Please stick around Raveneyes
Your debut Pearl Jam song was a standout
Also I took a long time (58 rounds!) to get my first podium /win - but that just made the experience of finally winning and hosting even sweeter
Also I added you into my avatar a little while ago :)

Would've you done the same if the full version of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida was nommed?
Most likely. I wont listen to the whole 47 minute songs and the 15 minute songs have to be special. I think 90% of songs over 10 minutes get the first 3 minutes and last 2 minutes unless I know there is a middle piece to listen to OR the first 3 minutes makes me want to keep listening

It's amazing how everything in life can be linked with The Simpsons. Every round in this contest, there's a reference that pops up:

Was thinking of this all morning in the shower. The entire episode in fact - an absolute classic. Moes family feedbag, "hang on a minute that sounds like rock and/or roll" the "soul doesn't exist it's something grown ups make up to scare us like the boogeyman or Michael Jackson" "god bless mom's soul and dad's soul and everyone who has a soul"

I've thought that mine doesn't exactly fit here either. I haven't been here that long so have been able to keep a tally of what I vote for, and what position I end up/number of votes and billies etc.

I've had some very low finishes with songs that I love, as you can see (highlighted position in yellow!!). But in the same token, reached some highs too. It really can depend on the theme and what other songs have been nommed. I agree with what others have said about nomming with #integrity and it can be great fun discovering new songs and artists. I've been surprised at what music I've discovered and enjoyed :) I really do hope you stick around Raveneyes. Please don't be put off by the melts (it happens every round). And no it's not a crime to share what you nommed, just we don't normally (people like to guess though; MWPP and I always guess each other's, mainly after we've already voted).

We need more people with different tastes that are outside the mould so I would hate to see you go so soon.
You would have likely gotten 5 from me for that world cup round.

The Simpsons in its prime was one of the finest bits of TV ever created. Funny, clever, relateable and, even touching at times. Unfortunately, it became stupid in season 11 with ridiculous plots like Kill the Alligator and Run and It's a Mad, Mad, Mad Marge. **** those episodes.

Haha yes, when I was writing out the songs so I can refer back to them when voting I typed In-A-Gadda-La-Vida as In The Garden of Eden. One of the best jokes.

Wait a minute, this sounds like rock and/or roll

On an unrelated note, I had no idea how big stoner metal was in the Gong.

Yes and yes.

Now Im going to have to listen to the playlist again.
This is a confusing response to my badly worded question.
However I believe I remember you talking about it in the past.


I've never and no.
Never tried drugs. Not even tried a cigarette. Never appealed to me *shrug* And I've even only been 'drunk' once in my life!
Im not promoting drugs (except weed- thats ******* great) but I feel that unless you have had at least one trip you cant truly appreciate psychedelic music.
I never really liked acid (waaaaaaay too intense for my liking) and took very little but what they say about it permanently 'opening the doors of perception' holds weight in my opinion.

Haha, I get what you're saying... And the answer is no, I probably wouldn't get it :p But that's ok! :)

The subject I was best at at uni was synthetic organic chemistry.
