Sorry about the DQ, life shit came up unfortunately.

 

[myblueroan]

I hear ya brother.

 

[myblueroan]

You're on fire tonight!

Was there only 1 DQ in the end? As I've got 331 votes out of a proposed 345 if everyone had voted (330 would be 1DQ?)

2 dq's?

 

[the fly]

2 dq's?

Maybe somebody had their votes counted twice.

Swinging by saying I'll be back as soon as I've run me rule over this year's Triple J song submissions then listen to my long short list, rank them in order concluding in a top 10 submission.

Then it's what I call Triple J season then, once that's done, I'll ease my way back in.

Question.

I don’t think I have even one song in this category. So I would skip the round if this was the theme unless some long forgotten memory came to me (but I doubt it)

For the round just gone many of the songs I tried to nominate were part of YoutubeKids so could not be saved /added to a list anyway so I suspect others would face that issue if there ever was that theme

 

[MWPP]

5 David Pomeranz - Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now (Perfect Strangers Theme) Saint
4 Kipp Lennon - Suspension (Buck Rogers Theme) JHF1870
3 Bewitched Theme DemurePrincess
2 The World Of Peter Rabbit & Friends Theme por_please_ya
1 The Walking Dead Theme raskolnikov
BM Boom Boom Boom Harvey Manfrenjensenden

Normally I put the placings next to the tags but holding off for reasons , sorry for the inconvenience

Question.

Ooh now that's a good question! Will need to think on that one. I tend to grow more fond of things over time, rather than get sick of them, so nothing immediately springs to mind.

I don’t think I have even one song in this category. So I would skip the round if this was the theme unless some long forgotten memory came to me (but I doubt it)

I hear you mate! How annoying is it??? So many great kids tv shows from yesteryear but apparently us adults are too old or something to enjoy them. And as you say, nomming something that can't be included in the main playlist is always asking for trouble (but occasionally worth it! no regrets with Peter Combe for eg.)

Theme: horses - any song title to specifically do with horses (stallions, mares, geldings, appaloosa, any horse breed...)

Noms due 10pm Thursday.

No previous noms

Looking forward to listening to two horses mate for 3-4 minutes next round if you're in Harvey Manfrenjensenden (and it'd still be an improvement over that Outhere Brothers 'rendition'!)

[MWPP]

Yeah, I'm happy to stick with that.

Thanks for confirming that you'll accept anything related to horses in the artist and that we aren't limited to titles with types of horses . Mentioning it here in case people are having trouble finding a song they like which has the title Stallion etc

Have many candidates as I have a trashy taste which was especially present growing up as a metal loving angsty teen (the trashy love is ever-present dgw).

This album by Hed PE was one of my favs circa 2005 -



I tried to give it a relisten during the pandemic and was horrified. It's truly irredeemable.

There's many more examples but I'll leave it at that.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Have many candidates

As many as possible.

 

[UncleImpairedRetina]

One of my favourite '24 releases. Actually think a few of you could be into it. Psychy/indie rock type joint.

It'll probably start with track 1 which I wouldn't recommend starting with. It's not bad, just not likely to hook you in.
Start with track 2 or 3, jump up to track 6 or 7.

Track 9 is my favourite, and even has a part about a minute in that could be confused for a Muse bit if Muse were a little cooler.

I could see Chappy, Ula, Och, Purple, fridge, maybe loonerty or tubbs and probably a few others potentially being into this. Pretty SC friendly.

Hopefully someone here digs it.

You've found a gem UIR! I listened to it all, thanks for sharing. Has a folk-prog sound that compliments each other nicely (sometimes find prog wanky and folk a snooze). They remind me of someone but I'm failing to make the link sorry. Closest I can do atm is Wye Oak instrumentally and, weirdly, Will Sheff for the tone.

The two songs I've added to my playlists are Neon Orange Leash (track 8) and Dope Magic (track 4) as I found the vocals the strongest on them whilst the instrumental quality was pretty consistent throughout.

Cheers again for popping in for the rec. Hope to see you in a contest again one day.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I have to push the deadline back to 10pm.

I'm sure no-one noticed, but my spreadsheet is an unbroken stallion in horse terms. And the handler is inexperienced. I have been given a few tips to tweak, so hopefully it works like a sedative on an unbridled mess.

re doing the votes. currently, only the billies are auto-populating.
any ideas on how to get the votes to auto-populate most welcome.

You'll have to do a whole lot worse than that buddy.

Has someone sent you their spreadsheet or is this one you made?

I was sent something when I joined. It doesn't like the new owner much.
I did ok with it last time I won... but last nite. Yeah. I guess I forgot how it works.
SPud gave me some tips and helped. He looked at the spreadsheet and dound some fixable things.
I spent hours re doing it today.
Learnt a tiny bit along the way.
Got it to tally votes but not put in positions.
So it's just a giant and painful chore.

What would be great is a spreadsheet that's set up and easy to use. Where all you need to do is enter the nommer's names and entries..put in votes..and everything else gets done.
Or is it never that simple?

Questions #13 and #19 today fellow music listeners.



Even a chess one in there for you Chipmunk and co. And no, the answer isn't a 'blunder' (however accurate that may be!)

16/20.

Got 8, 16, 17 and 18 wrong.

The Eminem "Houdini" would've been my choice for a "Worst Song of 2024" round. Dear Lord.
