Stadler's Roulette, 2.0: Singles A's and B's: We have a Champeen!

[wolfking]

Kade 

Just the way I wanted to go out in this roulette! 

[jingle.boy]

Plus kudos for having a song named after you.     

You would've had my full name but Ozzy is banned.

Your middle name is Anthrax?

[TAC]

No, but it does start with an A

[The Walrus]

I was certain the 80s Van Halen-meets-metal vibe of my songs would have appealed to you more, but it wouldn't have made a difference since I would've been out anyway. Fucking hell.  Fun roulette, thanks for letting me play, Stads!

[Stadler]

Today must be Friday in Canada...


So, my favorite line - or at least top two or three - in any song ever is "I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be the sun* in someone else's sky... why? why? why can't it be mine?" by Pearl Jam, in "Black".

Another good one is "Though you hardly can recall her face or form, her memory lingers on..." by Tony Banks, in "Evidence of Autumn".

Give me your two songs with your top two lines.   I'm taking you at your word ("I got pictures of naked ladies lying on their beds, I whiff that smell and sweet convulsion!" isn't going to fly in this round, Kade!) here, and for once I'll give some clarity:   If your favorite line is "The love you take is equal to the love you make" and you send in The End, you'll either get it rejected (Beatles!) or you'll get your score for the song, your two points for the theme, and zero for the creativity.  The creativity on this one is HOW YOU GET THE LINE IN. 

Single elimination here, ladies and gentlemen, so some strategy at play here.  After this round, four go to the bleachers and four continue to run for the glory!

[The Walrus]

One of mine is in my sig. Listen to it anyway. Bastard.

it's kind of a fine line there, boss.  Some of it rules, and I can't tell you I know every song of that genre from that time, but that's when I grew up, so you're competing with the masters.  It's like why go to a knock-off when you can have the original? 

I'm glad you played.  I appreciate you taking the time to participate (especially with all "life" you got going on!)

[Stadler]

If those that are out still want to submit something cool, I'm game, though please one song only and bear in mind I'm focusing on the results first so I'm not going to stretch this out longer than it already has.

[The Walrus]

I look forward to Stadleroulette 3.0 so I can inundate you with more bad music

[Lethean]

Stadler did you misquote the Black lyrics on purpose?

[TAC]

Give me your two songs with your top two lines. 

Interesting...

[jingle.boy]

Give me your two songs with your top two lines. 

Interesting...

Yeah... given the most influential music in my life is from the 70s and 80s, most of my "top" lyrical lines will be from banned artists.  Could take a couple days to ponder what is appropriate, and not banned.

Thank you for putting that into words for me. Yeah exactly. My favorite lines are by my favorite artists. Which are banned.

[Indiscipline]

I'm so happy you liked the songs. Please, dig in on Jason Robert Brown, the greatest American composer nobody knows.

Now, my favourite lines are definitely banned, by both law and roulette.

What the actual fuck? I was second las round and now I'm out? Can I ask for a re-count of the votes or something?
I knew the guy was somewhat of a hit or miss but I truly thought I was safe. I honestly did a lot better than I thought I would when this started so all in all it was good. I hope the top 8 all die in a fire after they crash at full speed 

[Crow]

i think stads totally botched the math, from the numbers he has up there your score should be 82

Holy shit that escalated quickly 

[TAC]

One of my favorite lines of all time comes from Van Halen's In A Simple Rhyme:
"Ain't life grand when you finally hit it"

[Crow]

i fixed the math
by which i mean i just threw all the same numbers in excel and used the autosum to calculate scores
but i mean if these aren't the right score numbers either then who knows

[The Walrus]

I cast Cannibalize on Scorp's Corpse and reviv- oh, wrong roulette

[TAC]

OK, let's look at this..

EDIT: Stadler, you add like Kingshmegland spells. 

ReEDIT: Sorry, Lowdz.

[Crow]

to be fair the top 4 and bottom 7 were all perfect. it's just that the scores were all jumbled up in the middle, specifically the place where it matters the most

To be fair, of course.

[jingle.boy]

I smell shenanigans. I mean, Lowder's avatar is Gene after all.

[TAC]

Am I the only one that when they see:

v-clortho

The first thing I think of is ...clinched playoff birth. 

[Stadler]

I'll be happy to recheck them (it will be tomorrow morning).  Haste makes paste as they say and I DID have a problem with a couple formulas getting jumbled when I did the sort (the two lines for every entry was a f*****g nightmare; won't do that again).

Or, I cheated to get a Kiss fan in. 

Oh, and this is the theme for the NEXT round. (Kidding).

If anything, it's an honest mistake.  I don't have the file in front of me, and I spent most of my time making sure that I transcribed the numbers into the writeups.   I checked a couple for shits and giggles, but apparently that wasn't enough.

Not a minor point:  no artist is "BANNED" per se.  Some are harder to get through that's all.   If you can find a Kiss song I've not heard I'm open to that.

Especially now that Nekov himself is in Top 8.

Don't have to worry about what I'm sending mate.   

[Elite]

Hey, I realised I didn't have a chance in hell to get through, but I'm very glad you enjoyed my band's song. It's always nice to turn people onto your music, even though I don't really brag about that stuff here. Like last time, the results show that our tastes don't align as much as with some other participants and that's completely fine. I didn't play to win, but I do hope I sent you some stuff you liked and that you can check out in the future. Thanks for hosting and thanks for having me be a part of it!


Oh, and for the next round (EDIT: See PM, I might steals someone's thunder if I post what I would have sent here..)

[Stadler]

Okay, so there is good news and bad news.    Which do you want first?

I checked and rechecked the numbers and the math.   So Scorpion is in, Jingle is out, and Sacul is in first place now.  That sounds right, right?

Seriously, good news is, I rechecked the math.  There was a mistkae (see what I did there?), but unfortunately for Nekov, it was NOT in the "TOTAL" column, it was in the "Round 5" column.  If you go to the write-up, which is correct, you'll see he earned a 14.5, whereas it (wrongly) has "17.0" in the spreadsheet.  I can only guess that when I put the colors on the cells, somehow a couple cell values got replaced by mistake.  All is corrected and  here is the revised standings (I do not believe anything has changed in terms of finalists).  Go Patriots (see what I did there?)! 



The bad news, of course, is that some are still cursed with the fate of a fiery crash.

[The Walrus]

Uh, I still see an error. You have me in the loser's lane.

[home]

Thanks for hosting! I liked thinking about the themes even though I didn't really had time to really think about them ;p

Hope you will check out some artist I sent!


(Btw the song is named: Am I Wry? No)
