Mort.
08.04.22 | what midway track specifically tanked mine lol |
Mort.
08.04.22 | if you tell me its despised icon then youre outing yourself as a weakass lame nerd
now im going back to painting my warhammer |
MarsKid
08.05.22 | Nah it was The Acacia Strain lol, although the Despised Icon song wasn't too impressive to me either. Fight me nerd |
Mort.
08.05.22 | my fault for not knowing enough deathcore
thats pretty much the only acacia strain track i like lol |
Storm In A Teacup
08.05.22 | I figured this would be likely but I risked it. I actually listened to that whole Loathing Req album and picked that song cuz I was not a fan of straight up Deathcore lol and figured something close enough might be worth the risk to have good songs on the album. |
Mort.
08.05.22 | should have gone for emmure like i was going to at one point |
SteakByrnes
08.05.22 | Solar Flare Homicide would've gotten you a 5 |

No eliminations yet, but the guillotine approaches. . . . .

SteakByrnes
08.05.22 | My album cover gonna go hard |
Mort.
08.05.22 | my album cover gonna be a picture of myself lookin fly
|
SteakByrnes
08.05.22 | my album cover will be me holding a picture of mort lookin fly |
Storm In A Teacup
08.05.22 | I tried the dir en grey song and one other from Johnny's album and both songs were 1/5 at best so I have little hope in appeasing Mars taste again before the elimations. |
Storm In A Teacup
08.05.22 | Do the songs have to be on youtube or spotify? I kind of want to use one of my own original compositions since I have recorded many indietronica songs and it would go well with the create an album cover as well. |
Storm In A Teacup
08.05.22 | "That, combined with other poor choices such as: Piano Man (why?)"
1. Because you 5'd that album
2. Lyrically there were portions of the song I thought it fit with the beatdown theme |
MarsKid
08.05.22 | My brother in Christ, I do not have a Billy Joel 5. |
Storm In A Teacup
08.05.22 | Wtf |
Storm In A Teacup
08.05.22 | Oh! Correction lol. Because you 4.5'd that Billy Joel album 😅 |
MarsKid
08.05.22 | My brother in Christ, "Piano Man" is not on that album lmao |
Storm In A Teacup
08.05.22 | Lmao 🤣🤣🤣 oh brother |
Uzumaki
08.05.22 | Outside of IA, what were some other choices that shouldn’t have been made? |
MarsKid
08.05.22 | Track 8 was brutal but also got boring for how samey it was, 2 was similarly eh, and the ending pop song didn't really gel as well as it could have I felt. |
JohnnyoftheWell
08.05.22 | oh fuck, yikes I think this is the first genre we've had so far where 1) I have strong preferences 2) it is niche 3) my preferences are v much not marscore yikes
ace genre when done right though
tentative dibs on

