anarchistfish

Sinternet
06.05.23 | def need a round at some point where the goal is to find the worst song ever in a nice reverse twist |
Conmaniac
06.05.23 | im hype for the playlist but also nervous |
MiloRuggles
06.06.23 | Whoops hey another thread. I joined, my name is Berrick. |
MoM
06.06.23 | Mi-lo Ruggles. I’d never guess! |
fogza
06.06.23 | The mystery is solved the seasons have returned to natural law |
Pheromone
06.06.23 | Milo u have 9 HOURS
i was wondering who berrick was |
Pheromone
06.06.23 | deez do you mean that you love the first theme
oh wrong list |
Pangea
06.06.23 | i am really excited for this! really curious what you have submitted here |
Tundra
06.06.23 | Berrick is trolling us |
MiloRuggles
06.06.23 | Woah MoMma! Berrick is shuffling through literally all of his music to find something that reeks of any particular user |
MiloRuggles
06.06.23 | Submitted. We are live. ohshi |
Mort.
06.06.23 | maybe post a link in this thread phero, you braindead fuckwit? |
Pheromone
06.06.23 | why would i do that we have 21 people AND anyone from og list who signed up and hasn't yet joined can shoutbox me b4 1800 p m
mort u have a real attitude rn |
Pheromone
06.06.23 | Attached the playlist here so people can see what's going on! Excited to listen.
Opeth - Demon of the fall
wonder what user this reminds the submitter of |
normaloctagon
06.06.23 | read this as slipknot music league and got real excited now i think i'll have an apple to deal with these feelings
carry on |
Pangea
06.06.23 | hype! |
Shemson
06.06.23 | Lol I wanted some new things to listen to and I think I’ve genuinely never heard of about 15/22 artists :D |
Pheromone
06.06.23 | agreed shems
as a whole i enjoyed pre much most of some of playlist i am surprised and elated |
Mort.
06.06.23 | so im supposed to dole out points based on goodness of songs? |
Pheromone
06.06.23 | yeah and then as a side think as to whether 10 points is too few
thank u for taking part
now kiss me
|
Mort.
06.06.23 | i was thinking 10 points is too few actually |
Pheromone
06.06.23 | at the end of the round I can increase the points if the consensus is such
now hug me |
SlothcoreSam
06.06.23 | I like the old thread better than the new thread |
Pheromone
06.07.23 | ur a real piece of work |
Deez
06.07.23 | How do we vote?
ah got it |
MiloRuggles
06.07.23 | How long do we have to vote for each round? |
ramon.
06.07.23 | idk what this is but im tempted to boycott it due to the lack of sputnik music user SteakByrnes being announced as the winner right off the bat |
fogza
06.07.23 | I would like to say phero is doing a stellar job and this thread is very clean and has nice sightlines |
Feather
06.07.23 | Damn I missed the first round I guess. If someone could DM me though how to join, it would be much appreciated |
Sinternet
06.07.23 | how long do we have to listen to the playlist? not free til saturday so was hoping to dive in at the weekend |
MiloRuggles
06.07.23 | Looks like votes are due 16/6 at 1100 hours. Not sure which timezone. Seems it's a week for each playlist |
Feather
06.07.23 | cant wait for next week :-) |
Sinternet
06.08.23 | sick ok excited to jam |
Deez
06.08.23 | Would it not be better to have to give out your 10 points as a 4,3,2,1? Otherwise you might not like anything and just throw a 10 on something? |
Sinternet
06.08.23 | i quite like the idea of splitting points how you want. because if i have two that i think are equally second place i could do 4,2,2,1,1 etc. |
Deez
06.08.23 | yeah cool |
Shemson
06.08.23 | Just started my journey with this playlist and it already feels like it too will be a journey :D
No idea what this German lad is on about but it’s funky as hell |
Shemson
06.08.23 | Followed by what I think is a funky French lad 🤣
I’m sure someone will set me straight if I’m wrong on these nationalities
The first song being called Belgie makes me think it’s someone singing about Poirot |
Shemson
06.08.23 | 10 years ago sputcore would’ve ensured Sowing was on this list lol |
Shemson
06.08.23 | Man, old Opeth was so much better than their prog shit
Haven’t jammed them for years as I was so put off by Heritage onwards |
Demon of the Fall
06.08.23 | any chance I can listen in (if I want) without being part of this? Or is that no good
didn't know if I could commit to actually rating everything etc. but having minor regrets now |
Shemson
06.08.23 | Seems wrong not to when I’m listening to your namesake song!
https://open.spotify.com/track/1bXeMKSnbQbXEhHV5Xdjym?si=m-PVvRKzTE6N1IwbEhoIvA
I’m having the best train ride ever with this crazy eclectic mix
Think I’m a fan of Menomena now |
MiloRuggles
06.08.23 | Listen to their track heavy is as heavy does, really good melodrama core |
Shemson
06.08.23 | Nice one Milo, I’m gonna check them out next time I’m ready for a new album, what’s the best album to start? |
gschwen
06.08.23 | I think 10 points is fine, and possibly too many points. |
Shemson
06.08.23 | I think as long as everyone has the same amount of points it is what it is
I’m going through and adding one point to everything I like and then I’m gonna bump up points for the best ones at the end
Nice that you can’t vote for your own song too… not that I’d ever do that |
Shemson
06.08.23 | Judging by the small amount of listens is Despicable someone on here?
It’s not really my thing but it’s good! |
gschwen
06.08.23 | it would be hard to police, but ideally people would vote for music they've not heard before and liked. i thought "thriller" and "beds are burning" being on the list were songs i wondered if i should vote for... they're good but really don't add anything to the spirit of the game
i don't need to listen to thriller. |
Shemson
06.08.23 | I think Thriller is the meme vote, I’ll be honest it’s the only track I’ve skipped and I’m voting like you said gschwen, something I’ve never heard before or haven’t heard for years is gonna get my attention a lot more |
anat
06.08.23 | can the votes be pre-weighted? don’t wanna open up 10 point memery, so like 4,3,2,1? |
anat
06.08.23 | I now see this has already been addressed |
Muppelope
06.08.23 | Are we voting based purely on which songs we enjoyed, or are we also taking into consideration the category itself? In this case being "reminds you of another sput user", some songs I find more enjoyable if I know who the song reminds the submitter of, or if they have written a blurb about who it reminds them of and why.
I think some categories don't really need this, ie "songs under 2 minutes", but some categories, like this one, I think, are better when considering why a certain track was chosen. |
Demon of the Fall
06.08.23 | 'Seems wrong not to when I’m listening to your namesake song!'
oh yeah, interesting... just seeing DotF, Fear Before and Stereolab all on the same playlist is crazy cool
|
Vercetti
06.08.23 | @Shemson:
Despicable is Gonzo's band
Het Goede Doel is Dutch, not German (very similar language) |
anat
06.08.23 | to your point muppelope you can supply an explanatory comment when submitting your track but opt to hide it until after the votes come in, so could be wiser to ensure that option is removed or not selected |
Shemson
06.08.23 | Thanks Vercetti on both points, good to know |
Pheromone
06.08.23 | yeah the playlist eclecticism made for a super fun walk
gonna listen a couple more times to work out how to spread these goddam 10 points
> or are we also taking into consideration the category itself?
for this one im just taking into account the songs - i kind of trust that every song on here reminds the submitter of a sput user. but if the theme is "songs to murder to" you bet ur ass im also voting on the murderability of that particular song
i put a limit on points distribution at like 6 points, other than that you can submit points however you will
i thought about increasing but i see here (and on the app) that most seem to be happy with ten points? food for thought
demon ily |
Deez
06.08.23 | Yeah 10s fine as long as you can't just throw a 10 and fk everything else off |
MiloRuggles
06.08.23 | !!! That Feu! Chatterton song !!! |
Pangea
06.12.23 | i am waiting for my train and listening to this. love the feu chatterton lad going insane midway through |
Pangea
06.12.23 | oh no i like very strongly dislike those menomana vocals |
Pangea
06.12.23 | i didnt recognise the midnight oil song until the chorus but man is it an absolute banger |
Pangea
06.12.23 | stereolab is a great ass shaker |
fogza
06.12.23 | Nice pan good to see some MO love |
Mort.
06.12.23 | oh shit i completely forgot about this |
BitterJalapenoJr
06.12.23 | Also - better get my shit together and listen |
PitchforkArms
06.12.23 | Thought I was slacking hard af but looked at the league and there is still like 15 of us who need to get on the ball... |
Pheromone
06.14.23 | guys we must all SUBMIT
by FRIDAY come on COME on COME ON |
fogza
06.14.23 | I've locked in my votes but I am scared to submit also I have not written comments for all the songs eek |
Muppelope
06.14.23 | Oh I didn't write comments for any of the songs. Were we meant to? I mean, I know it's an option but I didn't know how many people were gonna use it. |
Mort.
06.14.23 | i will vote soon |
Mort.
06.14.23 | instrumentation is good on that despicable track not sure if i like the rapping tho |
Pangea
06.14.23 | i am going to write comments, but it is not mandatory
i have heard them all, but i am taking a bit of time writing comments and making my mind up for the votes |
fogza
06.14.23 | yeah comments are not mandatory i just like to express myself via the medium of lists of songs to be heard in a specific time period |
Koris
06.14.23 | I'll vote today when I get off work :] |
Koris
06.14.23 | Wait, are we still on round 1? If so, I already voted... |
Conmaniac
06.14.23 | Where is everyone?? |
fogza
06.15.23 | I am here! |
Sinternet
06.15.23 | finishing off my votes on my commute this morning, wanted to add a comment on each song so took a little longer |
MiloRuggles
06.15.23 | will do it uh before the deadline! unless i can smash 10 points at Fau! Chatterton of course |
fogza
06.15.23 | u are capped ruggles there will be no points dumping here phero is too savvy for your tactics |
fogza
06.15.23 | unless you drop 6 points on one song and 4 on another song i guess ignore my previous comment |
fogza
06.15.23 | Koris, btw I don't think you submitted your votes, even if you did assign scores |
gschwen
06.15.23 | General comment about the game: I think the idea of assigning multiple points to songs is dumb. Pick the ones you like and thumbs up. The idea someone could win a week because one person gave one song 10 votes seems flawed. |
Pheromone
06.15.23 | i set the vote limit at like 6 however i sort of agree
that's why i was maybe considering upping the votes coz you get more votes to assign
i shall vote soon i have listened a few tikmes now i am knowledgeable |
fogza
06.15.23 | tbf you can only assign a capped amount of points out of the points you have, but yeah, there is weighting. The other option is capping it at one vote, and giving points based on a third of the available songs (7 votes if there are 21 songs). so essentially you're picking your top third. I like being able to express that i like a song more than another song though personally |
anat
06.15.23 | I still think 4-3-2-1 is the best way to go if we’re sticking to 10 votes, or I guess 3-2-2-2-1 if we want broader coverage |
Pangea
06.15.23 | i forgot to add my comments to two tracks and i don't think i can add it them in, so here they are:
Against Me - True Trans Soul Rebel: Great great jam. Main guitar riff is a lot of fun and the chorus is great
The Chats - AC/DC CD: It's okay i suppose. Feels kinda generic punk to me. Better as AC/DC for sure though
|
Pangea
06.15.23 | i have done 3-3-2-1-1 but it will depend on each round
Don't think i ever want to do more than 4 votes for one track though |
fogza
06.15.23 | i did 4-2-2-2 so obs that's the best way |
Pangea
06.15.23 | shoutboxed some ppl in hope for some late minute votes 😊 |
Pheromone
06.15.23 | woo pang u legend
i was feeling a 3 3 2 1 1 also so pang is my overlord |
BitterJalapenoJr
06.15.23 | Votes now in due to Pan's due diligence. |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.15.23 | how do i join this lol |
Pheromone
06.15.23 | how do i vote My (F****) Deer Hunter as I was going to submit that myself (but it was taken)
do i give it the highest votes or do i bitterly give the person zero |
Pangea
06.15.23 | give that song 0 because it is not all that
(sorry but not sorry) |
Pheromone
06.15.23 | now i have voted i can shame koris, milo and drifter into getting a fuckin move on |
gschwen
06.15.23 | Some people weren't cut out for prime time |
Koris
06.15.23 | I mean, did my entry just get deleted or something? I definitely had one there, lol |
Koris
06.15.23 | My entry does say "submitted by you", but I can't click on it to see what's wrong. Idk, I might just want to step away from the tournament. It doesn't seem like I can get this thing to work, for whatever reason
Just checked, and my submission (the Against Me one) is on the Spotify playlist |
Pangea
06.15.23 | yeah your submission is there! did you vote though? Because those haven't gotten through in any case |
Sinternet
06.15.23 | i think yours might have been saved but not submitted? if not i guess try logging out and back in again and redownloading the app |
gschwen
06.15.23 | @Koris You have to vote, not just submit songs |
Koris
06.15.23 | Alright, looks like everything went through now. Good to go |
Pangea
06.15.23 | oh awesome! now just hoping that milo and drifer can reach the deadline 😊 |
someone
06.15.23 | MiloRuggles, Drifter
vote you two |
Koris
06.15.23 | Just sent milo a message, hopefully he ends up participating |
MiloRuggles
06.15.23 | Wooo 3 hour window for the kid, lemme sort various real life errands then I'll hop to it.
Johnny has been left in the cold haha. There was a link, there was an app, only quick witted detectives gained entry |
Shemson
06.15.23 | Lol Johnny I assumed you were in this!
My song was submitted as it was a band you recced me that I loved |
Pheromone
06.15.23 | it's fine guys johnny is in he just was naughty for the first round
let us shame him and welcome him
and mostly shame him |
Mort.
06.15.23 | phero you were gonna submit my song i submitted for you for me?
we r so in sync xxxxx |
Pheromone
06.15.23 | aw mort i hoped that was u for that reason we r SO cute i love u
except u got there first and now u have way more points than me so i hate you |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.15.23 | ª[~֦ music league is good |
Deez
06.15.23 | STOP SPOILING IT |
MiloRuggles
06.15.23 | BUZZER BEATER BAYBEE |
Conmaniac
06.16.23 | "Think I’m a fan of Menomena now"
heck ya : D |
someone
06.16.23 | Always a good thing to be a Menomena fan |
Pheromone
06.16.23 | LIST EDITED FIRST WEEK RANKINGS UP : OOOOOO
how did u do? did u do how u expected? did u do worse than u expected? did mort steal your song and succeed doing so?
and on a more admin level, any ideas for changes that can be made? (on the list also) |
dedex
06.16.23 | 🥰 |
Pheromone
06.16.23 | sorry dedex i accidently cut off the second half of anat's comment
it was IT REMINDS ME OF DEDEX WHOM I HATE VERY MUCH |
Mort.
