MoraWintersoul's song roulette v. THIS IS THE END

[Elite]

For this last round, I'll compile you a nice list tomorrow. I'm very tired now, so sleep has my priority.

Fuck sleep, SENT.

[Dr. DTVT]

That last round makes it real easy to pin down the Mystery participant because there are probably only four people on DTF who are even aware of the band Mystery, despite my addition of them to my list.  It's not me, so leaves three other people.

[Ruba]

Now I just try to keep Lolzeez behind me.

[Lolzeez]

-.-

[Dr. DTVT]

THANKS, I always forget.

[Scorpion]

Thank you, whoever was the kind soul that introduced me to Agalloch.

Will send shortly.

[YtseBitsySpider]

im happy to have one hit this roulette...seemed I was languishing in mediocre.


I'll find something I gotta review what I sent already....

[Ruba]

So, is 20 minutes a target or could I send you a one-minute song if I like?

[Onno]

Sent

[MoraWintersoul]

You can send whatever as long as the total running time is under 20 minutes, I don't care what you send

[Ruba]

Sent.

[MoraWintersoul]

Oh... gosh I am so going to miss this when it's over

[Lolzeez]

Gonna send tomorrow. Flooded with homework.

[Scorpion]

Sent. Complete with almost novel-length PM, but fuck it.

[ariich]

Round 7 sent!

[YtseBitsySpider]

amen!.....to think if we hadn't had a 48 hour submission deadline...

[Scorpion]

Is everybody in?

[MoraWintersoul]

Is everybody in?

Yup! I'll probably judge tonight or early next morning, I should have done it yesterday but I couldn't focus on anything and I want to give you guys a nice goodbye post

[wasteland]

Are we at the last round already? :O This roulette should have lasted way longer!

Those waiting for their turn to start a roulette might disagree...

Nah, looks like this roulette has been really cool, I would've been glad to participate if Milena didn't already know so many of the bands I like

Among those I shall number myself

[MoraWintersoul]

I have all the scores and a couple of versions of my relatively lengthy writeup ready, except for the fact I misplaced Spider's PM (I think it happened to me once per every person who sent me PMs instead of emails ). And I even remember one of his songs from when I read the PM, but I don't remember the other one so whenever he reappears and re-sends, this is all over.

Shit, I am sad.

[MoraWintersoul]

Results time!

Lolzeez
Genesis block
Dancing with the Moonlit Knight 8/10
I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe) 8/10
Firth of Fifth 8/10
8 x 2 = 16
Liked these way more than the first Genesis song you sent me, nice job there.

Ariich
Moon Safari – A Kid Called Panic 8/10
Moon Safari – The World’s Best Dreamers 8/10
8 x 2 = 16
Pretty sweet and uplifting stuff, and they sure know how to close a song, which is something I like in a band.

Ruba
Death – Crystal Mountain 9/10
Djerv – Only I Exist 7/10
(9+7)/2 = 8
8 x 2 = 16
Ruba sent me a death metal classic and another song of his favorite singer and they were cool beans most of the time

Mystery Participant
darkology – violent vertigo 7/10
beyond twilight – perfect dark 7/10
Savatage - Christmas Eve / Sarajevo 12-24 7/10
Tesla - Edison's medicine 8.5/10
(7+7+7+8.5)/4 = 7.375
7.375 x 2 = 14.75
The first three songs were somehow ordinary (with the exclusion of EXCEPTIONAL vocals by Jorn and Kelly - whoever you are, you know my vocalists) but good, and the Tesla song really hit the jackpot. Nice work.

Dr. DTVT
Fair To Midland block
Dance of the Manatee – 8/10
Vice/Versa – 8/10
Whiskey and Ritalin – 8/10
A Loophole In Limbo – 9/10
Rikki Tikki Tava – 7/10
(8+8+8+9+7)/5 = 8
8 x 2 = 16
Fair To Midland is one of those bands some of my friends have always poked me to check out, and I have to say, my first impression, based on the very few songs I've heard of theirs, they sound like Coheed & Cambria would sound if they were awesome (sorry Nick, if you're reading this ). Very good.

