I finished in the top 6 of the round! That's basically a gold medal for me! Glad you liked Ningen Isu. Kudos to Wolfking as well, I started listening to Skálmöld last year before I travelled to Iceland. Cool band and their latest is decent.

1.0…Nick: Elisa-Luce (Tramonti a Nord Est)

Ok, that didn't go well

If MirrorMask were on this thread, he'd have my back

Kade, on the other hand, killed it in this round! He's leaving everyone in the dust...

EDIT: Sent for round 6!

I just want to know of it's made the slightest difference to my overall standings.

I think the next round should bring me up quite a bit but Kade is running away with this.

I wish I'd participated in that one. It was Walrus/Kattelox/Firewings second wasn't it? I was crazy busy with work at that time and unable to commit.

ariich · « **Reply #2039 on:** October 13, 2023, 01:03:22 PM »

Well, I'm hella consistent. Of my 10 submissions so far, 7 have scored an 8 or 2.

It's keeping you in it for sure. I had the same issue in your roulette...consistently good, but no knockout.

Wolfking may have delivered a fatal blow, but there's plenty of points still to be had, and the Final Exam is 1.5x remember.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #2041 on:** October 13, 2023, 01:15:02 PM »

Max points for Kade.

Now don't go fuck it up!

True. You had Lumsk and I've had Whispered, but otherwise we both tend to be in that "solid top half" range.

Well, I liked the Einkehr song!

But no, we are not connecting. I just have to remember in your next roulette to send songs I hate, and they should do pretty well.

I used to be super into Euro strategy board games, so it's too bad that was after/before my time.

Both songs 1st place finishers, eek. Now I know what the Utah Jazz felt like playing against Jordan in his flu game.

Tim - for the Italian song I sent - was it the genre overall, the song, the singer...? Just curious

I think the singer was fine. I think it was the song and the style. It was way out of my wheelhouse. I gave it a couple listens, and yeah, I was good.

The other thing that was driven home in this round is that I don't really care for the Spanish language when it's sung.

TAC · « **Reply #2053 on:** October 13, 2023, 03:11:32 PM »

And by all means, I encourage questions on the Extra Credit rounds. I don't do writeups on them, and I thought I'd do some sort of summary after each one, but that'd be too much like a writeup. It's less of a chore to do it conversationally.

LithoJazzoSphere · « **Reply #2054 on:** October 13, 2023, 03:16:27 PM »

I haven't quite finished the playlist, but Heroes Del Silencio was a standout. I've heard their name so many times and never got around to them. Definitely up my alley.

Sent for round 6.

wolfking · « **Reply #2055 on:** October 13, 2023, 04:00:47 PM »

Nice. What an achievement for that round. Stoked with that. That Skalmold album is quite nice. I was pleasantly surprised.

Have something a bit testing for the next round though. Could go either way.

wolfking · « **Reply #2056 on:** October 13, 2023, 04:01:39 PM »

I don't have an extra Credit song though yet. Might be 24 hours or so before I submit Tim.

I know, thought it might be in your wheelhouse, I just guessed wrong.

For me, the youthful energy combines with a ton of talent on the instruments, and some good, simple rock songwriting.

I've been sent them before, and everything I've sampled by them has been extremely underwhelming. The song you sent was fine, but like Spanish, I'm probably less likely to like something sung in Mexican.
They're like the female Kings X I guess. Their style is better, but it's just hum drum rock, and maybe there's a song out there that'll change my mind.

This is why I said last roulette that Tim has some Johnny Lawrence in him.

Who's Johnny Lawrence?

I'm happy to report that I have 10 entries in so far. Not listening to anything today though. Spinning the Strortregn again.
