WALRUSOPOLY: eyebooger's 15K mega-thread - Page 5

The Swedish-Estonian coalition accepts 2nd place depending on what came in 1st. It not being fast enough was a slight worry for us too.

Also, just wanna get it out of the way that Nick has submitted it before to tbob's walrus(where it scored horribly). Thing is, I came upon that song independently and as we were forming this duo, I said in this thread that I have a techno song ready. I didn't follow Tbobs reveal so the ethics court of walrus shouldn't be mad.

Losing to a Finn submitting a Finnish song stings.

Great song(+video) and obscure, fully deserved.

This would have won the category. Easily.

At first I was like "why the **** didn't I think of IDM", then I realized it was a techno category.

Poooodium!

I agree the video is awesome

I'm think we'll be able to produce a worse category than this imo, not sure though because I'm not gonna listen to the AIDS here that scores NEGATIVE points.

Me having listened to several compilations from Algeria and lenC googling "Egypt alternative rock" just to find directions to various archaeological sites it would shock me if that category isn't worse. I'm interested in listening to what others found that wasn't complete crap.

Also this, anyone who has a problem getting a full entry together should try to find a partner imo, it's a lot of fun.

In our internal chats I predicted this to be the best round for us btw, we shall see.

Top o' the table, bitches.

On a different note, the categories aren't getting any easier. I was told the categories would get easier.

lolNick - fails to find a techno song, gets partner, still fails to submit a techno song, somehow gets 2nd and even then bitches about the OP prefering a song not submitted, which he manages to misclassify using some horrible inappropriate USAian terminology. gjge. It's going to be a long 40 steps around the monopoly board if this is kept up.

fwiw, I also sent Miriam Macri - Essenza [Future 16 Rmx ] - which is pretty goat and indisputably techno - in case EB wanted to rule no Autechre/Aphex

Got some stuff to do this morning. Hope to pick this up later, but first I'll let a contestant defend himself.

In ??th place - scoring ?? points:

If [REDACTED] could tell me why this song fits the category, I'll re-evaluate. It looks to be some random Spanish guy singing a random Spanish song.

there's a pretty obvious reason why your walrus is attracting so many more entries than currently usual

I think we'll have to call in TBATM to mod that one.

If Rita ever progresses as far musically or lyrically as Sou feia mas tô na moda I'll reconsider how much less I think of her than I think of Tati, ok?

I didn't realize you really liked the song you were making the comparison to or I probably wouldn't have made the comment. But yeah, neither song is bad but not something I'd return to unless I accidentally walk into a gay club in Rio again.
