Is it just me or did someone send me a song such that the title of the song, if translated to Latin, is the name of the band?
Well, that confirms it, forget not.

If Shadow Ninja sent Devil Doll (Mr Doctor) all three of the 10/10 songs in my epic round will be in  :tup

This is a humbling experience.  One, I've won trivia contests in like five states based on my musical knowledge, and I recognize maybe half the bands mentioned here.   Two, all this about "I know what so-and-so sent" and "I've sent the same band as so-and-so" is stunning, because I can barely remember what I sent, let alone being able to guess what someone else sent.

Hahahaha!

Once you've played in a couple dozen of these things, it's rare to see songs you don't recognize. Some people even start submitting each other's songs--it's an incestuous circle jerk.

Wow--I sound bitter about this, I really ought to take a break, lol.

tbh i try to mix things up a little bit but there are also "those" songs that are kind of worth showing to everyone
i've actually managed to avoid sending songs or artists people sent me in my roulette thus far though

Basically what seneca said.

I'm starting to notice a couple of songs that I wish to keep sending whenever I get the chance, but overall I really try to be as original as possible. I think I've only sent one song in this roulette that I have sent before (in the female vocals round), Snake Eyes by Feint, though I don't remember who I sent it to. Oh and Architect of Fortune is also a repeat, nevermind.

aside from buzzcut season and this round, all the other songs i sent i haven't sent before
i sent a lot more repeat songs in sacul's roulette though but one of them was a song that had scored way low in the last two roulettes i'd sent it in so  :lol

I've watched these threads for years, and played in a few. In the average round, I would recognise at most half the bands sent. Often, it's far less than that.

Damn. Just randomly stumbled upon that Diablo Swing Orchestra song that got 5 points in this roulette, it's awesome. Basically the kind of music I've been looking for lately, don't know how I missed it as they get mentioned fairly often around here.

Don't mind me, just saving this thread from the second page...... again. What's going on dude? No harm in delaying things a bit when necessary (though it does start to take its toll now), but if you're going to, at least update us on the situation or something.

A lot of people (including me) are desperately trying to keep the thread alive with discussions about our songs and stuff. You probably have more important things going on and I don't want to come across as a jerk, but the participants seem to care more about the roulette than you.

Sorry for the delay.

Have had some medical issues going on, and it's harder to find a block of open time to listen to all the longer songs.

5 - Star Fucking Hipsters - Two Cups of Tea - Ultimetalhead

Don't really know why as it's not really what I would typically call 'my style' but this song waS fuckin' awesome. Enjoyed quite a bit.

Just browsing through here and nicely surprised to find this gem on here. I LOVE Star Fucking Hipsters (along with STZA's other stuff, Leftover Crack and Choking Victim). If you like this I'd personally recommend their last album From the Dumpster to the Grave, it is chock full of their catchiest stuff to date IMO. So happy to see them on here and that you liked them. If you do another roulette I'll be all over it.

Hopefully I will have results tomorrow or Wednesday.

Regarding results I will say so far there is a one and a five.

You can also all start thinking about the next theme which is 'fun'.

Example songs could be Devin Townsend's "Bad Devil", The Dear Hunter's "King of Swords (Reversed)"

Hell yeah, I can do a fun song. Last time this was a theme in a roulette I sent King of Swords (Reversed) so I guess I have a better grasp of what you consider fun than in the relaxing round.

Sorry for the long delay guys.

5 - Bent Knee - Being Human - Sacul

It sounds to me like you listened to my reference songs and really ran with the Yakushimaru one, which is great. While it didn't quite get there for length, damn did this song have the feel I wanted. Really enjoyed this song.

4 - Ne Obliviscaris - Forget Not - Parama

Good stuff here. Violin may be my second favourite instrument after guitar, and when those two come together it's just...


4 - Ne Obliviscaris - And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope - Scorpion

Similar to my feelings on the other song by this group. I liked it a lot. I think I liked this song just a little bit better, but not enough to be a whole extra point.

4 - Marillion - Neverland - Stadler

Cool tune. I know this band is pretty popular around these parts and I see why. Definitely enjoyed this one.

4 - Between the Buried and Me - Lay Your Ghosts to Rest - Ultimetalhead

So like almost everyone who was into prog metal in 2007 I am quite familiar with Colors, and I like Selkies a lot, but other than that I don't listen to a lot of BTBAM. After being thoroughly disappointed with The Great Misdirect I stopped listening to their new releases and this song has convinced me that that was probably a mistake. Good stuff.

4 - Haken - Visions - Sir Walrus Cauliflower

Pretty cool song. Reminded me of DT a lot. The story of the song was interesting and I enjoyed the journey it went on, musically.

4 - The Human Abstract - Antebellum - Train of Naught

The only song by this band I really know is Vela, Together We Await the Storm, and I love that song. This song reminds me of it in a good way.

3 - While Heaven Wept - The Furthest Shore - Shadow Ninja 2.0

Cool tune, but nothing about it really grabbed me or stood out.

3 - Agalloch - In the Shadow of our Pale Companion - senecadawg2

So I've tried to get into Agalloch before without much success, and I'm having the same problem here: I'm just not into Black Metal. I note some Folk influences as well which I liked a bit more, but overall the Black Metal elements really kept this from being something I could get into.

1 - Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - Allah, Mohammed, Char, Yaar - Fluffy Lothario

This song... was just 100% not my style. I did not enjoy it. It honestly took quite a bit of willpower to get through it. My reaction was basically:



Standings:
Sacul - 24
Train of Naught - 23
Scorpion - 23
Ultimetalhead - 22
Sir Walrus Cauliflower - 21
Stadler - 20
Senecadawg2 - 19
Shadow Ninja 2.0 - 19
Parama - 19
Fluffy Lothario - 17

I'll repeat next round's theme is fun. Some example songs are Devin Townsend's "Bad Devil", The Dear Hunter's "King of Swords (Reversed)".
