Indiscipline's Roulette v. The Dirty Aftermath

[Crow]

yeah can't wait to see what other thrice song besides daedalus evermind sent

[Aefenwelg]

Daedalus is a better ballad than any sent by the youngsters.

[Crow]

i don't know if i would call daedalus a ballad but sure

[Indiscipline]

If he can run this zoo, he can handle multiple bitches.

Strongly tempted to sig that. Apologies, gents. My job is a multiple bitch sometimes.

Is there no hangman'g in Ohio??

There isn't. You all already know 50% of the submissions and I've dragged this for too long. I know, it's roulette blasphemy, but "Gotta get down to it ..."


Here's the field:

Jingle: the man with a plan, running for governor of Minnesota: Frameshift - 1) La Mer 2) Miseducation

vs

lonestar: Ba-cong guerilla specialist, herald of middle-eastern metal: Voices from the Fuselage - 1) Epicinium 2) Meteorites


TAC: knows my tastes like my brother, has my brother's same tastes: Thoughts Factory - 1) No Way Out 2) The Mire

vs

King: the unrelenting prog pusher, Photoshopper extraordinaire: Karmakanic - 1) Let in Hollywood 2) Wheel of Life



Parama: surprisingly turning paramacore into paramasutra for this roulette: The Dear Hunter - 1) Mustard Gas 2) Son and Father

vs

Evermind: master of melody, knows submissions before they hit my PM box: Thrice - 1) Firebreather 2) Dedalus


Sacul: the branching out specialist, last second killer: Boris - 1) Pink 2) Jackson Head

vs

Puppies: the crescendo aficionado, always from left field: Devin Townsend Band - 1) Deadhead, Devin Townsend Project* - 2) Heart Baby

* Don't whine, please. I've sanctioned it. It's irrelevant in the great scheme of things.

Hey... pisano.  1/2 of us are going to need to know your definition of "loooong epic".

Over 12 inches minutes. "Pisano" is how you call an inhabitant of Pisa.

[Crow]

I'm having an aneurysm 
I was considering like, Child of Dust and then a heavier one like Firebreather or Daedalus or something
I'm gonna guess you did send Daedalus though

heart baby wouldn't have been my pick from Ghost but it's a good one regardless and deadhead ofc is great

also i don't like boris at all so let's see what happens

[Aefenwelg]

Before I left this mortal coil, I was considering Firebreather and Digging My Own Grave

[Crow]

everyone and their mum: "firebreather is the heavy thrice song i'd send to indiscipline"

[lonestar]

Not sure how Epicinium will fare with our host, but Meteorites blows both those Frameshift songs out of the water. Very curious to see how this plays out, and whether I get to send the epic to end all epics.


And Tim, do I get an assist for turning you on to Thoughts Factory?

[TAC]

Oh yeah!

Consider me turned on.

So says you, Fruity Pebbles.

[Crow]

voices from the fuselage bore the hell out of me personally, but  i know i got sent meteorites in like, my first roulette and i don't remember a single thing about it
i also don't remember those Thoughts Factory songs at all even tho I was sent that album in my roulette
can't comment on the rest

Bam, Bam!

[TAC]

I honestly would've felt bad if I had to use it against you, but not as bad as I feel for reserving The Seventh House.

[lonestar]

IQ is banned, already barked up that tree

[TAC]

La Mer is pretty awesome. 

[King Postwhore]

Thrice vs. The Dear Hunter is an epic battle.

[TAC]

Thrice vs. The Dear Hunter is an epic battle.

Yeah, kind of like the Cleveland Browns and the New York Jets. They both can't lose.
Hardly epic.


That winner is easy.

[King Postwhore]

Since you're old I'll let you in on a secret.  Youngsters like bands you don't. 

[TAC]

I'll let you in on a secret. I have done very well in the youngster's roulettes.

I is hip.

[King Postwhore]

Let me rephrase.   Youngsters are more diverse that your old ass.

[Crow]

TAC did pretty well at guessing what kind of stuff i don't hate in my last roulette, to be fair

but also Thrice and TDH are both great  like i said i was considering literally the same two songs Ev sent (though I wouldn't have sent both of them, since Child of Dust is fantastic and a lot better for the theme here )

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

heart baby wouldn't have been my pick from Ghost but it's a good one regardless and deadhead ofc is great

I went back and forth on a few songs from Ghost. I also considered something from Ki, like Trainfire. I also thought about sending something from Casualties of Cool, but that might have been pushing the same artist rule a little too far.

[Crow]

i'd definitely have sent blackberry from ghost, tbh
but if i could pick from casualties of cool, moon for sure

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Blackberry and Feather were the other 2 I was considering. I just felt like Feather was a little too long for this round.

Casualties of Cool has so many great songs, it would be hard to pick. That's pretty close to a perfect album for me actually.

[Crow]

casualties is devin's best, yep

Child of Dust is good, but I really wanted to send Daedalus. I would've probably gone with Come All You Weary instead of Child of Dust though.

I can't stand Let in Hollywood. Always skip it. Curious to see how that goes.

[Crow]

daedalus is really good, so

hope you beat me because i don't have crap for the epic round

[jingle.boy]

Not sure how Epicinium will fare with our host, but Meteorites blows both those Frameshift songs out of the water.

La Mer is pretty awesome.

I think so too... and the piano line is something that I hope clicks with Big Al.

I think you're probably safe with La Mer, jingle, but... Miseducation is not only bad English, it's a pretty risky tune.

[TAC]

Yeah, that matchup really comes down to Meteorites vs La Mer. I think the other two tracks are throwaways. But who knows. Indiscipline may like the electronica.

Gonna be tough for Indiscipline to pick against Big James there. But Meteorites is really strong and diverse.

That's a tough call.

[Podaar]

Very tough call.

Meteorites is fantastic, but I really have no idea what Alle will think of the "boy band" type vocals. To me they sound sincere (probably because I'm a big fan of TYS), but he may find them a bit contrived. He's scored "poser" vocals pretty low.

It shall be interesting.

[jingle.boy]

And Tim, do I get an assist for turning you on to Thoughts Factory?

... says the player that already mowed another man's lawn in this roulette.

This guy...

[Indiscipline]

Good day bedlam. A whole week-end on the bus = scarce hosting, but boy did I go through your songs!

First off, I am glad to inform you I have been sent 3 acts whose discographies I'm definitely going to suck dry. Fantastic stuff.


Matchup impressions:

One match is very hard to judge, both excellent contenders.

One match is mildly hard to judge, both meh contenders.

One match is very easy to judge, pretty lopsided.

One match is mildly easy to judge, the less ugly wins.


And now, a bit of bus impressions, the "sorry, couldn't help it" edition. Always in jest, of course.

"So come on, jump in the fire ..."
"Shed your light on me ..."

"Good morning, the Worm, your honour ..."
"I was dreaming of the past ..."

"SO YOU THINK YOU CAN TELL ..."
"So the world goes round and round ..."

"I met this girl on monday, took her for a drink on tuesday ..."
"Hey look at me lady, I'm just your little baby ..."

"It's not like you killed someone ..."
Sorry, got nothing here.

"Lights go down, it's dark, the jungle is in your head ..."
"I may make you feel but I can't make you think ..."

"My tendency for dependency is offending me ..."
"How does it feel to treat me like you do?"

"Blue jean baby, LA lady, seamstress for the band ..."
"Into the fire from the frying pan ..."

[jingle.boy]

I can live with being less ugly than cheffy-poo.  Though in reality, we are both most excellent.
