alright then, if I'm gonna be stuck at home for ages I might as well do this



hopefully everyone knows how walruses work by now, submit a song to me for each category (youtube links preferred)

Bands that are off limits

I've listened to way too much by these guys, so they're off limits for this Walrus. If you submit them, they WILL come in last:

- Belle and Sebastian
- The Mountain Goats
- Shearwater
- Okkervil River
- The Hold Steady
- Beirut
- Los Campesinos!
- Owen Pallett
- Joanna Newsom

The Categories

1. It's the early days. This virus can't be that big a deal, right? It'll go away on it's own? Choose a song with some element of denial, self-deception, or refusal to accept something.

2. OK, so the virus is here. Time to hit the supermarket and stock up on all the toilet paper and pasta you can cram into the boot of your car. Give me a song about preparing for something.

3. You're working from home now, and losing your mind because the only social contact you get is when the postman drops off your junk mail. Give me a repetitive song, or a song about being bored.

4. Oh no! You've caught the virus! And you can't *cough* stop *cough* coughing *cough*. Time to find a song which contains nonverbal vocal noises to cough along to.

5. OK, you're feeling better now. But this virus seems to have been going on forever. When's it going to end? To take your mind off it, listen to a song that's less than two minutes long and remember a time when life moved at a faster pace.

6. The virus is defeated! We emerge from our bunkers, pale and wan, and go on to have THE BIGGEST PARTY MANKIND HAS EVER KNOWN. Choose a song to come on as you down your first drink.

Deadline

Submissions are due by Tuesday 31st March

Lol, I've heard of exactly one of your overexposed list.

subscribed to be reminded that i forgot to enter

The fact that I have only heard of one of these does not bide well for me. I’ll try to conjure an entry but no promises.

you bastard, not in

In

In with my usual array of underappreciated (by POG) artists and songs.

Done an in. Guaranteed last as I went pretty heavy for this one bar one song.

I'd heard of two, and the only reason I'd heard of the second was because of their more famous spouse.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by nonverbal vocal noises? Like, would scatting count?

Yes. Basically any song which features (at some point, but obviously) someone making noises with their mouth that aren't words. Whistling, humming, scatting, beatboxing would all be OK.

I'll leave it up to you as to whether I submit a troll entry or no entry. Because if I submit a serious entry you'd probably hate it just as much as a troll entry but I'd have to do more work.

I'd rather no entry than a troll entry, but obv a serious entry would be best!

3 entries received so far.

In, solid artists in your no-no-list!

subbing and will probably not do well lol

bump

I'll prob throw something together

Still planning on entering this and my gf prob will too

in

Need to finalize mine

in with a bunch of stuff you'll have either heard a million times or will hate...

it could be both!

This is the last day for entries BTW, for those who are interested but haven't sent anything yet.

Prob not gonna make it in. Been putting out fires every day for clients due to the rona. Sorry

I’d love score along if interested as there is some overlap in our music preferences

If you can get the first couple of categories in I'll give you a few days for the rest.
