I didn't think you were going to take that seriously.   

But I do know you missed several.

I can keep going 

[lonestar]

I had five immediately pop into my head as well, all not on your list. Plenty of fodder for a 20+ minute submission.

[faizoff]

Are there even enough 20 mins epics out there from the non-banned bands?

That will be a challenge.

I have several hundred songs in the 20-40 minute range that aren't banned.

Wow I really don't listen to as much music as some of you guys.

So, other than Hemina and Moon Safari, mostly crap.   

I've got a couple dozen I can narrow mine to, and that's just in my iTunes library.  I'm sure I've got a bunch on Spotify, those are just a bit harder to find/sort.

[Metro]

Definitely in if you'll have me! Cool theme too.

I'll send the horse divorce thing tomorrow.

Welcome aboard! Don’t send me anything though, wait until you receive the Google Form on Friday.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

So, other than Hemina and Moon Safari, mostly crap.   

Not so much crap as 5-10 minutes of good ideas stretched out to 20-30. 

[twosuitsluke]

OK, looks like I've got some catching up to do...

I can't send King Gizzy as you are already used to fine dining.

Let's not kid ourselves, as delicious as King Gizzard is, they're more like greasy fast food than fine dining.

First off...

I can't send King Gizzy as you are already used to fine dining.

Let's not kid ourselves, as delicious as King Gizzard is, they're more like greasy fast food than fine dining.

Quantity over quality.

On the plus side, with Gizz off the menu, Luke has a shot to win!

Second and third off...

So, I'm in the process of compiling a playlist with only songs with the word Olive in the title

Shame that Devin Townsend is banned already eh?

Are there even enough 20 mins epics out there from the non-banned bands?

That will be a challenge.

I can think of shitloads. Not that they are necessarily any good, mind.

Yes, 20 minute min., 40 minutes max. for the Main Course.

You just inadvertently saved yourself from a Bell Witch submission without even realising it!

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Several of the "songs" I really like that are over 40 minutes, are basically just albums that are a single track long.  Tons of the super-long stuff in my library has a few cool moments with a bunch of padded bloat.  A few potential candidates, but even auditioning them is going to take so much longer than normal.   

[ProfessorPeart]

I just quickly scanned my library and 90% of my 20+ minute stuff is either banned or bands doing that stupid thing where they break an epic into separate tracks, which I then merge because they have no business being separate.

I only have a very select few options. Oh well, count me in. The Main Course will be my issue. I'm a very picky eater.

[twosuitsluke]

Oh, also I might try and only submit wine pairing songs that are about wine

[LithoJazzoSphere]

I also have oodles of ambient music that works, but I have no confidence in them doing well in a roulette format.  Maybe if I'm stinking up this one too by that round I'd consider them. 

Looking at my library, there are lots of other cool songs in the 10-20 minute range I'd overlooked, might swap some of those if Metro really does turn out to appear to be into gorging. 

[Stadler]

Do you have a table for me?

[Metro]

Most definitely!

[ariich]

Yeah I only asked because some people like harsh vocals but are put off by post-hardcore (or emo) style vocals

This feels oddly specific.   

I mean, yes you came to mind but you're not the only one.

But what do you have besides Moonsorrow... 

[Sacul]

Damn, I only just noticed this thread, I'm in if you'll have me

[lonestar]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooo.................................................

[romdrums]

This sounds interesting. I’m in.

[TAC]

- To make this a little more interesting, I'm gonna have you submit your songs anonymously through a Google Form.
This form will be sent out to participants via DM at the start of each round. I’ll try to guess who submitted what during hangman.

This is interesting. In one of my roulettes, I scored it completely anonymously. Once I locked down the scoring, which was confirmed by Stadler my secretary, I then guessed who sent what. 

[Metro]

This sounds interesting. I’m in.

Welcome aboard!

And I think I’ll cut it off there. 17 people seems like plenty.

[Anguyen92]

17 people submitting at least a 20+ min. song.....  That's a lot of hours to listen to for a round.  It may take a long time to get that scores and reviews out there.

[Buddyhunter1]

There's wine pairings too, so it's more like 25 minutes per person, minimum.

[Metro]

Indeed. I think the rest of the rounds can be done in about a week each, but I’m definitely gonna need more time for the main course round.

I have plenty of time to listen to music at my job, so making the time to listen won’t be an issue. I can handle it.


I might tweak some more of the criteria before allowing submissions, and I’ll update the OP with previously mentioned adjustments when I get home later.

You all have the rest of the week to decide on your first submissions. Once again, the Google Form will go out this Friday. Until then, DO NOT SEND ME YOUR SUBMISSIONS THROUGH DM.
Also, please make sure your inbox isn’t full.

[King Postwhore]

Oops. Lol

[TAC]

@ Puppies..

Until then, DO NOT SEND ME YOUR SUBMISSIONS THROUGH DM.

@ Stadler..

Also, please make sure your inbox isn’t full.

[Crow]

damn i only just saw this and it's already closed  oh well, no nightmare-core for you yet, then

[ProfessorPeart]

Oh good, the main course got a slight tweak. Oh bad, now I have a lot more to choose from. I'm already in analysis paralysis and we haven't even started yet.

[twosuitsluke]

So I'm holding off on submitting until Friday, when the Google thingy gets sent out?

That's good, as I don't know what I'm sending yet.

[TAC]

Oh good, the main course got a slight tweak.

OK, now to a 15 minute minimum. Hmm..

[wolfking]

So those track length criterias are for each song, or collectively for the two songs?  Sorry if covered, I suck at fine details.

[jingle.boy]

What's with all the fuckin questions!?!?

Asking for a friend.  Literally.

[TAC]

You’re fucking contagious!

[ReaperKK]

Will be following along!
