In 6th Place, scoring 19 Points

Spoiler:
Yes, entrant, you're absolutely right. If you could play this from start to finish you'd be pretty amazing. I don't consider myself the type to just enjoy this sort of thing in general, but I really did here.

Spoiler:
72o with November Hotel by Mad Season

By this type of thing I basically mean super long extended guitar-centric songs/solos, although I can think of a few I love. This one is right up there. The build-up throughout the first few minutes followed by the sustained frenetic pace/passion, whilst really being able to build and vary on a theme, really caught my eye ear.

Wait, wat? Bass-baritone? Do you sing it an octave down?

In 5th Place, scoring 20 Points

Spoiler:
Sometimes the perfect storm happens. This was it. I'm sure the entrant knows what I'm talking about.

Spoiler:
Nick Royale with In the Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel

It's a simple song, it's pretty easy to play, it's like super standard chord progression, but goddamnit it just works. It's so good. I hate it when that happens. Nick can play this, and did not submit a recording, sadly. Was definitely hoping for a drunk rendition.

Sure, everyone is in falsetto for that. I sing tenor when I sing in choir and that stretches my falsetto range.

I did once see someone sing a surprisingly good rendition of Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah at a kareoke bar. It was a bit odd.

Now I will have to come up with something new to complain about.

Gradually becoming more rustled/disappointed at 8th as there haven't yet been any more cover versions after me. But will probably be the highest place I get all contest with Binkles

With the combination of the category and my loltastic guitar skills it had to be done.

In 4th Place, scoring 21 Points

Spoiler:
Loved the way this was put together. I wasn't really familiar with the original, but having done the requisite familiarisation I think I very much prefer this rendition. The vocals have this dark, slightly haunting quality to them which I think really adds to the track. Kudos

Spoiler:
Jabonator with Do Me a Favour by Jabonator (Arctic Monkeys Cover)

Original Here.

Love the whole acoustic angle. Think it works super well. Really I think you're pretty unlucky to come 4th here, and lolbinkles is almost certainly the correct response. Thanks very muchly for submitting something you did yourself

Seems like Nick couldn't beat us so he joined us.

Nobody is more rustled at Nick's ranking than I, if I had any sort of indie education I'm sure he would have come last

Hey hey, I've played like 20 Walruses without ever submitting a song from what's probably my favorite album ever. I'm sorry I don't play the clarinet or have wet dreams about jerking off a guitar to Skrillex
