Re: jingle.boy's Roulette v5 - th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-that's all folks!

Fantastic.

Ruslan and Jazzo doing a perfect impression of two guys playing Worms on PS1, both left with just one worm, both with only simple grenades available, both suspended on a tiny speck of pixel terrain on opposite margins of the screen.

I'm in tears reading this.

I'm beginning to wonder if LJS is trolling ME with this submission.

Is it a Dream Theater cover by any chance? The Ulrik guy has a "DT Jam" on their MySpace connections page.

I know you can't answer this.

Yeah no I've got to work tomorrow.

[Evermind]

Okay I have no idea.

If the letter-guessing cooldown resets, give me W (for What the fuck is Litho's song) when it does. See you in 6 hours.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Speaking of "W", Kade's band is "Winterborn".  Good grief that took way too long.

I'll take an "O" if we're opening up letters again. 

[Evermind]

Good grief that took way too long.

No shit.

You'll be facepalming when you'll get Puppies' band.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

I think you have more powerful tools than I, and more savvy with using them. 

[Evermind]

And you have such an extensive library that nothing I've got even works to find your song.

[wolfking]

I've missed all the fun again. 

Yep, Winterborn it is.  Great, underrated album.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Wilton and Akerstache - "Drag Ropes (Chaining My Heart)".

FUCKING FINALLY!!!

[Evermind]

Wilton & Akerstache - "Drag Ropes (Chaining My Heart)".

FUCKING FINALLY!!!

I almost posted it while in bed as I thought I don't want to take any chances that you guess my song before Puppies while I'm asleep.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

I don't know if I'm really facepalming though.  Never heard of it, just not one of the permutations I'd tried yet. 

Kade's was hard because it's almost always displayed as "Lovehunter". 

[Evermind]

I've missed all the fun again. 

Try to guess Litho's song, it's a lot of uh, fun.

I don't know if I'm really facepalming though.  Never heard of it, just not one of the permutations I'd tried yet. 

I may be misremembering then, thought you liked Storm Corrosion.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Well damn.  I kind of see what you mean.  The song title doesn't usually have the parenthetical subtitle.  I've heard that album of course, but it's not one I've spun a lot, I found it underwhelming (and mentioned somewhere in the last few months that I probably should revisit it). 

I'm a huge Katatonia and Opeth fan, but I can't claim to be a world-renowned expert on them unfortunately, same way Lethean was able to sneak in that Sailors With Wax Wings song into my roulette.  If I'd heard it beforehand, I'd forgotten about it.

My bad there, Kade even sent it to me as Lovehunter..  I'm assuming because I had to manually type it in, there may have been an autocorrect??  Although, it being two words might have actually sped up solving it!

In this case, I doubt it.  But what's done is done.

Come on now, maybe you haven't listened to it yet, but you have the song and my PM about it. 

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Are we still waiting to see if king, Stadler, or any observers are going to contribute any letters?  If not we're probably still at a 0.5 deadlock for awhile, because Ruslan is likely asleep and I might as well be.

Not sure why it's one word though, it's listed as separate words on the guys last fm. Something seems fishy to me...

Well, in this case (and in the case of Puppies' with the additional title in parenthesis), I just copy/pasted into the hangman spreadsheet the way the title and .mp3 were sent to me.

I picked s letter. I suck at guessing. 

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Looks like that wraps it up.

That's just how the file name was listed when I downloaded it a long time ago.  Notice "Progjam" is also listed both ways. 

So, the story on it is that I used to post at the Jordan Rudess forum, and Ulrik was one of the posters there.  Really smart and interesting guy, and apparently Oxford thought so too.  He still does some live music with The Karaoke Collective, but doesn't seem to record anymore that I know of.  Anyway, there was a series of prog rock/metal jams he did for the JR forum, and I was blown away in particular by that one.  As Evermind found, there's also a "DT Jam".  He used to have them hosted on Myspace and possibly elsewhere, but since the JR forum and Myspace are long defunct, they're verging on lost media now.  But it felt appropriate to spread the love to another DT fan who had an influence on me.  If anyone wants to hear the song I can e-mail it to you. 

[LithoJazzoSphere]

I've gotta hand it to Ruslan, he's managed to get everyone so myopically focused on taking me down that all he needs to do now is have jingle like his song 0.5 more than mine to go into sudden death, or 1.0 more to outright win. 



Although, I suppose if the song quality winner isn't in the top 4 we could have another mini-round of drama to come.

Or you both could fucking tank the quality, and I scoop out a 10 with Rie's Celestial guitar work and leapfrog both you bitches.

So......is this guy an established artist?  When I googled him and saw he was an Oxford phycologist, I didn't know what the fuck was up.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Not per se that know of.  It's possible he's done other work I'm not aware of under other names, but as himself, I just know of the hobbyist recordings he was doing back then, and that he does some live stuff on the side more recently with another group, and I can't find much with them either.  I wish I knew of more, he was one of the two most interesting players from there.  At least, of the people who weren't already known quantities (like Frank Lucas, and JR's keyboard tech Bert Baldwin, for example). 

Mason.  Loving your submission.

One of my favorites too.  Maybe it'll get him to open up a bit more to growls and blasts.

Jeez mate, I gotta say, is this tactic really in the spirit of the game?  I mean, you gave it to RJ but this seems way more extreme.