Supercar - Silent Yaritori

Sweet Trip - Chapters
LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends
and just bc fuck u Phero (but i would undibs this for you and you alone), Junior Boys - Teach Me How to Fight |
Shemson
08.05.22 | Ah fucking hell Mort my immediate thoughts were Flux and Electric Feel and you’ve already snagged them before I woke up and read the thread
I’m sad that you didn’t dig my beat downs Mars. If you don’t want enormous beat downs don’t ask for them and I’d have spared you Annotations of an Autopsy 🤣
That’s the way it goes, hopefully our tastes are more aligned for indietronica |
Shemson
08.05.22 | Oh and if Mort’s picking songs before he has a full playlist I’m having Idioteque from when indie darlings were primed to become guitar driven rock gods and freaked everyone out by moving to electronic music
Also that vocal performance is peak Thom Yorke imo so it definitely fits the bill |
Shemson
08.05.22 | Lol I just noticed Storms album was voted low too and I think we were two of the only ones who enjoyed our own playlists. Taste is subjective |
Shemson
08.05.22 | Changed my mind because Idioteque doesn’t really have any indie vibes
Dibs 15 Step Radiohead |
Shemson
08.05.22 | Ok, clearly that ‘no copying other people’ rule freaked me out so I’ve smashed together 12 tracks in no particular order.
They may change, but right now these are mine:
Radiohead - 15 Step
The Postal Service - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight - Remastered
The Strokes - The Adults Are Talking
MGMT - Kids
Bloc Party - Better Than Heaven
Maximo Park - Our Velocity
Klaxons - Golden Skans
The Killers - Smile Like You Mean It
The XX - Islands
Mystery Jets - Two Doors Down
Mew - Snow Brigade
Coaltar Of The Deepers - Lemurian Seed |
Sinternet
08.05.22 | I liked mine i was running to it the other day 99 problems goes hard |
Mort.
08.05.22 | ahhhhh youre so lucky i didnt pick golden skans as well shemson cos i was gonna
but then i listened to it for the first time in years and realised i didnt like it as much as i remember |
Shemson
08.05.22 | Lol I kinda had the same feeling re-listening as well, it could get replaced
Are you also an Englishman in your early 30s by any chance Mort 🤣 |
Mort.
08.05.22 | Hahaha an Englishmen in my mid 20s
So I think I was maybe 12ish when the whole uk indie/electronic scene was booming?
Other bands that come to my mind are hadouken and test icicles |
Shemson
08.05.22 | Haha same thoughts mate, my little sister was in a Hadouken video when they were breaking through but I’d started to get into the metal scene by that point
Enter Shikari was another one around that time but more core than indie |
MarsKid
08.05.22 | I'm surprised that Tyman and Sint were the only ones that went the rap route. "99 Problems" was perfect. |
MarsKid
08.05.22 | And in terms of preferences, I recall hearing potentially 10 indietronica records in my life, so who knows! It's an adventure. |
Shemson
08.05.22 | I almost did but I was going for a continuation of the vibe rather than switching the vibe
I almost used Heavy by Chase and Status with Dizzee Rascal |
MarsKid
08.05.22 | I'm just glad this round isn't metal. Deathcore was too much. . . . . |
Mort.
08.05.22 | Lol yeah I was actually considering sneaking a track from common dreads era Enter Shikari
Deffo a couple of tracks that were more indie than core from than record |
Shemson
08.05.22 | That’s true, could probably get away with that!
With most of my other choices I really wanted some early Foals in there but they never really went heavy enough on the electronics |
Mort.
08.05.22 | hmmmm yeah there is probably some foals deepcut you could get in but id have to go back. was a big fan of their early shit
also flash flood of colour from enter shikari probably has something that could count as well |
bgillesp
08.05.22 | Okay this will be tough. Don’t expect anything more than some abstract scribbles for a cover art. I really don’t have time for that, lol |
bgillesp
08.05.22 | Tentative dibs on TV on the Radio- Staring at the sun |
MarsKid
08.05.22 | I feel like this is a bit more of an even playing field than deathcore at least. |
Shemson
08.05.22 | Yeah Mort, early Foals was ace! For some reason I thought Antidotes had more synth but I think I was thinking of the random use of brass in songs like Cassius
Definitely feels like a level playing field Mars but tbf I thought I would have had no chance at emo and good chance in deathcore so you never really know! |
Mort.
08.05.22 | you know shemson listening back to enter shikari now im pretty sure there are picks all the way from common dreads to the most recent lp that could count (especially 'the spark' and 'nothing is true') |
Mort.
08.05.22 | and yeah listening to Antidotes now the synth is pretty minimal. deffo theres but really not prominent at all |
Mort.
08.05.22 | the hummer b side works pretty well actually! ill let you claim it : ) |
Mort.
08.05.22 | also very interesting how indietronica and that general scene was different on the opposite sides of the pond. i feel like the whole 'nu-rave' scene was very uk specific while in america indietronica had more of a pop bent
thats my complete uneducated armchair musing |
MarsKid
08.05.22 | Mort already going hard on the indietronica, I like it. |
Mort.
08.05.22 | im just excited for mars to experience nu-rave
youre lucky im not putting hadouken on there |
bgillesp
08.05.22 | I might be picking a few tracks that are borderline. If RYM calls it indie rock w/ synthpop as a secondary genre, but doesnt have indietronica listed, does it still count? |
Mort.
08.05.22 | indietronica isnt a very well defined genre (like the vast majority of genres) so speaking for mars which im not allowed to do yes sure go for it : ) |
Shemson
08.05.22 | Man I remember The Hummer being used for an advert for Skins and if that sound and show doesn’t typify much college years I’m not sure what does!
I’d agree with Mort in the fact this will likely have more borderline tracks. I picked a song by the Strokes who I doubt have ever been called indietronica but it’s an indie rock track with a big electronic beat so I think it fits |
Mort.
08.05.22 | Oh man i remember being young and watching skins like wow, teenage years are mental! Was such an insane show. People dying left and right. Drug dealers becoming teachers. Cars lost to rivers/the sea. A teacher/pupil affair. Raves in bumfuck nowhere . Effie being the most ridiculous hateable character seen on screen for years .
Tried to rewatch it a few years ago and Jesus Christ so much of it is awful but with little flashes of gold. Tony is a spot on depiction of an asshole arrogant teenager tho |
SteakByrnes
08.05.22 | idk where to even start with this so I'm just gonna peruse charts, maybe I have stuff in my ratings that would count |
JohnnyoftheWell
08.05.22 | "If RYM calls it indie rock w/ synthpop as a secondary genre, but doesnt have indietronica listed, does it still count?"
i would say a relatively firm line should probs be drawn between what's just indie-with-keys (metric and the killers, say) and what actively incorporates aspects specific to electronic music hmm |
Storm In A Teacup
08.05.22 | Uh…😕 |
Mort.
08.05.22 | johnny, with all due respect, please shut the fuck up

