1st Place :: David Davis - Tomorrows

From the first listen, I just absolutely adored this and it was never outside my top 3. As has probably been picked up on with some of my other choices in other categories, I do enjoy a nice bit of Piano! I played piano when I was kid growing up and I have always had a real affinity for piano played well. I really enjoyed this piece. Beautiful Piano. Beautiful voice. Just a really beautiful song that has had me enraptured from start to finish. Thank you so much for submitting this!

1st Place - 15 points to

Pretzil

For once im on my mobile and ive no idea if these are good or bad as i dont know them and cant be listening to them on my piece of crap

Congrats pretzel i look forward to listening

Well done Pretzil.

Rikand, do you want me to post the scoreboard?

Rikand

Thank you everyone for your submissions for Category 3 - Songs from 2019. A few songs from there that I really enjoyed and my faith in music of the current year is not all but lost lol

Category 4 - Songs from before 2010 is up next. I have already had a glance through some of the submissions and I am really really looking forward to this next category. There is some absolute belters in there. In fact, they nearly all are. Gonna be so hard to rank em, but I'm going to really enjoy the listening part of it haha

provisionally planning wednesday as the next evening for a reveal, so we'll hopefully see you all then

Pretzill

Aww so glad you liked this one Rikand! It has all the hallmarks of a good song for me, had me humming it after first listen. A fine voice and performance from one to watch, I'd say.

Grats Pretzill

Hey Rikand, on a scale of 1 to 10 what would you have scored this had I entered it?

osh

Thanks for another good reveal Rikand, and well done PJ and Pretzill.

If anyone likes my song, this was the original video I submitted. Song itself starts about 2:05 just to warn you, but the video is more interesting

Yeah - 3


You probably did better with Lewis Capaldi.

I love Wiley! But Sean Paul.... /facepalm

sKeith

i like the extra intro osh., i know on relistening it might get annoying, but on first listen, i think it adds to the experience,

That's what I thought too. And adds to the impact of the song coming in imo. But I can see how it would be annoying also

osh

Also guys I hear Ecto has 8 entries in for her walrus. (sorry if you're a guy, but I assumed not, mind you I'd thought that with Electric Nitwit too )

So get your entries in if you're interested

i entered ectos walrus tonight. hope i do better than hp.

sKeith

you're correct this time, i assumed the wrong way in first game i played with her when she was emf2010, and she was confushed when i kept using he pronoun.

Great choice Pretzil, well done! I never heard the song before but I instantly love it.

So Rikand...at least we got Eddie Vedder and the piano to talk about if we ever meet up, eh? :pac:

I think the seer should come out now btw, don't care if saying that makes me look wolfy.

That's a class song

I'm in your head Rikand :pac: If you enjoyed that beruit one, this is their best imo

Had many a good night singing those lyrics

Just found they cancelled their gig in August

Catch up time. Cheers again Rikand

Well then... I'm very very glad I didn't submit this song for the next category :pac:

Ectoplasm

Ah I like that song Necro. I took a bit of a gamble on the next song. Hopefully Rik doesn't hate it

I like it too

There's a section of early 00's music that I remember very fondly, due to certain... reasons

8th Place :: Karen O and Danger Mouse - Woman

Not bad, not great, just okay. I liked the start but then she got real pitchy with the soprano bits and that didnt do it for me at all. Bridge was nice though

8th place - 8 points to Electric Nitwit

Just reading through after falling asleep last night!

Can't argue much, obviously I like it more and it earwormed me for ages, but I left this round to last and struggled. I felt very out of the loop but seems a lot of people did, maybe its just not been a great year

I recognise most of the others but will play catch up on them all

Cheers guys, thanks Rikand

fixXxer

Nice to see Rammstein being appreciated

Made me even more worried about my other foreign music choice ;_; Was going to keep them for then but then 2019 was a bad year for my kind of music.

Necro

Heh, maybe we're just getting old and not with whatever 'It' is anymore given a few seemed to struggle with this round

Pretzill

^^^
I'm surprised I'm in the position that potentially at most only six of us can achieve in this Walrus and moreso that I topped the 2019 category!

The next category now that's the one that'll show us all what "it" was :pac:

Love this game.

Clarabel

my cover

it's hard to know which one i love more.

Also next time I'm wolf this is my lynch song, you hear!

osh

Just came across this, if only I'd known about it for the cover round

Just getting into these now, but I nearly sent on Necros song.

For me its a great song, no sure why I didn't send it on in the end but I forget things...

I'm not a big Lewis Capaldi fan myself tbh, I just really love that song!

Easy top 3

Sorry Adiemus

Rikand

Great cover too!

osh

Actually after listening to that Du Hast cover, I was just reminded of this one too

Had completely forgotten about this.

GreeBo

^ lead vocals let down what was shaping up to be excellent!

Mollyb60

Oh that was an embarrasing fall from grace. I do think Billie is a very marmite sort of artist and she does put a lot of weird extra bits in the tracks. I think shes great tho. Will be top of my list of people to see at EP this year.

And yes for whoever mentioned it, Rammstein are playing their only UK/ Ireland gig in Belfast next June. Was gonna pick up a ticket for it as the stage show is insane but the starting price is £85 which is just too much.

Electric Nitwit

Google play playlist if it's any use. In fact, I'll copy them all...

I'm caught up now. I skipped most, 2019 can do one! Luckily there's a 65daysofstatic album coming in the autumn to save us

Rikand

Pre-2010 reveal hype

Just heard this on the radio and reminded me that this would have been a good submission for this category

Necro

It's happening now??



Another good one to enter

Rikand

I might do it tonight actually. I know its earlier than billed, but the wife and kids are away so it would suit me to do it this evening

Either is fine with me I'm off till Thursday :pac::pac:

Electric Nitwit

Just double checked, I think my answer to this round is the most Rikand-friendly answer I gave!

Rikand

Right so - Doing this this evening. Starting at around 10pm
