Nick's Roulette: Final Results Posted
« on: November 14, 2011, 08:58:03 PM »
Well, here we are and I am personally very excited to be doing this. I'm hoping to discover some great new music. I remember someone wondering how, if I don't have a last.fm people would know what I have and don't. Well here is what I'd suggest. Go to https://www.wpapu.com/Setlists.html and use a ctrl+f search feature to see if a band has been played on my show. However keep the following in mind.

1. At the bottom of the page there are links to prior years, and you would do well to quickly search those as well.

2. In the current year I've been letting people do guest blocks, and if an artist is in one and nowhere else chances are I've only heard that song by the artist.

Onto scoring. There are 8 of you and I have decided I will grade all songs between 1 and 10 points without repeating any numbers. This means if I think a round is particularly strong I will score between 3 and 10, really weak, 1 through 8, or possibly use 1 and 10 and put a break wherever I see a quality drop etc.

I will always send out a PM and submissions should be in within 48 hours of that initial PM.

There shall be 6-8 rounds, and shall make that determination after a few rounds.

So, here we go!

This first round is called First Impressions and here is how it'll work. I'm going to wait till everyone has their song sent line them up and listen to them exactly 1 time before ranking them all. I will keep listening to comment on the songs but their point value will be assessed after that very first listen. I ask for this round that songs be kept under 7 minutes in length.

Good luck to the following:
Ariich
(x) Perpetual Change
Wolfking
(x) YtseBitsySpider
(x) DTVT
(x) Ravenheart
(x) Jingle.Boy
(x) Clairvoyant Cat

Cool. Sending now. I like how you're doing rounds. I wish I would have stuff with having clear winners/losers in all my roulette's rounds. Makes things much more interesting that way.

Gee thanks Nem.  :blush  I appreciate the support.  :biggrin:

Nick, are you looking to this roulette for band discovery, for fun, or just to listen to some good tunes?  I ask, because if it's for discovering new bands, I'll stay away from one-hit wonders. If it's for fun/good tunes, then I might throw you a great song from a so-so band.

Tough given the competitors too!!!

P.S.  I was joking Nem. My guess is you're rooting for Z to be a repeat champ, or Rich to be a Euro champ.

I have about 8 to ten bands I've never seen you play or talk about, so hopefully the rounds work out in my favor. Plus I have a few "go to" bands that I use in roulettes.

No doubt I'll lose to Raven again.
Take care everyone - Bet you all didn't even notice I was gone.

Right I've got a couple of ideas, but before I pick one, I'm assuming from your edit that there's no longer the requirement for entries to be mp3s? A lot of my listening is on Spotify, and so requiring mp3s would severely limit what I can send.

And if so, what sorts of link would you prefer? Spotify? Grooveshark?

I would prefer not to get links unless completely necessary.

All submissions are in and I'm listening now for ranking purposes.