bgillesp
08.05.22 | We need an official ruling |
MarsKid
08.05.22 | There are nearly 9,000 releases tagged 'indietronica' in RYM's database alone. I'd recommend you stay within the boundaries as much as you can. If it's *really* borderline, then I reserve the right to make that judgement call.
|
bgillesp
08.05.22 | That’s mildly helpful *stomps off to find different tracks* |
JohnnyoftheWell
08.05.22 | mort i will shit on ur dog |
Mort.
08.05.22 | if you shat on reggie i would kick the shit out of you
the current idea for my album cover is me in an old enter shikari t shirt thats now too short for me holding my dog up and looking sassy
once you see how cute my dog is youll be shook |
Storm In A Teacup
08.05.22 | "A Loathing Requiem is, by all accounts, a technical death metal project, and I couldn't detect a whiff of deathcore here. I wasn't even able to find any reliable source that classified them as deathcore."
I forgot to respond to this but I looked it up before choosing them and found it easily. Have now found it in multiple places, mostly on the bands own pages. |
MarsKid
08.05.22 | I do not see any on their official pages, and regardless, their sound was not deathcore my man. Take the L. |
Slex
08.05.22 | How much is Johnny paying you |
bgillesp
08.05.22 | Controversial opinion- this is by far the hardest round yet (mostly because I don't know what indietronica "is", and I at least knew what deathcore was) |
MarsKid
08.05.22 | I wish I got paid for this. I listened to 7 hours straight of deathcore. |
Slex
08.05.22 | Lmao fair
Good luck brethren |
bgillesp
08.05.22 | I’ve come to the conclusion that I do not like most indietronica music |
Storm In A Teacup
08.06.22 | Fine Mars grumble grumble 😵 |
Storm In A Teacup
08.06.22 | I'm gonna submit a serious album of 11 songs by me and my lovely singing voice as payback. 🤣🤣🤣 Johnny, warn Mars! |
Storm In A Teacup
08.06.22 | In all seriousness I looked up an indietronica playlist and the first 3 songs didn't have any guitar at all. Is this normal slash right for this genre? |
Slex
08.06.22 | Yeah a lot of indietronica is basically electropop |
JohnnyoftheWell
08.06.22 | omg yessssss to storm album |
Storm In A Teacup
08.06.22 | Mars are you a fan of Robin Williams’ Mork and Mindy or Todd McFarlane’s Spawn? |
Shemson
08.06.22 | Ok I’ve done some research and I’m going to have to do some more research and change about half of my playlist
Updated dibs list
Radiohead - 15 Step
The Postal Service - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight - Remastered
The Strokes - The Adults Are Talking
MGMT - Kids
Bloc Party - Better Than Heaven
Klaxons - Golden Skans
The XX - Islands
Mystery Jets - Two Doors Down
Glass Animals - Life Itself
Only one there questionable is The Strokes but I love that song and it definitely fits the vibe on the album. Might not survive if I find more definite indietronica replacements though |
Sinternet
08.06.22 | "There are nearly 9,000 releases tagged 'indietronica' in RYM's database alone. I'd recommend you stay within the boundaries as much as you can. If it's *really* borderline, then I reserve the right to make that judgement call."
eh its a really loose term and what rym seems to consider 'indietronica' seems rather random, in fact half of the albums in the genre chart dont even have it as a secondary tag let alone a primary
to perhaps work towards a more accurate requirement, id suggest that either indie songs that follow an aesthetic or structure closer to that of electronic genres than standard indie, or indie songs in which electronic sounds are at the forefront of the music above guitar/drums are acceptable, potentially both |
JohnnyoftheWell
08.06.22 | yuh big agree |
Sinternet
08.06.22 | as a sidenote the vocal requirement annoys me so bad now i cant put all my fave deadpan new rave songs in |
Sinternet
08.06.22 | gonna dibs the following for now
shiny toy guns you are the one
m83 - we own the sky
the xx - crystallised
caribou - odessa
Chvrches - the mother we share |
JohnnyoftheWell
08.06.22 | also agreed :[ none of my early 00s krauty stuff works for the vocal requirement |
Sinternet
08.06.22 | feel that hard, im wondering if depressively deadpan could work as long as its evocative enough |
Pheromone
08.06.22 | oh man i like indietronica can i come back in |
MarsKid
08.06.22 | You are not eliminated yet, so you are still in the game! |

