Seneca v3 results

[The Walrus]

Shoulda kept me in. I could've sent immediately. 

Looking forward to see who comes out on top.

[jingle.boy]

Sorry but I don't understand the part of the transition tracks. What does that mean? Can you provide examples?

NOMAC tracks from the Astonishing.  Tracks that are short segues/setups/preludes to an "actual" song is how I interpret that.  Those would NOT count as 1 of the 3 artists.

For (grammatical) clarity Seneca... does that mean the time/length of such segue tracks would allow the EP to exceed the 40 minute mark?  Or is 40 minutes a hard stop?

[Nekov]

That makes sense. In that case, is there a specific time frame we should consider? Like, below the 1:30 mark it is considered a transition track?

[romdrums]

Again, sorry Romdrums. You sent me some fantastic songs along the way, and definitely some full albums worth checking out.

And I was looking forward to beating jingle in the next round, too.   

Thanks for having me.  This was a fun roulette!  Best of luck to the remaining players.

[jingle.boy]

Everyone wants a piece of jingle.

EPs must fit within a time frame of 30-40 minutes. Period.

And Nekov, any track fewer than 90 seconds sounds about right. But lets just use common sense. I think we can all generally agree when a track stands on its own. If 35 minutes of your EP are comprised of two artists, and theres a minute long interlude track by a third artist in the middle, youve done something wrong.

And of course, 3 "real" songs is also just a mininum.

[Crow]

would've loved making an EP but since i'm cut now i'm too lazy to do it, shrug 

i hope you enjoy your nightmare 8-EP round seneca

[senecadawg2]

Id still love to hear an ep from you, if its not too much trouble 

[Crow]

alright, i'll make one, but i'm basing it off the fact that you only rated one of my songs highly all roulette

update: i have aggregated a list of songs terrifyingly codenamed "seneca's nightmare". will try to have an EP tonight, but it'll suck and you'll hate it

[Sacul]

Hell yeah, am gonna send you an EP with more stuff in that vein then

[Crow]

sent my EP because seneca asked me nicely to make one & i'm a sucker for making EPs
i dunno if you'd even like this but it's very feels-y so maybe
the theme kinda demands feels-y though
put me in hangman or i'll cry like a dead friend's friend in a song by kevin gilbert
i still haven't actually listened to the song in question for what it's worth

[Nekov]

Sent

[Evermind]

Working on my EP, had a solid draft but turns out one band I used was recently sent and banned. Probably won't send until tomorrow evening.

Edit: the tracklist is settled, now it's time to brainstorm the title and embellish the pretentious as hell story I've got for this one. Glad I have a chance to do this again, this time to Nelson.

[Crow]

from my PM to seneca with my EP concept

i didn't feel like doing a twenty year-long writeup like evermind does so this is what you get lol

[Nekov]

 

[jingle.boy]

Sent... with the following excerpt:

I don’t have the inclination to write a ‘pretentious’ storyline about this (ala Ruslan), but picture <one sentence explanation>

You're goin down faster than a Hobo on a Big Mac, Diego.

[Sacul]

Sent, turned out pretty nice and I hope you like it

[Tomislav95]

Sorry if I'm only one who didn't submit yet, I was not home this weekend. Will try to put something together by the end of the day.

[Evermind]

Nope, I still didn't send but I will in about six hours. Glad you all are referencing me in your PMs though.

[ariich]

I've also not sent yet but as promised I should hopefully be sending this evening.

[Evermind]

Sent! Very happy with my EP.

[LordCost]

Sent too. I like all the songs in my EP a lot, I hope Seneca likes at least some of them.

[Evermind]

I actually need to look up who sent No-Man before and you're my mortal enemy now because I had Truenorth in my first draft for the EP and it was banned, let's see 

Edit: alright then, I looked it up and I'm rooting for you Chad.

[jingle.boy]

Sent by Diego then, I guess?

[Evermind]

Indeed! Although since it only got 6.5, he might've saved my ass. But I'm still rooting for you.

[Crow]

6.5 is a really good score in this roulette as far as i'm concerned

[ariich]

Sent! Can't decide if it's risky or not, but I'm really happy with it so what will be will be.

[Nekov]

You're goin down faster than a Hobo on a Big Mac, Diego.

One thing is for sure, our EPs will be very different. Still, you haven't got a chance.

I actually need to look up who sent No-Man before and you're my mortal enemy now because I had Truenorth in my first draft for the EP and it was banned, let's see 

Edit: alright then, I looked it up and I'm rooting for you Chad.

You're only rooting for him because you know he is an easier matchup than I am in case you get through this round. Don't try to play nice to him

[Tomislav95]

And sent! I'm really proud of it, Nelson should like it and it's full of stuff from albums he should like as well, no fillers IMO.

[senecadawg2]

I have all the EP's now and have begun listening to them. For obvious reasons, I expect this round to take longer. Hopefully I can have the results posted by the beginning of next week.

EP Titles:

Standing On An Avalanche
Loss of a Loved One
Songs About John Lennon
Hearts and Bits
Ballads For a Friend
Blood and Brainwaves
Digging My Own Grave
Modren Prog in Pastel Colors
Pricking the Indie Vein

I'll do a somewhat random sampling of songs from all the EPs and turn it into a hangman, but not until I've had a chance to listen to them all. Also, I'll be posting at least one batch of first impressions within the next couple days.

[Evermind]

I'm glad that only one person used the "...for a [Dead] Friend" template, hopefully he'll be eliminated.

Let's say Digging My Own Grave is Parama and Pricking the Indie Vein is Tomislav.

[senecadawg2]

I had to make up a couple titles myself, I won't say which ones.

[Evermind]

The one you just edited in, perhaps?

[Stadler]

I'm glad that only one person used the "...for a [Dead] Friend" template, hopefully he'll be eliminated.

HA!

[Evermind]

By the way if anyone wants to ruin the hangman for yourself, I can share my EP in exchange for you sharing yours. Either PM me your EP and I'll send you mine, or we can do a plug.dj one day and play our songs.
