ariich’s fogey roulette (v7) – FINAL RESULTS

[Kwyjibo]

Ahw, now you spoiled that I sent Duke Ellington

That's not really surprising, since you are the only one to send something jazz-related for every round. 

[ariich]

New page with one new correct guess, other guesses were not right!

Round 5 first impressions



Super cool and rather nice.
A bit disappointingly normal.
This energy is kind of infectious.
First half was ok, second half was a lot better.
Not a style I normally go for, but this sounded cool.
Pretty much what I expected, and that’s generally alright. [Sacul – Godspeed You Black Emperor!]
Pretty much what I expected, and that’s no problem at all.
Pretty much what I expected, and that’s a bit disappointing.
This all sounded nice but I’m not sure it all sounded exciting.
Some of this was good, the rest was great, all of it was familiar. [Elite – Duke Ellington]
This might be the best thing you’ve ever sent me - unexpectedly excellent.
Very pretty, although I liked it more when the production had a bit of punch.
Liking the rocking vibe and performances, not yet sure about the melodic hooks.
Reminds me a little of a later band I like, if perhaps not quite as emotionally rewarding.
Sounded nice but wasn’t at all what I expected, so I’ll need to listen again having recalibrated.
You’re showing me up by sending me loads of stuff I like and should really have known already. [Cyril – New Radicals]

[Kwyjibo]

Trying to narrow it down.

[wolfking]

Ah okay, thinking what you expected but that's disappointing?

Tesla = one of these?

[Stadler]

Mine could be this one:
A bit disappointingly normal.

Or this one:
First half was ok, second half was a lot better.

[HOF]

I think we need second impressions.

Ha!

[Evermind]

Super cool and rather nice.
This all sounded nice but I’m not sure it all sounded exciting.

One of these three probably, especially the third one.

[ariich]

Either I've been too cryptic or you guys just suck.

Oooh, tough call, but... I think we suck.

[HOF]

Either I've been too cryptic or you guys just suck.

Can’t rule out both!

[jingle.boy]

Could Tesla be the best thing I've ever sent you? Possibly.  It's certainly better than White Lion!

[lonestar]

I'll take that one.

[HOF]

Well, I’ve got it down to four possibilities, but I’ll try these first and if I’m wrong I’ll know it’s the fourth one!

Mine is either  or the second half is better than the first half.

One of these?

[Evermind]

I got mine from the first try, I think it's the latter

[wolfking]

I give up. 

[ariich]

You lot are useless.

I'm going to use a random number generator to reveal half now, the rest either later tonight or in the morning.

Hey, I got it!

Yeah I didn't mean to suggest that there were no right guesses. It was just starting to feel like trying to teach my 3-year-old calculus.

[jingle.boy]

You lot are useless.

I'm going to use a random number generator to reveal half now, the rest either later tonight or in the morning.

Yes, we are.  And I'd thought about guessing the  , but I figured there were other submissions more "metal".

You'd be just as frustrated trying to teach any of US calculus.

[ariich]

Yeah the wasn't for anything heavy, just my reaction was to be headbanging along.

[TAC]

Am I Very Pretty?

Am I Very Pretty?

If you have to ask, the answer is no.

So did my narrowing down not work?  I was able to get down to two.

It was neither.

I'll reveal the rest before I go to bed, and then comparisons tomorrow evening and as usual results on Friday.