06.16.23 | i stole your song? its my song, its my jam, i love you, cry more favourite user |
gschwen
06.16.23 | When I checked like two days ago I had one vote, but at the buzzer I finished middle of the pack. I submitted the Blue Nile track which I sort of expected to do better but I don't really know my audience at all. TBH, I'm hoping just to spread awareness of some music I like that doesn't get much attention and not trying to win as much. |
Pangea
06.16.23 | Guys i made a PCA analysis of this round because i am a huge nerd https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1113852500072747038/1119274228252950608/plot_zoom_png.png
For the uninitiated, PCA is a multivariate analysis that aims to explain the variance that exists in a dataset. By doing so, it creates datapoints that can be plotted on a 2D space. Essentially things that are close in the plot are more similar to each other as things that are a far away from each other (so users close to each other will have generally a more similar voting pattern, users close to a songname are more likely have voted for it and songs close to each other are more likely to have similar set of users voting for it)
Do note that this analysis was a bit weak. These two axes explained about 26% of the variation that exists in the data. This means that there is quite a bit of uncertainty here (Which you can see in a few examples: Someone is next to beds are burning even though he did not vote for it, AC/DC CD & Ecran are close even though the voting pattern is not all that similar). But it can show some rough patterns in our voting |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.16.23 | 2 is a worthy winner well done gang um |
Vercetti
06.16.23 | The analysis thing is interesting. Haven't heard of that before. But why am I so far away from everyone else? xD |
Pheromone
06.16.23 | lol johnny ur last |
Pangea
06.16.23 | "But why am I so far away from everyone else?"
it means that, according to the analysis, that your voting pattern was relatively distinct from other users. I think in this case you probably were isolated because you were the only one to vote for the city |
Koris
06.16.23 | Nice, I'm quite satisfied with the results here |
MiloRuggles
06.16.23 | Yes I'm happy to concede first place for 2 on the basis of a real lack of creativity on my part (although Narayan fucks hard) |
Tundra
06.17.23 | thought surely the horrible overrated Portal would be high on here, better luck next time |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.17.23 | Guys what are some good songs from 2023 um asking for a friend lol |
Sinternet
06.17.23 | you could chuck in some ling tosite sigure maybe? |
Sinternet
06.17.23 | or bewilder half the league with gezan |
anat
06.17.23 | I literally was in the process of changing my rec to gezan and got the message saying hey someone did that already |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.17.23 | sigure would definitely be a responsible way to advance the debate on whether she says MARVELOUS or FABULOUS this issue has been plaguing me all yr |
BitterJalapenoJr
06.17.23 | I've changed my choice for the upcoming round twice and might change it again.
Last week's Stereolab selection was a nod to Trif, speaking of which, where is he? Would he not normally be all over something like this? |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.17.23 | Super Electric failing to secure a top 3 placement has me gravely worried for the future of this jolly collaboration may things only go upwards woo |
BitterJalapenoJr
06.17.23 | You're partially to blame Johnny, if you had made it in time for round one, I'm sure you'd have slapped a big, voluptuous 3 on that badboy :-) |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.17.23 | i would realistically have split points evenly between that and Narayan lol, so to some extent you did just fine without me |
BitterJalapenoJr
06.17.23 | Yes - I naturally gave Narayan top marks |
Pheromone
06.18.23 | i have changed mine i have i have |
Shemson
06.18.23 | Johnny check Sleep Token |
Shemson
06.19.23 | Round 2 looking just as eclectic as the first! |
Pheromone
06.19.23 | Damn this will be a good means of me finding albums to check
|
Shemson
06.19.23 | I was really hoping to discover some great music from 2023 from this playlist but either 2023 kinda sucks or I was not in the right mood to hear that playlist |
MoM
06.19.23 | Daaaayumn |
Vercetti
06.20.23 | I'm sorry to hear that, Shemson. I've been enjoying the playlist and thought it's a good mix with something for everyone |
Pangea
06.20.23 | I didn't really care much for about half of it on my first listen, but i def think there is a good selection of great songs there still |
MoM
06.20.23 | I like my pick the best still 👀 |
anat
06.20.23 | to be fair I didn’t pick something wholly representative of my listening year, my choice picks would be a bit too identifying and I think this set up works best when we retain some anonymity - my rec this round is more something I like well enough to share |
Shemson
06.20.23 | I liked it a bit more on second listen this morning tbf but there weren’t any songs that made me think ‘oh my god why have I never listened to X before’ and yeah same I still like my pick the best obviously 🤣 |
Conmaniac
06.20.23 | i feel like i like this playlist better than last tbh....i rly enjoy like 8-10 songs ngl |
gschwen
06.20.23 | Just because I didn't appropriately comment on it in the game:
re: narayan - soundtrack to a summer in 1997. one thing that i remember about Fat of the Land was that Firestarter was a gigantic single that had come out over a year before the album; it was doing absolute numbers on MTV and VH1 at the time. BUT it always bothered me that I couldn't buy Firestarter on an album. I recorded the music video on VHS so I could actually listen to it because I didn't know where to find it (keep in mind-- I'm 13 years old during this time). "Breathe" hit the airwaves and it was just ... huge. Fat of the Land is a monstrous album. |
Shemson
06.20.23 | I was a bit too young too appreciate it but was about 8 when Firestarter came out and yeah it was everywhere in the UK, even on the news with concerned parents and the usual bbc crap from that time 🤣
Can’t be overstated how much of a shock to the mainstream that album was |
Shemson
06.20.23 | I wonder if everything will get at least one vote again this round
Only 5 of 22 have voted so far and there are only 3 voteless songs so far! |
Pangea
06.22.23 | both rounds i had a 6th place that i feel bad for not having any points left for and this time it's the yune pinku song. Really fun stuff |
Shemson
06.22.23 | I gave that one a vote, never heard of them but fun stuff! |
fogza
06.22.23 | i think i'm going spread my votes more thinly this time because it's the right thing to do |
Vercetti
06.22.23 | I picked 7 seven songs to vote on this time (3-2-1-1-1-1-1). I also enjoyed the Yune Pinku song (got 1 point from me)! |
Pangea
06.22.23 | I did 3-2-2-1-1-1 which means i voted for 6 songs and yune was actually #7
I am a dumb person and i cannot count |
fogza
06.22.23 | You are a science guy, mysterious traveller and cycling master, one mistake does not define you |
Deez
06.22.23 | I did a microdot of acid n a club when firestarter came out and watched the whole room jumping to it just as I came up, was mad. that's always my first thought about the prodigy
Can't stand the prodigy tho. First couple where good but not aged to well. Always hated FOTL.
|
Pheromone
06.23.23 | friends friends friends vote vote vote
it was suggested on the music league chat (on app) that we speed up the rounds to ten days instead of two weeks. i think this is probably a good idea BUT understand that some people may be busy busy bees
what do you think ?! |
Mort.
06.23.23 | im happy with two weeks |
fogza
06.23.23 | i'm ok with 2/7 (2 days to pick song, 7 days to listen) BUT:
if even a few people want to stick to the current pace (see mort. above) I think we should just keep it the way it is. i want people to play and participate, i think so far everyone is bringing it, we're getting diverse lists and voting. |
Pheromone
06.23.23 | yeah i think two weeks is fine also
ok cool we keep we stay it's a nice chill pace |
MoM
06.23.23 | Agreed. It’d be better if we had everyone on board for any changes |
anat
06.23.23 | yeah I prefer to carve out dedicated time to go through the whole playlist rather than in chunks which is easier to do with two weeks |
gschwen
06.23.23 | we'll find out soon, but shoutout to whoever recc'd moshimoshi and boogsmear. liking these records |
BitterJalapenoJr
06.23.23 | Agreed on moshimoshi - need to try the album in full.
Boogsmear was mine - glad you liked it. I've had several draft reviews done since January and scrapped them. Finding it impossible to summarise. Perhaps I'll take another stab this weekend. |
MiloRuggles
06.23.23 | Very keen to stick with two weeks. Don't want this to be a chore |
Deez
06.23.23 | You can't say which track is yours before voting is finished should be a rule. You might get friends throwing you stray points. |
BitterJalapenoJr
06.23.23 | Apologies Deez, won't happen again although I doubt there will any allegiances made to my humble self. |
MoM
06.23.23 | I won’t give any friend points! Songs only! |
Koris
06.23.23 | Just voted. I wasn't gonna be last this time around 😂 |
Conmaniac
06.26.23 | 3 ppl left to vote but plenty of time tbh !
overall pleased with this playlist been coming back to many of these : ) gj peeps |
Deez
06.27.23 | Pheros one of them! disgraceful if you ask me |
Pheromone
06.27.23 | Lmaooooo
I'm sorry - I've listened through twice but I'm a busy diss boy I will have my votes in today (or tmoz) do not SHAME me |
Conmaniac
06.27.23 | no shame here ur just following ur own rules! |
Pheromone
06.27.23 | everything sounded better that listen thru
i wonder who did what |
Pheromone
06.27.23 | voted ! love that every song is consistently getting at least a few votes good job friends. not loving that my song is consistently getting few votes ; )
will add some of the suggested rounds tomorrow afternoon - everyone cool with more rounds ? ! woo hoo |
Conmaniac
06.27.23 | another milo buzzer beater ??
hype tho phero this comp turning out great : D |
Shemson
06.27.23 | Oh man do I have different taste to a lot of people in this round 🤣 |
MiloRuggles
06.27.23 | Teehee you fullaz are fast |
SlothcoreSam
06.28.23 | I thought of a good round theme.
Inappropriate songs that get stuck in your head, that you sing out aloud at the wrong times.
|
Sinternet
06.28.23 | was also gonna add an idea: songs based around a sample |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.28.23 | yes but bonus rules: no amen breaks for anyone and no electronic songs for people who usually listen to electronic |
Deez
06.28.23 | So about 10 million hip hop tracks. Cool |
Sinternet
06.28.23 | 'yes but bonus rules: no amen breaks for anyone'
good shout
'and no electronic songs for people who usually listen to electronic'
bad shout
'So about 10 million hip hop tracks. Cool'
hmm fair, samples with no hip-hop allowed then (far too easy otherwise) and super common breaks don't count towards the sample criteria |
Pheromone
06.28.23 | hehe ok good themes friends ill add some of the suggested theme in a little (after group discussion) - if there are any i missed let me know
ecstatic on the participation here
milo can u give my song all ur points |
Mort.
06.28.23 | who the fuck is berrick
get them to hurry up and vote |
Pheromone
06.28.23 | mort ill berrick ur face in a second |
fogza
06.28.23 | "im happy with two weeks" - Mort. J Hypocrite |
Mort.
06.28.23 | i am happy with two weeks
im also happy with telling berrick to hurry the fuck up
hurry the fuck up berrick |
fogza
06.28.23 | i can't argue with that logic |
MiloRuggles
06.28.23 | People...please! Stop this madness! I am simply using the allotted time to make a considered vote, bearing a standard of quality for our young and stout competition. I want nothing but the best for our baby. I will vote in 24 hours. Perhaps in 36. Maybe even 48. |
Deez
06.28.23 | Im with Mort |
PitchforkArms
06.28.23 | feeling lazy - whenever we resolve the back and forth about the rules going forward, someone let me know :) |
anat
06.28.23 | for ferrick serrick, berrick!!!! |
Pheromone
06.29.23 | so going to add some suggested themes now
re: songs based around a sample - this becomes slightly too niche if without including hip hop right ?
i like the idea, but BASED around a sample surely should include hippidy hop
what do we think ? |
anat
06.29.23 | we’re gonna end up getting hyper specific with some of these ideas
the simpler the theme the better the playlist will be
I suggest:
- title tracks (or tracks that contain the album title in its lyrics)
- tracks with a name in the title
- big big chorus |
Pheromone
06.29.23 | i LOVE big big chorus - some of the other suggestions i loved (like doesn't cut it sorry)
- Songs in a foreign language (which u do not speak)
- Great songs from albums you don't love (or quite dislike)
I like innapropriate songs sam but dam that seems difficult almost. Elaborate or hold ur peace
|
anat
06.29.23 | warped tour bands I suppose |
Pheromone
06.29.23 | i know what song i wanna submit for the next round but scared someone (not gene) will take it
milo do u mind messaging me privately before u submit ur votes ty |
MoM
06.29.23 | “ warped tour bands I suppose”
Warped Tour bands who’ve yet to have allegations, but would be the most likely ones to, based on sketchy songs/some other criterion/just existing |
Pheromone
06.29.23 | lmao |
MiloRuggles
06.29.23 | nah, there's no way i'd do that. don't check your shoutbox. |
MiloRuggles
06.29.23 | Alroight ye testy cumstains, I have voted 12 hours before I had to. None of you know me, but this is a big deal in my world. Grats anat! |
MiloRuggles
06.29.23 | Phero my g—this exists and you should listen to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x30wgUCt72k&list=PL2wXweDr-uPgsFJ2e8MO8CMGxUXLJtoj_ |
anat
06.29.23 | check out the balls on milo here saving his votes til last and retaining his grip on the standings |
Pheromone
06.29.23 | should i release the covers round? i presume so - the only issue with it is, is that it throws the timing of everything else for a loop as it doesn't automatically adjust every other round
what do u think guys team friends homies |
anat
06.29.23 | keep it as is boss |
Pheromone
06.29.23 | yessir see u guys tomorrow |
Shemson
06.29.23 | Was definitely hoping for more from my pick but I guess because everyone had already heard it it wasn’t as exciting as some of the rarer cuts like Moshimoshi and yune pinku who I both gave points to |
Deez
06.29.23 | check out the balls on milo here saving his votes til last and retaining his grip on the standings'
He could see he was in danger and so spread the 1s around. Should be banned from Sput and Society for such filthy moves |
MiloRuggles
06.29.23 | I'm a slasher, and I must be stopped. Naw dawg, I couldn't see shit. Truth is there were far less songs I loved in this playlist, although I regret not giving more points to Fentanyl Tester |
Deez
06.29.23 | Surprised that didnt win tbh |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.29.23 | Will this ever be updated I'm calling the cops bring on the covers grr |
Koris
06.29.23 | And now we only have 3 days to do the entire next round of submissions, lol |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.29.23 | "Songs in a foreign language (which u do not speak)"
This is 9/10 and the other suggestion is 7/10 lfg
Can someone link me to the Disturbed version of Land of Confusion on Spotify asking for a friend lol |
Deez
06.29.23 | where Crazy Town - New noise at? |
Conmaniac
06.30.23 | new round lets gooooo peeps im torn between two covers but im sure that if i dont choose one of them someone else will pick it hmmm |
Shemson
06.30.23 | I had a couple of obvious choices in my head I reckon some others will pick for covers but fingers crossed this more risky one pays off! |
Pheromone
06.30.23 | liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiist updated
milo retains his top spot whilst johnny retains his bottom spot lol pass it on |
Vercetti
06.30.23 | "19. Vercetto [8 Points]"
That Vercetto guy stole my place in the ranking! |
Mort.
06.30.23 | one of you fuckers have already submitted just like heaven by dino jr
fuck u |
PitchforkArms
06.30.23 | The br00tal boyz came out in support of my pick in rd. 2. Very happy to see. |
Pheromone
06.30.23 | > That Vercetto guy stole my place in the ranking!
lmao |
fogza
06.30.23 | vercetti's username makes me think of ice cream cake |
Shemson
07.02.23 | Looking forward to this on my commute tomorrow!
Don’t disappoint sputters! |
Deez
07.03.23 | Oh itz onnnnn! |
Pheromone
07.03.23 | > opens playlist
> sees david hasselhoff cover sweet caroline
oh baby it's on |
Pheromone
07.03.23 | loved that playlist honestly good job friens |
anat
07.03.23 | I have a theme idea:
- rec anything except deftones |
MoM
07.03.23 | Yes, please |
MiloRuggles
07.03.23 | Adam Sandler - Be Quiet And Drive (Far Away) |
Vercetti
07.03.23 | I'm surprised that I didn't pick a deftones song
"vercetti's username makes me think of ice cream cake"
It's actually taken from Grand Theft Auto Vice City which was my favorite video game for a while. You play as Tommy Vercetti and you can buy an ice cream factory later in the game. |
gschwen
07.03.23 | Viennetta? |
fogza
07.03.23 | precisely gschwen my wires are getting crossed with that |
Pangea
07.03.23 | Did a PCA for round 2
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1113852500072747038/1125416064973545493/plot_zoom_png.png
explained about 30% of the variation. I find some of the results in it strange, but that might be the low accuracy |
Shemson
07.03.23 | I replayed Vice City after completing it on release when they did those remasters - still so much fun! Must’ve been like a 15 year gap or something between plays too!
