Can I send for the next 3 rounds already in advance? I'm going to be on holiday camping and most of the time without internet for 10 days a week from now, and I don't want to hold everything up.

If you're worried I'm going to steal away possibilites from other people by sending earlier, I'm pretty sure all of my stuff is obscure enough no one else would send it :P.

Sent a song off one of my favorite indie-rock albums

I think that would be fine Tyrias, and in the slim chance that someone does send one of those bands/songs you could maybe send 'substitute' songs along with them or something.

That's what I did. I'm not really all that confident I'll get back in the first spot with the 3 songs I sent, but I did promise to send mikemangjoy stuff outside of his comfort zone, and I try not to go back on promises. I'm curiously awaiting results.

Any chance you can update the OP with 'artists banned during this roulette'? I'm too lazy to search through and see if an artist I'm planning to send has already been sent.

Will send today by the way  :yarr

I think this doesn't describe my song at all - what about the great drumming or the heavy guitars towards the end? There's barely keyboards there too afaik. Sure you listened to the correct track? :P

So can I complain about only getting a 7 on a song that blew him away on first listen?  Haha.

I probably asked this before but I forgot: With themed rounds, do you partially rate the songs on how fitting they are to the themes or is it like you check if it fits the theme and then you rate the song on its own.

Asking this because I have a lot of songs with dark subject matters that aren't all that dark instrumentally but I think they're very good songs nonetheless.

Dark lyrical subjects won't work. I sent Absolute Priority - Fear of the Night in the dark round in his v1 and I've got 3 points reduction or something.
This first band is Soen very cool swingy jazz fusion kinda stuff.

Yeah I was planning to go with a heavy metal tune but if you get point deduction for it not sounding dark enough I'll probably end up just sending some depressing shoegaze or black metal or something :lol I don't have any dark stuff in the vein of Swans, or Circle Takes The Square, some extremely dark shit I've gotten in my roulette.

I'm not actually saying that, maybe Mike's concept of dark rounds changed over this year, but last time I sent a song that was pretty damn dark lyrically and got points deduced.

I do, actually.

Could be, but the music has to have also some darkness to it. I didn't find it in Ev's song, personally.. but anyway, you'll see once I write the description of that round.

Anyways, bad news for y'all.
I have a wedding tomorrow, so I'll leave for three or four days. I won't be able to listen to the tracks at all, this should change on monday, or even saturday/sunday.

Results tomorrow, but as of now:

TIDBITS GALORE

I'm not that much into this genre, but the grooviness and fun of this piece makes me like it quite a good lot.

Digging the latin vibes in this tune.

The second half is nothing compared to the first one, infact it does feel a bit inconsistent. It's the only flaw in an otherwise excellent track.

I can almost taste the groove, like, it's in my mouth. It's insane.

Very interesting track, I love the vocals. Meaning both vocalists. The song represents its title at best.

Catchy and quirky tune, I can dig it. I regret not exploring this band since it's pretty huge, but I think I'll get around to it.

Sick vibe, the songwriting is amazing here. Feels real dirty at certain points.

Unexpectedly circus-y-like. Not that I'm complaining, mind you

What a track. Reminds me of Opeth in certain points, but overall it's an excellent song from start to finish.

Kind of standard riffing going on, but the sheer energy in this one makes it good.

Man, I have no idea where this comes from, but it's how I'd like to party.