08.06.22 | are pavement indietronica |
JohnnyoftheWell
08.06.22 | every word is a buzzword if you have the right voltage (baby im WIRED)
steve malkmus and the electricians are my favourite indietronica bando |
MarsKid
08.06.22 | I'm curious how these records will turn out. Should be intriguing. . . . . |
bgillesp
08.06.22 | Can anyone recommend a prebuilt playlist on Spotify to search for indietronica? The two I’ve been using are very underwhelming and sound more samey than the deathcore ones I used. |
bgillesp
08.06.22 | Also can someone explain the difference between synthpop and indietronica? I just found a bunch of songs I wanted to add but theyre all synthpop according to rym and I can't tell the difference |
Storm In A Teacup
08.06.22 | Ugh. That is nauseating. |
JohnnyoftheWell
08.06.22 | bg out of curiosity could you link the ones you've been on? |

1 and 2 I thought were really boring. 3 I liked some stuff but it was all synth pop apparently |
JohnnyoftheWell
08.07.22 | TIL Running Up That Hill is indietronica
from what i skimmed, the first one is easily the most accurate to the genre. second one is vapid hipster synthpop and the third is sleek french hipster synthpop
|
JohnnyoftheWell
08.07.22 | try this one Indietronica 💘 https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2y4eSjfC4H72sdUQxXT8SA |
bgillesp
08.07.22 | Lol, I at least knew that was wrong. Thanks Johnny! I think I found a few i liked on the first but still mostly didn't like it. Then I tried the second and hated my life before moving on to the third and realizing i dont know what indietronica is. |
bgillesp
08.07.22 | Although 12 tracks into your playlist I have not gotten an RYM confirmed indietronica yet
[edit] Are you sure this is indietronica? Tarzan Boy just came on and it has Rainbow Kitten Surprise on it (I love them but they have no electronic influences) |
bgillesp
08.07.22 | Deathcore makes sense. Death metal + metalcore breakdowns = deathcore.
Indie noises + electronic music = synthpop but not indietronica? |
Mort.
08.07.22 | indietronica is a dumb useless genre
i will not and cannot elaborate |

08.07.22 | I did not think this would be harder for folks than deathcore, but here we are. |

08.07.22 | its more that its a vague umbrella term similar to edm where theres an underying concept behind it but no clear boundary as to what it is/isnt

