Official Match Thread S31 Round 8 - Las Vegas Bears vs Gumbies FFC at The Stadium in the Sky

[MWPP]

What are you talking about?? 3 of my 5 votes were songs which finished near the bottom, I gave my 5 to the best song by miles and the other because it was the greatest UK chart battle of the 00s. My Billy went to the ineligible song, and I was the only one to Billy it?

I think you missed the wink

 

[Chipmunk]

Does the song contest play a little like Cards Against Humanity? Or are there enough people involved that some variety is appreciated?

A little of column A, a little of column B to be honest. We seem to alternate between mainstream wins and genuinely good finds.

Put it this way, my attempts to nom grime are never appreciated

 

[Chipmunk]

I think you missed the wink

I did! Let's see how it turns out today. I heard that Genghis Tron nommed the Backstreet Boys, so looking forward to that.

 

[omgfridge]

Haha it was.

Really liking Fisher up forward. Think they realised his potential there after he kicked 4 against the us (eagles) last year.

I love variety in a list
I even had a dig at por_please_ya when she picked a terrible theme which unsurprisingly resulted in a terrible list recently
Genre based themes are the worst kind

I thought you were talking about SC, Fisher won the Billy once iirc!

 

[MWPP]

But to answer the question
-no list has enough variety unless there’s rap/hip hop , even if the rest is full of bland guitar rock, right Chipmunk ?

 

[omgfridge]

Ah footy at 8.30am

Reminds me when its NFL season and I have it playing on my phone on my desk at work.

Why?

You'll never let me live it down

You need rap/hip hop for variety, yes. People should stop saying different ways of performing the same instrument and singing in the same whiny way is variety.

Biggest controversy in the SC since the previous round

IM LOSIN IT

I gave it a vote, and had never heard of it!!

I'd say yes, considering I've won with the Level 1 theme from Doom, Chris Cornell, Leonard Cohen, Los Delinquentes (Spanish band in an open round), Press Club, TISM and the Meanies!

That's a controversial statement.

You know I’m not “most” people.

Why?

Because they result in too little variety, which in turn affects enjoyment and causes listener fatigue

 

[Chipmunk]

That's a controversial statement.

Please tell me you've:
- checked your nom for silence
- offered a reasonably mainstream nom this time

 

[Barrybran]

IM LOSIN IT

Peter Garrett is ****ing pumped for Monday when the remainder of the Covid restrictions are eased

 

[MWPP]

It’s not even your most questionable hosting decision (the one that Wonka won) , but it‘s glaring in light of that “we think genre based rounds are bad” comment

But yeah, give it a few more weeks and all will be forgotten .

 

[omgfridge]

I gave it a vote, and had never heard of it!!

Is that the one that got the billy though? I don't hate it, was everywhere when it came out.

 

[por_please_ya]

Please tell me you've:

I did in fact check my nom for silence LOL

And not sure about mainstream but... I think it's one you AND MWPP will like

 

[MWPP]

Why does the mainstream part matter?
Agree with the silence thing though
People who don’t listen to their own track or worse , listen to it and nom some silence to waste our time anyway are the worst

 

[Chipmunk]

I stand corrected, they didn't. Apologies!

Come on...that was hilarious though. Especially as we were having our own silent disco while listening...

Yeah...I couldn't go for rap/hip hop this time but it's again a "more popular in the UK than Australia" nom. Let's see what you both think.

While the music scene in Vegas is sounding hot, we can also report the weather should be hot on Sunday. A forecast of 81 degrees fahrenheit, don't expect a solid performance from the Gumbies in that warmth.
