ariich's DARK TO LIGHT roulette (v8) - Post-roulette updates (ongoing)

[jingle.boy]

We all in?

I’ve still gotta send. Narrowed it down to a few bands. Will send before midnight 

Cool.

There are three others we're also waiting on BET YOU CAN'T GUESS WHO

Sta-cul-ite

[ariich]

The Unholy Trinity, yes.

[TAC]

Oh brother.

Let's go slackers!!!!!!

[twosuitsluke]

*me when results were posted 24 hours ago, I still haven’t sent and I see TAC in the thread…

[TAC]

[ariich]

Results were posted 48 hours ago, Luke.

TAC's rage is ever growing.

[King Postwhore]

When I see TAC in the thread.

I know, I’ve been feeling him for 24 hours!

Tim doesn't have that kind of stamina.

[King Postwhore]

Hand got stuck I bet. He's a tight wad.

Man, I wish there were 8 rounds.  There are two bands I want to send for round 6, and one is going to have to be left off.    The 20-minute rounds give so many possibilities that don't exist in most other roulettes.    You're running another roulette later this year, right? 

[Crow]

there's an EP round

I love this reaction.

This year, no. It'll likely take me the rest of this year to work my way through checking out artists from this roulette!

But I'm unlikely to deviate from the 20-minute format in future roulettes. It's my favouritest.

EDIT: Oh and you can definitely send me a handful of post-roulette submissions if you like, Crow has often done that. Unless you want to save them, although I get the impression you have like a million things you could send.

[twosuitsluke]

Sent

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Already planned within days of the OP, and neither fits what I'm going for with the EP.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I may wind up doing something like that, I think I've done it in all the other roulettes I've been in so far already.  In Luke's and Tomi's it was easier knowing they might not run another for years, and in TAC's it wasn't something I'd be likely to use elsewhere.  I might send something else I'd put together as a possibility and save the one I'm more torn about for possibly next year.  Or they might get worked into other roulettes/rounds this year, I guess we'll see. 

[ariich]

What Crow and some others have done, at least in part, is send me things either that they consider particularly risky but are interested to get my take on, or that didn't fit with whatever theme they were going for (e.g. lonestar has already recommended me an album by a band that isn't Asian ).

Anyway it's up to you, but I do always give them a proper listen and report back with thoughts and ratings.

[TAC]

I have a playlist of songs on Spotify that I brainstorm for each roulette I play in.


My current ones are..

Litho-91 songs
Ariich-53 songs
Crow-112 songs

I make a separate one for EP ideas, and then a third one as I finalize the EP.
I delete them when the roulettes are over.

[Crow]

that's.

a lot of songs for an 8-song roulette

This doesn't seem crazy to me. I do the same thing

Litho, I'm actually surprised you are surprised  Thought you'd do something along the same lines and then maybe run the songs through some machine learning model for the final selection

[LithoJazzoSphere]

What I'm surprised at is that he deletes them afterwards, all that work gone to waste.   

But I absolutely do my own version of a playlist, with some other stuff that would make wolfking blow a gasket. 

[ariich]

[TAC]

 

Seems legit.

[King Postwhore]

 

[ariich]

I should say that I'm with Tim on this. I have a sort of masterlist of things I might want to send in roulettes - basically any artist I've ever rated 4 stars on RYM - and at the start of each roulette I take this and use it to produce my long list of options by removing anything banned or that I'm confident the host would have little interest in.

No point keeping it after the roulette finishes as by the time that person runs another one, their banned list will have changed and I'll have new things I might want to send.

[TAC]

I usually just go through my Spotify Library and add them to the "Ariich" playlist, or whoever is hosting. But yeah, there's no point keeping it. It's not a lot of work at all.

[Sacul]

Oops, sorry folks, been very busy with personal life and taking vacations, I'm recovering from work burnout and completely forgot to check in here. I'll send in a bit.
