So a little late, but here we are...
My second roulette (fanfare, applause etc)!
It's been like 5 years since I did my first, I think? I've wanted to do another for ages but my life got increasingly busier over that period. I'm kind of at the point where I have a BIT more free time, but still don't expect this to run particularly quickly. The main thing that helped give me a kick up the butt is the roulette drought we are in!
All are welcome in this roulette, but there are a few newcomers to DTF who I would really like to take part.
I'm not putting a cap on the numbers, but I may have to if we hit more than say, 15?
This will be a pretty standard roulette, as I can't really keep up with doing anything too fancy. I'd really prefer Spotify links for submissions, but am happy to except other routes if the song you want is not on Spotify.
We'll have 10 rounds, one song per round. I don't think we'll have eliminations until maybe the 8th round, but I may change my mind if I have a lot of participants. I will have a think about if I want to try any themed rounds, and get back to you all. Let's just say the first two rounds are open, free for alls though.
My banned list is all the artists I have on my ipod, so they are my bands on regular rotation. I have a ton of stuff I have listened to via Spotify though, so there will be many bands not on this list who may be banned, because I've heard enough to know they're not for me, or partially band (certain albums) which I will allow.
The best thing to do is check out my last.fm account as that has pretty much everything I listen to, or have checked out since my last roulette.
