The Walrus's Lead-Free Roulette -- now exploring every roulette submission ever

[Crow]

yeah yeah yeah TAC TAC TAC

[jingle.boy]

I hauled about two yards of crushed stone. Probably 30-40 wheel barrels worth. That was after 15 or so yesterday, after opening and cleaning my pool.  And got about 4 hrs of God of War in last night / this morning.

Pretty good weekend overall. Bedtime now

[Sacul]

damn makes me feel bad for sitting down in front of my laptop all day lol

but tbf i've been relearning piano lately, started with moonlight sonata, and i'm also into photography so sometimes i spend a long while in the backyard doing macro shit lol

Omigosh the Moonlight is amazing and the second movement never gets old. I play that like every time I sit down at the piano 'cause it's quick and easy. Third movement is what I need to stop being lazy with and finish learning. Girls go fucking gaga for that in my experience 

First movement is not terribly complicated but since I haven't played in years it's certainly straining my hands a little . Never really cared for the second part tbh, but the third one is fucking awesome.

i was supposed to work on a video script this weekend but i just ended up playing ratchet & clank 2 all weekend

it's a good game,

[Train of Naught]

I was supposed to lock myself up in my room and practice guitar all weekend and I'm doing just that (bless bank holidays on a Monday)

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

I wasn't supposed to do anything this weekend, and that's exactly what I managed to do.

[jingle.boy]

I wasn't supposed to do anything this weekend, and that's exactly what I managed to do.

Well then, you accomplished what you set out to do!   

I wish I could have a weekend like that.

[The Walrus]

Holy schnikes!

I just finished up cutting a TON of grass, and while I was washing up, I sneezed (for like the 30th time this morning) and my left earbud fell into the god damn water for a couple seconds. Instantly turned off. Started letting loose every profanity in the book (I was in the middle of listening to roulette songs!). Couldn't get it to turn back on. Carefully dried it with an air gun and put it in the charging case for a few minutes. It lit up and it's still working! Unfortunately I blew out the tiny little mesh cover thing inside the earbud 

But just in case, I bit the bullet and bought another pair to have them delivered tomorrow. Hooray! I just hope they don't crap the bed in a few minutes. They were advertised as waterproof of course

This is exactly why bluetooth earbuds that aren't on a wire are a really dumb idea.

[The Walrus]

This is exactly why bluetooth earbuds that aren't on a wire are a really dumb idea.

EDIT: I was gonna say it would've hit the water whether it was on a wire or not, but I guess if it was on the back of my neck, yeah. That's definitely my #1 (only, actually) complaint about bluetooth earbuds.

Whew. Ya'll ready for some first impressions?

I mean, I have bluetooth earbuds but I was adamant they would be on a wire that goes round the back of my neck, because of exactly what happened to you today.

Whew. Ya'll ready for some first impressions?

I realise this is the least appropriate roulette to use that emoji in.

Rich.  LOL

How 'bout

For Tim, it's

Speaking of impressions, where TF is Crankshaft? Sleeping on the job? Not ready to post all 19 of his 0/10s? Not sure if I have much else to really contribute until I have results though, honestly. I still need to make another few passes at all these songs which I can get done throughout the day and evening when I do cardio, but they likely won't be until Friday, so everyone's got the whole weekend to send.

Feel free to guess, and I'll tell you if you're right. All of these are my literal first thoughts after finishing them, so some could have even changed already, or will change again by results...

1. Like a nice dose of musical candy
2. I expected to hate this, but was impressed
3. Borderline cheating, I hear one of these songs at work every week
4. Like slowly dipping myself into a cold bath after a long hot day
5. Warm and pretty, but I'm not entirely sold just yet [Cyril]
6. Exactly what I was hoping to get in this roulette
7. No doubt about it, this is certainly interesting
8. You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention
9. Perfectly embraces the spirit of this roulette [ariich]
10. Holy shit
11. That was super relaxing
12. This is totally music that fits where I live
13. This voice reminds me of a band I can't stand
14. There's a very nice twist here but otherwise I'm not sold yet
15. Adventurous yet somehow tamer than I expected [Train of Naught]
16. Tommy Boy: "That. Was. Awesome!"
17. You bastard
18. Surprised I have never heard of this guy or been sent his music tbh
19. Vocals: eh, everything else: yes

Rich, I am shamelessly aping your whole roulette for this. Be flattered. 

[TAC]

I'll be posting my impressions too.

[Train of Naught]

15. Adventurous yet somehow tamer than I expected

The music is way smoother/tamer than the band name suggests on my entry, so I guess this could be Federation of the Disco Pimp

BAM! Nailed it.

[Buddyhunter1]

Mine could be a bunch of those but I'm guessing it's one of the more positive ones

[Evermind]

Eh, no idea. 11?

[The Walrus]

Nope!

[Train of Naught]

Man you're gonna get post-roulette stuff again, I have way too much stuff I'm way too excited to send, a lot of stuff I'm usually too afraid to send in 'regular' roulettes

[The Walrus]

That's good! Looking forward to it. I'm even going to post a list of artists from each round I plan to check out voluntarily post-roulette. Doesn't mean I won't check out others if they're not listed, but the ones I'm most excited about listening to will get a mention and I'd like to check out one album from each on the list.

[Kingly Gizz & Liz Wiz Bizzy]

3?

13. This voice reminds me of a band I can't stand

19. Vocals: eh, everything else: yes

These are probably the two Kip Winger entries. I once showed a music professor some of Kip’s music in college, and he listened for about a minute before turning it off and saying “the vocals sound like Bon Jovi!” 

[Stadler]

What it LIKELY could be:
1. Like a nice dose of musical candy
5. Warm and pretty, but I'm not entirely sold just yet
6. Exactly what I was hoping to get in this roulette
7. No doubt about it, this is certainly interesting

19. Vocals: eh, everything else: yes

What I actually think it is:
6, 9, 19

TAC's impression:
WTF, hayseed.

Nope. But you are somewhere between 9 and 19.

[Crow]

5 sounds like the best bet for me :V
these impressions are a lot more vague than ariich's so i could see it being any of them but also none of them
if i had to halve, i'd say...
[4,5,6,7,8,11,12,19] i guess?

[Podaar]

7. No doubt about it, this is certainly interesting


Maybe?

[Kingly Gizz & Liz Wiz Bizzy]

3?

No?

[The Walrus]

Cyril yes, Podaar no 

[The Walrus]

3?

No?

Definitely no. I work in a body shop

[ariich]

In fairness I was pretty vague a lot in my last couple of roulettes so I'm intentionally trying to be a bit less so this time.