Also, here are some songs I almost picked for this round if anyone is interested:
Cradle of Filth - Hallowed be Thy Name
Vexes - Head Over Heels
Reel Big Fish - Take On Me
…with those that nearly made it I guarantee nobody can guess what I ended up picking |
Sinternet
07.03.23 | lol i also almost went for a take on me cover but it was the cap'n jazz version, thought that might be a bit niche for the room though
also considered that kodan armada song where halfway through they start playing carry on my wayward son but guessed it would be a bit of a push to call a straight cover |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.04.23 | Cap'n Jazz have a take On Me cover?? |
Conmaniac
07.04.23 | Yessss it’s brilliant was considering it too but didn’t for reasons similar to sint |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.04.23 | wtf lol if i don't end up voting for whatever you both picked instead, I'm calling the cops |
Pheromone
07.04.23 | that mack the knife cover is beaut so beaut |
fogza
07.04.23 | yeah i've never really been into that song but it made me look it up and appreciate |
Pheromone
07.04.23 | should i have submitted ylt little honda |
Shemson
07.04.23 | Mack the knife caught me off guard
My late grandad used to play at pubs and clubs his whole life and that song was a staple of his. Great to hear a different take on it |
Deez
07.05.23 | I like it up till the throat warbling then it annoys me , loved it at first |
someone
07.05.23 | This may have been discussed somewhere already, but where actually is Song of the Day? |
Koris
07.05.23 | ^ It's been retired/semi-retired since May. I don't think anyone was committed enough to continuing it |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.05.23 | "should i have submitted ylt little honda"
no you would have been 3'd
could have done wild is the wind though |
Pheromone
07.05.23 | or done friday im in love that version is so aw |
Pangea
07.05.23 | yeah phero proposed this as an alternative to sotd, which had a really low participation for a while so it wasn't all that sustainable anymore |
gschwen
07.05.23 | The other covers I considered:
Sikth - Tupelo (Nick Cave & Bad Seeds)
Coil - Tainted Love (Soft Cell)
Head Automatica - Pulling Mussels From a Shell (Squeeze)
The Dandy Warhols – What We All Want (Gang of Four)
Dillinger Escape Plan - Jesus Christ Pose (Soundgarden)
Drain - Good Good Things (Descendants)
Fucked Up & Halluci Nation - John Wayne Was a Nazi (MDC)
Japandroids - The Night of Wine & Roses (The Gun Club)
Kirin J. Callinan - The Whole of the Moon (The Waterboys)
Where'd the Dinosaur Jr. track go?? |
Pheromone
07.07.23 | damn i would have voted for some of them
i really truly didn't realise there was a desktop version of this app - this will now be my preferred method of things |
PitchforkArms
07.07.23 | damn ya'll, this is turning out to be way more fun than I expected |
Shemson
07.07.23 | Not only is it fun, but I want to win much more than I should care 🤣 |
Muppelope
07.07.23 | I should have submitted Lil Uzi Vert's cover of Chop Suey, damn. |
Sinternet
07.07.23 | how are yall actually voting for that horrible umbrella cover smh
weird though this was the round i was most confident so far and its looking like my worst performance yet |
Muppelope
07.07.23 | Ha, same. I wasn't super confident in my own pick though. I don't usually have any strong feelings about covers one way or another so I didn't put much thought into my submission. Some of these covers were... Not my thing. Surprised some others didn't get more votes. That ORL cover of Lights is superb. |
Sinternet
07.07.23 | the lights cover was one that just missed out on my points but yeah really liked it
i def for the first time just had a few i straight up hated |
Pheromone
07.07.23 | i will never leave the bottom quarter |
Koris
07.07.23 | I'm not really a covers guy to begin with, so this round was a bit of a wash for me. but I tried my best |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.07.23 | "Sikth - Tupelo (Nick Cave & Bad Seeds)"
v nearly went for this too, but i do not trust the MUSIC LEAGUE crew's patience hmmm |
Pheromone
07.07.23 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTh9qiXEy4Q
how many points would u guys have given me |
Tundra
07.07.23 | dont really give much of a shit about covers either, though there are some undeniable good ones |
PitchforkArms
07.07.23 | that Tupelo cover is so damn good - makes me forget about laughing at their vocals (most of the time...) |
anat
07.10.23 | just gon git yer votes in? |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.10.23 | who BROKE THE RULES with that leonard cohen track i am aghast someone here is willing jeopardising the integrity of this music league who is it |
fogza
07.10.23 | you done made johnny mad now |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.10.23 | "rec a cover"
"k i won't"
this is BAD FORM i am shading |
Mort.
07.10.23 | sorry but i thought one of you submitted just like heaven by dino jr but now i see you didnt? am i going mental? |
Pangea
07.10.23 | maybe they changed their submission before the deadline |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.10.23 | 10/10 to whoever did that, wish i could troll mort that hard |
Vercetti
07.10.23 | Damn it! I think I gave 1 point to the leonard cohen song. Now I can't take it back |
Sinternet
07.10.23 | i was gonna give it 2 but i docked a point off but i kept 1 point because it rules anyway |
Pheromone
07.10.23 | i gave it a point also
let's throw fists |
MiloRuggles
07.10.23 | Ok ok it was me, I saw that someone else has recorded and released it before him and was so fazed that I didn't notice that the writing credit still belongs to him. Berrick is the center of all drama, feel free to dock points over here on the official side of things |
Pheromone
07.10.23 | milo is for sure the main character of this season of music league |
MiloRuggles
07.10.23 | We have drama and intrigue in stacks! My punishment could also be creative if you feel so inclined ie I have to use Darude - Sandstorm or whatever in an upcoming round (totally not that though, I'd empty my pointscrotum in its favour) |
MiloRuggles
07.10.23 | In other news I'm now sick and stuck at home and can only play so much XCOM. So I'm going to vote THREE WHOLE DAYS before I have to |
Conmaniac
07.10.23 | I looked up the song title and saw there was an earlier version but also had no idea he actually wrote the track (gave it a point)...not sure enough ppl will be chiming in to decide a "punishment" but I think there should be a general rule of thumb for submissions (blatantly) not following the rules (maybe a 1-3 point dock?) |
Conmaniac
07.10.23 | ALSO tbf it says "previously RECORDED by another artist" so technically Milo may be in the clear...idk |
anat
07.10.23 | awwwee shit that’s called semantics bitch |
Sinternet
07.10.23 | he gets one get out of jail pass then he gets relegated to division 2 |
Conmaniac
07.10.23 | Votes are in early wow!
Got kinda saved at the end there so thx for the buzzer beater points for Lights
Also s/o mupplelope glad someone dug the cover!! |
MiloRuggles
07.10.23 | ohshit the results are in, fun round and nice to see heaps of people leaving comments. Johnny went deep undercover in search of those sweet sweet points.
Who's the user with the French-looking name? |
Deez
07.10.23 | Good round lads.
Now relegate Milo |
Muppelope
07.10.23 | Sorry for the Deftones (also didn't expect 2 Deftones submissions). I unashamedly do love Deftones, and it was the first thing to pop into my head for covers, but I had every intention to switch to something else later... Then forgot. Whoops lol |
Shemson
07.11.23 | Some strong opinions this round, enjoyed that as always 🤣 |
Shemson
07.11.23 | So uh, what is required in the ‘fucking raw’ round? |
MiloRuggles
07.11.23 | It's less about unprotected sex and more about shit being lean mean and direct |
Shemson
07.11.23 | Interesting, so not necessarily metal…
I reckon I’ve got a track that’ll probably get me top 3 this round but also I’ve been enjoying splitting opinion with novelty curveballs so I dunno |
anat
07.11.23 | oh no I’m in first place |
fogza
07.11.23 | anat has a finger on the pulse of sputnik |
Pangea
07.11.23 | fun fact whoever wins the music league will inherit sputnik from mx |
fogza
07.11.23 | anat's life is about to get very complicated |
Pheromone
07.11.23 | > songs that r fucking rawr
submitting brokencyde |
Pheromone
07.11.23 | alright the list is updated - how are you all feeling about ur ranking? it's so lonely at the top...
oh, right, bottom. Shit. |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.11.23 | this is a SOFT CROWD and i have no idea how to pander to y'all with *raw*
predicted top 3:
1. Black Skinhead
2. Creep
3. [insert daughters song] |
Pheromone
07.11.23 | also appreciate the leaving of comments guys - if this is to be the legacy of sotd it's nice to leave a lil blurb for every song
> but phero why did you not leave a blurb for every song?
i did - i forgot to save it.
kill me |
Pheromone
07.11.23 | i think soft crowd is an unfair assessment when narayan and moshimoshi r our two previous victors sir john the mod |
anat
07.11.23 | soft crowd would vote for deftones |
Muppelope
07.11.23 | I am soft crowd |
Vercetti
07.11.23 | I vote for deftones |
Shemson
07.12.23 | So is everyone going for metal or is anyone else interpreting raw in a different way? |
BitterJalapenoJr
07.12.23 | I was originally thinking along metallic lines but my pick will likely not be. |
Shemson
07.12.23 | I’m really torn between a full metallic slapped and a curveball |
BitterJalapenoJr
07.12.23 | Same. I had one in mind which fits Milo's criteria of "lean, mean and direct" but I've been inspired by Johnny's "soft crowd" patter to really push the boat out... |
Conmaniac
07.12.23 | I swear if this whole playlist is metal… |
Deez
07.12.23 | I mean im just gonna chose my interpretation of 'Raw' doesnt have to metal. And Milo can say fk all after his last skirt with the mfing rules. |
MiloRuggles
07.12.23 | Rules? Fuck'em
(YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SUBMIT A METAL SONG)
((unless your name is Deez)) |
Deez
07.12.23 | hahahha x |
fogza
07.13.23 | I am definitely not picking a metal song. I'm guessing the playlist is gonna be a mix of hardcore, post hardcore, and metal, but I'm still wrestling with the word raw |
PitchforkArms
07.13.23 | stuck between a dumb punk song and a m/hcore song.... |
gschwen
07.13.23 | "Metal = raw"?
I associate "raw" with DIY hardcore bands. |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.13.23 | phero can you ban this song in advance for all competitors thanx
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RSy2ajYqks |
Mort.
07.13.23 | phero can you rate this song in advance for all competitors thanx
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArmDp-zijuc |
fogza
07.13.23 | Milo can the song be raw from a backstory point of view but not necessarily from a sound point of view |
fogza
07.13.23 | Give me direction Ruggles I am struggling |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.13.23 | it must be a raw song
lord have mercy on anyone who submits a polished song. |
gschwen
07.13.23 | this is like family feud: you're not trying to answer the question as accurately as possible; you're trying to guess what people are going to vote for |
Deez
07.13.23 | Fog. Absolutely |
MiloRuggles
07.13.23 | gschwen nailing it there. It's not like I'll be floating over proceedings DQing people at will haha. Respond to the prompt with a song you like and hope other people dig it. Uummm fog, maybe? Like lyrically it can be raw? I trust your judgement
Hey, you know what song is pretty damn raw? Dress Rehearsal Rag |
anat
07.13.23 | you know, dress rehearsal tag isn’t -technically- raw :-/ |
MiloRuggles
07.13.23 | The original recording or Leonard Cohen's paltry cover of his own song? |
BitterJalapenoJr
07.13.23 | In what time zone does the "tomorrow at 12:00" apply? |
Shemson
07.13.23 | I think it’s UK time because I always wake up on a Friday and can submit my song straight away |
BitterJalapenoJr
07.13.23 | Cheers. Still can't choose between several options. |
Vercetti
07.13.23 | "In what time zone does the "tomorrow at 12:00" apply?"
On my Music League app it says 1:00 AM. I guess the time that Music League shows you is already for your timezone |
Shemson
07.13.23 | I’ve made my choice now
I think it’s perfect but I don’t think it’ll go down particularly well with a lot of you guys
I’ve come middle of the pack 3 in a row now, definitely some loving and some hating every round! |
BitterJalapenoJr
07.13.23 | I'm doing pretty badly so far. Might just fuck in a song that's pretty raw but not obscenely so and hope some of you folks get a kick out it. |
Shemson
07.13.23 | I think you gotta go super raw like Chat Pile or something or think outside the box on this round
I can’t see safe options getting much love |
BitterJalapenoJr
07.13.23 | Fuck it. Outside the box it is. Happy to take the hit if it backfires in my face. |
MiloRuggles
07.13.23 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDMxbCiRzK4 |
gschwen
07.14.23 | I’m deciding between like four songs. I think I can fit two of them in big chorus and shorties round. |
PitchforkArms
07.14.23 | very happy with my pick this week :) |
Sinternet
07.14.23 | im gonna go emotionally raw over sonically raw and hope it fits the vibe |
Mort.
07.14.23 | who want to talk about super shy by newjeans with me |
Sinternet
07.14.23 | I DO MORT I LOVE NEWJEANS AND MY KPOP 2022 LIST IS ALMOST DONE AFTER 7 MONTHS OF PROCRASTINATION!!! |
Sinternet
07.14.23 | it is a banger they about to slay the new ep and omg i am gonna jam the new odd eye circle ep this week it looks sooooooo good |
Mort.
07.14.23 | pls give me any kpop recs/i will peep this upcoming list cos omg im so in love with this track and have been paying attention to them since OMG wormed its way into my brain |
Sinternet
07.14.23 | you know ditto right? best track of theirs hands down for me
mm ok DEF check all the loona/odd eye circle stuff, bebe yana ep from last year, uh kwon eun bi is a good shout
in terms of modern classics, red velvet and fromis_9 are v consistently great to amazing when they want to be |
MiloRuggles
07.15.23 | hello a reminder to all as i was surprised—24hrs to submit a track for this round!
i am awarding some dope caramel slice to raw hip-hop and electronic recs; if you win the round with either of these genres and you're willing to pay postage (i'm poor) i will indeed send you one Baker Boy Chocolate Caramel Slice (RRP $7 NZD) trust me it's good you want it |
gschwen
07.15.23 | Was thinking about a “fewer than 10k plays” round |
Pheromone
07.16.23 | that's a great round idea i'll add
a baker boy chocolate caramer slice is $7 that sounds expensive |
Pheromone
07.16.23 | > raw hip-hop > caramel slice
dont do this to me - i was already stuck between choices before such an offer came up |
MiloRuggles
07.16.23 | is IS expensive, but is IS good and although i'm a deft baker i ain't got the time for that |
Sinternet
07.16.23 | just got mine in whew i forgot i hadnt submitted yet
other round idea: songs that make yoiu cry we need to real sadboi/sadgirl/sadnonbinaryfolx hours |
Conmaniac
07.16.23 | I second the sadbois round
think it’d be cool to do a pre 1970s round since we did the whole new release thing. doesn’t have to be before 70s (pre 80s/60s?) but something like that u feel |
Vercetti
07.16.23 | New playlist makes a good first impression. More hip hop and less metal than I expected |
MiloRuggles
07.16.23 | mmmmmm i needa check that exuma album again, great pick |
Deez
07.17.23 | Does anyone not have Spotify premium and when listening these lists an ad comes and youre thinking 'Who the FK picked this???' |
Shemson
07.17.23 | New playlist day! Lots more bands/artists I’ve never heard of so looking forward to this!