Mort.
08.08.22 | ha i was talking with my friends about whether crystal castles counted the other day.
deffo have some tracks that stray between the lines. great band. difficult to listen to these days knowing what was going on behind the scenes |
Shemson
08.08.22 | Lol I think in general they don’t count but if they’re borderline and then add in Robert Smith for a song I think the line is crossed :)
It’s a band I don’t shout about my love for because of all the rumours and such but they have so many great songs, I really like their stuff |

Storm In A Teacup
08.08.22 | This will be the round I drop out if I end up dropping out early. Not much good going on in personal life. Would need a few hours to get songs finished recorded and uploaded and I don’t think there’s time, and I’m not going to listen to indietronica while I work lol |
SteakByrnes
08.08.22 | just do what phero did last round |
Storm In A Teacup
08.08.22 | I could but I don’t want to. |
SteakByrnes
08.08.22 | Man this LCD Soundsystem album rules lol, this round in particular gave me a bunch of good albums to check |
MarsKid
08.08.22 | I can do what I can to accommodate for anyone that is having real life difficulties/responsibilities. While this is meant to be fun, it should never be a priority or a hindrance on life. Much love < 3 |
MarsKid
08.08.22 | Also, I will only consider submissions complete for this round when their coverart is ready. |
JohnnyoftheWell
08.08.22 | woa Warning Bell weird pick :O probably the only song i could live without from the whole of Highvision, but that's not saying much bc that's probably the greatest indietronica album ever made *HINT* |
SteakByrnes
08.08.22 | Warning Bell felt like the track that fit the most for me! was gonna go closer route but it wasn't fitting ╰(‵□′)╯ |
Shemson
08.08.22 | Man The Postal Service’s one album is getting snapped up quick lol, glad I jumped in early
I tried that LCD album Sound Of Silver and thought it was awful, definitely not my taste at all. I checked a Sweet Trip album and that was really nice though, just didn’t really fit the vibe the rest of my songs have. |
JohnnyoftheWell
08.08.22 | i played with the Highvision closer a bit, first two minutes are basically perfection for these criteria but yh, really hard to get it to work in a different flow :[
Sound of Silver is v hit or miss for me (huge hits though), debut is probably a better bet for straight bangers |
Sinternet
08.08.22 | ok cool gonna add cover later but this is the playlist
1. Caribou - Odessa
2. MGMT - Time to Pretend

Sinternet
08.08.22 | re: crystal castles i'd say debut def counts but anything past that is a massive stretch |
Mort.
08.08.22 | yuh but i dont think theres a good enough vocal performance on that first album to include it
alice just shouts a lot or sounds bored |
JohnnyoftheWell
08.08.22 | Savage but fair
XXZZCUZ me does have the lyrics and performance of a generation though
also Steak i think Phero already dibsed Someone Great |
Mort.
08.08.22 | '8. passion pit - sleepyhead
9. the yeah yeah yeah - heads will roll
10. everything everything - get to heaven'
just added these to my playlist (just posting so noone accidentaly tries to add any of them). will make an actual link and submit album art soon. |
Mort.
08.08.22 | yeah but 'xxzzcuz me' is barely indietronica imo
and i also sorta find it obnoxious these days, used to love it tho |
SteakByrnes
08.08.22 | "also Steak i think Phero already dibsed Someone Great"
well this throws it ALL off wack GOSH |
Shemson
08.08.22 | I’d agree with that for Crystal Castles, only really the first album and even then not all of it but the radio version of Not In Love I picked with Robert Smith definitely works |
Shemson
08.08.22 | Really Robert Smith should be allowed wherever he was since he destroyed Mecha-Barbara |
MarsKid
08.08.22 | I've got two locked in thus far. |
Shemson
08.08.22 | Nice album art Sint - anyone else see an evil face in the middle of it? |

08.08.22 | fuck yeah steak, that song is mine and mine to play with
might change notwist song
mars how u feeling these days buddy, a longing melancholic sadness, or a blissful zen |
MarsKid
08.08.22 | The actual answer: I'm struggling with lack of motivation and occasional depression, alongside doubts regarding my overall mental and physical health, which has consequently contributed to long nights of quiet contemplation of deep things. Also Titans to the Superbowl.
The answer you get: I'm just peachy my dude. |
Pheromone
08.08.22 | ok cool i am dibbing the song CONSEQUENCE by THE NOTWIST also will add to above listen for comprehension
i feel that though dude, big day of stress today, big hugs all around sput friends. spurs to win the premier league |

