute range to close to 40, I can guarantee it. :P

I'll just throw this question out there in case anyone else is in the same boat... any flexibility on the 5 minute limit on the Wine Pairing for the entree round?  I feel like I'm working on a nice beef wellington, and am forced to pair it with a Yellowtail Shiraz.  I could use a few extra minutes to get a really nice pairing - like, maybe we're allowed to send 45 minutes in total, while the main entree still has to be the bigger song, and minimum of 15 minutes?


Just play by the rules and stop your damn whining.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related

TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

You and I have a different definition of "whining".  Man alive, mrs TAC must be a hardass on you if you think the above statement is "whining".  Why you get so butt-hurt when I simply ask a question?

This roulette got a little tight today. I think it needs something to loosen it up.

Pardon the interruption, but I just had to run in and celebrate the majesty of Lube in the Face as highest moment in roulette history

You if you score one way, you'll send a certain song, but if you score better or worse, you'll change it?

Sometimes I'm on the fence between several different artists or songs, and something in the score or writeup for mine or others edges me towards one of them.

That reminds me of a joke I heard where, there were 3 Canadians out in the woods, one from Ontario, and two from Quebec. They come across this strange bottle of Molson Golden, and when one of them tries to open it, a genie comes out.  The genie says, "hey, thanks for letting me out of that bottle, eh? I will grant each of you one wish." The first Quebecker says, "I wish for a giant wall around Quebec." The genie grants his wish, and then asks the second Quebecker what he wishes for, and the 2nd Quebecker replies, "yeah, and if you could also put a giant ceiling over Quebec as well, to make it impossible for anyone to get into Quebec!" The genie grants his wish as well. So the Ontarian, who has been quietly listening to the Quebeckers and their wishes, gets a grin on his face. When the genie asks the Ontarian what his wish is, he says, "yeah, fill Quebec with water!"
