Can I be added to the waiting list Dave please.  Looking at running another roulette but not until March/April.
I'm in too! Looking to participate in more of these. It's been fun getting to know everyone's music tastes and find new music at the same time.

Bolsters, looks like the OP is getting pretty massive. Do you want me to move a whole bunch of older completed roulettes to the archive?
Sure.
Cool, all done for roulettes that finished in 2016 or earlier. OP now just has 2017 finishes.

Ariich is a freak, or somehow has more hours in the day than everyone else.

Please do so you can get revenge on me for cutting you in the prelims of my last roulette (side note I was genuinely sad I had to cut you becsuse you have a history of sending me good metal but I didn't like that textures song that much so :V)

Oh, that will be jolly. I have a great idea for a format for the next roulette, but I need to fine-tune it a bit. It’ll be hilarious and fun. It’s good being on holiday right now, it gives you time to think about silly things like that.

I said earlier in the thread that I intended to run a mini roulette towards the end of January and so far I'm on track to not be busy then. Now normally I wait until the thread was made to unveil what will be going on, and I'm keeping the details under wraps until then (some of it is still being worked out anyway), but this mini roulette will have a theme that will probably put off a bunch of people, so I wanted to let everyone know what that was for two reasons: Firstly, despite knowing that not all of the regular roulette crowd actually read this thread I know most of you do, so I wanted to gauge your interest; if there's only going to be three people joining I might not bother. :lol Secondly, some of you I expect will find this theme easy and you keep track of stuff that you won't need any time to prepare at all, but some of you might. So if you are interested in joining or not sure yet, you still have about a month to decide.

Anyway, for most of last year I was checking out new releases constantly as usual. While there ended up not being too small a number of releases by the end (I probably looked into too many new things during November/December, I definitely added a lot more during these last two months) and while there was most definitely some quality stuff in there I found that there was a lesser percentage of quality than in previous years. So the idea I had several months ago was to run a mini roulette and have people send me songs exclusively from 2017 releases in the hopes of finding some more good stuff.

Now as I mentioned, I listened to a lot recently and the reason I'm worried about a lack of interest in this is the size of the banned list. I have completely stopped looking for new albums from 2017 so the list I have now will be the list I use for the roulette. It's 123 albums long.

Some info about the roulette:
  • Five rounds
  • I will keep a list of sent songs that didn't really appeal to me, and other people will be able to resend from that album if they think they can do better (limit once per album)
  • Multiple songs from the same album per round allowed (undecided on limit), but if people send the same song, someone will be resubmitting
  • I might let you send one or two non-2017 songs (still undecided), but even if I do, you will be encouraged to send 2017 songs in all rounds (bonus points)
  • I might let you send 2018 releases and have them count, just to make it easier for you guys to find stuff to send, but it's probaby not going to help all that much anyway

I know several of you listened to more albums than I did, likely a lot more, and you probably have too much to choose from for only five rounds. Other are probably thinking this roulette would be hell. Some of you might literally have nothing to send if you listened to too few albums and/or we have a lot of crossover. :lol So check the banned list and let me know if you think you would like to play in this.

I'm a huge 2017 music fan and got plenty that are not on that list, so I'm definitely down for this roulette. If you'll have mercy on me for kicking you out in my prelims, that is :lol

Any chance you're going to reveal your ranking of the 2017 albums you listened to, or a top 5 or something similar, to get an indication of what you liked?

Right off the bat I see at least a dozen that'd probably make my Top 50 that you don't have listed.  I'm game.

Maybe one way to 'stretch' the 2017 rule would be to allow participants 1 submission from a prior year release from a band on the banned list - for example, from Night Flight Orchertra's 2015 album, Skyline Whispers?  But in all honesty, if it's only 5 rounds, then no one should sign up if they don't have at least 5 good albums from bands not on that list.

But in all honesty, if it's only 5 rounds, then no one should sign up if they don't have at least 5 good albums from bands not on that list.

Well,you need more than 5 albums, in the event other participants send you stuff that you planned on sending.

I'm hesitant to join. I do have more than 5 albums not on Bolsters' list, but I don't really have a lot of 'good' stuff to send him. This year turned out to be quite lackluster for me with regards to getting new music. I 'only' listened to 33 new albums in total, so that's not a lot to choose from.

Maybe I should do one in the next year

You can at least sign me up for a new one!

I thought you might be out, your banned list for your current roulette is only about 140. :lol Glad to have you on board though, what I got from you in my last roulette was a bit of a mixed bag but there was some really good stuff in there too. Infact Xerath's III is my most listened to albums of the previous 365 days on Last.fm. :metal

I won't be having eliminations either so if you join, you're in for all five rounds.

Any chance you're going to reveal your ranking of the 2017 albums you listened to, or a top 5 or something similar, to get an indication of what you liked?
I could work on a top 5 or 10, maybe ranking them but maybe not. I'll have something ready by the time the roulette begins.

Well,you need more than 5 albums, in the event other participants send you stuff that you planned on sending.
I was worried about this too, which is why I was considering allowing non-2017 releases (so if someone were cockblocked so much that they actually ran out of things to send, they could at least throw in some older stuff for the last 1-2 rounds), multiple from the same album in a round, and the 'second chance' idea so some submissions could be reused. But yeah with 33 albums to choose from and probably a decent number of them already being banned, seems like a rough time for you unfortunately.

Maybe I should do one in the next year

You can at least sign me up for a new one!
You're on the list! :tup

Nice, III is great! :2metal: There's plenty of 2017 albums I listened to that aren't on the banned list because I'm not fully familiar with them yet, it's been a pretty overwhelming year. I'm working on it though, should have some stuff picked out by the time the roulette starts.

I received a Mastodon song in my first roulette and have heard a couple of others, I wasn't impressed by any of them. I did notice that their new album was reasonably popular in the Top 5 Albums thread though so it won't be any surprise to me when get a song or two from that album.

I think I have a good idea of what I want to do for my roulette. Could you add me to the waiting list please?

There will be 10 rounds, some with themes (don't worry, most of the themes are pretty broad, with a lot of room for interpretation). I'm working on my banned list still, trying to make it as thorough as possible. I'm looking for 10 participants. Any takers?
