Penultimate Round:Great submissions from everyone, there really wasn't a bad song in the bunch, it was pretty hard to rank.
Best:BirchBoy - Tay Zonday - Chocolate Rain - Greatest song ever motherfuckers. Don't agree? Fuck you. The piano bit is actually really cool, and the drums, while insanely cheesy, work really well. Most importantly, it's pretty catchy, which is good, because you're gonna be hearing the same melody for five minutes. Even the verse and chorus have the same melody. Doesn't get more avant-garde than that bitches.
Very Good:Orcus - Sleep In - Two Hands - This was a really cool song. Very mellow and restrained, and the percussion worked really well. Still, it's not chocolate rain.
Good: Gorille - Cardiacs - Jibber and Twitch - Pretty much the kind of music I was expecting to get this round. Really crazy, psychotic, and quirky. Reminded me of a 'classic' prog band on crack.
Ariich - Mr. Bungle - Squeeze Me Macaroni -
Mike Patton. I really need to get more Mr. Bungle, I don't know why I don't have more.
Cole - Tenacious D - Tribute - AWWWW YEAH Heard it before, but great song nonetheless.
Still good: KingShmegland - Squirrel Nut Zippers - Hell - Really cool song, with a nice latin vibe to it, but it got a little repetitive.
Meh:Voxyn - Animal Collective - My Girls - Everyone seems to jack off all over this band, and I'd never really payed much attention to them. This song wasn't bad by any means, but it really didn't do a ton for me.
Score:Arrich - 23
Orcus - 23
Gorille - 21
Voxyn - 16
Birch - 16
73109 - 15
Shmegland - 14
Final round! Alright, so for this last round please try to get your song in by Monday afternoon or so, so I can do this monday night, and then we'll be done before I move. If it doesn't get done then, it'll be at least a week before I can finish this.
The category will be 'short epic'. Send me a song you would describe as 'epic', but <6 minutes.
