Puppies_On_Acid's Gentlemen's Roulette! Epilogue

[Evermind]

Just noticed that Evermind and myself are tied currently for that 3rd 'cut' spot. Gulp. Good luck Evermind (and me)

I sent death metal so I'm probably going to be eliminated. Thank you though, and good luck to you too.

I sent thrash. It's a battle of brutality

I would offer you to exchange songs in PM, but knowing how you basically hate growls and screams (is that right?), and my song has no cleans at all, I don't think you would enjoy my song at all.

I do, but I enjoy some older stuff I grew up with, hence sending Naglfar  Mine doesn't really have cleans either... technically.

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

I have 7 songs in for the Heavy Round now. Just need 2 more.

Also, as a reminder, hopefully everyone is already putting together themes and a tracklist for the EP round. I have 2 EP's submitted so far. 1 of them had to make a couple changes already. Just to kind of expedite things so there isn't a delay in starting the the EP round, maybe those that haven't submitted anything for the EP round yet can get a tracklist to me as soon as possible, that way I can make sure there are no duplicate songs or nothing that I missed on my banned list.

Don't forget about the EP round!

Just need songs from Soupy and Home for the heavy round.

[Train of Naught]

How much pressure is there on the EP? I have a (quite odd considering your tastes) idea for an EP but I'm in Spain for the weekend, away from my computer pretty much the entire time. Hope the rush isn't that big, but I tend to be quick with making EPs so it shouldn't be a problem for me to have it ready on Monday/Tuesday

[The Walrus]

I am much excite for EP round

[Evermind]

I can't quite work on my EP and writeup now because, well, I'd like to know my score for this round before I finish my EP. If I get something like home got in the previous round, I may take some risks. I also kinda need the score to judge if I should include more songs like these or if I should avoid this genre.

I mean, it's your decision as a host, and I already have some ideas and possible drafts of my EP, and I'll be fine with whatever you decide to do, but I think a slightly wider timeframe for sending entries should be set for this round.

[jingle.boy]

Sent mine already.  Spent last weekend fleshing out my ideas, and I doubt any of the submitted songs from this round, or any of the players that have already submitted their EP would use the bands I did.  I didn't bother checking each band on your RYM, just against the banned list.  Hopefully they're all good-to-go.

I sent a list of ten (I think?) potential bands I'd like to send, and I think if they're all allowed I may go ahead and put something together this evening and send it in advance too, maybe. I'm not sure.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Shame.

That's for sure!

No huge rush, just want to make you all aware that it's coming up and it may take a bit more time to put something together.

Easy there Borat

There will be a wider time frame. These are just reminders that it's coming up. So no worries. If you want to wait til you get scores for this round, that's fine. I understand.

[Evermind]

In fact, I decided that if the bands I sent you via PM are allowed, I'll send either in a few hours or tomorrow.

Also, I'm not sure how pretentious was Parama's writeup, but mine is going to be like 13/10 on a pretentiousness (is that a word?) scale, seriously.

Well, he called it "intentionally super pretentious" so...... 

[Crow]

i forced a bunch of unrelated songs into a stupid/forced concept that only barely works and pretended that was the theme of the album so i could just sent a bunch of songs i really like

I'm kinda doing the same. I'd love to compare our writeups afterwards.

I haven't listened to any of the EP's that I have received yet. So it may or may not work. 

On another note. I do have 3 EP's submitted so far, although Jingle is going to need to swap a song. On that note, I need to apologize to all the participants for not making my banned list thorough enough  . I thought checking my RYM page would be easier than typing out all of them. Oh well, for my next roulette (whenever that will be) there will be a much longer, more thorough, banned list.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
In regards to the EP round. I've been asked by PM about editing the songs with fade outs or crossfades, etc. to make the transitions work better. You are all welcome to do that. One of the EP's I've received so far was edited in to a single mp3 file, so feel free to let your imagination run wild. Just either let me know where the transitions take place (via timestamps) or send the individual songs with you ep so I can figure it out, because I will be rating the songs individually as well as the EP as a whole.

this public service announcement was brought to you by the letter q...

[The Walrus]

The EP round is giving me a rash because Rhapsody is banned and I want to include them so badly.  This is going to be so fun.

EDIT: Transitions! Yes! I am definitely going to work up something cool...

Also note, editing the songs is not a requirement. Just letting y'all know what others have done...

[jingle.boy]

As far as writeups go, I'll let my music do the talking.  I don't need to "sell" it.

The first song blows.

The second song really isn't that great either.

Skip the third song

Is it almost over?

Done, thank God.

Yeah, J Boy, your writeups probably aren't necessary. 

[Evermind]

I don't know what Parama wrote (but I would like to know), but my writeup for my EP don't sell the songs at all. I'm having a lot of fun doing it though, I'm at 2.5k words already.

[Evermind]

Given the quality of TA and the quality of the songs I'm sending, I think my writeup may even be better than the novel!

(btw, I know you like TA a lot, so this is meant as a light-hearted joke)

[Crow]

The writeup I did for Slugdge was just the  emote basically

I had to write a new one for the song I replaced it with tho

[Evermind]

That sounds... not pretentious at all, to be honest.

[Crow]

That was the only one that was short

And tbh puppies is exaggerating, i only said the title of the EP was super pretentious

[The Walrus]

In the spirit of fun I'm going to be cocky as hell and say that if a certain artist isn't banned I have this EP round on lock. It'll be the maraschino cherry on the delicious sundae that is my EP. 

[Evermind]

I mean, I have the same kind of artist in mine, one which even Parama likes. Was really surprised that it was even allowed.

My other songs could score pretty low though.

He's in for a surprise then. Literally everything about my writeup is super pretentious.

[The Walrus]

My artist could beat up your artist!

[Crow]

Glad I inspired a pretentiousness-off with y'all