Congratulations whoever picked ‘Ain’t It Funny’ you’ll be getting points off me as that song absolutely bangs |
SMOKEDOPE
07.17.23 | Idk what this is but I’ve just decided I won it |
Shemson
07.17.23 | I was about to congratulate you but then I saw you 4.5d two Emmure albums and only gave None So Vile a 4 so I’m afraid you are mistaken |
Deez
07.17.23 | is 'Aint it funny' raw? |
Shemson
07.17.23 | I’d say yes, the beat is heavy and Danny goes hard af
I guess the only argument is the production is far too good to be raw but I think it’s raw in every other way |
Deez
07.17.23 | There's quite a few in here that hang but personally don't particularly call the raw. |
Pheromone
07.17.23 | > Does anyone not have Spotify premium and when listening these lists an ad comes and youre thinking 'Who the FK picked this???'
lmao |
Pheromone
07.17.23 | sad boi and pre 70s i like |
anat
07.17.23 | all these hip hop recs cos everyone wants a caramel slice |
Sinternet
07.17.23 | God fuck this why did it not save my comment on my pick.
"is 'Aint it funny' raw?"
Definitely lyrically, its about Danny slipping further into a manic drug addiction. Instrumental depends on whether you consider abrasiveness raw.
Really love this playlist so far good job guys. |
Deez
07.17.23 | Yeah same with my comment I think when you put it n theres a 'make comment public' option or some shit man.
Ah cool, Lyrically then yeah that makes sense, beats dope obvs but not particularly raw at all (for me) Not picking out that track btw obvious banger but not finidng the rawness in a few of these but whatevvvvver. |
MiloRuggles
07.17.23 | meh it's just a prompt ;) playlist is dope |
Vercetti
07.17.23 | "Does anyone not have Spotify premium and when listening these lists an ad comes and youre thinking 'Who the FK picked this???'"
Yes, sometimes |
Shemson
07.17.23 | Some cool stuff here guys, I think the most difficult decision for me to pick out where the points are going! |
anat
07.17.23 | yeah I did 8 1s and a 2 this round, lots of good stuff |
gschwen
07.17.23 | This playlist is way more varied stylistically than I ever imagined it would be |
Shemson
07.17.23 | Yeah I think everybody expected everybody else to pick hardcore/metal so it worked out really varied as a lot decided to go against that!
I was so close to putting an END song on because they’re raw af but hopefully my alternative pick will perform |
Pheromone
07.17.23 | this might be my favourite playlist of the bunch so far
also hilarious hearing faith transition into sharon |
PitchforkArms
07.17.23 | shimmy shimmy ya is an incomprehensibly great pick...
easily my favorite array of tracks thusfar. |
Deez
07.17.23 | High 5s all around |
Shemson
07.18.23 | Really enjoying this weeks playlist
There’s only a couple songs I’m skipping |
fogza
07.18.23 | hasn't been my fave at all but hats off to everyone for bringing the variety |
Vercetti
07.18.23 | Spotify just decided to play 'Nazi Punks Fuck Off' right after 'Angel of Death'. Kinda fitting |
fogza
07.18.23 | Class comment |
Shemson
07.18.23 | Lol good shuffle Spotify, well played
Can we talk about Dambala? Why does it haunt me so? |
BitterJalapenoJr
07.24.23 | It also haunts me. Leaves me in a pensive state of perpetual contemplativeness, pondering the purpose of my own existence. |
Shemson
07.24.23 | Yeah I need to check that album at some point this week, feels like a keeper! |
Pheromone
07.27.23 | is someone alive |
MiloRuggles
07.27.23 | oh boy pang could really upset the apple cart here |
Pheromone
07.27.23 | pangea give me 8 points ask no questions |
MiloRuggles
07.27.23 | annoy the sputnik music league: fearless edition — give two songs 5 points on the last vote |
Pheromone
07.27.23 | lmao |
Shemson
07.27.23 | Good work anat - a very worthy winner this round |
Shemson
07.27.23 | I’m also now realising that all the good ‘short songs’ I thought of are about 2:15 ffs |
BitterJalapenoJr
07.27.23 | Yeah I keep thinking of belters then discovering they're fucking 2:03
Good work anat - a very worthy winner this round [2] |
MiloRuggles
07.27.23 | Fucking anat OP, needs a nerf |
anat
07.27.23 | 😎😎😎 |
fogza
07.27.23 | Anat is cheating he is hiding under people's beds and listening to them talk about their hopes and dreams |
Conmaniac
07.27.23 | still many rounds to go but his lead is kinda scary...
also LESS than 2min means 1:59 or less not 2min or less just throwing that out there... |
Shemson
07.28.23 | Lol I literally just found a total banger that was 2.00 on the dot, was fuming |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.28.23 | SO MANY OPTIONS for this lfg |
Tundra
07.28.23 | didn't think the "lean" portion would be taken so literally, welp on to the next one |
Koris
07.28.23 | Submitted. Should be a fun round :] |
Pheromone
07.30.23 | list updated helllllllll yeah
|
Shemson
07.30.23 | Getting ahead of myself but round 7 says movie, film or game ost - should that be TV, film or game ost? |
MiloRuggles
07.30.23 | The caramel slice remains unclaimed. Your challenge this round should you choose to accept it is to submit a drone track and land in the top 3. I believe in you. |
anat
07.30.23 | this playlist will be less than 40 mins praise be |
Sinternet
07.30.23 | gone for a risky pick this time, lets see if it pays off |
Pheromone
07.30.23 | changed my song last minute will i regret this |
fogza
07.30.23 | Risky pickness |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.30.23 | OHERO |
fogza
07.30.23 | I felt much more comfortable with my pick this time, like I knew exactly what I wanted even if it doesn't do well |
Shemson
07.30.23 | This was the hardest pick for me. I clearly don’t dig short songs and everything I thought was short was a good 15-30 seconds too long for this round |
Koris
07.30.23 | "I felt much more comfortable with my pick this time, like I knew exactly what I wanted even if it doesn't do well"
Same tbh |
Deez
07.30.23 | Votes open
LFG |
Koris
07.30.23 | Oh man, we've got a really good playlist here. So many good songs to choose from |
Sinternet
07.31.23 | looks super tasty yesss |
PitchforkArms
07.31.23 | A few ragers here but this has been solidly my least fav of the rounds listening-wise ): |
Pheromone
08.04.23 | haha yeah it’s quite hard to listen to this playlist with the pure pace of it
vrmmmmm |
Koris
08.04.23 | Glad to see that mine's doing well so far :] |
JohnnyoftheWell
08.04.23 | leaderboard so far looking vaguely perfect, don't you dare fuck this up, people-left-to-vote |
MiloRuggles
08.04.23 | As long as I don't have to give any points for pop punk there's a chance |
Vercetti
08.04.23 | Fuck this up, people-left-to-vote!
Vote for my song! |
PitchforkArms
08.04.23 | Deeply disappointed in the voting pool this week, rethinking democracy itself.... |
Shemson
08.04.23 | Having another listen through this afternoon at work so should get my vote in within an hour or so |
Deez
08.09.23 | Not long left we been stuck of 13 votes for like a week, shape up virgins |
MiloRuggles
08.09.23 | Sorry I've been busy having sex and getting into legal conundrums (these events are unrelated and everything is okay). I'll be voting last minute like a mad dog, so don't cross your fingers for an early bell |
fogza
08.10.23 | Ah the old sex / litigation flex excuse |
Pheromone
08.10.23 | sorry my neighbours have been keeping me awake with their sexual escapades and i've got a tort case ongoing because some mad man dropped a brick on my head
will vote today |
Deez
08.10.23 | Yo whatttttt |
Mort.
08.10.23 | 'i've got a tort case ongoing because some mad man dropped a brick on my head'
skill issue |
MiloRuggles
08.10.23 | hey yeah, fogza called it right, it was all a ruse. i've never had sex and i'm in the process of voting now |
MiloRuggles
08.10.23 | oohhh baybee that's the closest i've come to agreeing with the consensus ratings yet. nice work la liga del música |
MiloRuggles
08.10.23 | oh, and sorry about the brick phero |
anat
08.10.23 | I’m not sorry, I wasted a perfectly good brick |
Conmaniac
08.10.23 | whered the stats go btw ? i liked the lil graphs
also i agree with pitchfork but i was bound to get f'd on a round for my tastes so w/e |
Pangea
08.10.23 | oh yeah i have a bit busy lately and now i have been sick this week, but i'll make the graphs for the other rounds soon |
Pheromone
08.10.23 | whose idea was it to have a short songs round fuckin hell |
Pheromone
08.10.23 | i did actually enjoy that playlist a lot that time round
i have a few albums to che/ck out
@morty mom pang vote guys whats taking u so long |
SlothcoreSam
08.10.23 | For the next round!!!
Please add a viewable comment for the genre you choose along with your song.
For those needing some different genres to choose from check out this site.
https://everynoise.com/ |
Deez
08.10.23 | Some terrible shouts on that genre page
UK old school hip hop is just hip hop
Lists are like Colombian electronic which surely is just electronic. |
JohnnyoftheWell
08.10.23 | eww yeah fr, absolutely inundated with sub-subgenres that are already represented here. too much bs to filter through
thinking of going for a mix of enka and surf rock, but also maybe no |
BitterJalapenoJr
08.10.23 | I was going to go for Scottish hip hop but it's genuinely so horrendous that I won't put you through it. |
Conmaniac
08.10.23 | so everyone should turn on their comments for this next round with a genre tag? |
Deez
08.10.23 | Re Scottish Hop Hop, it's just hip hop. Their can't be just geographical locations attached to a genre already on here or it should yield zero point unless its legit different, I could load 50 ukhh bangers but it's hip hop. |
MiloRuggles
08.10.23 | RIP pang's 22 points |
SlothcoreSam
08.10.23 | Yeah if you want Con, but no penalizing if you don't.
The site is a freaking mess, but it's a lot of fun. |
Pangea
08.11.23 | oh fuck i thought i had more time. Actually really upset at this. I did listen to them and was gonna vote. Totally missed the reminder email
fuck fuck fuck |
Koris
08.11.23 | To be fair, it seems like a lot of people forgot to vote/submit on this previous one
Doesn't help that this thread wasn't bumped much during that time |
BitterJalapenoJr
08.11.23 | "Re Scottish Hop Hop, it's just hip hop. Their can't be just geographical locations attached to a genre already on here or it should yield zero point, I could load 50 ukhh bangers but it's hip hop"
Totally agree. It's just laughably bad hip hop. |
Deez
08.11.23 | Hahah yeah |
anat
08.11.23 | pang will be the first to vote this round, but his track will get 0 votes |
Deez
08.11.23 | Says 3 days to submit!!?? wft |
Shemson
08.11.23 | That’s always been the case hasn’t it? 3 days to submit then 11 days to vote?
I’ve got way too many ideas for this next round, need to work out what gets the most points! |
Deez
08.11.23 | really?? thought it was like a week, jesus |
Deez
08.11.23 | Im just gonna submit and not vote for anyone like these fking helmets. Best strategy
I see you |
Pheromone
08.11.23 | let pangea be a lesson to u all
pang im sorry |
fogza
08.11.23 | No Deez people fought for the right to vote on music league, honour their memory |
fogza
08.11.23 | Pang snatches defeat from the jaws of victory, still that's professional sports |
BitterJalapenoJr
08.11.23 | I'll need to get a move on, going off-grid for a few days so have to pick in the next 24 hours |
Deez
08.11.23 | I suck so bad with genres |
Pangea
08.11.23 | well i'm glad you all liked the song lmao
kill me |
Koris
08.11.23 | Not a big fan of this next round tbh, but I tried my best |
Deez
08.11.23 | Same |
gschwen
08.11.23 | Here comes the all screamo round |
fogza
08.11.23 | Nah I'm sure we'll see some lovely Son Cubano, etc. I choose to be optimistic |
gschwen
08.11.23 | There is a comment thread of “genres not on Sputnik” and I even posted on it to save it but now I can’t find it
Screamo (or skramz for the kids)
Krautrock
Vaporwave
Powerviolence
Slowcore
Also, if anyone uses the “browse genres” drop down, it’s missing the 17 new recently added genres. |
Pheromone
08.11.23 | is slowcore cheating would i be cheating
|
Pheromone
08.11.23 | excited for this round someone submit harsh noise |
JohnnyoftheWell
08.11.23 | Slowcore is cheating, and so are skramz and powerviolence tbh. Subgenres of subgenres already on sput are copouts |
fogza
08.11.23 | what about gentle noise |
Vercetti
08.11.23 | Pheromone needs to think of a new way to spell my name before updating the list. |
Vercetti
08.11.23 | >Subgenres of subgenres already on sput are copouts
Nah, I would accept them |
Pangea
08.11.23 | vercetti lets do schlager together |
Mort.
08.11.23 | this is the lamest round |
Vercetti
08.11.23 | >vercetti lets do schlager together
Not sure if you are serious about this, but I can't stand schlager. I rather pick something that I actually like |
Pangea
08.11.23 | i was kidding but atemlos durch die nacht is also kinda my jam |
Conmaniac
08.11.23 | I have no idea what to submit and I’m scared |
SlothcoreSam
08.11.23 | I thought about Riot Grrrl/Queercore, or Afrobeat, and freak folk. But decided to go with Gregorian chants |
Koris
08.11.23 | I went with witch house for mine. I’m assuming microgenres are eligible for the round, right? |
JohnnyoftheWell
08.11.23 | will be boycotting points for any/all microgenres that already have superordinate sput tags lfg |
BitterJalapenoJr
08.11.23 | Despite the name of my genre of choice this time, it should be considered significantly different enough from it's (maybe) superordinate tag here for Johnny to maybe give it a point, permitting it's to his taste obviously. |
Conmaniac
08.11.23 | will be boycotting all songs that fall under the broad category of music |
Conmaniac
08.11.23 | So The National are def accepted^ |
Shemson
08.11.23 | I’m very happy with my pick for this round even though it might’ve been my pick for a later round |
Tundra
08.11.23 | Was voting for the songs that would get the least votes last round, didnt know one of them would be Sinternet fml |
Conmaniac
08.11.23 | “ Was voting for the songs that would get the least votes”
Only time I did this was for the Umbrella cover (even tho it was kinda fun tbh) and that backfired so.. (def an evil strat tho…can’t bring myself to vote for songs I don’t like) |
Pheromone
08.12.23 | liiiiist updaaaaaated
|
anat
08.12.23 | is genre “ rock “ on sput ikmusic |
fogza
08.12.23 | Blues rock |
Shemson
08.12.23 | Here’s a fun risk for anyone struggling
Blackgaze isn’t on sput
Anyone brave enough to put Dream House on the playlist gets a guarenteed three or more points from me but will risk facing the weird wrath from everyone on sput seemingly hating Deafheaven nowadays |
MiloRuggles
08.13.23 | bumping for the 9 people who have less than a day to submit! tough round |
anat
08.13.23 | I’M THINKING |
Koris
08.13.23 | Yeah, this is easily the toughest round for just 3 days of submitting, lol |
Pheromone
08.13.23 | I love this prompt nice 1 sam
|
fogza
08.13.23 | Actually finding this one hard because there's too many songs I want to pick, spoiled for choice |
anat
08.13.23 | OK I did it |
Mort.
08.13.23 | just submitted my track
have just realised i should have taken this as an opportunity to submit some truly heinous nu-rave or crunkcore |
SlothcoreSam
08.14.23 | New playlist is great so far.
