FlyingBIZKIT's Roulette V3. REFER TO ROULETTE TRACKER THREAD

[FlyingBIZKIT]

Hey everyone, it's been a while since my first two roulettes here, at least three years. Quite a bit has changed since then in my life, but I still have a love for discovering new music. I'll get into my tastes shortly. This is going to be a straightforward roulette, and I will be capping the amount of participants at thirteen. I've been pretty busy with graduate school so I don't want to get too complex with themes, perks, whatever the kids are doing these days.

Banned Artists:

Tastes

My tastes are all over the place. I'm receptive of many genres. If I had to do a top 5 bands right now (in no order), I'd say:

Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson
Between the Buried and Me
The Dear Hunter
Leprous
Pink Floyd

Things you may want to be careful sending are songs in the realm of prog metal. I typically love progressive music, but there's a lot of it that I find incredibly cheesy and boring. It's a genre that's hit or miss for me. For example, I have never been able to get into Pain of Salvation and I'm not sure I ever will.. Concerning harsh vocals, I love bands like BTBAM, Opeth, and Gojira, but I wouldn't typically consider myself a "metalhead". I appreciate instrumental music, contemporary classical, electronic, folk, indie, you name it!

Albums I've been digging lately:

The Assassination of Julius Caesar - Ulver
Red - King Crimson
Pretty Hate Machine - Nine Inch Nails
Signals - Rush
Duke - Genesis
Memoryhouse - Max Richter
Dissolution - The Pineapple Thief

Rules

Very simple. There will be 12 rounds, 13 participants; elimination style. After 3 rounds, the bottom three in scoring will be eliminated. Starting in the 4th round, one participant will be eliminated each round. By the 12th round, there should be two participants left. This round will be an EP round, with rules TBD. Scoring will be done on a 1-10 scale. When elimination begins (after the 3rd round of scoring), in case of a tie-breaker, I will have those specific participants submit another entry and I will choose my favorite. To visualize, here is how it will look.

Round 1 - 13 Participants
Round 2 - 13 Participants
Round 3 - 13 Participants, Bottom 3 Eliminated after round finishes.
Round 4 - 10 Participants
Round 5 - 10 Participants, Bottom 2 Eliminated after round finishes.
Round 6 - 8 Participants
Round 7 - 8 Participants, Bottom 2 Eliminate after round finishes.
Round 8 - 6 Participants
Round 9 - 6 Participants, Bottom 2 Eliminated after round finishes.
Round 10 - 4 Participants
Round 11 - 4 Participants, Bottom 1 Eliminated after round finishes.
Round 12 - 3 Participants partake in EP round. EP rules to be determined at beginning of round.

Submissions

Please, if possible, send me songs available on Spotify. I listen to a lot of music while driving so youtube links are not preferred. If you really want to send me something not accessible on Spotify, please let me know and we will discuss.

Also, please submit your next round submissions within 24 hours of posting results. In the case that more than one person submits the same song, I will ask that second person to resubmit something new, and to be fuckin' original.

Seneca has already joined, 11 spots remain. First come first serve! As soon as you join, feel free to send me a song. I will begin listening as soon as all 12 participants join and submit songs.

[Crow]

Yeah it is, but I'm planning to go at an expedited pace. It'll go quicker and quicker with less participants each round!

[The Walrus]

I was gonna take a roulette break but making it to Buddy's final round has restored confidence in myself. Let's do it. I will send something today, probably this evening.

Welcome!

[senecadawg2]

Albums I've been digging lately:

Memoryhouse - Max Richter

Hell yeah 

[Tomislav95]

So much in!

[Evermind]

I wanted to take a little break from roulettes but it looks like I haven't ever played in your roulettes before! Therefore I think I'm in for this one.

I own 0 albums from "I've been digging lately" list, this is gonna be good.

[Lethean]

The banned list isn't overwhelming, so I'm in. 

[FlyingBIZKIT]

The banned list isn't overwhelming, so I'm in. 

Awesome! That was my goal. Some of these banned lists are outrageous to me

[Stadler]

In, if you'll have me.

[FlyingBIZKIT]

4 spots remain! Filling quick.

[TAC]

Are they all open rounds to begin?

[FlyingBIZKIT]

You mean regarding themes? Yes! All rounds are open.

[Crow]

Gonna send deathcore in every round

[TAC]

Ok. I’ll join. I’ve been sucking lately so I figure this won’t be much different. 

[TAC]

Ariich isn’t playing is he? Gee I hate that guy. 

[FlyingBIZKIT]

Ariich isn’t playing is he? Gee I hate that guy. 

Not yet..

Glad to have you! I bet you’ll do just fine

[Crow]

PMed ariich telling him to enter this roulette or I don't rig my next one for him

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

I'm in, if you'll have me 

[FlyingBIZKIT]

I will have you in many ways

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

I will have you in many ways

[FlyingBIZKIT]

2 spots left! Come quick !

[senecadawg2]

I will have you in many ways

2 spots left! Come quick !

[FlyingBIZKIT]

3 spots if you want it to be

[Train of Naught]

Hey dude fuck it I’m in gimme that spot!

[Crow]

train's back hell yeah!!

[Kwyjibo]

I'm in if you'll have me.

[Elite]

Can I still join?

[FlyingBIZKIT]

Sure, I'll add all of you. I'm just going to change all the rules, now that you messed everything up, Elite. The only thing that changes now is the bottom three will be eliminated after the 3rd round, instead of two.

Okay, everyone's in. Send me your songs! So far, I have 3 submissions. 10 remaining. If possible, try to send within 24 hours!

Also, likely not doing the hangman thing. Will definitely do first impressions though.

[Kwyjibo]

sent, and thanks for having me at least for three rounds 

[FlyingBIZKIT]

Of course!

And just a note for all participants. Yes, there's quite a bit of rounds, but to be honest, I will plan to spend a week at most on a round. This will not take twelve weeks. As the roulette progresses, especially starting in round 4, it will become a quicker process. So, if results come surprisingly quick, just know that I am still taking time and devoting attention to each and every submission.

[The Walrus]

Sent.

[Evermind]

Wanted to send David Gilmour, just found out Sacul sent Where We Start in the second roulette and got 10/10 with it. Screw you, man.

edit: Reading through the thread, Sacul has also already used iamthemorning before. What the hell.
