Ecto's Walrus Reveal

Ectoplasm

So I should be good to get going in about an hour on this one. Must feed myself first.

Ectoplasm

Feel free to talk amongst yourselves in the meantime.

I must say I do like my entry for the first category here.

Though will Ecto like it? Nervous.com

Is it a story about Sally waiting, knowing it's too late?

Try not to take it personally if a song you submitted comes last, despite how much it really really hurts.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

That yours will be first out.

Like most, I generally only submit songs I like. So it’d be a bit disappointing but not a big deal. Just different tastes

Necro

There was really only one answer for this first one anyways tbh

I dont expect anyone has similar tastes to me

I was just gonna throw on some music for the evening and remembered this. Looking forward to the songs and stories to come.

Electric Nitwit

Ah, The River by Bruce has just come on, why didn't I enter that?!

Green&Red

Ecto, I thought the way Rikkand did his last reveal was excellent, keeping the top three and the bottom three until last

I didn't :cool:

Twas absolute torture :pac:

osh

That was just one round he did that wasn’t it?

Ectoplasm

Ready to get started. If I make a mess of it, I'm blaming someone else.

Category One was Tell Me a Story and it proved really difficult to judge. I had a process where I wrote down my first impressions then after I listened to each song for a bit and then finally my decision. That led to a bunch of tied songs so I added in a novelty bonus to help sort them out. If your song was brand new to me the chances are it did better than those I was super familiar with but that mostly helped with sorting those lumped together.

My top 5 were probably the easiest to select but (unfortunately) there weren't too many that I really didn't like.

Right so. Drumroll please...

That's all well and good for Rikand with his fancy ways. :pac:

Tonight will be a straight run... if I can manage that without breaking boards, we'll see about shiny reveals :P

Mollyb60

I am so ready

Are you posting the stories too? I'm here for a good story .

OMG I thought I missed it! Yes I made it just in time

Ectoplasm

In 19th place we have a song which sadly suffers from the fact that a friend of mine learned to play it on guitar and hasn't STFU with it since. I'm sad to say that I've heard this one butchered by a load of drunk people at one too many house parties for it to have stood any chance...

So, the very first point of the game goes to:

LadySkunk

tusk

Was a beast when it came out. people just way overplayed it.

LadySkunk

Woooooo last place!

Damn it...I meant to include this in my opening post. Not everyone wanted their stories shared so I thought it might be fun if the person who posted it wanted to share if they felt like it - make it a bit more interactive?

Oh no. Bad timing Miss Skunk.

I love that song tbh

I don’t think I understood the concept of this question

Was it not that the song told a story?

Necro

But also, until the next song is revealed..

FIRST place

Ectoplasm

This next song, while new to me, just didn't do it for me. I really like her voice but I didn't love the lyrics at all and despite listening to it a lot, it never grew on me.

Artist: Marina
Song: To Be Human

2 Points go to:

Clarabel

Necro

Oh Clara I like that!

You did. And it did. Unfortunately my mate has killed this song dead for me. You're a victim of circumstance here.

Mollyb60

Ooooh never heard this before but I LOVE it!

Ohhh no I wasn’t contesting my score, I just got embarrassed thinking I didn’t get it :P

Clara I like that song too!!

Electric Nitwit

That Fray song is odd, after all these years I still don't know if I love it or hate it!

It's the lead singer dude, his warbling can get a bit annoying in other songs but for me it just works in that one

LadySkunk

How long will the reveal go on actually if we’re going through every song(not that I’m complaining)? Just curious

quickbeam

Am feeling strangely anxious

I’m here. What was this category again?
