people in this roulette

-cup

-gorille
-Iarwain
-contest_sanity
there will be no more than 6 rounds but probably less because we will all get fucking tired of this and someone won't send me a song for like 3 weeks or something
here is my last fm https://www.last.fm/user/Zyrosis
if i have plays of a band on there don't send them unless its like less than 5 plays.
also, i reset my thing last year so there might be something you send that i already know but isn't on my last.fm, so i'll let you know.
ok
first round is a song that makes you want to kill yourself.
-
why the fuck am I not in this
-
oh also, if you wouldn't mind please send me the actual mp3 because i like to keep my last fm as accurate as possible.
if you don't send me the mp3 i will just download the entire album its on anyway so
-
why the fuck am I not in this
because i hate you
-
oh yeah i forgot
-
why the fuck am I not in this
because you both know all of each other's bands :lol

I already pmed it. And I'm just going to use spotify if that's ok, you can scrobble from it.
-
yea thats fine

Sent. Just noticed a lack of suicidal music in my collection, so it may not be the most appropriate pick.
Sorry, couldn't find an mp3.
EDIT. If you want to keep your lastfm accurate try this

But I don't have a link to the new Adrenaline Mob...
:neverusethis:
Scouring songs now, will send ASAP.
-
This will be difficult...
-
thread title no no
-
can i join?
-
Gmailed.

This is a solid group.
I like CS, or ninja to take this.
Ariich has a strong base but suffers from random willy-nillyness with his picks.

I would be shocked if I won this, actually, but thanks for the vote of confidence. My tastes seem to be quite different from Quad's, which is good for variety's sake but bad for winning.
-
Haha, I could tell which mod changed the title without even looking. :lol
-
waiting on rich, matt and marc.
-
Sorry dude, been away and just got back today. Will send something tonight!
-
Coulda sworn I was in this one. :lol Guess I was wrong.
-
Sent a Spotify link via PM, let me know if it doesn't work.

If it doesn't I can just look the song up myself. Thanks though!
-
How was I not invited? I'm twice as old as cup so I know a ton of music, and I'm 1/10th the post whore so I'm 10x as awesome.
Also this:
best co-host block evar
word.
-
you and mizzl can be backups if people decide to stop participating
-
I've been on a camping trip and just got back tonight so I'll send something shortly! :tup
-
K!
-
Also, just a public service announcement, I will be away from Sunday the 14th to the following Sunday, so there will be no new updates. I'll have the first rounds results up in a day or so, and you guys can send stuff but I won't be home to listen at all, so we'll be on hiatus for a week.

Any chance you can post your categories (if you know them already), so that we may organize our strategery?

I am against this idea...

Oh, on a much more important matter, just noticed:
so we'll be on hiatus for a week.
Now you listen here, man. I know you may have lots of other musical endeavors to keep your ears warm for those next 7 days. We don't. All we have is this roulette! I don't care if it's under your account that you've pored your blood, sweat, and tears into over the last 25 months. There 7 other people in this thing, and you've got to respect that. Do what you feel like you have to do, but just know, come the 14th, we'll be continuing Quad's roulette: WITH OR WITHOUT YOU. I'm sure there are lots of other posters with respected tastes just dying to get into a month-long commitment with the 7 of us. Think seriously about this; we're not joking!

I am against the idea of posting the round themes before we do the rounds because that would make it more like Alex's roulette and I hate that one.

which is why i won't do it. also i won't think of the rounds until i write them here
-
I really don't care that much; it was just a small suggestion. It's not like I'm trying to take things over.
However, if Quad is abducted by aliens on his trip and brain-raped, never to this mortal coil to return, everybody else cool with me finishing it?

