you can easily cap the chain length by putting categories that contradict each other in there.

No one is going to be able to get to 8 categories if they've got to go through 2 different date ranges or something similar.

Through the first listen of A2. There is a very clear song in the lead this round.

Bump.

offer to co-mod / help-mod

Sorry, endued up working some over the weekend. This week or next week is the last week for a while I should be putting in OT. (god I am turning into bloo from a reveal timing perspective).

lolUSAian health insurance:

have serious health problem; operation --> rest to recover immediately work many weeks of overtime to pay for treatment

one of the submitters is a scientologist?

Reveal soon, listening through all the songs again. Might take a while to reveal because there is a big pile up on the podium side of the middle.

soon as in tonight? this weekend?

not trying to rush you, just curious

Soon as in I will be starting in probably 15 min, worst is clear, best is clear, there are a couple of packs of songs close together so I'll probably have to do some more listening to get the order as I go.

In 11th - 1 Base Point
Going for the bonus points...

In 10th - 2 Base Points
Dubious vocals kill this

In 9th - 3 Base Points
Nearing the turning point....

In 8th - 4 Base Points
Going back a ways...

In 7th - 5 base points
This feels very formulaic to me...

Next 5 are all kind of close, gotta do some listenin

I think I have at least two other songs by Pushnoy, which means I'm ****ed.

In 6th - 6 Base Points

I've gone back and forth on how to order these enough...

In 5th - 7 base points

Well this was unexpected...

In 4th - 8 base points
OK someone has to miss the podium by a hair and that someone is...

PODIUM

In 3rd - 10 base points
This grew and moved up the ranks, but was beaten by a song which grew on me just as much...

In second, 12 base points

This song is just incredibly chill

I PM'd binkles when I posted the sign up but he didn't enter This song makes me wonder if Walrein is a gimick of his.

In first - 14 base points:
Walrein
Asian (+2) Instr/metal (+1)
fox capture plan - Flashing flash

This one gets a first impression - very cool! Yeah, this is going to be tough to beat. On second listen this is just great from beginning to end. And they are on spotify, so happy. So to try to describe what I like about this, it is clean, I like the rythm, I like the melody, I like arrangement, I like the pacing and when it shifts gears it is to something that fits and is good. This is just a fantastic jazz trio.

Total: 17

(if it wasn't obvious, I write the comments as I listen to the songs and add to them as I re listen over the days)