Exploding my musical horizons. |
Deez
08.14.23 | Yeah very solid!
Anyone who didn't label their genre is getting NO point though |
Conmaniac
08.14.23 | Fair^ but Sloth did say “no penalizing if you don’t” |
MiloRuggles
08.14.23 | i think i amended mine last minute because i'd forgotten to tick the box, but i'm all for advocating a no penalty scenario (particularly if it's abundantly clear which genre is being represented anyway)
did anyone go for musique concrete? was tempted to throw some reversed thunder in there |
SlothcoreSam
08.14.23 | Yeah no penalties, that was just a recommendation |
Deez
08.14.23 | I mean theres a couple there that Id say are genres already represented here, so if you havent labelled what it it or why its different, Im gonna hold off on the points for them unless I think its really cool. Rounds dope tho loads of good stuff tbh |
anat
08.14.23 | I’ve interpreted this round as being in the spirit of music discovery moreso than genre loopholes so will be scoring on that metric |
Mort.
08.14.23 | we were supposed to label the genre? fuck off this is so much work |
Tundra
08.14.23 | I put my label after the results shit. |
MiloRuggles
08.14.23 | i'm giving extra points to unlabelled fire |
Mort.
08.14.23 | humanitys last breath in the playlist? dont we have a deathcore tag? |
Vercetti
08.14.23 | Yes, there is a deathcore tag, but it doesn't show up when you click on 'Browse Genres' |
Tundra
08.14.23 | HLB is thall iirc |
Sinternet
08.14.23 | thall is not a genre |
anat
08.14.23 | that was a very fun round to judge, much as i hate getting dragged into genre spats, some proper gems |
anat
08.14.23 | i'd rather snog my own dad than listen to that hlb track again, tho |
Sinternet
08.14.23 | im sure your father has very kissable lips |
fogza
08.14.23 | sint don't make things weird |
Pheromone
08.14.23 | i forgot to fuckin put my comment for before the vote
just know it isnt a genre that isnt on sput
|
PitchforkArms
08.14.23 | Pretty happy with my submission this week.
Knowing the collection of musical internet bedwetters that make the sputnik autismo brotherhood, I was sure this current round was to be the most insufferable one (as others above have also anticipated) - can't say I was too far off. not loving week 6, ya'll ):
@Deez, props for the Madvillain last round, I thought I could triumph with a lesser-known more bombastic metalface song, but I was wrong.... |
Deez
08.14.23 | hahha It was a classic and thought it was time for a classic 'Easier' choice I guess but only came to me late on. Great minds and all that!
'much as i hate getting dragged into genre spats'
Nothing I hate more, I suck with genres as it is but SINCE THATS THE NAME OF THE ROUND, I actually had to put some real thought in. Now peeps like 'pah..no tags whatever, no genre whatever'
|
anat
08.14.23 | yeah I made more of an effort with my comments this time round |
JohnnyoftheWell
08.14.23 | real bedwetters in this round are the ones posting singer/songwriter
i feel a pretty hard three-tier distinction between the ones who smashed it, the ones who *kinda* got it, and the ones who shat the bed on this |
Mort.
08.14.23 | ok johnny arbiter of everything |
JohnnyoftheWell
08.14.23 | the point of this tourno is to arbitrate on everything in each round yes |
Mort.
08.14.23 | yeah but not in the annoying way you do
|
JohnnyoftheWell
08.14.23 | maybe you should have arbitrated harder
before you chose your song (which is it) huh |
PitchforkArms
08.15.23 | irresponsibly coupled adderall with coffee and couldn’t shut up and ended up writing a novel for a bunch of my votes. apologies in advance. scold my pretension |
Deez
08.15.23 | haha excellent |
Conmaniac
08.17.23 | not rly feeling this playlist but i appreciate ppl just f-ing going for it hahaha |
Shemson
08.18.23 | I hate this playlist and the way the voting has gone Con but it’s made me appreciate just how varied a group we have on this for tastes and opinions which is what keeps it interesting! |
anat
08.18.23 | yeah the voting consensus is peculiar, certainly compared to last round which was pretty unanimous |
Conmaniac
08.18.23 | havent voted yet but im scared to...
|
fogza
08.18.23 | Why would ya be scared |
BitterJalapenoJr
08.18.23 | Just voted. An eclectic mix indeed. |
Conmaniac
08.18.23 | @fog cuz I don’t wanna see how I did haha |
BitterJalapenoJr
08.18.23 | I think you'll be doing better than me based on what I saw upon voting |
fogza
08.19.23 | con you will be superb no matter what |
Koris
08.19.23 | Isn't the Nier Automata entry kinda cheating? I love that soundtrack, but Soundtrack is already a dedicated genre on Sput |
Sinternet
08.19.23 | so is new age lol which also covers it
i am not doing well gentlemen i thought you had better taste than this |
Conmaniac
08.19.23 | Have to say I’m relieved after voting just now …thanks for the positivity peeps. surprised at first place fs tho ! 3 left to vote ahh |
anat
08.20.23 | and so we are left with the usual suspects left to vote
I wonder if we will see another relinquished podium finish |
Pangea
08.23.23 | decided to vote this week for a change |
anat
08.23.23 | theme suggestion: pander to pangea’s taste and make him vote first |
Sinternet
08.23.23 | haha classic berrick not submitting |
Pangea
08.23.23 | only twinkly post rock and catchy pop!!! |
MiloRuggles
08.23.23 | Just so you know I am going on a not insignificant roadtrip tomorrow in order to place my votes, logistics are a major gripe in my current living scenario
Theme suggestion for real: controversial songs |
Pheromone
08.23.23 | milo we luv u
what sorta controversial songs? |
MiloRuggles
08.23.23 | Xxoo
Songs with controversial subject matter |
Deez
08.23.23 | We just adding more rounds?
Will take a year at this rate.
Well 6 months if Milo wasn't last all the time
|
PitchforkArms
08.23.23 | Question because I'm too lazy to make my own league to find out.
Not saying it is necessarily required for this specific league, but is there a way to stack rounds? Say, each round lasts for two weeks with one new round starting each week(?) |
MiloRuggles
08.23.23 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaMNseIe_vI |
Conmaniac
08.23.23 | "is there a way to stack rounds?"
nope!
|
Shemson
08.24.23 | Thank you for the Agnes Obel love, I do agree she doesn’t miss out massively on genre tags but I’ve always felt Chamber Pop is the perfect term for her earlier work and it’s missing
I very nearly included her in the next round and not just for The Last of Us, she’s also appeared in Dark a couple of times, and many other shows |
Shemson
08.24.23 | I’m going to take a huge risk in the next round on a video game song that should really hit if you played it but probably won’t if you didn’t
Stay tuned |
anat
08.24.23 | clinging onto my standings lead for dear life |
fogza
08.24.23 | Was a pretty good round for me thanks y'all |
Conmaniac
08.24.23 | yeah fog we killed it : D (grats deez and I appreciate the point despite missing a tag!) |
Muppelope
08.24.23 | In case anyone was wondering, yes, the Nier track was indeed submitted a week early. Apologies. |
PitchforkArms
08.24.23 | Does a cover song that was recorded for the purpose of a film count as OST or are we looking for the pvrest embodiment of OST? |
anat
08.24.23 | I was gonna mention that actually, as this is a pedant’s game
for me, OST = track was produced for the express purpose of its media
so yea I would imagine a cover made specifically for a film would be acceptable |
Shemson
08.24.23 | So it has to have been made for the film eh? That’ll keep it interesting
So for example, you can’t have ‘Where Is My Mind’ for Fight Club because they chose to use it in the film, it needs to have been first released on the movie soundtrack itself like ‘I Disappear’ my Metallica which wasn’t on any of their albums but made for Mission Impossible?
(I’ve already chosen mine but I like clarity) |
anat
08.24.23 | I’m not about to be precious over it, depends what the larger consensus is, but I think true OST is more fun personally |
Muppelope
08.24.23 | I personally will be trying to only vote for true OST material. I think it's more true to the prompt, but I don't necessarily think it's wrong to submit something that was curated, rather than created, for the purpose of a soundtrack. To each their own. |
Shemson
08.24.23 | This feeling makes me happy I already played my Agnes Obel card and didn’t get the ‘not original soundtrack’ backlash 😁 |
Vercetti
08.24.23 | Johnny: I boycott this song!
Also Johnny: I give it half of my points
😅 |
anat
08.24.23 | shem, did you submit thinking it was the OST round? |
Shemson
08.24.23 | I think going forward there should be an unwritten rule that everyone has to give out 3 or more points to at least one song
There’s a lot of 1s and 2s which could be considered gamesmanship, spreading the points so they don’t give away too many to individual tracks… |
Shemson
08.24.23 | Nah anat I went for the chamber pop option with Agnes but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to submit her in genre or OST round so I was happy with my choice now we’re having this debate about OST :) |
Pangea
08.24.23 | Doubt anyone does it for gamemanship. If we change anything to voting, i would rather max the number of points to 3
But probably not this music league as we're already halfway through |
JohnnyoftheWell
08.24.23 | "There’s a lot of 1s and 2s which could be considered gamesmanship"
lol what? this is a fairly self-explanatory product of just wanting to vote for a large chunk of the playlist |
Conmaniac
08.24.23 | As someone that only voted 1s and 2s this past round, I def did so because I didn’t enjoy the playlist and I prob will in the future too. Don’t think there needs to be a minimum top point getter |
PitchforkArms
08.24.23 | tbh I've given lots of 1's because I am very lukewarm on nearly the entire playlist and felt it a bit overzealous to give out 6s &
So let me hone in here....
Are we allowing tracks that were just "featured" in something, or are we doing something that was "created" FOR that medai (game/film/TV)? I feel like most covers that were made directly for a movie are decently apt, maybe not as apt as an Inon Zur Fallout score, but apt enough. If we're just going for cool needle drops in movies that's cool, but be ready for the Scorsese |
Shemson
08.24.23 | Ah fair enough, I personally like to pick a winner and give them at least a 3 but I can see wanting to give more songs more points |
Shemson
08.24.23 | Pitchfork, I think it’s up to us what we pick but general vibe is that people will be more likely to vote for true original music from a soundtrack than Angel by Massive Attack as it was in Snatch |
JohnnyoftheWell
08.24.23 | "for me, OST = track was produced for the express purpose of its media
so yea I would imagine a cover made specifically for a film would be acceptable"
this imo is the final word
maybe with the addendum that tracks with primarily epifilmic/epigame functions are a no-no (eg no promotional songs, and probably no songs that are more notable for their role in promotion than their in-film/game role, so no Linkin Park Transformers songs no Utada Hikaru Kingdom Hearts no I Disappear etc) |
PitchforkArms
08.24.23 | Heard. Gotta run through a few before choosing. Fun round, though. |
Vercetti
08.24.23 | I think songs which weren't created for a film but very well used within it are better picks than OST songs that only play during the end credits |
Deez
08.24.23 | What if it was first heard on a soundtrack before released anywhere else despite maybe not being strictly written FOR that soundtrack per se? |
anat
08.24.23 | what if it’s the theme song to men in black: the animated series? |
Koris
08.24.23 | I already know exactly which one I'm picking for the next round, so this'll be easy for me |
Deez
08.24.23 | I did but now the goalposts have moved |
Koris
08.25.23 | ...aaaand I just realized that my song isn't on Spotify. Fuck |
Koris
08.25.23 | Welp, onto my backup song then |
Deez
08.25.23 | Im not being too strict with the 'Must have been made especially for that movie/game' etc because I wouldnt have a fking clue anyway. As long as its not too obvious as said like a massive song just planted in a movie. |
Shemson
08.25.23 | Right I’m in! Definitely my riskiest pick I think but hopefully enough people enjoyed it like I did! |
MiloRuggles
08.25.23 | I'm only voting for songs written or performed by the director |
Sinternet
08.25.23 | david lynch only round i like it |
Shemson
08.25.23 | Lol if anyone puts the standard ‘Coop investigating’ music on the playlist they’ll get points from me |
Pheromone
08.25.23 | Deez raises a great point, that being: "We just adding more rounds? Will take a year at this rate."
In typical music league democratic rule (if anyone disagrees then we ALL disagree) - what do we say? I can add Milo's round which pushes us to 14 rounds (though ending on "Controversial Songs" seems controversial) or we can set a number (16/300?)
OR we can stick with 13 and call it that we're about half way done now
I guess there's no real one question to answer here but what do y'all (been in America for 2 weeks) think?
|
JohnnyoftheWell
08.25.23 | i'm up for this going on for longer generally, but it's probably more inclusive if we keep this league to 13 and just start a new one after that in case new peeps want to sign up |
anat
08.25.23 | 13 rounds at 2 weeks per round is half a year right????? that seems good and tidy |
Shemson
08.25.23 | Yeah I’m with you guys, 13 is good and then open up a new start
I’m sure some here may drop and some will have missed out and want to get onboard
Maybe have 10 days rounds next time too 👀 |
Koris
08.25.23 | Great, and my second choice isn't on Spotify either. wtf
Seriously, most of the soundtrack options I want to go with aren't even on there, lol |
Koris
08.25.23 | Ah well, just submitted anyway |
fogza
08.26.23 | Yeah I think we maybe play this one out and keep those ideas for the next league. Also, I support shorter turnarounds, obviously I want as many players as possible but I also would dig it if stuff kicked off a little faster. Maybe at least it should start the next phase as soon as everybody picks or votes, although it wouldn't happen often that people complete before the allotted time |
anat
08.28.23 | not sure what I was expecting from this playlist, but probably not what we’ve got! |
Sinternet
08.28.23 | all songs that weren't made specifically for their respective soundtracks are getting 0 points from me weak move |
fogza
08.28.23 | Oh dear 😨 |
pjquinones747
08.28.23 | i very recently was introduced to music league and would love to be considered for any future sputnik music leagues |
Mort.
08.28.23 | oh shit i didnt get to submit |
PitchforkArms
08.28.23 | so much weeb this round |
Shemson
08.28.23 | Gonna listen to this on way to work tomorrow, excited from a quick scan as 28 days later, bojack, twin peaks, kill bill, witcher all known for their excellent music!
Was surprised no Silent Hill but after seeing the recent review maybe not 🤣 |
Shemson
08.28.23 | What is weeb? I’m too old to keep track of all these terms I think! |
Deez
08.28.23 | oh shit i didnt get to submit'
I put a placeholder in but meant to change it as my original one was actually on another sountrack that year. damn |
MiloRuggles
08.28.23 | i didn't pick Silent Hill shit on the basis that someone else would. i basically threw this round, probably gonna be booted out of top 5. that said, i'm expecting maximum cringe tucked away in this one, don't let me down |
Vercetti
08.28.23 | "What is weeb?"
The history of the term seems a bit complicated. It's internet culture slang for people who are weirdly obsessed with japanese culture, specifically animes and mangas (but also video games). At least that's what I think it means |
PitchforkArms
08.29.23 | realizing I missed out on my opportunity for this.....

