finally getting started on this/doing first listens. don't think i'm gonna put hangman up just yet but i do have a special surprise that i should have ready by the end of the day  :hat

wanna say this now, loudly as so nobody misses it:

For Round 6, PLEASE do not prioritize weirdness over, like, actual song quality.

I'd rather have a really good but only mildly weird song over something completely bonkers and also unlistenable  :lol I feel like I didn't stress this point enough for the loud round - that I want GOOD SONGS first and stuff that matches the theme second, 'cause I'm not grading anything on how well it matches the theme, because that's dumb and arbitrary and not how I like running roulettes.

ON THAT NOTE

if i do ever run a roulette again, there is a dumb and arbitrary bonus point system that i'm gonna absolutely force myself to adopt for the sake of my own sanity:
straight up +1 point to any song i find particularly interesting.
what i find interesting is fickle and inconsistent meaning this is pretty much impossible to game, but inherently encourages risk-taking rather than sending safe, obvious, and, gotta be honest, boring submissions  :lol

if I had implemented it for this roulette, hmm... i'm gonna say these songs/artists would've all gotten that point:
Round 1: Ram-Zet, Fleet Foxes, Chapel of Disease, Bend Sinister
Round 2: The Microphones, This Day & Age, Janelle Monae
Round 3: L'Impératrice, Let's Eat Grandma, KANGA, LCD Soundsystem
Round 4: Better Lovers, Lingua Ignota

...my only real hesitance is that these are already mostly songs that did pretty well here, so i'd kinda just be doubling up on stuff that already scored well
...but then that's the thing! i want more stuff that scores well simply for being interesting!
i dunno, maybe i'm just tired of the rotating cycle of gruff, masculine metal genres i've never liked, boringly competent black metal, and inoffensive hardcore acts you could play on rock radio  :lol i'm never, ever going to like the former and have more than enough of the latter two to last a lifetime at this point

anyways musings aside i'm gonna go back to listening now  :corn

Cool. How about updating Hangman?
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

I guess I'm even more clueless than before about what you're looking for in the next round then.  Tastes are so subjective that you could probably argue everything I've already sent is "weird" to someone's preferences, and one person's "interesting" is another person's "weird".  I might just send something different than I originally planned that I think is decidedly less "weird", but possibly less risky, and it's something I had on the shortlist for one of the open rounds anyway, and see if it's quirky enough for you.

I sent a weird song but it's a pretty decent thing.

What's the point of having a theme if it doesn't matter?

Round 5 First Impressions!

Litho: Despite going out of its way to sabotage itself at every possible turn, this song's style is far enough up my alley that I'm way into it anyways.

Faizoff: Really pleasant sound and some cool moments but it kinda feels like, a demo that needed just one or two more things to really push it over the edge, make it feel complete, y'know?

3. Part of this sounded like a late night talk show with special guest performers Boris and I wish more of the song sounded like that part.

Puppies: Sufficiently competent, will probably get a solid score, but… god, I really gotta do something about this kind of boringly safe submission. It's exhausting :lol

Ariich: I have no goddamn clue what this is or what it's trying to do, all I know is that I kinda love it?

6. Really appealing sound to this, cool buildup, and… wait, that's it? Where's the rest of the song?

Lonestar: "Alright, so, we booked the wrong band to play at our anime convention, but we're just gonna roll with it and see what happens." What happened: A pretty solid song!

King: This is a nice song. A nice song that I don't really have any thoughts on but a nice song nonetheless.

9. I remember quite liking these guys the last time they were sent in one of my roulettes but this is… quite a bit different than what I remember from them. Not in a bad way, mind you.

10. Sounds like the emotional climax to a musical that doesn't exist, which would be fine and dandy if I cared more for musicals :lol

HOF: Very pleasant and lush sounds here, but it's also the kind of slow-burn I know I'm gonna need to really sit with to properly digest.

TAC: Really cool guitar work on top of a pretty solid everything else makes for an enjoyable if not particularly outstanding tune.

13. Always interesting to see which of the legacy acts have aged more gracefully than others.

14. Even if I was really into the music - which I'm not particularly - god, those vocals are a hard sell for me.

Buddy: Everything I've heard from this album has had a wonky, stilted sound I've never cared for and I'm not sure this is going to fare much better.

16. Ahh, and the intentional cheating begins in earnest. This basically is just a <redacted> song, isn't it.

we'll do hangman after first impressions, but only once first impressions are properly done and dusted  :corn

also, can't forget to post the playlist if the playlist isn't really to be posted yet  :hat