MarsKid
08.11.22 | Diva, this will ideally be something that is reoccurring throughout the year! So when one ends, a new one starts. I don't think I'll always be able to host myself though, and it might be more of a rotation kind of thing. |

^ as you can see the dimension of this album art is off-kilter, it is an artistic decision |
Mort.
08.13.22 | we have both ended our playlist with pinback phero |
MarsKid
08.13.22 | I think that's everyone
Gonna start editing and then listening! |
Uzumaki
08.13.22 | Mars, save mine for last and I’ll provide a replacement for Notwist |
MarsKid
08.13.22 | Understood! |
MarsKid
08.13.22 | This round might be slightly delayed. I have some reviews to finish and want those out first. Had one in the works for a band that ended up having an abuser as a frotnman soooo that got deleted. . . . . Aronious likely the next stop, with a surprise second review. |
Mort.
08.13.22 | name and shame the band pls |
Uzumaki
08.13.22 | You can take that little blurb in parentheses off the Spinvis track; was just trying to help you out so you didn’t have to be all “WTF???” for which album it was from |
Uzumaki
08.13.22 | Mort, jump in pizza’s discord |
Mort.
08.13.22 | fuck no im not going on discord |
Storm In A Teacup
08.13.22 | Mort. |
JohnnyoftheWell
08.13.22 | i am the pocky boy |
Shemson
08.13.22 | We are the cheeky girls? |
Storm In A Teacup
08.13.22 | Coo coo kachoo |
rockarollacola
08.13.22 | Holy shit, did Storm really include a song from Angelic 2 the Core? That's fucking incredible |
Storm In A Teacup
08.13.22 | No I didn't. They are all my own original songs. Mars is comparing me to Angelic 2 The Core. |
Storm In A Teacup
08.13.22 | Or letting me know his expectations 🤣🤣🤣 |
rockarollacola
08.13.22 | If you're even HALF the musician that Feldman is, you're gonna absolutely SWEEP THE FLOOR with us this round. |
Shemson
08.13.22 | Storm mate, I’m absolutely fascinated by your album.
These are all originals that you've written which can be considered indietronica?
I might have to check this next week when I’ve got some time |
Storm In A Teacup
08.13.22 | Yes lol except I didn't write the lyrics to track 4. |
Uzumaki
08.13.22 | Okay Mars, here’s the updated link to my playlist:
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBaS8ZeoZ_XC_G4-IpJJYD4heOI6aPiYW
The artist/track is: Friendly Fires - Skeleton Boy, and it should come right after the Broadcast track. Thanks!!! |
MarsKid
08.15.22 | Caught up on my reviewing! I will be hitting the ground running with listening. Likely upload date will be Thursday night. Any sooner than that and I'll let y'all know.
Next round will be the last chance to avoid elimination! And the chosen genre is... evil... |
Shemson
08.15.22 | I hope evil means something like black metal but I fear it’s going to be evil as in K Pop or something 🤣 |
Uzumaki
08.15.22 | Nah Shemson, deathcore round 2. |
Shemson
08.15.22 | Lol, as much as I admire Mars’ integrity in this competition, if deathcore came up again he’ll be re-spinning that wheel 🤣 |
MarsKid
08.15.22 | K-Pop would at least be silly fun. . . . . |
Pheromone
08.15.22 | chiptune when |
Pangea
08.15.22 | it's going to be djent isn't it? |
bgillesp
08.15.22 | Lol, that’s a finals worthy task |
Mort.
08.15.22 | crunk pls |
MarsKid
08.15.22 | Noise, except the only noise can be either from trains or metros. . . . . |
Shemson
08.15.22 | Lol Johnny, britpop with no UK bands sounds good |
rockarollacola
08.15.22 | Just throw me a fucking bone and give me power metal. I really need points |
MarsKid
08.15.22 | We must all suffer. . . . . |
Shemson
08.15.22 | Now I’m thinking it’s gonna be something like country music lol |
Uzumaki
08.15.22 | Eewwwwww… |
SlothcoreSam
08.15.22 | Grindcore, Gorenoise or Goregrind, with the special rule, songs your grandmother would love. |