Conmaniac
08.29.23 | this was the round I was least looking forward to but it somehow sneaked by the last round in terms of enjoyment (not by much)
not confident at all in my pick but I won’t be upset at the L if it fails |
Deez
08.29.23 | I see 'choosing something that was made for the soundtrack' rule meant nothing though |
Conmaniac
08.29.23 | Seems like only half the ppl comment / check in on this thread so prob honest mistakes idk ? |
Conmaniac
08.29.23 | Also for future music leagues we should prob make the rules extremely clear in the description box under the Round Title so everyone is clear on the little side rules that have been happening in here (not to knock Phero they did an excellent job) |
Deez
08.29.23 | Seems like only half the ppl comment / check in on this thread so prob honest mistakes idk ?'
yeah |
Sinternet
08.29.23 | great idea con
first one is always gonna have teething problems but largely it's been so good so far and we have a near universal retention rate of people submitting every week (with some just forgetting it seems)
good work phero |
Conmaniac
08.29.23 | yeah I want this to continue fs glad we got to be the tester batch |
anat
08.29.23 | this whole set up is so much easier/more fun for me to commit to than the usual SOTD |
Shemson
08.29.23 | Yeah I’m really enjoying this tournament
I like this round a lot more than I thought I would too! Props for the 28 days soundtrack it’s one of the very best ever, I even recorded an instrumental inspired by it years ago |
fogza
08.30.23 | Don't really feel this round but I knew I wouldn't |
anat
08.31.23 | yeah damn, now that I’ve listened, this round had such wasted potential |
PitchforkArms
08.31.23 | Phero - sorry to be a gnat, but last week's #5 (Salt Pork, West Virginia - Louis Jordan) was me, not Sloth :) |
Pheromone
08.31.23 | oh nooooo i edited heh
will edit the overall ranking in a little i am jetlagged and just woke up (it is 15:30 what the hell) |
Pheromone
09.05.23 | been away for a little time to LISTEN to OSTs
> Also for future music leagues we should prob make the rules extremely clear in the description box under the Round Title so everyone is clear on the little side rules that have been happening in here
for SURE - tis a teething game but so glad everyone has been on board, i have really enjoyed it :) |
anat
09.05.23 | let’s agree on some rules for next round then
so no vocal samples or vocals used as instruments agreeeeed? |
anat
09.05.23 | 7 min cap wouldn’t go amiss neither |
Deez
09.05.23 | I'd actually ban all electronic as it's too easy for the next round, actual instrumentals, with instruments,
you know what i mean |
Shemson
09.05.23 | I took a risk
It has absolutely ruined me this round damn you guys suck 🤣 |
Pangea
09.05.23 | Same no taste here smh |
JohnnyoftheWell
09.05.23 | "I'd actually ban all electronic as it's too easy for the next round, actual instrumentals, with instruments,"
tbh valid - but electronic only round in future? |
Deez
09.05.23 | Hell yes |
PitchforkArms
09.05.23 | Johnny that's a perfect idea, I thinks |
Pheromone
09.06.23 | charttttts updated
and sorry folks we r capping this at 13 rounds for the sake of democracy or er, hm - it was decided above somewhere! though of course would love for sputnik music league 2 to happen
and thus, should instrumentals include electronics? |
anat
09.06.23 | I will put my name in the hat for running the next league :—) |
Conmaniac
09.06.23 | sooo anat is tryna say the winner should run the next one? |
Sinternet
09.06.23 | will point out that i am planning to get build an album 3 started by the end of this month so if people want to take part in that it may be hard for me to also keep up with this if a second league follows on too quickly |
Conmaniac
09.06.23 | well if u win this league it won't be an issue (; |
anat
09.06.23 | agree that there should be a sabbatical betwixt leagues!
agree that I’m gonna win!!!!! |
Deez
09.07.23 | and thus, should instrumentals include electronics?'
Im saying no its too easy but I mean since no body listens to what we say on here anyway maybe we should clear it up first. Im gonna imagine no matter what we say on here people are gonna pick some electonic and then people are gonna vote for that electronic anyway. |
MiloRuggles
09.07.23 | "Is synthesiser an instrument?"
- Patrick Star, circa 2003 |
fogza
09.07.23 | I think we should allow electronics, and I'm not even a big electronic music fan. Just no vocal samples or use of vocals as an instrument, as mentioned before. By now, I think a computer counts as an instrument |
fogza
09.07.23 | I don't think we can really manage what people pick based on a thread some people choose to read and others don't, lesson learned we should put the criteria in the round description and accept if we don't cover a base in said description. In the soundtrack round I picked a song that wasn't written for the movie but in my mind, I can fully justify why I picked it and personally, I feel what I picked what was appropriate. If you pick something on the line, you can be sure it will cost you some votes anyway as someone will interpret it according to their own code, and you have to accept it, as I know my decision probably drew some ire from some participants. This thread probably serves more as an insight into how people vote and what you need to consider when picking songs |
Deez
09.07.23 | More so why the fk would you be in the league on not check the thread just once a week. Seems so weird to me.
So yeah guess electronics with no vocals at all..still far too easy to pick but whatever |
fogza
09.07.23 | Lol yeah but also if 2 to 5 people say "I think this", it's not really consensus. People might even lurk on this list and go "you're not the boss of me, I'll pick whatever I want". |
Shemson
09.07.23 | Sint - yes mate I loved the last build-an-album, would be great to have another! |
Shemson
09.07.23 | I’m 90% sure of the instrumental I’m picking and it had some noises that are from a mouth but could definitely not be considered words, samples or vocals
You’re not the boss of me |
Pheromone
09.07.23 | > More so why the fk would you be in the league on not check the thread just once a week
haha yeah this is a funny one
are we set with the 7 min rule coz i can add that to the list for the next round?
or does everyone got a godspeed you black emperor song in mind that they just need to submit |
anat
09.07.23 | every round has had at least one “easy pick”, I don’t think a genre should be eliminated on those grounds, if you don’t like it don’t vote for it, that’s the point! |
anat
09.07.23 | and I think a length cap should be in place for any round, else the playlist gets too long and becomes a barrier to entry |
Pheromone
09.07.23 | in defence of no length cap: Narayan won its round at that's a 9 min track AND everyone (bar pangea in that one round god rest his soul) has voted in every round
for instrumental i completely get it though given the nature of 'epic' instrumentals |
fogza
09.07.23 | "but could definitely not be considered words, samples or vocals
You’re not the boss of me"
🤣 |
fogza
09.07.23 | i like a length cap but if we don't have one, that's fine. just be aware players, if i'm bored and it's been like 6 minutes i might not wait 6 more minutes and just give it a 2.5 |
SlothcoreSam
09.07.23 | I got an idea for season 2 to align it to Song Of The Day.
Before the season starts, everyone who wants to join, signs up on a List by the host.
Every participant then gets to nominate the theme for ONE round, and lays down the round rules (can be as crazy/abstract/ or obscure as you want).
The host will then cut and paste this into Music League.
Then when it comes to voting, keep in mind the rules for each round.
|
Shemson
09.07.23 | I like that sloth |
anat
09.07.23 | would require either a reduction in rounds or contestants for a) the playlist to be palatable and b) league doesn’t go on forever :-[ |
SlothcoreSam
09.07.23 | Once all the contestants submit their round ideas, we can vote on the top 10. |
Pheromone
09.07.23 | or 13, the perfect number
but i do really like that idea sloth |
Shemson
09.07.23 | Good point anat
Maybe we do a draw so 13 of x number get to choose and then it’s on for six months or so |
MiloRuggles
09.07.23 | Haha damn I knew I fucked this round up, my first two choices weren't on Spotify so I chose out of pure frustration. Enjoy the podium to those that overtake me, it's a serious burden and you will crumble to pieces under the pressure.
So Gregorian Chants are good for instrumentals, right? |
Deez
09.07.23 | So electronic is a go? |
Conmaniac
09.07.23 | yeah theres no reason why it wouldnt be right? theres no future eletronic round so |
Koris
09.07.23 | "Haha damn I knew I fucked this round up, my first two choices weren't on Spotify so I chose out of pure frustration."
Exactly the same issue I had tbh. A lot of soundtracks are still not on Spotify to this day, which made the round a bit annoying imo |
Deez
09.07.23 | THE GATES ARE OPEN |
Shemson
09.08.23 | Had a shocker that round, only one point!
Comments were fair though, I guess my nostalgia was different to everyone else’s and I should have gone for a more obvious soundtrack pick |
Pheromone
09.09.23 | proper update here - will anyone topple anat? |
JohnnyoftheWell
09.09.23 | started from the BOTTOM (/missed round 1) and now i'm coming for that boi's head |
anat
09.09.23 | leave my head alone |
MiloRuggles
09.09.23 | The rare four way 69 in the middle of the pack, nice |
anat
09.09.23 | nice nice nice nice |
Shemson
09.09.23 | And there I was thinking you wanted your head left alone 👀 |
Tundra
09.10.23 | I wanted to pick FF13 soundtrack but I just know it would have gotten no votes, so I went with FF7 instead |
Koris
09.10.23 | ^ Fair, I was considering picking a FF13 tune as well :] |
Pheromone
09.10.23 | struggling with my pick here hmm |
Pangea
09.10.23 | Don't forget to submit, not much time left!! |
Sinternet
09.10.23 | i also somewhat struggled so I went to my mega playlist on spotify and picked the first thing i found which fit |
fogza
09.10.23 | Was a bit indecisive so I just locked something in for safety and didn't really change it |
Koris
09.10.23 | Didn't have much trouble with this one, but that's also because it came from an album I've been obsessed with lately |
Pheromone
09.10.23 | submit submit submit
|
anat
09.10.23 | damn, commiserations to the slowcoaches |
Deez
09.10.23 | Yo thats a FINE list, well played kids |
BitterJalapenoJr
09.11.23 | I was one of the last to submit and after I did so, I went back in and changed it to something else. Now both are there...Spooky. |
Vercetti
09.11.23 | This is the least interesting round for me so far. Just not a big fan of instrumental music |
anat
09.11.23 | just find a video of jonathan davis’ isolated scat and play that over everything |
Pheromone
09.11.23 | lmao
this is sort of perfect timing for me as i undertake a day of job applications
instrumental here we go
gave a quick spin last night and there's one i fuckin loved |
Mort.
09.11.23 | you are a perfect goose and anyone would be lucky to employ a smarty clever clogs boi such as yourself |
Pheromone
09.11.23 | oh morty how i love thee |
PitchforkArms
09.12.23 | Track for track, easily my favorite of the rounds thus far, but really nothing that was super standout for me compared to the rest of the field. Great assemblage of tracks tho, homies. |
Mort.
09.13.23 | my track is literally one of the greatest tracks of all time so i dunno how you didnt get any standouts |
Vercetti
09.13.23 | >just find a video of jonathan davis’ isolated scat and play that over everything
ngl: that made me laugh 😅 |
Pheromone
09.13.23 | my track is literally one of the greatest the other three songs i wanted to submit had slight vocals of all time |
Deez
09.13.23 | I mean theres one track with vocals on it
also a song well ove the time barrier
No one gives a fk about the rules you could enter a track with full vox and still get points probably |
JohnnyoftheWell
09.13.23 | literally cannot believe that after all that soul-searching we got left with the most obvious phero pick of all time, and it's probably in the bottom 30% of the source band's discog :[[ |
Shemson
09.13.23 | I enjoyed my first listen through, lot of good songs but would also say no huge standouts but loads I liked a lot
Didn’t realise that Russian Circles sound that much like Mastodon doing instrumental music, I never really listen to purely instrumental bands as I enjoy vocals too much, so never checked |
JohnnyoftheWell
09.13.23 | there were a few very clear standouts for me and some equally clear duds ngl
cancelling Mingus for length and Hancock/Mastodon for vocals lol y'all had one job |
Shemson
09.13.23 | How can you disagree with a genius Johnny?
https://genius.com/Mastodon-bladecatcher-lyrics |
MiloRuggles
09.13.23 | Controversy is king. Make your own rules and break those too |
Shemson
09.13.23 | Lol yeah I know I’m not gonna win after I totally fucked the last round so I’m all for controversy if it means picking great songs
As earlier discussed ‘you’re not the boss of me’ |
Mort.
09.13.23 | i know a fair few songs in this round! thats cool! |
Deez
09.13.23 | cancelling Mingus for length and Hancock/Mastodon for vocals lol y'all had one job'
same
sorry (not sorry) |
anat
09.19.23 | god I hate math rock |
JohnnyoftheWell
09.19.23 | ngl the math rock pick was easily one of the superior options this round |
Koris
09.19.23 | Damn, still 9 voters left? lol |
Conmaniac
09.20.23 | imma take my sweet sweet time dont u worry |
anat
09.21.23 | BEERERRRRRICK |
Shemson
09.21.23 | Man I’ve messed up the last two rounds
The Witcher pick I can understand being random and niche but people really think Bladecatcher’s noises are ‘vocals’? |
JohnnyoftheWell
09.21.23 | they are sourced from distorted vocals lol watch live footage of any mic-free performance and post a quick y/n on whether or not you hear them |
Mort.
09.21.23 | Shoulda just done what I did and posted the greatest song ever |
anat
09.21.23 | oh no deez is after my nuts |
fogza
09.21.23 | even though this round didn't go so well for me i'm very happy with my pick and the feedback |
Shemson
09.21.23 | You know what Johnny, no one else mentioned the vocals so the fail is just that people didn’t dig the track, I can live with that (but your argument as to it being vocals doesn’t work as there are loads of bands who add effects, other instruments and samples that you don’t hear live either)
Mort what’s your username in this league? |
Shemson
09.21.23 | How anal are we being on the next round referencing a place?
For example, would you accept a song called ‘home’ or ‘this town’ or something along those lines or would you be looking for a more explicit Frank Sinatra ‘New York, New York’ instead? |
fogza
09.21.23 | i'm gonna say this should be a proper noun like new york new york, i think anyone stretching the rules here is REALLY taking a chance, like i think we all understand what the gist of this round is |
Mort.
09.21.23 | my username should be dean r.
|
BitterJalapenoJr
09.21.23 | Finally come first after a string of very low end performances. I enjoyed this round a lot overall. |
Shemson
09.21.23 | Yeah I was feeling the same fogza - there are a good number of options with proper nouns
I need to listen to that album properly again Mort. I always enjoyed it but I think if I played it at the right time I could love it. |
Shemson
09.21.23 | Congrats jalapeño |
Mort.
09.21.23 | 'I need to listen to that album properly again Mort. I always enjoyed it but I think if I played it at the right time I could love it.'
i get that. theyre a band with a very specific vibe
i just think that interlude track is a perfect pastoral instrumental. a nice simple track that slowly builds up, reminding me of nature and simple life |
PitchforkArms
09.21.23 | I have never had such an easy pick for anything in my entire life. I will be submitting almost instantly LOL |
Conmaniac
09.21.23 | Any proper nouns sound good to me. The late voters saved my butt this past round so thank u |
Deez
09.21.23 | Yeah explicit place for me BUT room to be creative with it |
Deez
09.21.23 | p.s Congrats Jal |
gschwen
09.22.23 | Margaritaville honorable mention |
Koris
09.22.23 | Once again, the song I wanted to use wasn't on Spotify. But I found a pretty good replacement |
Shemson
09.22.23 | lol I like the idea of being creative with it and the fact it immediately made me think of Greetings From Shitsville by The Wildhearts |
Koris
09.22.23 | ^ fantastic song! The Wildhearts are awesome |
Muppelope
09.22.23 | Woah, two week long submission round? Is that a mistake? |
Tundra
09.22.23 | thanks to Fogza for saving my song last round lol |
fogza
09.22.23 | I am the Enrique Iglesias of music league |
Pheromone
09.23.23 | will update music league rankings today but also
mupp you are right! Theres been a glitch!!! Music league has for some reason decided this wait time is 2 weeks (I have not changed anything from the start) so I shall edit that - but want to make sure everyone has submitted before. But usually it will be in on Sunday n then resume normal service |
Pheromone

Koris
09.24.23 | 20 minutes away from the voting round, whoop |
Mort.
