[LithoJazzoSphere]

Is the first band Wheel?

Of course it is! How’d I miss that 

Ooh, that's a band worth the wait.  Different songs than I'd have picked, but I'm definitely curious to see how they go. 

[Luoto]

Cultures?

Vultures

[ariich]

You've got close enough now, good efforts especially from TAC and Crow.

I've solved the rest of the artists and songs, so you just need to match them up to senders!

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Stabbing Westward, Reaper?

Volbeat, Vmad?

[Elite]

Is the first band Wheel?

Ooh, that's a band worth the wait.  Different songs than I'd have picked, but I'm definitely curious to see how they go. 

I went with some of the more 'popular' ones I guess, based on Spotify counts. What would you have picked, considering you can only send 20 minutes? I was hesitant throwing in one of their longer tracks, because it takes up half or more of the time.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Without putting much thought into it, I might have gone with "Ascend", "Fugue", and "Wheel".  That fits and shows a variety of moods from them.  They have so many good songs there's really no bad choices though. 

[ariich]

Volbeat was indeed Victor but still nobody has guessed Stabbing Westward right.

Anymore guesses or are you lot giving up?

[lonestar]

I'M WORKING STOP PRESSURING ME!!!!


 

[LithoJazzoSphere]

You could list who hasn't been picked yet.  I mean, we could as well, but people are lazy. 

[ariich]

Fair.

Bastian Per

Glasser?

[ariich]

Bastian Per

Glasser?

Oops, apparently I missed that. I'll correct it.

EDIT: Also wtf

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Mandroid seems like such a Luke band, but surely he was already guessed for them?  I don't feel like reading back through the thread. 

Could Foscor be Evermind?

[Glasser]

Autumn is TAC.

[ariich]

Mandroid seems like such a Luke band, but surely he was already guessed for them?  I don't feel like reading back through the thread. 

Could Foscor be Evermind?

You're having as much success as Crow's random number generator.


EDIT:

Autumn is TAC.

Also no.

[Elite]

Both Fugue and Wheel were on my shortlist, but the latter would have meant deleting two other songs.

[nick_z]

Autumn has to be Litho

[twosuitsluke]

Mandroid Echostar totally is a me band, but as discussed earlier in the thread, those certainly aren’t me songs 

[nick_z]

Also, I know what Tim sent, but only because he told me…so I’ll refrain 

Black Map is Reaper?

[ariich]

Autumn has to be Litho

Indeed it does.

Both Fugue and Wheel were on my shortlist, but the latter would have meant deleting two other songs.

It's ok to send shorter submissions if it means getting the right songs.

Not that Litho himself does that though. I promised even more of a stats nerd's wet dream, and here it is. Now that all 6 regular rounds are in, here are player stats. As you'll see, Litho is the only person who has sent over 19 minutes in all 6 rounds.



Other interesting differences as well, like how faizoff and Stadler keep sending me artists I've heard before.

Much more variety here than there is between rounds where you all get averaged out!

[Crow]

hell yeah, numbers

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Autumn is TAC.

Hoping that was a random dart in the dark guess, because if he likes them and has been holding out on me he'd have some explaining to do.

I actually philosophically like the approach of maximizing runtime, but I honestly didn't really have to try very hard to do it, it happened pretty organically just with the songs I wanted, which led to me thinking 20 minutes might be a more ideal time for submissions and is making me bump up my remaining rounds in my own roulette to it.

Not sure if you saw my post, since I edited it:

Nice, well I'm glad to have helped!

[TAC]

As you'll see, Litho is the only person who has sent over 19 minutes in all 6 rounds.

I remember in your Fogey Roulette, you were clear in a couple of your writeups for me that sometimes less is more.

One of the things I remember from college is one of my professors said that "if it doesn't work for you, then it works against you."

[TAC]

Autumn is TAC.

Never heard them before. Listening now to one of the songs. Definitely not what I expected from the name of the band.
