IndyCar Wacky Cruise of Placid Procrastination - Back to Biz(arro)ness.

[Crow]

aww yeah baby this is a roulette now 
could've possibly overtaken lizzo by submitting earlier this time too but idk
musical quality this time seemed like a wash, nothing above a 3 except one song indi already knew so

[lonestar]

Shouldn't that say "best 3 guitarists breaks tie"? 

[jingle.boy]

*doesn't get targeted, still drops some spots* 

Ill send by tomorrow morning

And yet Tim ended up targeting you.  Though I thought if someone dropped in their standings, and the person they were originally targeting was 'out-of-reach', they weren't able to overtake anyone.  What do I know though... no one targeted me in the first 5 rounds, since I was dead middle of the pack.  And I wasn't winning any of my overtake duels.

[lonestar]

Sent yo...

You all should know how much I worship Savatage, this particular album, and the Olivas' unique brand of violent, emotional, and I dare say truly epic architecture of semplicity.

You do? The guy is a fucking slobbering Meatloaf wannabe. And he sucks too. One of the three worst singers I've ever seen in my life.

[wolfking]

  I knew that picture was coming.

[wolfking]

I will say, Ale, you are impressing me more and more with your tastes.  Streets came in at number 16 or something in my top 50, fucking incredible album.  Perfection.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

So far, my hat goes off to everyone (who has sent) for a batch of extremely thought out / researched / out of the box submissions. That's exactly the kind of engagement I set up roulettes for. Theme-wise, pretty much everything is on point, therefore I suspect the line of scrimmage will be sheer musical appreciation for this bout.

Uh, so what happened here?  By the results there were no 1s or 5s for raw score, but three 1s for the theme. 

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Sent for Round 7

[LithoJazzoSphere]

I definitely don't get the interpretation of the theme.  Only two got 4s, one of which is "With Arms Wide Open", which seems like it should come after "How You Gonna See Me now", or well before "Big Shot".

Depends on the context of if there was a story behind the song to make it tie in I guess, not necessarily just the lyrics.

[Evermind]

Yeah no chance against Savatage. Although gotta say, sending Savatage to Indi right after he sent I Believe in Chad's roulette...

Kade, are you going to send Dream Theater next?

[wolfking]

Honestly, I can't even fucking recall that.  Truth be told I rarely take much notice on what everyone else sends.  But honestly if I remembered that I wouldn't have sent.  That's a worry though, my memory has missed a few things lately.

That's actually next level Chad style. 

[Evermind]

You're in first place so you've got to be doing something right

[wolfking]

Just went back and looked, Chad posted the results for that round on December 10th.  Wasn't a great couple of weeks around that time but I should have taken more notice.  I wouldn't have sent otherwise.  Looks like Ill cross DT of the list though.

A lot of listening happened.

Of course interpretations are a subjective matter by definition. "With Arms Wide Open" struck me as a life changing event capable of leading from immature debauchery (Big Shot) to redemption (How You Gonna See Me Now), and it stood out as the most original and unexpected.

[ariich]

Ah yes, 3 each for quality and theme, my favourite scores apparently. At least this time they resulted in an overtake!

Sorry Crow.

[wolfking]

I'll send something in the morning mate if that's not too late?

[ariich]

Sent!

[King Postwhore]

I will be sending tonight.

[Lonk]

sent something

[Sacul]

Glad you liked that song, even if it barely fit in the theme . Yeah you really should check out that Argentinian prog / folk 70s scene, so good.

Sent!

That was mine, and that's exactly how it went down in my life.  I'm not exactly "sedate" now, but having a daughter at age 32 changed the game irreparably, and given that I met my then-wife when I was older but still single - and we got to go to Block Island and drink our faces off on a whim, or go to New Orleans for a fast weekend, cancelling our flight because of the hurricane and renting a car instead so we could eat more oysters before the evacuation kicked in - well, you can't do that when you have a baby looking to you for survival.   And while that child didn't end our marriage, it changed it, and those seeds of change ARE what ultimately ended the marriage.  "How are you going to see me now that my priority isn't YOU and YOUR personal satisfaction?"   

This was the easiest theme round I've ever participated in, ever.

[jingle.boy]

Someone sent Axel Rudi Pell already?? 

[romdrums]

Sent for Round 7.

[Evermind]

I forgot to send. Sorry guys (except Tim). Tuesdays and Thursdays are very hectic for me right now. Will send something tomorrow morning (it'll still be night for Indi, hope it's okay).

[TAC]

[Indiscipline]

No problem guys. This is going to be an odd-timed round due to some surprise features.

Also, please do not get discouraged by your standings. There are gonna be buckets of unexpected points for everybody.

[TAC]

Buckets?

[Indiscipline]

Brachetts!

[ariich]

Bruschettas?

[TAC]

Brachettis!
