:eke: Pandering to the mod

This one was a bit trickier. On the one hand, nick submitted the clash, whom I wrote a ****ing essay on for TBob's first walrus. But even more brazen was telc submitting a group I linked a song from in the sign up OP!

+1 super delegate to telc!

"OMG This primary is rigged! The party is manipulating the rules!" - every candidate not winning their primary and at least one who is

How did Nick not win pandering for the Clash?

Boo dropping down spots. Down with the Bloo relistening method!

Well I clicked on check the rhime and when I decided to enter, electric relaxation was the next song on

#1 reminded me of Gotye a lot. Which is OK because I quite like Gotye.

This....

Dat unclassifiable indie-electropop that has been ubiquitous for the last 15+ years ever since Erol Alkan and James Murphy stated playing dance music to the rock kidz.

Miike Snow, btw, - and its a band not a person. We even had TehVader trying to give us lessons on how to pronounce 'Miike' in SE-English Football thread ~6 months ago as a Scandi surrogate Swede (since Zlatan is the only actual Swede who posts there and no one is bold enough to ask him about that kind of stuff).

~40 years actually - WMIHP was released in summer 1978, their first single (White Riot) in March 1977.

I love White Man In Hammersmith Palais dearly - I'll only yield here to fnord and maybe not that if he hasn't listened to the song for a decade. But I don't see it as a fit for the category.

Yes, ofc, there's the angry half verse about the mod groups selling out punk linked to the realpolitic of 'our' dictators/'their' superpower dictators being ceremoniously welcomed. But it's not really their most inspriring stuff politically - mainly because most of the song is a loving portrait of Black West London 'youth' culture in the mid-late 70s - hence the descriptions of gigs/soundsystem gigs and peans to Delroy Wilson et al which dominate the chorus.

zomg

Put together a play list with the round 2 entries so I can listen at work, round 2 reveal tonight (unless I end up going back into work right after dinner and don't get back until late)

Reveal of Cat 2 tomorrow.

Here are the super delegates for the round though:
- Message Delivery
- Message Appeal
- Positive Emotional Appeal
ಠ_ಠ - Negative Emotional Appeal

Son of a bitch, I had an awesome updated version in the pipeline but never got around to submitting it.

It had more indie folk!

Aside from the rankings and the quality of the music, it's a solid reveal so far

I didn't know you liked the Clash and won't admit to any accusations of pandering unless you can show documented proof of being a Clash fan.

I did think you'd like the ska rythms of that particular song though.

And lol Miike Snow. I can't listen to that thing right now, so I can't actively not listen to it, but if I could I would to show my distain.

Here's a walrus you were in:

Here's the reveal of my category 2 entry:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...&postcount=263

Here's you acknowledging you read the entry:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...&postcount=266

Here's more evidence of your knowledge:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...&postcount=278

And besides, we all know you have a walrus database!

damn, Nick got lawyered

this post by the way.

At least I got fnord to waste a few minutes digging up the proof.

I'm gunning for the [redacted] super delegate next round, crossing my fingers.

Probably doesn't score better than power metal anyway.

twas then when the hurdy gurdy man came spinning songs of love

You pronounce it Mike, lolvader

I'm tired and cranky, so good mindset for a reveal IMO

This was a weaker category, so 9 points to 1 point instead of 10 - 2

A rather unintelligible entry comes in 9th for 1 point:

Another song that kind of leaves me flat comes in 8th for 2 points

A band I never really listened too arrives in 7th for 3 points
