Question.

What's a song you loved as a kid that you no longer like and would happily billy it?

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.

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.

Pffft.
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.

Hahaha fair! British royalty isn't my idea of interesting.

Like the funky beat, LL Cool J's still got it. Eminem... is better on this than his Houdini effort #positivity

Both good tracks. Whole album is solid, really glad you liked it. Their first release was alright, but not as good for my tastes.

I was happy to find an album with a male vocalist that I like so much. The last year and a half I've really struggled to find any male fronted stuff that sticks with me for some reason.

In saying that my probable number 1 for 2024 is male fronted, you might like it but they're a harder sell than the previous rec.



Tightened up their sound (their previous releases are a bit of a mess at times), had a vision for the sound they wanted and in my opinion, executed it to perfection. I'd probably start with 'my wife and the goblin'

I was going to join this round, had an artist in mind but their stuff isn't on YouTube so I spent too much time making a video, exporting it then trying to upload it to YouTube only for them to turn around and give me some bullshit error once it had finished.



It's a bit different and I'm sure some in here would argue it's not a song, but whenever one of their tracks comes on shuffle I get sucked into it. Very relaxing, spoken word, synth, cool drones and tones, weird shifts, ambientesque. It's 30 mins long so that would've been an issue for some also.

I made something like that for myself, it's not perfect but it does tally vote totals once you've done the data entry?

I'm sure there's better solutions floating around.

I can get the totals now.
But no order to the votes low to high...and their position number.

Just need to do a sort on the votes column on mine after votes entered.