Elite
DARKWATER - Again 8.5/10
8.5 x 2 = 17
Elite sent me one, Swedish melodic prog metal song. The dude knows I love my Wolverine and Seventh Wonder and Nightingale and what have you. Or just guesses pretty good These guys are excellent.

YtseBitsySpider
Bullet For My Valentine – The End 6/10
Anthrax - In The End 8/10
7 x 2 = 14
One relatively okay but unremarkable BFMV song and a well-structured Anthrax song off their last album which I dug. Appropriate names for the final round, also

Onno
Jurojin - The Winter 8/10
Karnivool - All I Know 8.5/10
Flying Colors – Blue Ocean 8/10
Motorhead – Going To Brazil 7/10
(8+8.5+8+7)/4 = 7.875
7.875 x 2 = 15.75
So, another band in this roulette I haven't previously heard of (Jurojin), the only Flying Colors song I actually remember off their album, and wow Karnivool sounds good, they remind me of someone. Great round, loved it.

Scorp
Ensiferum  - Token Of Time 8/10
Ozric Tentacles – Snakepit  7/10
The Cat Empire – Fishies 8.5/10
Devin Townsend – Deep Peace 9/10
(8+7+8.5+9)/4 = 8.125
8.125 x 2 = 16.25
The short psychodelic song was just okay but then that awesome song you got in your roulette really hit the jackpot and I have to say the Devin song you sent me is my favorite DT song yet. Great work as always Scorp.

The final standings:
Scorpion - 50.75 points
Elite - 47 points
ariich - 45.5 points
Dr. DTVT - 45 points
Mystery Participant - 43.25 points
YtseBitsySpider - 42 points
Onno - 39.75 points
Ruba - 39 points
Lolzeez - 37.5 points

And, to make the final statement - this roulette has finally tipped me over the edge in regards to checking out some long overdue bands, so if I run another one without having these bands in the updated forbidden list, you have every right to round-kick me:

Evergrey
In Mourning
Incura
Bruce Dickinson (seriously I'm an idiot)
Haken
Anathema
Devin Townsend (although I've gotten a little farther with him during the course of this roulette)
Von Hertzen Brothers
Star One
Ihsahn
Diablo Swing Orchestra
Frost*
Moonloop
After Forever
Theocracy
Agalloch
IQ
Jeff Buckley
Death (seriously I'm an idiot)
Darkwater

And probably, I will in the very least youtube the albums which contained all the other songs I've liked.

Thanks for participating. You were great. see all of you on some other GMD battlegrounds.

[Scorpion]

Thanks for running this Milena. I had a lot of fun and I'm glad that I could introduce you to some awesome stuff.

EDIT: Will Mystery Guy reveal his identity now? I wanna know who I've beaten.

[Onno]

Yay, this roulette was fun! Thanks for running it. Glad you liked Jurojin

[YtseBitsySpider]

glad you found some new music

[Nekov]

Congrats Scorp 

[Ruba]

Well, thanks Milena, I had good times. And I didn't finish at the last position, it's a good start for roulettes.

[Lolzeez]

Well, thanks Milena, I had good times. And I didn't finish at the last position, it's a good start for roulettes.

[ariich]

Ah, I'd assumed we had to send 20 minutes by the same band or artist! Ah well, no matter.

Cool roulette, was lots of fun. And congrats to Scrop!

[Nekov]

Cool roulette, was lots of fun. And congrats to Scrop!

You should have sent Heartland instead of The World's Best Dreamer

[Elite]

Good, most points in the final round! Which was exactly what I aimed for, but I lost anyway.
Congrats to my buddy Scroppy for winning!

And Milena, enjoy all the bands you can check out now