09.24.23 | some of these do not count whatsoever. make way? anyone who gives that points should be banned |
Koris
09.24.23 | Yeah, and I'm not sure how the Shadow of Intent one fits either. Still, there are a lot of good choices here regardless. Amsterdam is easily my favorite Coldplay song
Also, for the record, I was originally going to use California by Joni Mitchell. But then I forgot that she's not on Spotify anymore :[ |
Tundra
09.24.23 | If the world fits then the Macrocosm fits. |
Mort.
09.24.23 | lol no it fucking doesnt
|
Mort.
09.24.23 | the universe is not a place, its what we demarcate upon
u big dummy
|
anat
09.24.23 | make way (!) and macrocosm do not fit lmao |
Deez
09.25.23 | Japam also isnt a place |
Shemson
09.25.23 | Surprised to see so many disqualified entries in probably the clearest round of the game! |
BitterJalapenoJr
09.25.23 | I fucking missed the deadline. |
fogza
09.25.23 | NOOOooooo! |
anat
09.25.23 | I had like 5 tracks I could have recced and they all had actual locations in the title (as per the brief), ppl either masssively over thinking it or under thinking it |
Mort.
09.25.23 | 'Japam also isnt a place'
i mean id allow that one cos that whole ep is just place names misspelled/misprononounced
and no believe it or not that actually wasnt me, yes i do love botch tho |
Pheromone
09.25.23 | jalapeno wins last round n then doesn't submit for the next
boss move |
fogza
09.25.23 | total and utter jalapeno confidence love to see it |
BitterJalapenoJr
09.25.23 | My excuse is that I was and still am extremely hungover from being on a stag do at the weekend. |
Deez
09.25.23 | "that whole ep is just place names misspelled/misprononounced'
I know mate....
So choose a different one. Haha thats the point of the round. Japam isn't a location Neither is Spaim.
|
Deez
09.25.23 | And I also LOVE botch |
Vercetti
09.25.23 | I accept Japam, because it 'references a place in the title'. Nobody said anything about correct spelling |
MiloRuggles
09.25.23 | Geez deez, quit yo sticklin |
Pangea
09.25.23 | Don't think it makes sense to nitpick misspellings or puns that are obvious references to places
both Japam and Depreston are totally fine by me. I do think there a few others that did miss the mark theme-wise |
Deez
09.25.23 | deprestons fine cos prestons a place Afgantistam isnt
'Geez deez, quit yo sticklin'
Sticklin to the fking rules! last round we had a song with vocals and a song over the time limit. The rounds may as well be 'Choose a song'
'references a place in the title'. Nobody said anything about correct spelling'
This is actually a good point tho |
Conmaniac
09.25.23 | I think there’s 3 obvious DQ’d songs (Make Way, Own Little World, Macrocosm) with a couple fringes that are up for debate. Personally I won’t be giving points to the 3 mentioned above |
Deez
09.25.23 | I think a bit of creativity with it is fine or everyone would be posting songs about new york and brooklyn and Im actually gonna take on Vercettis point Japam does reference a place. But yeah those 3, especially the first 2... |
MiloRuggles
09.25.23 | Last rounds complaints were fair (I mean I knowingly broke the rules because I still consider Watermelon Man an instrumental and like riling people up) but yeah puns and misspellings is getting a bit finicky |
anat
09.25.23 | can’t wait for people to rec track 3’s for the bookend round |
JohnnyoftheWell
09.25.23 | Yeah lol place references are okay in book - ditto what con said but also gonna be 50/50 on the title with "American" in its name. Fuck the truthers, Walmart isn't a place |
Conmaniac
09.25.23 | literally the example that I was thinking as "fringe" johnny
love that album tho... |
MiloRuggles
09.25.23 | Are there any books that end in the middle? Maybe there's a track 3 out there with Riverrun in its title hmmmm
Sorry if I sounded like an angry prick up there, I think I'm going through manopause |
JohnnyoftheWell
09.25.23 | there are definitely some track 1s that aren't openers (get some Meteora on your manopaws) |
Mort.
09.25.23 | deez having a moment of stupidity i see
japam is a place, cos japam is referencing japan
oh wait i see your moment of madness passed quickly my mistake
but yeah the three con listed are wack |
Deez
09.25.23 | can’t wait for people to rec track 3’s for the bookend round'
WELL ITS THE BOOKEND OF TRACKS 2 AND 4 , STOP NITPICKING GAWWWD |
Deez
09.25.23 | Mort 'Deez having a moment of stupidity'
Also Mort 'japam is a place' |
Mort.
09.26.23 | japam is a place
cos the referent of japam is japan |
MiloRuggles
09.26.23 | Is Nipppon a place? |
Mort.
09.26.23 | yes |
Mort.
09.26.23 | this thread is now: ask mort. what words are places? |
Vercetti
09.26.23 | Is 日本 a place? |
Mort.
09.26.23 | i dunno i dont read foreign |
Pheromone
09.26.23 | is mayonnaise a place |
Mort.
09.26.23 | The Plaza de Mayo (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈplasa ðe ˈmaʝo]; English: May Square) is a city square and the main foundational site of Buenos Aires, Argentina. |
Deez
09.26.23 | Whats the capital of Japam? |
Mort.
09.26.23 | tokyo i think |
anat
09.26.23 | is plaice a word? |
Mort.
09.26.23 | yeah its a type of fish |
Muppelope
09.26.23 | I think Japam on its own, with no context of the rest of the songs on the EP, is debatable as to whether or not it references a place. But in the context of Afghamistam and Spaim and Micaragua, it's so obviously "Japan" that it's probably fine. |
Mort.
09.26.23 | a very smart and handsome user named mort already cleared this up but thanks muppel |
Muppelope
09.26.23 | Ope, didna see. Very smart and handsome indeed. |
fogza
10.04.23 | I am surprised that Milo hasn't voted yet usually very punctual |
Deez
10.04.23 | Bookends should have an 8 min limit I think |
MiloRuggles
10.04.23 | Oh fuck when did I sign up for this? |
MiloRuggles
10.04.23 | MiloRugugles, 4th place Music League participant strikes again! Gather ye round and bear witness, for he is going to cast his vote at some point before the deadline!
But not right now, because - unfortunately - even ridiculously good looking people have to get some shut-eye. I'll see you in, gurgh, 24 hours? |
Shemson
10.04.23 | I completely forgot about this round lol |
fogza
10.04.23 | deez needs a legal nickname, like "the lawbringer" |
Deez
10.04.23 | I like it |
PitchforkArms
10.04.23 | Sheriff Deez, I agree with you. |
Deez
10.04.23 | I say it from looking at what my own choices would be and most are over 10 mins. No one wants a 3 hour playlist! |
Conmaniac
10.04.23 | Just voted. Solid round fs, one clear winner IMO (other than my rec hehe) |
MiloRuggles
10.05.23 | I take it that the The United States of America track that's literally (maybe) only available to listen to in America itself is utter trash? How many points should I give it? What's a U-tube? |
fogza
10.05.23 | it is like a submarine but more tubular |
MiloRuggles
10.05.23 | Righto, 5 points to tubular u-boats |
Shemson
10.05.23 | Well I agree with the consensus in that I have points to each of the top 3!
Disappointed that few liked my MM pick, I think it’s one of the better post M&A MM songs |
anat
10.05.23 | I have been ousted |
Deez
10.05.23 | You were only ever a place holder dude |
Conmaniac
10.05.23 | ayyy finally a first place finish for meeee. glad my track and my fav track (sint's) were the winners !! |
MiloRuggles
10.05.23 | reel 1s are in the fight for 3rd place
i love reading all the comments after the big delay. i had similar taste to johnny this time so i'm going to presume that i'm actually very smart. music league is for the children. |
Conmaniac
10.05.23 | reel 1s are in 1-hundreds rn |
Deez
10.05.23 | Well played Con |
Conmaniac
10.05.23 | appreciate it deez
grats on the newfound lead ya got! |
Deez
10.05.23 | it wont last hahah |
anat
10.06.23 | in before anyone submits a one track album, claiming it is both an opener and a closer |
Shemson
10.06.23 | I have a feeling we’ll see more openers than closers |
Pheromone
10.06.23 | [On my rec Moscow Nights by The Feelies]
Johnny: "Good interpol/JD worship"
Johnny, the feelies were from 1980 |
Shemson

That and the fact their album cover looked like The Inbetweeners shows just how ahead of their time they were |
anat
10.06.23 | the inbeweezers |

10.06.23 | lmao shems, also dope you opened for horse the band that is cool

Shemson
10.09.23 | New playlist up!
The brass balls one you had to not only
1. Pick a BTBAM song
But
2. Pick an 18 minute BTBAM song
Is impressive and you’ll get at least a point from me because I’ve always loved the vocal harmonies on the last chorus but with a bunch of people talking about disqualifying 8 min plus songs you won’t get much else 🤣 |
Pangea
10.09.23 | awesome con, appreciate that you included the average with my missed round haha |
MiloRuggles
10.09.23 | Really wanted to use Dopesmoker but hey |
anat
10.09.23 | 18 minutes! patooey |
Koris
10.09.23 | I can already guarantee you the BTBAM entry is Tundra, lol |
Mort.
10.09.23 | im not listening to that lol fuck that dogshit band |
Deez
10.09.23 | lol |
MiloRuggles
10.09.23 | I'm thinking the perp is Deez deep undercover. I'm dishing out points for chutzpah regardless |
Shemson
10.09.23 | The real twist will be when you realise it was me who picked the BTBAM so I could come on here and give the selection some back handed compliments and make it the underdog selection 🤣 |
fogza
10.09.23 | I listened to the whole BTBAM song and i did not enjoy it |
Deez
10.09.23 | It's getting dirty towards the business's end! |
anat
10.09.23 | between BTBAM and the modest mouse sass, I’m beginning to think ppl are getting disenchanted |
Koris
10.09.23 | And meanwhile, my closer is only about 2 minutes. lol |
Shemson
10.09.23 | I like all eras of modest mouse but Dramamine was right there for opener picks come on |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.09.23 | 3rd Planet bby, but yeah that MM pick was a straight miss |
fogza
10.10.23 | Dramamine is too obvious but March is a bit of a going through the motions MM track |
Pheromone
10.10.23 | dramamine would have gotten many a point from myself (mayb probably) |
fogza
10.10.23 | i kind of don't want to vote for massive ubiquitous songs and there's been a few in this round. I've given them one point even though they're worth more |
MiloRuggles
10.10.23 | ^^^ I've been avoiding giving points to that kinda stuff as a general rule. Bonus points always awarded to cool shit I've never heard. Discovery isn't quite the name of the game, but perhaps it should be? |
Mort.
10.10.23 | bit late to decide on the nature of the game lol
just vote on the songs you enjoy the most
and dont vote for btbam because its dogshit |
MiloRuggles
10.10.23 | Special comment thread rule for Round 10: you're not allowed to vote for songs you already knew. If you diverge from this plan you will be kidnapped and and be forced to listen to Death Magnetic at eardrumblowing decibels for the rest of your miserable life |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.10.23 | FINALLY a good excuse not to vote for any of y'all |
fogza
10.10.23 | I have nothing against anyone else giving big points to classics. I'm just on a different path, and I can always decide the nature of my own game, sorry mort. you cannot control me I am a free spirit |
Mort.
10.10.23 | i cannot control you, but i will criticise you as long as i live
fogza bad |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.10.23 | personally only gonna skip on Glory Box and Angel, which have the triple whammy of being on personal favs, being publicly overplayed, and being tracks that i'm convinced everyone else in this league has heard 2-3 times. uncanny valley effect seeing em here (and there's q a few Big tracks from albums everyone fucks with that I don't get that ick from)
would probs skip Gospel too if that opener was point-worthy to begin with |
Mort.
10.10.23 | youre point worthy in your soul john wellison |
Conmaniac
10.10.23 | I always vote for songs I already knew if I like them idk what y’all on |
Shemson
10.10.23 | I vote for the songs I like the most 🤷🏻♂️
Someone put Danny Brown Ain’t It Funny in an earlier round which was literally my most played track last year but shit slaps, shit gets 3 points from me |
gschwen
10.10.23 | Reasons I'm not voting for your song:
1. It's too long
2. It's too short
3. I already knew the band
4. I don't recognize the band
5. I've heard the song before and I like it
6. I've heard the song before and I don't like it
7. I've heard the song before
8. I've never heard the song before
9. It's not thematically appropriate
10. It's too thematically appropriate and therefore pandering
11. Other people might vote for it
12. Other people wouldn't vote for it
13. What would the others say |
Koris
10.10.23 | 14. Music that repeats is unlistenable in its entirety |
MiloRuggles
10.10.23 | Big [2] gscwen FINALLY bringing some sense into this thread. I don't like any of the playlist this week, so I'm throwing my 10 points at "Why Does It Hurt When I Pee?" by Frank Zappa. Please tabulate this alongside the regular results. |
Deez
10.10.23 | Get out of my head |
Pheromone
10.12.23 | gonna guess whether every song is an opener or closer that is my fun voting game |
Mort.
10.12.23 | youre my fun voting game |
Pheromone
10.12.23 | mort - aww you're so sweet
johnny - hello, human resources?! |
Mort.
10.12.23 | i am pretty hot ngl |
Koris
10.12.23 | I’d drag my balls through glass just to hear you fart through a walkie-talkie |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.12.23 | if a league team doesn't have the inner rhythm and baseline sexiness to navigate its own cognitive dissonance, i q frankly want no part in it |
Koris
10.12.23 | ^ could you say... baselineOOO sexiness? |
fogza
10.12.23 | freudian slippiness |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.12.23 | baselineOOO would never force me to revisit the most overplayed parts of my own library like this
or if she did i wouldn't mind it - learn by example, nerdos! |
MiloRuggles
10.12.23 | Yeah uh I remembered about this round at work with about an hour left to submit and couldn't think of anything that wasn't obvious on the spot
But I still didn't submit Angel, come on son |
Pheromone
10.12.23 | you guys suck for not giving me your points i give up |
anat
10.12.23 | good openers and closers are pretty context dependent (I guess closers more so than openers) so I think it is reasonable for there to be some quote unquote obvious choices!! |
BitterJalapenoJr
10.12.23 | "Yeah uh I remembered about this round at work with about an hour left to submit"
I remembered on a train from Porto to Lisbon and also had less than an hour so just chucked in one from the album I was dipping my toe into at the time. |

Shemson
10.19.23 | I definitely did better than the loud minority made me think I would this round 🤣
Thinking deep about next round. Got so many ideas of huge choruses across so many genres but what is best… |
Conmaniac
10.19.23 | oh wow I was last to vote sorry
still got top 5 with my “obvious pick” oh well sorry NOT SORRY HAHA |
anat
10.19.23 | I have been toppled!!! |
PitchforkArms
10.19.23 | Deez on some next level shit!!!
The late voters this round represented hard for me & my The Hotelier pick. thx fam
This is so damned fun - I started a league at work and with a group of my pals. Such good vibes |
Conmaniac
10.19.23 | ya yw for those 4 points hahaha. Love that closer tho was a great pick |
Shemson
10.19.23 | Sorry about me, yes I picked Angel, I’ll do better next time 🤣
I was right up there a few rounds ago and then tried some risks and got no returns for them so I’m very happy with 11 points for an obvious pick |
Koris
10.19.23 | So... when I pick a more obscure artist, people don't like it. When I pick a more popular and acclaimed artist, people tell me I'm being too obvious. Nice |
Deez
10.19.23 | Hey it got points Shem that's all that matters |
Deez
10.19.23 | 'I have been toppled'
You were toppled last round!