Uzumaki
08.15.22 | “Grindcore, Gorenoise or Goregrind, with the special rule, songs your grandmother would love.”
And it’s gotta have a hentai cover that your grandma would love. |
bgillesp
08.15.22 | Field recordings when? |
Pheromone
08.16.22 | not enough owl city here guys |
Mort.
08.16.22 | if ten mihliion fireuhflieees
|
Pheromone
08.16.22 | can i change my playlist to the 2009 owl city album ocean eyes |
MarsKid
08.16.22 | I'm learning now that indietronica was a poor choice for a vocal-centric theme.
This is what I get for using Paper Route as a baseline. . . . . |
Mort.
08.16.22 | yeah no shit man
indietronica, especially in the mid 2000s, was cool and distant, ironic 'i dont care about that' vibes. loads of the vocalists were barely trying |
MarsKid
08.16.22 | Oh well, makes for a challenge lol. |
bgillesp
08.16.22 | Indietronica was a poor choice regardless of the theme… |
Mort.
08.16.22 | indeed it does make for a challenge. i actually quite enjoyed finding songs that fit into the indie/electronic spectrum with fun/cool vocals
hope u r enjoying the albums btw |
MarsKid
08.16.22 | Absence is a banger album tho |
MarsKid
08.16.22 | Albums are all good, but the scores will reflect the vocals more than the vibe. If vibe was the main goal, scores would be higher. |
bgillesp
08.16.22 | Is it going up today? Didn’t realize you were far into listening |
Shemson
08.16.22 | Yeah the vocals part was tough! I tended to have moments rather than entire powerhouse performances. Like The Strokes’ track has a beautiful falsetto ending where he really nails it but the rest of the song is his normal devil-may-care vibe |
MarsKid
08.16.22 | I am 8/14 through. Thursday is likely the safe time for when results go up though. I got a date Wednesday. |
bgillesp
08.16.22 | Ooh, have fun Mars |
MarsKid
08.16.22 | Thanks, bg :^) |
Shemson
08.16.22 | Hope you have fun Mars and Steak 🤞🏻❤️ |
MarsKid
08.16.22 | haha jk
unless. . . . . |
Shemson
08.16.22 | We are the cheeky girls? |
Pheromone
08.16.22 | Mars will end the age old question: is James Murphy a good singer |
MarsKid
08.16.22 | I misread that as James Mercer and almost started throwing hands |
Shemson
08.16.22 | Misread it as James Hetfield and started throwing tables
Sorry Johnny |
SlothcoreSam
08.16.22 | Did Slex delete his account?
His reviews and ratings have gone! 😭 |
Mort.
08.16.22 | yeah he asked for a total wipe in the mods thread |
SlothcoreSam
08.16.22 | Well that sux, he was my hype man!
I hope he's OK. |
MarsKid
08.17.22 | Might be getting delayed further. Short-staffed at work and we're getting slammed. Sorry if it's up later than expected. |
MarsKid
08.18.22 | OK the optimistic goal is that I can get the round pushed out tonight. Friday at the absolute latest.
This was a mid kind of round, but some people have suddenly claimed the top spots. . . . . |
Mort.
08.18.22 | 'mid'
touch grass zoomer cos youre not keeping it 100 right now, no cap u sussy baka |
SlothcoreSam
08.18.22 | No rush Mars, you can't add or edit lists atm. |
MarsKid
08.18.22 | Oh, is that still an issue? I had assumed it would be fixed by now. |
MarsKid
08.18.22 | Well if it persists, I'll go ahead and prep the round after the next, which will be the start of Phase II. It will be quite different from this phase, so anyone that survives better be ready for shenanigans.
And if lists are still not able to be updated, I'll find some other way to post the rounds. |
bgillesp
08.18.22 | Oh that explains why no new lists in 4 days! I was literally just wondering about that |
MarsKid
08.18.22 | Bless the mx |
rockarollacola
08.18.22 | The fuck is up with not being able to add or edit lists? It's been like that for a few days now. |
bgillesp
