Cup's Roulette 2 v. Judgement Day!
« on: March 28, 2012, 11:26:51 PM »
Welcome one and all! 

I have once again decided to let a bunch of strangers send me music I've never heard.  Again.  I've learned some things about roulette-ing from holding one (and getting dead last in at least 3 or so).  I was quite generous in rating last time around.  NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!  (Actually, I usually end up finding something to enjoy in most music I stumble upon.  However, it's not gonna be like last time where barely anyone got less than an 8/10 on a regular basis.  :P )  Anyways, songs will be rated a number from 1-10, 1 being piss-poor, 10 being astounding(-ly good). 

The themes in each round will be odd, just like last time.  Also, being inspired by orcus, I will do some random number-picking with some of those themes, so you may end up with some real easy or real difficult stuff depending on how Lady Luck's been feeling lately. 

As for my tastes, well, I (STILL) do not have a last.fm or anything similar, so I'll give a brief and vague description.  I'm pretty open-minded, in regards to music.  I can dig the prog-metal and (some) pop.  Jazz is something that really interests me.  Orchestral music is something that can really take me places.  If the music takes me somewhere, odds are I'm gonna be liking it.  Go with your heart. 

The competitors:

Antigoon
DTVT (the reigning champion!)
Gorille
kári
Kim Jong
Lie Low The Black Man
lonestar
obscure
and
Ytse

Round One is  A Good Start! 

What do you do here? 

It's simple:

1.  I send you a number between 1 and 26.  It stays a secret between you and I.

2.  Whatever number it is, you have to send in a song by an artist whose name begins with the number's corresponding letter.  (For example, A=1, G=7, Z=26, ect.) 

3.  If you want to send in a band who's name begins with a number, it's acceptable, as long as that number's word form starts with your letter.

4.  Let's get this thing rolling!  ^^

Couple of quick questions, is a youtube link ok?

If you are familiar with  the song, I assume you will let us know...

And are live songs cool?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes, provided it's a decent recording.

I was asked about this just now, and will make this known to everyone: if the artist is a person, we're going by their last name.  If it's multiple people, go by the first person's last name.  For example, if you had S, you could send in say, William Shatner or Simon and Garfunkel.

But how can we keep the number a secret? When you post the round results we'll be able to see what letter each of the artists starts with and thus what number everyone has right? :)

Wonder if you rolled 24 on anyone?  Likin my number.  Lots of options.  *ponders*

Could be difficult to pull of back-to-back victories here.  Cup, do you have last.fm or something?  I perused your last roulette, but would be helpful to see what you already know.

Another quick question.
Was I in your previous roulette?

(edit)

Never mind, I just checked the "tracker" and it appears that I wasnt.

Song will be sent this evening when I get home from work.
So. About 7 hours from now.

Actually, I would have preferred X over my current letter.

As long as the rest of the rounds have an extreme luck element it will even out.

It stays a secret until the round's over and result's posted.

So, don't go around talking about your letter like antigoon.   :biggrin:

You should punish him by drawing a new letter for him!


You're welcome, antigoon. Of course that was probably your plan all along. Curse you, antigoon.
Only King could mis-spell a LETTER.
Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

Will send as soon as I gets response to PM question.  Ignore question on last.fm... need to pay attention to ENTIRE OP.

Also, deadline is ??

I am the same age as the host, and your words taint my virgin ears. Also, I listen to many artists with my letter, so this might be a tough choice.

QUESTION FOR SHAKEY: What are your views on electronic music?

Well, it's time you two grow the fuck up :lol

I'm torn whether to side with my generation, or my country-men.  There's enough fogey-vs-kid discussion on the boards, so Kris, whatdya say... let's side with Marc and Jordan here.  Team Canada!!!!  And Nem as an honorary Canuck.