Song sent.
-
listening to them all now. expect results in an hour or so
-
round 1 results
theme - a song that makes you want to kill yourself
1. Seth - Elliot Smith - Waltz #1
:hefdaddy :hefdaddy :hefdaddy Listening to this song made me want to stab myself in the chest twice. Your description of him in a PM was totally accurate and I knew I'd like it just from that description. He's most certainly on my list of MUST check out music now. I loved how layered and eerie and just overall depressing and saddening this was. 10 points.
2. Rich - Billie Holiday - Gloomy Sunday
Songs like this are the reason why I specifically invited you into my roulette. I have a BIG soft spot for 50s music and although I already knew of her (from Fallout 3 :lol) I let this slide because I only knew one song of hers. I definitely have to check out more of her stuff. Dat voice. dat fucking voice. 9 points
3. Marc - Music for Money - La Marche
omg this was so good. Even though it came in third, I really really liked this piece. The instrumentation was fucking brilliant and the production was absolutely wonderful. Everything about this song made me want to stuff a glock in my mouth. Just what I was looking for. 8 points
4. Iarwain - Whitehouse - The Avalanche
This was actually pretty cool. I've never heard anything about this band or this genre before, but it was actually pretty disorienting to listen to, and I was pretty suicidal after hearing it. I give you huge props for taking a risk on a song like this, and it definitely paid off because I really enjoyed it. I really really liked how it built up and morphed over the course of the 4 minutes, and the higher register noises really made me pretty creeped out. 6 points
5. Matt - Dethklok - Go Into the Water
:lol 4 points
6. contest_sanity - Soundgarden - 4th of July
It was an OK song, and it was at least sad, unlike the song that got last place. Overall, I'm not too crazy about grunge, but this song definitely had some good moments. Not really a big fan of Chris Cornell (know him from Audioslave) either, but it was definitely a nice song, and I wasn't bored or anything by it. 3 points
7. cup - Chick Corea/Return to Forever - Return to Forever
I already know RTF, but I don't really listen to them THAT much, and I never knew this song, so its OK this time. Anyway, the song didn't make me want to kill myself at all, and I don't really understand why it had to be 12 minutes long. Other than that, parts of it were cool, but most of it was just kind of there. 1 point

Hey! I posted the results within 5 days of getting all of the submisisons, it's not my fault everyone took so long to get their shit in. :lol
-
Glad you liked the song! :tup You should check out the album/band too!

Glad you enjoyed that song. I wasn't sure whether you'd even consider it music.

It was totally rad. Totally taken off guard by it, which is a good thing. It was also an interesting way to interpret the theme which won bonus points
EDIT: remember guys, you have over a week for this one. Make it good.
-
sent anyways
-
HELL YEAH! Glad you liked it, thought you would. And yeah, I saw that you had 1 listen of Billie Holliday in your last.fm, but figured one single listen would probably be a different song and that you weren't particularly familiar with her. :D
Now to get thinking for round 2.
*puts thinking hat on*
-
How is it that no one sent Rebecca Black - Friday?
If cup continues to suck, I'm mocking you relentlessly for taking him Quad. Then I'll mock cup for sucking. Then mock you some more probably.
-
Well, DTVT, I'm not giving up my participation-ship. I may suck, but, I intend to suck with dignity, dammit!
Also, sent.
-
Just a reminder that I won't be here until next Sunday, but please still send your submissions in and I will rank them when I return!
-
Now that you're back, song sent!
-
Just waiting on Matt to resend and for c_s to send something
-
Shit, I thought I forgot to send, did I?
-
I resent. Just hope he hasn't heard it.
-
Sent, Jesus Freak.
-
Oh, shit, Seth you didn't send. For some reason I thought you did.

DAMMIT SETH YOU TERRIBLE PERSON

Here are the results for the "Songs to Listen to While High" round.
They are posted in the order I listened to them (completely at random)
1. contest_sanity: Tourniquet -"The Skeezix Dilemma" 10 points
Holy shit this was such an adventurous sounding song. i didn't even realize how long it was until the more drastically changing parts at the end of it. Overall I thought it was epically hilarious, and that it what I liked most about it.
1. Seth: Kevin Gilbert - "Suit Fugue (Dance of the A&R Men)" - 10 points
OH MY GOD those vocals were so ridiculously good. It was like Weird Al Meets Gentle Giant and Frank Zappa all in one. Totally awesome!
1. Matt: Abstract In The Sky - "Terminal 210" - 10 points
I was meaning to check out Volk's stuff, and I was glad you gave me a chance to do that now. Totally just vibed out on the song the entire time. Such wonderful and ethereal stuff.
1. Rich: Gotye - "Hearts A Mess" - 10 points
dude those lead vocals were some of the most insane things I've ever heard. The accompanying video was also incredible. so glad you sent me that, I fucking love it. damn
1. Iarwain: Fela Kuti & The Africa '70 - "Lady" - 10 points
This is the most tasteful song I've ever heard. It's so fucking groovy. How on earth do you know about this? it sounds really old but it's just so great sounding.
1. Marc: Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - "A Hymn to the Morning Star" - 10 points
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
7. Cup: Hawkwind - "Space Is Deep" - 1 point
Why the fuck did I watch all of that?

