Song Contest Part XV, Host: Back One Out, Theme: Woodwind Instruments, Votes Due: Sunday 10pm AEDT

[ChappyUK]

It's okay I worked it out.

Good for you. Beats just trying to find something new.

 

[SM]

Because restrictive creative themes have been going really well. This is clearly a trend that won't last, but if last round is anything to go by, the consensus is it will produce some stellar playlists for the time being.

So let's just do it for every round then? I think you're missing my issue with it.

I did find something new initially and nommed that.

But then I changed my mind and decided to see if I could engineer a nom.

 

[Cabasa]

Anyone wanna become my friend on RYM so we can start rigging this s**t??

Had the same thought actually. I've already given a review (harsh, obviously).

I literally described it as a trend that won't last in the post you quoted. Which is what it is.

 

[SM]

How do these ratings even work?

I'm trying to rig a particular album onto the second page, but it's rated lower than some songs there and higher than others?

Is there no order to these rankings???

I looked up a particular category as albums and got more results than singles..

I literally described it as a trend that won't last in the post you quoted. Which is what it is.

And I literally suggested if we're just going off "Well everyone liked it last time" as a reason, why not do it every round?

Everyone loved the nostalgia round I hosted, why not do that each round?

 

[Cabasa]

RYM just accused me of being a bot, contest is clearly going downhill

I keep getting 503' since my harsh (yet deserved) reviews.

For smaller bands, albums tend to be added much more often than singles, simply because people care about them more. If you go to the artist pages for most small Australian artists you'll notice this.

Because if you're unlucky in that round, your options are still limited? With this theme you can make it work for you. A few people also mentioned to me that they were really enjoying RYM as a resource, so I daresay another round which really harnesses it as a discovery resource is going to be welcomed.

It's really not the end of the world.

 

[The Speaker]

In with the actual winner this time

Of course it isn't. It's weird but I thought ribbing the host was generally encouraged around here, particularly for something that's as easy to target as a lame, repetitive theme.

I have Bandcamp redux ready and waiting.

You could try to be more creative with the ribs. Bitching doesn't come across as ribbing, it comes across as bitching.

 

[JoshWoodenSpoon]

My nom goes out to my new music soulmate, The Speaker.

 

[William Wonka]

It's a lovely day to be without your trousers.

As is every day with a Y in it.

Do you like Vaporwave?

I like vaping hash, are they similar?

 

[SM]

I guess I could try the pretentious woe is me attitude that you've nailed for the last few years.

I'll try to to remember that all the bitching about the WC theme that continues to this day is really just ribbing I guess? Or maybe you're right and it is people just being sooks.

 

[NinjaSwan]

We’re having a 2nd RYM round and there’s talk of a Bandcamp redux yet we still haven’t had a Soundcloud rappers round? Unreal

DJ Loonerty is pretty stiff not to have been nommed.

How many alts will I need to get him into the top 80?

Pretentious? Moi Wah Wah.

The pretentious part, sure. Not sure what you mean by woe is me. I feel I more so have a god complex. Anyway, give it a crack and let me know how you go.

I started checking out that weed mixtape I have the other night. This was an early highlight:


Some of the best lyricism I've ever heard.
