You should really concentrate on finding the get-a-good-score seat.

I doubled up this round, but only because I felt the songs went together really well. I most likely won't going forward, unless something really warrants it.

For some strange reason, I didn't even give sending the same band a single thought.  Just never crossed my mind.

I mean, there's nothing wrong with doing it, and it's explicitly within the host's guidance, so there's that.  I just prefer to expand my options and offer a wider variety of "flavours" when there's the option to provide two submissions.

Yeah I don’t have any problem with people submitting 2 songs from the same artist, but you better hope I like the artist.

Working on final thoughts/scores. Will post those tomorrow probably, and the Form for Round 2 will go out Friday.

Yeah, that's the rub, right. Litho did it a few times in my roulette, and it has served him pretty well, but it's really doubling down on your submission.

It totally depends on the host and the parameters of the round.  In TAC's case I feel like I have at least sort of a grasp on the types of things he likes, but I'm not always sure of which is the song most likely to hit.  In Metro's case I don't really have a clue what he likes, so I feel it's safer not to put all my eggs in one basket.

Partly this. Also for me I prefer being able to give a slightly fuller sense of the artist. That's why my own roulettes are "up to 20 mins of music from one artist" rather than "a song". But I know not everyone has the same preference in that regard.

Ariich is a freak, or somehow has more hours in the day than everyone else.

So the good news is there’s no 0’s, but there’s also no 10’s.

Individual song scores, that is. Not overall scores.