Ahh I remember when I got Suit Fugue. That one was great. Love SGM too.
And hey, Hawkwind is awesome. :\
-
Haha, poor ole' Cup. :(

I am handicapped with an inability to like the music other people here like, it seems. :sadpanda:

it's ok dude don't give up. It was an OK song but I just didn't vibe on it at all.
-
Looks like I'll keep on trying my best.
I promise not to devolve into a bunch of joke submissions, like I did with sonata from round III onwards.
-
Glad you liked SGM! :tup
-
:lol Awesome. Definitely check out Gotye's album Like Drawing Blood, I reckon you'll dig it.
-
Still waiting on everyone except cup and Iarwain
-
Gotta think about this one, cool your horses.
-
Good timing, I've been having a think and finally decided on something today. :lol
PM on its way.
-
:lol Awesome. Definitely check out Gotye's album Like Drawing Blood, I reckon you'll dig it.
Was it you who gave me that album? PROBABLY WAS
It's good anyway.
-
I'll send something tonight.
EDIT: Sent.

Results:
1. Iarwain: Wata - "Angel" - 10 points
Dude I don't know where you found this but it is like the best thing I've ever heard. I was so floored by this song that I almost didn't finish listening to the others because I wanted to listen to this over and over. This was so above and beyond the best song that the second place song only gets 7 songs, just so show superiority here.
2. Rich: Sia - "Soon We'll Be Found" - 7 points
The vocals on this were so amazing, but the thing that i really dug was how the song musically built and built up. twas very freaking awesome! :tup
3. Seth: Tomas Dvorak - "Mr. Handagote" - 6 points
really cool music to have anal sex to.
4. Marc: Ulver - "EOS" - 5 points
Really ominous sounding fucking freaking awesome shit. cool dude
5. Matt: King's X - "Cigarettes" - 4 points
Was cool, but not something I'm totally crazy about or anything. I appreciate the energy and power that this three piece make, but the music was not really that inspiring or anything to me. Still a cool tune to just jam out to though.
5. Cüp: Wayne Shorter - "Footprints" - 4 points
I'm pretty sure this is a jazz classic kind of thing, because it sounded familiar. Anyway, it was definitely a cool song, but I just wasn't really digging the instrumentation on it. Your best song by far though, Cup. Thanks.
6. contest_sanity: Ryan Adams – "Come Pick Me Up" - 2 points
Unfortunately, I didn't really get into this song at all. I can't really explain why, but I just couldn't really connect with it at all. Props for trying something different though, I definitely appreciate that.
New Ranks: Wow, three way tie, didn't even try to do that, I swear. This is really anyones game.

Is that Wata, as in the guitarist for Boris? I didn't know she did any solo stuff.
-
Zack sent me that song as soon as he finished it. I approve of it winning this round.
Also, yes it is Ian.

1. Marc: Mr. Bungle - "Goodbye Sober Day" - 10 points
Nothing short of fucking amazing. Great song, and exactly what I was asking for in the round theme.
2. contest_sanity: Lazer/Wulf – "Urine for a Treat" - 8 points
Really awesome. I was expecting a really shitty song because of the name, but they definitely delivered. Usually I don't care for metal like this, but something about it really captivated me. Great submission. I had never ever heard of this band either, and I will definitely be checking them out!
3. Seth: Jaga Jazzist - "Oslo Skyline" - 7 points
Awesome song. Another band I need to check out more. You told me about them a while ago but I never got around to them. Glad you sent them because it was really fucking groovy.
4. Matt: Anamanaguchi - "Helix Nebula" - 6 points
CHIPTUNE. YES. it was awesome. sounded familiar too, but I deff have never heard of the band or anything before. Awesome submission.
5. Iarwain: Naked City - "Osaka Bondage" - 5 points
I dug it, but not as much as the others. If anything it was a bit too short because I couldn't really get a feel for it before it was over. PM me some more of their stuff and I will definitely check them out though because I did like what I heard.
6. Rich: Nellie McKay - "There You Are In Me" - 3 points
I really tried to get into it, but I just couldn't. Something about it just didn't grab me like all your other songs have. I guess they can't all be home runs. It was still a decent song, but I just couldn't get into it that much.
7. Container: The Number 12 Looks Like You - "Like A Cat" - 2 points
Sorry man, but I could just not dig this at all. The screaming really bothered me, the clean parts were not interesting and the overall sound and production was really bad (although that could have just been a shitty quality on youtube) One more round though, send me something completely great!!
1. Seth: 33
1. Marc: 33
2. Iarwain: 31
3. Rich: 29

5. Sanity: 23

The next round will be the final round. All points in the final round will be doubled, as to give some of the guys in a lower spot a better chance.
The theme of next round is this:
Songs that make you want to lick Nick's cunt.

Awesome!! :tup Bungle is the shit.
EDIT: also i don't understand the next round