08.18.22 | Is is shut down while he tries to add new genre tags? Give us what you know Johnny |
Shemson
08.18.22 | I’m going to assume that stands for Ancient Web Site issue |
Mort.
08.18.22 | amazon web services
fuckers have their fingers in all the pies |
Mort.
08.18.22 | not a single pie left unfingered |
bgillesp
08.18.22 | I like Shemsons interpretation better |
MarsKid
08.19.22 | Next round will be ready to go tonight. If list issues continue to persists, I'll be putting it up in a Google doc over the weekend. I'll keep y'all posted. |
Mort.
08.19.22 | yeh knowing sput it could be a while |
rockarollacola
08.19.22 | I've been itchin' to see the new results. |
MarsKid
08.19.22 | Might wrap up some other writing in the interim, but will likely go the Google Doc route if that's the case. |
rockarollacola
08.19.22 | Mars, stop being such a fucking tease. |
rockarollacola
08.19.22 | I know, I'm just fucking around. |
Shemson
08.19.22 | Potentially Sputnik became sentient and killed itself
Where can you go after a list complaining that water sucks? |
Mort.
08.19.22 | Sputnik runs on a generator tied up to a hand crank and a peasant child |
Mort.
08.19.22 | crank that morty boy |
Shemson
08.19.22 | Have you considered supermanning that bish? |
Mort.
08.19.22 | i contemplated such an action and found it beneath me |
rockarollacola
08.19.22 | Where can you go after a list complaining that water sucks?
[2] |
Mort.
08.19.22 | mars my impatience grows |
SlothcoreSam
08.20.22 | Not long now boys!
Let's gooooo Google docs |
Mort.
08.20.22 | not long now? or u lying? |
SlothcoreSam
08.20.22 | It's almost the weekend. Mars said he'd put the Googlydoc up. |
MarsKid
08.20.22 | It will happen this weekend y'all. I used the interim to work on other reviews and projects. Don't get yer knickers in a twist. |
Mort.
08.20.22 | my knickers are so twisted up
|
Uzumaki
08.20.22 | I’d rather wait for a list instead of Googledocs |
Mort.
08.20.22 | uzumaki i love you but please shut the fuck up
mars make a google docs and then transplant it into a list when you can |
MarsKid
08.20.22 | Hot |
MarsKid
08.20.22 | Likely going up tomorrow lads |
Uzumaki
08.20.22 | @mort luv u 2 bby |
SlothcoreSam
08.20.22 | Lists are back baby! |
Divaman
08.20.22 | Not yet. You still can't edit them. |
SlothcoreSam
08.20.22 | He kinda stutters when he's being the scatman.
|
rockarollacola
08.20.22 | MARS. WAKE THE FUCK UP. I NEED THE RESULTS. I CANT SLEEP AT NIGHT. PLEASE. |
rockarollacola
08.20.22 | Your big throbbing list |
Shemson
08.20.22 | As much as I want the results and the new round, I also kind of want Mars to just put up a ‘List is Digs’ list just for the collective outrage. |
Pheromone
08.20.22 | who is jamming the wrens |
Mort.
08.20.22 | only sadboys |
Mort.
08.20.22 | being sober sucks because now i have to be bored and it makes me impatient and care about things like this game and goddamit mars wake uuuuuuup |
Mort.
08.20.22 | yeah but you only care because youre winning, i care because of my love of the game
|
Mort.
08.20.22 | also i hope you feel better soon |
Mort.
08.20.22 | something something something something something something shame |
MarsKid
08.20.22 | I'll try to post this, but because of the editing issue, I'm getting it ready on a doc first before putting up a list. |
Uzumaki
08.20.22 | Command C, command V |
MarsKid
08.20.22 | This round is gonna have some interesting point results. . . . .
|
Mort.
08.20.22 | well stop posting about it and start posting it!! |
MarsKid
08.20.22 | No, I enjoy leaving you all in antici- |
bgillesp
08.20.22 | The only interesting point results I’m interested in are Johnny somehow getting last for the round. Literally anything else could be expected at this point |
Uzumaki
08.20.22 | [2] |
MarsKid
08.20.22 | Careful what you wish for
