Song Contest Part XIV, Host: Ulahoopski, Theme: Songs Starting With a Vowel, Votes Due: Wednesday 9pm AEST

[ChappyUK]

I've sent Broken the theme for when I win this round.

You hated me last round, you'll hate me even more next round.

 

[raskolnikov]

What the very ****?
In what possible way????

Everybody knows limpy refers to limp wristed. (i.e. gay). It's another way of saying, "That's so gay".

 

[Ulahoopski]

Boted.

**** me dead, I thought Ulahoopski was being a miserable campaigner when I read his post but it seems he was being generous and kind!

Admittedly I didn't really put a whole lot of thought into this rounds nom as I found the theme annoying and tedious but at least I went with something vaguely listenable.

The last dozen or so rounds have given hopes that you tasteless bastards had seen the light and were no longer going to inflict that mewling wimprock on my delicate ears.

Those hopes were dashed tonight.

As much as it pains me to do it, im dusting off the Limpy, (results to be released when my nausea subsides)

Yeah, in retrospect 30 minutes was most generous. 20 at the most, and I only knew 2 tracks.

I can assure you that it refers to 'Limp dick' as its awarded for Softcockery

Only those who want to be offended would link limpy to wrist, ya limpdick.

Now you're making fun of my erectile dysfunction.

I've never heard it in that context before. I've only ever heard it in relation to limp-wristed.

And you call yourself an English teacher!

I hate the award because it's nothing but bullshit hate speech toward younger people by old crusty flogs.

I do think Wonka needs to reel in his toxic masculinity a bit.

 

[Dzhimara]

I'll think on it when I have time. Farkk Oren Ambarchi is sooo goooooooood though.

Agree.

I found out about him through James Rushford. Really inspiring music.

It'll be interesting if this round he awards it to a Gen X.

Yes, yes it is.

Anyway on to the Limpy Award itself.
Its not indicative of a lack of musical talent or ability, in fact being brilliantly talented counts for nothing.
Neither is it (as some incorrectly assume) awarded to anything not rock or rap- in fact just the opposite.

To be eligible for the award the artist must have some element of either just corrupted almost beyond recognition by their whining millennial ways.

Thelma Plum is ineligible for instance, as is Kylie, as is Brainbug etc.

In a weaker field it could have.

When did masculinity become toxic?

You sound like a white privileged man. Shame on you.

Reckon Elliott Smith might win.

If by privileged you mean broke and being treated unfairly when it comes to child support then yes I am

 

[por_please_ya]

Lol I've won the Limpy once or twice. I don't get offended, I laugh.

 

[Harvey Manfrenjensenden]

Are NaturalDisaster and Chappyuk self regulating here or did this topic spring the PC brigade into action?

All I'm reading is toxic masculinity.

Typical ignorant cave man.

Intersting that Sigur Ros made the Hottest 100 in 2008.

Going through the yearly lists was an rewarding trip down memory lane. Then as the years go on you recognise less and less names and realise that you're old.

You need a cleanse of hang-pan music to cleanse yourself from all the racket.

Lol I'm only 30 and I feel old when I look at the lists these days haha. It's because Triple J represents the music of today's youth, those under 25. So of course they aren't going to play AS MUCH of the stuff I loved them playing ten years ago ( and still love today). Same goes for those who were in their teens/early twenties in the 90s and rocking out to their version of Triple j.

I don't even know what that means.

And I wouldn't have lasted a week as a cave man. A quick wit didn't bode so well back then

I look out for a lot of new music. Stuff Triple J would have been all over in the past. When I looked through the 2018 list there was very few I recognised. Not sure if it's just due to my growing Aus music disconnect