Still tight as a megadeth fans jeans up at the top , loads of time |
anat
10.19.23 | so I was!!
must think of the biggest chorus possible |
MiloRuggles
10.19.23 | i am personally devastated that one Jonathan Wellesley has already introduced this barn burner recently in the ol' SotD because it fits the bill so damn well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iF47M3YDlg |
Deez
10.19.23 | hahaahh |
Pheromone
10.20.23 | liiiiiiist updated
the top 5 had less to say about their picks then usual
also @milo as per ladies & gentlemen, there being two versions of that song and the better version being almost impossible to easily find now is hard sad hard |
Mort.
10.20.23 | 'Duster - Congratulations... You've Hit Bottom! [By Muppelope] [18 POINTS, 14 Voters]' |

fogza
10.21.23 | We've all been there but with time and medication I believe you'll pull through |
Deez
10.21.23 | Eeeeeeee |
MiloRuggles
10.22.23 | !!!!ALERT!!!!
I have officially submitted my track for Round 11 of the Sputnik Music League. Statistics from the first 10 rounds suggest that I am amongst the upper quartile of tardy submissions, and yet there are still 7 people that have not submitted their entries with a mere 11 hours (maybe) to go! I would suggest that these individuals search their souls, clear their schedules, and present unto the world tracks that are designed to be BELTED out in a drunken stupour or just mad instrumentals or just submit something shit because I've got nothing else going on in my life and winning this competition would mean the world to me.
In other news, the All Blacks are going to win the Rugby World Cup next Sundee and I'm going to livestream myself breakdancing naked for 24 hours straight on Twitch.tv. Stay fucking tuned folks |
Vercetti
10.22.23 | I wanna see the breakdancing |
fogza
10.22.23 | Oh dear Milo are we in opposition to each other, let's make it 4 for the springboks go Mzansi |
anat
10.22.23 | I’m rooting for naked breakdancing - nakedancing |
Sinternet
10.22.23 | my moneys on springboks tbh |
fogza
10.22.23 | Unfortunately we didn't have a great game yesterday, but we prefer to be the underdogs so there's that |
Deez
10.22.23 | Milo submitted before SIX people. So proud |
Mort.
10.22.23 | fucking layabouts hurry up
no i dont care about your personal life
this online music league is much more important |
MiloRuggles
10.22.23 | Thanks deez, I'm freshly therapised and full guns blazing on internet music competitions. No more fucking around.
Severely disappointed to see Boks fans flooding in. You may have the greatest South African team of all time, but we have the perennially underrated Fossie and an Ardie Savea on our side. If Roigard gets named on the bench you're all fucked. Commiseration braai is on me though, gl to all
I have a feeling this is gonna be the best playlist yet |
Shemson
10.22.23 | Oh shit 5 people still not submitted - hurry sput fam |
Mort.
10.22.23 | yes and one of thems MoM and ive seen that fucker on sput, they have the time!! |
fogza
10.22.23 | I'm scared of frizell, that guy caused us all sorts of headaches. Submit people, exercise your right to pick songs in a meaningless arbitrary ranking exercise |
MoM
10.22.23 | @Mortimer

Love Trazodone, but not convinced whoever picked that knows the difference between a chorus and a bridge |
Mort.
10.22.23 | oh shit oh fuck oh shit i dont know that song but what if i dont know the difference between a chorus and a bridge oh god how does music work i just saw big big chorus and went with big big sing along vibes |
Shemson
10.23.23 | I think you’ll be ok Mort
Chorus: big singalong
Bridge: used to travel over an obstacle, usually water |
fogza
10.23.23 | Like the river Kwai? |
Pheromone
10.23.23 | lmao shems
i er i forgot to change my backup song
i blame milo somehow |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.23.23 | a bridge is a best bit that you go all out to if you know the song already, but otherwise good luck loser
a chorus is a best bit that'll learn you to sing along by the end of the song even if you haven't heard it before
mort is cancelled jerry jones is cancelled (but will probably trigger fogza, so gets off on bail) |

10.23.23 | NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo |
Mort.
10.23.23 | mines deffo a chorus for all intents and purposes though, might not repeat between verses but it has the vibe of a chorus
and i famously work off of vibes and not strict definitions (which definitively dont exist anyway)
so basically im always right get skronked |
gschwen
10.23.23 | This platform would be better if the submission period for the next week was concurrent with the voting period |
anat
10.23.23 | I use the voting period to compile potential recs, ya just got to be a nerd about it |
Shemson
10.23.23 | I feel very confident about my songs chorus-having-ability, whether you fuckers like it or not is a different story 🤣 |
anat
10.23.23 | is it GOOD though, shemdad? |
Shemson
10.23.23 | Ah shit I never considered making it good |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.24.23 | this round has taught me that either I hate big choruses, or half of y'all really don't care for em is this gaslighting |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.24.23 | i submit that you crash someone else's party |
Vercetti
10.25.23 | @Koris You've left the league? |
Koris
10.25.23 | Yeah, I missed the last voting round, and in general I just wasn't that invested anymore so I decided to dip out. All good though |
fogza
11.01.23 | Come on let's go let's wrap this up two more rounds do it for the nuge |
Pangea
11.01.23 | i am in the process of voting! |
JohnnyoftheWell
11.01.23 | I for one am pumped for Music League 2 |
anat
11.01.23 | I would like to run the next one please!! |
MiloRuggles
11.01.23 | What is this? Can I join? |
anat
11.01.23 | You can join the next one of course |
Pheromone
11.02.23 | phero vote ffs |
MiloRuggles
11.02.23 | ffs isn't a contender this round?! vote for the track that is basically 110% chorus |
fogza
11.02.23 | Vote for the track that ruggles the most |
MiloRuggles
11.02.23 | Well the kid has voted and the Ruggliest track is pure middle-of-the-pack fodder! I am aghast!
Those that haven't voted — please do. There is an unspeakably tragic tie that needs to be untied. |
fogza
11.02.23 | vote with your wallet
vote with your feet
vote with your heart |
Shemson
11.02.23 | Ah man, I loved that Anneke chorus, I’m sad you guys didn’t |
MiloRuggles
11.02.23 | "this feels like an Aussie anthem"
man oh man if i had arms as wide as the atlantic (i guess) i'd strangle you |
Conmaniac
11.02.23 | i def meant kiwi sry : D |
MiloRuggles
11.02.23 | All is forgiven my brother in Christ |
anat
11.02.23 | my brother in Christchurch |
Pheromone
11.04.23 | does cocteau twins count for this round |
gschwen
11.04.23 | There are no rules for what you submit, just what you think people will vote for |
Sinternet
11.04.23 | how we feeling about songs that are majority in a foreign language but have some english phrases scattered in? |
Mort.
11.04.23 | only language i recognise is english, not racist, just dont speak foreign |
Pheromone
11.04.23 | the cocteau twins thing was a joke but i guess jibberish is a language |
anat
11.04.23 | do what you frickin want, at this point it barely matters |
JohnnyoftheWell
11.04.23 | get your shit together yousaps - no bricking yourselves just before the finishing line
stray English lines in a non-English song are fine imo, but I will be combing sint's CV to confirm that he does not speak a word of whatever the other lang is |
anat
11.04.23 | hey guys is mellotron a foreign language what about someone coughing in french |
Shemson
11.04.23 | Le cough |
anat
11.04.23 | cœuf |
fogza
11.04.23 | What about an English song sung in an accent |
Vercetti
11.04.23 | it depends on how strong the accent is |
MiloRuggles
11.04.23 | Is sriracha a foreign language? |
PitchforkArms
11.06.23 | FUUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKK FUCKFUCKFUCK
Missed the submission (have been checked out from internet things for like 2 weeks) god damnit damnit damnit damnit. There goes my podium finish :( |
MiloRuggles
11.06.23 | You're still beautiful xx |
anat
11.06.23 | it’s okay pitchfork I have performed abysmally for a few weeks, no reason for that not to continue |
Deez
11.06.23 | Youre right there Anat |
Deez
11.06.23 | wait ...i mean youre 'Right there in the mix' hahaha
|
Pheromone
11.06.23 | pitch :( |
SlothcoreSam
11.06.23 | Great playlist for a Monday morning at work |
gschwen
11.06.23 | Was least looking forward to this playlist but has turned into one of my favorites |
PitchforkArms
11.07.23 | I am genuinely so bummed that I flubbed this round... I have really been checked out and hyper-focused on an extremely large project in my life. Ugh.
My selection would've likely been "Si Senor" by Control Machete, because I feel like we've been sorely lacking on the hip-hop in this game (and because I had already used Malaguena Salerosa) |
gschwen
11.07.23 | I remember that song from the Levi's Jeans commercial |
Deez
11.08.23 | Solid round |
MiloRuggles
11.08.23 | I've had a significant and delayed epiphany: Magma was the superior choice for this round and I'm disappointed in us as a collective. |
Deez
11.08.23 | damn yeah :( |
anat
11.10.23 | decent round that, if a little disappointed at the covers |
Shemson
11.10.23 | This round was a lot of fun! I had to drag myself up to play but I’m enjoying it! |
Pangea
11.13.23 | lots of Spanish in the playlist! My first pick was actually Frisian, but as much as like that song, it is pretty corny so went for a Spanish one instead
Kinda wish I hadn't now so that we would have more language variation |
MiloRuggles
11.16.23 | i simply haven't the time to make snarky comments to accompany my votes this week. pretty lovely playlist all, go spanish and its constituents.
V O T E |
Pheromone
11.16.23 | and as we approach the final round milo returns to the top : OOOOO |
fogza
11.16.23 | Phero looking at quite a hot finish |
JohnnyoftheWell
11.16.23 | phero's MCR/Midori power-combo in the last two rounds have been the emergency vim we were all craving in this league |
Pheromone
11.18.23 | okay finally got an update in - there is an argument to be made about 13's album art ruining the feng shui of the place
FINAL ROUND HYPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE remembertodotherule FINAL ROUND HYPEEEEEEE |
Deez
11.18.23 | Should maybe click 'yes - Let others see my comments on this song before voting' so you can read why it's not loved before you vote |
Deez
11.19.23 | or not
fk u |
fogza
11.19.23 | Last round get your mfing recs in get your recs in |
Pheromone
11.19.23 | deez is right u go deez |
anat
11.19.23 | chucking a tenner on anat to win the league |
Vercetti
11.19.23 | I'm the only one in the bottom 3 who played every round and that won't change |
anat
11.19.23 | big kudos to you vercetti thanks for playin |
MiloRuggles
11.19.23 | 7 of yous still need to submit! Squeaky bum time! |
Pheromone
11.19.23 | so many to VOTE AHHHH time to shoutbox |
Deez
11.19.23 | deez is right u go deez'
Im not doing it though now cos it will be obvious which is mine since no one else will hahha |
Pheromone
11.19.23 | I'm pretty sure everyone is doing it (right?! The rule is on ML too)
the only people that aren't are people who probably forgot to tick that comment box which is why woo go deez for reminding |
Deez
11.19.23 | Ok cool. Final push kids. Winner takes it all. |
Vercetti
11.28.23 | 48 hours left and more than half of you still haven't voted yet! |
fogza
11.29.23 | Is it league fatigue? do not fall at the last hurdle everyone |
fogza
11.29.23 | it might seem more important to spend time with loved ones or get your life admin in order, or to catch with work, or to go to the doctor for that check up, but believe me... it's more critical to judge a random list of songs! |
Vercetti
11.29.23 | Yes, it is! |
Deez
11.29.23 | I mean...you know that for the start. Unless your family was less important 3 months ago |
Pheromone
11.29.23 | GOOOOOO TEAM |
Pheromone
11.30.23 | guys it is almost over : (

MiloRuggles
11.30.23 | Oh fuck, I am entertaining a guest, I shall have to quickly drag them through it |
Pheromone

Conmaniac
12.01.23 | What a comp. grats to the tops u earned it |
Sinternet
12.01.23 | very well done everyone, and big thanks to phero for organising it
looking forward to doing this again somewhen soon |
anat
12.01.23 | dang that’s a tight podium! well done milo |
fogza
12.01.23 | Thanks phero, you are magic, and congrats to the top 3 and all the participants, we made it! |
fogza
12.01.23 | Also, RIP diva, wish we could have played this round with you |
Shemson
12.01.23 | Ah crap I thought I still had today to vote. Lost eleven points due to my tardiness 🤣 |
Pheromone
12.01.23 | CONGRATS MILO WINNING BY ONE VOTE WOW SO EXCITING MUSIC LEAGUE 2023 SO EXCITING - UNTIL NEXT TIME!!!
Cheers for partaking friends it was real fun I had a ball and found much new music to explore! And yes ofc, wish Diva could have been here to berate all my songs hehe :( big RIP. Big love all.
Was Drifter anyone else's biggest critic?! Zero points. Piss take. |
Pheromone
12.01.23 | > me in september
"milo is for sure the main character of this season of music league"
i dont wanna say i called it or anything... |
Pangea
12.01.23 | i thought we were friends drifter 😭
i'm working on some extra stats! |
anat
12.01.23 | once the fog of euphoria clears I will set up a second league, get some fresh blood in and that, and commence it in the new year |
Deez
12.01.23 | Well played kids
Milo especially
Beaten by a point hurts but I'm in Thailand so fk it
: )
Drifter was everyone's hater by the looks so I guess he just didn't vote |
Pangea
12.01.23 | Yeah drifter dropped one song, didn't vote and then just dipped
|
JohnnyoftheWell
12.01.23 | CLASSIC DRIFTER
lfg milo supremacy is a timeline i'm heavily here for. music league 2 when? |
Pheromone
12.01.23 | deez u did amazing
however your run will forever be tainted in my eyes by the fact that now ISIS has to be included in a round-winners compilation playlist |
MiloRuggles
12.01.23 | I am officially the purveyor of lowest common denominator chunes! Fuck oath, well played all, I look forward to the next one. I knew I'd steal a few points from Johnny with my last pick, but 5 to put me one ahead was a brutal twist (I'm not sorry). Just to rub it in (because I'm not in Thailand), deez also gave me the most votes throughout the tournament
See you losers in my imminent [non-event] victory list |
Vercetti
12.01.23 | Thanks, Phero! Had a great time doing this and listened to a lot of good songs. Therefore I call myself a winner. |
Feather
12.01.23 | I couldnt figure out how to join or use the app lol.
I didnt try very hard. Maybe next round. |
Pheromone
12.01.23 | that's the apathetic spirit we all need feather!
milo sorry no victory list for u sput needs the bandwidth preserved |
Pheromone
12.01.23 | this entire list is your victory list - all 1000 of these comments are now yours |
Sinternet
12.01.23 | "Drifter was everyone's hater by the looks so I guess he just didn't vote"
i somehow got sloth who officially gave me 0 votes, now thats real dedihateion |
Feather
12.01.23 | "that's the apathetic spirit we all need feather!"
Good point, I am not even going to attempt to do this next time |
Pheromone
12.01.23 | no I was only joking please come back
also lol sint |
SlothcoreSam
12.01.23 | Hahaha, that is so strange Sint, as I love most of your taste. You were obviously not pandering to mine however. |
Sinternet
12.02.23 | cleary not lol! all good, i did stop trying to appeal to people about halfway through and just went fuck it why not and chucked anything up |
PitchforkArms
12.05.23 | This was extremely fun, ya'll :) 'grats to the winner and podium placers!! |
