The Song Roulette Tracker Thread 3.0 - v. Betting on red just this once

[jingle.boy]

thinking i'm half-interested in running a mini-roulette sometime that's restricted only to electronic or adjacent music, people here have sent me good stuff along that lines and it'd be nice to run a rankdown that's not getting bogged down with generic prog metal song #588 every round, idk 

How to not invite jingle.boy without saying "you're not invited, jingle.boy".

Definitely down for this, we seem to have more overlap there than in most other categories, if I can manage to find the right songs... 

As someone who did an electronic-only roulette too, making it shorter than usual is probably a good idea; I don't think most people on here have enough stuff to send for 8 straight rounds of that.

Of regulars, I'm thinking there's probably a good half-dozen+ who could keep it up indefinitely, another similar number who could do it but would start feeling stretched after awhile, and then a bunch who are just going to nope out of participating at all.

I only got nine people in mine, and a few of them were basically just sending every electronic or electronic-leaning artist they liked, as opposed to curating from a large amount.

Although even that can be tricky.  A lot of hosts seem to want sort of "novelty" music, that's either very experimental or is kind of like "the DT of x genre".  The pool expands exponentially when people just enjoy quality music, even if it's a more conventional example of the style.  Difficult balance there.

I have tons of electronic music to pull from.

[Buddyhunter1]

I should have enough too, though I usually ignore prog metal in Crow's roulettes and still don't do very well, so I expect my performance to be about the same as usual.

[Crow]

i think you have to be a little bit insane and/or be ariich to do well in my roulettes 

[ariich]

Those two things are definitely not mutually exclusive.

[Crow]

which is exactly why you do so well! you have the power of both on your side

clarence clarity is still overall my favorite thing i discovered last roulette, anyways, and closest to where my music tastes are now too so 

[ariich]

Nice! Although I share the credit for that with Lucas I think it was? I still chuckle about your first impression for the one I sent though.

But yeah that's a great album, and the one after it was good too.

[lonestar]

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't do well in it. I maybe have three bands off the top of my head to send.

iiii did not like the follow-up very much, it felt really scaled-down from no now and beholden to a lot of my least favorite tropes in popular electronic music from the mid 2010's  idk it wasn't bad but nothing about it grabbed me

I feel you, dude.

[jingle.boy]

I feel you, dude.

It was the perfect gif reaction.

[Sacul]

I'm def in to send like 1 really good song, and many awful ones

[Crow]

plot twist: i have already heard the really good song and so you can only send awful ones

[ariich]

plot twist: i have already heard the really good song and so you can only send awful ones

double twist: this applies to everyone and you end up disliking all the music even more than a regular roulette

[Crow]

it's entirely possible! but i don't see myself running more than 5 rounds of this, anyways. so i won't have to suffer for too long

So, it will be the Napalm Death of roulettes 

[Buddyhunter1]

Wolfking's on his last round so I think Evermind could get started if he wants. Indi's should be getting there soon too, then I'm up

[Evermind]

Yeah I'm definitely up for this. I'll probably launch the thread tomorrow.

[jingle.boy]

Goddamn.... I'm gonna miss the first 2 weeks of this being on vacation.  Hopefully I can figure out a way to pre-submit before the weekend.

It hasn’t even started and you’re whining already??

You really need to look up the definition of "whining".

[wolfking]

I was going to take a break from roulettes once I was done but.......

No worries, I'll post the themes for the first two rounds ahead of time! Well, not all of them, but you'll see. And the themes are gonna be optional anyway. Just give me good music, that's gonna be the focus.

There's no way you're skipping this mate.

The post will be up in a few hours.

Alright, the thread is up!

The doc roulette might be going into hiatus status soon, if you wanted to prepare, then I'll give Indi's slot to Metro.

I'm pretty much ready to go, so let me know. Did you message Doc?

[Buddyhunter1]

I think I'd like to get started next weekend if we still haven't heard anything from Dr. DTVT.

EDIT: Got the go-ahead from Bolsters. OP will be up sometime this week.

Get ready for some bullshit. Also... you might want to keep your racer avatars up.
