Was a toss up for Nihil Strength getting votes there Ula, Amazing dude as I'm finding out

 

[Raveneyes]

Apologies all. Spent the better part of the day/night at the hospital.

Got my billy. Really safe nom, **** all experimental about it

Yeah, was a weird choice for this theme.

Theme didn't suit me.
Wiki'ed bands that fell into the "experimental music" category.
Picked a band I liked, then one of their songs.

Usually I put more thought into it.

I'm usually the guy with the 'safe' nom anyway.

Goes to nom a song I’ve wanted to nom for a while.

Gets DQed

You’re a campaigner Raveneyes

Yeah what GC said.

Suffer in ya jocks ND!

Loonerty - here's a surprise.

 

[NinjaSwan]

Unlike the majority of songs on the playlist, "Murder Mystery" had a couple of things going for it.

a) it was experimental
b) it has replay value. It's a genuinely good song that you can listen to over and over.

I actually agree with you that Velvet Underground are overrated, but this is a song contest. Not a band contest or a music video contest. That Cymatics drivel which The Jesus nominated and you gave 5 votes to was pure shit. Boring generic EDM crap. I knew the morons would vote for it. I don't even know why Ninja Swan allowed it, to be honest. There was nothing experimental about it.

What's really got me stumped is how William Wonka won round 332 with V.U's "Pale Blue Eyes" receiving something like 40 votes, but in the Experimental round, V.U's "Murder Mystery" received just 10 votes (if you subtract Wonka's 5)

Unbelievable... People who voted for "Pale Blue Eyes" and not "Murder Mystery" should give themselves an uppercut.

I probably shouldn't have accepted it, but I'd taken a long time to get back to him to the point where it was like 10 minutes before deadline when I responded to him, and when pressed for an alternate song he tried to nom the same thing except with robots over experiments so I just settled for his alternate theme interpretation, I also thought he'd probably get the Billy for it I was surprised it did that well.

I'll need at least a dozen more Fives from you to balance out billying SRV.

 

[Noobz0r]

Decisions decisions...

How'd the ear operation go?

SRV can GAGF

 

[Dav]

Guess who's listening to 3 hours worth of Pokemon themes this morning?

 

[Ulahoopski]

SRV can GAGF

Keep practising. You'll get there....maybe .... probably not.... forget it. Easier to hate on your betters.

 

[Agent93]

Hmm that's two accounted for which are unsurprising. (Agent93 is the other).

Where are the others hiding?

Yeah, I didn't billy Radiohead.

 

[Raveneyes]

I haven't played video games since my Sega mega drive days in the early 90s.

What f***ing chance have I got of winning with this?




Bloody Millennials stitching up us old timers again.

I'm afraid the 16-bit era soundtracks can't compete with the amazing scores of today.

Loved my Mega Drive too. But I still play when I can. Millennials can't keep this old fart down this time.

Decisions decisions...

Exactly.

 

[Plugger35]

Zero now that you've spammed it during the nom process.

The Sonic 2 theme with Tails was way better anyway.

 

[Loonerty]

I'd go as far to say that that was the best Radiohead song I've ever heard.
