This is so much easier now I have a template...
Blind_Io is now in positive vote territory, and 93Flareside has taken his place at the bottom of the table. Jules and Galantti continue to lead the way.

Week 3 has begun - 3 days left to submit songs you were introduced to by your parents/family.

Current round didn't need any thought, will probably be the easiest one to pick out of all rounds.

 

[Misrabelle]

I just got through listening to the playlist from a friend's league. She set 8 upvotes and 2 downvotes per round. Even inversed, that wouldn't be enough downvotes for the round.

I regret having ears.

 

[ninjacoco]

Listening to the Round 2 playlist while making up these spreadsheets, I'd just like to point out that the Earmuffs round is like week 6...there's a few songs that would fit in that playlist too.

Having said that...I'm a little worried now for whats to come...I know what we're like...

I'm kind of kicking myself that I didn't look ahead to save that one the Earmuffs round! Haha.

There's more, though. I'm certain of it, haha.

 

[kalf]

I think I'm gonna have a hard time voting this round, really love this playlist.

 

[Dr_Grip]

One of the challenges with the music league is to narrow stuff down to just one per round.

So, here's the Discard Pile of all songs I didn't use. I'll update it each time voting ends.

 

[DanRoM]

Yeah, predictably lots of classics this time around.

 

[Matt2000]

I felt bad downvoting tracks precious to people through their parents. Them's the rules though, it was an interesting list.

I've mostly chosen ahead but some of my favourite tracks apply to more than one round so I'm having to decide where they will do best.

 

[DaBoom]

One of the challenges with the music league is to narrow stuff down to just one per round.

So, here's the Discard Pile of all songs I didn't use. I'll update it each time voting ends.

I've also made a qualifier list. But that has all the rounds already, so I could post that after the whole sweep is done. I also made one using only a single artist. It's almost feels like I enjoy making lists...

 

[DanRoM]

I always just make up my mind on the current round as it comes up.

 

[Dr_Grip]

Now, waiting for Votes to come in...

 

[Blind_Io]

Sorry, I will get that done today

 

[Misrabelle]

I'm part way through. I get into the playlist and then get called away by Dad needing something, customers calling or staff.
Also, I fully expect that I'll cop the most downvotes this round.

Voting done. @Mitchi @rickhamilton620 - you're running out of time!

 

[Dr_Grip]

As discussed on the Telegrams, the live round comes with several challenges:

• What even is a good live recording?
• Is the live recording I want to post on Spotify?
• If it is on Spotify, how is the edit in terms of ambient/announcements/banter?

But I think I picked something good.

Also updated the discard pile for Mom&Dad round.

 

[kalf]

• Is the live recording I want to post on Spotify?

Especially that made it hard for me. The first song that came to mind was a completely different song and artist to the one I submitted, 'cause the live version of my first choise that was on Spotify from another concert really didn't have that same vibe/emotion/quality.

 

[Matt2000]

I'm not so sure about my choice, I do think it's an enhancement over the non-live version though. You guys might hate it.

Also sorry @Misrabelle for the cringeworthy Aussie song, I'm surprised at how well it did.

 

[Misrabelle]

I particularly liked Davetouch's comment on that "Hi Gerardine". Nope!

Working on leaderboards now...

 

[93Flareside]

Especially that made it hard for me. The first song that came to mind was a completely different song and artist to the one I submitted, 'cause the live version of my first choise that was on Spotify from another concert really didn't have that same vibe/emotion/quality.

I ended up finding the studio version on Spotify, then posting the YouTube link in the description portion.

Jules is still in first place, with three Finns tied for second.
93Flareside now has company in the negative points zone.

Week 4 - Live Songs is now, er, live. You have 3 days to submit your songs.

A special to whomever posted the song I was going to use. I've already mentally upvoted you, damnit.
Still, happy with my second choice, let's see how that goes...

 

[Dr_Grip]

I ended up finding the studio version on Spotify, then posting the YouTube link in the description portion.

Since the description is not visible while listening, I suggest you change your choice. A studio version in the live playlist is a surefire downvote dump.
