JerusaWalrus - Necro's Easter Eggstravangaza Reveal Thread

Necro

Hi everyone and welcome to one of the biggest Walruses of all time... well entrants wise anyways.

28 of you souls have sent me on music to be judged and ranked in order of my own preference this bank holiday weekend.

Over the next 4 days (ok so maybe this isn't so 'Quickfire' - I ADMIT IT EN!!) we will run through the categories and hopefully it will be a nice distraction from well... not being able to do anything else really at the moment.





So our four categories were as follows:


1. Good Friday Feeling - Strutting out of work without a care in the world with a weekend ahead of me - send me on a track that gives you that Friday Feeling!!

2. Slow Saturday - Saturday is the day I always earmark for chilling out and taking it easy. Some nice relaxing music to set the tone is in order here, be that a croony love song or an anthem of power...

3. Easter Sunday - Simple enough, give me an Easter themed song! Be that a song about eggs, chocolate or even something religious that you really like!

4. Manic Monday - We all get the Monday Blues at times - particularly on a bank holiday weekend with the fear of work looming on the horizon on Tuesday morning. Send me on an entry that will cure my Monday-itis, something to get my blood pumping and chase those blues away!



It all kicks off tomorrow in the early afternoon with that GOOD FRIDAY FEELING!!


So get comfy, feel free to chat away about whatever you like and I'll be with you all very very soon

Good Friday Feeling

So we all have felt it, that moment when you get up from your office chair (or various other forms of work) and strut to your car/jet/hovercraft/Luas heading home for the weekend. Here’s a few tracks that give me that feeling…..

Bit of variance up there


Welcome to our new players, and of course our Walrus veterans, great to have you all on board. As always, don’t fret too much about your placement, it’s only my opinion – and everyone else says that’s sh1te so it’s probably not too bad of a thing if you don’t do well :P


See you all in the afternoon for the reveal of your entries to that Good Friday Feeling

Electric Nitwit

Wow, haven't heard Freestyler for years!

fixXxer

In work and ready.

BRING ME YOUR BAD CHOICES

Funnily enough neither had I, but when I was throwing together what I'd select if I was entering it was one of the first that came to mind for me.

Brilliant tune. Used to listen to it regularly but not heard it in a while now, going back on my daily playlist.

In other news, doesn't look good for my Friday pick!

I really have no expectations of doing well in this. My excuse wlll be I am new and didn't know what to expect. I will just sit back and be judgemental about the rest of you and be surprised you didn't choose better.
(Pretty much like Necro)

No, you've misunderstood, we're not here to judge each other, we're all here to judge Necro

Ah! Well that makes it even more fun.
If I had known that I would have changed my picks.

I dunno how I feel. I originally had Shake It Off as my nomination, but changed it last minute before I entered!

Wonder how your actual entry will go... you weren't alone in last minute changes of course


AMIRITE Seph :pac:

Necro

Kicking off at 2pm folks, got write ups done a bit earlier than I expected

Couple of thoughts before we get going.....

Loved this round. Pretty much all songs were great, so it became a very difficult round in terms of ranking, and I just had to go on which suited the category that little bit better in my own humble opinion.

I would say this is my favourite round of Walrus category I've judged on personally... though currently Sunday's showing is giving it a run for it's money in that regard too - but more on that later.

Also....


Just the single duplicate in this round – actually in the entire game, so well done all!!


Which means I had to listen and rank.... 111 songs across the four categories!!!!!



So are y'all ready for that Good Friday Feeling??






See you all at 2pm

the purple tin

Let's hop to it Necs :pac:

Ok so some Walruses start somewhere in the middle and go in alternating order.... I do things a little differently.


In this one we're going straight up the table from 25th place to 4th, leaving the top and bottom 3 positions to sweat it out as is custom

KathleenGrant

It's quite early....eyes up bottle of wine...is it too early?

cee_jay

It's after midday, I'm sure it is happy hour somewhere Kathleen!

Ari101

M People – Renaissance

It’s not that this is a bad track, quite the opposite, I really enjoyed it. This round was really tough to rank because so many of the tracks were absolutely on point with the theme, and brilliant tracks to boot. Unfortunately, this one falls a little short of the others in what would give me that Friday Feeling. And so here we are. Soz Ari!

Hillybilly4

Love M People and that track - thanks for the reminder of it!

KathleenGrant

That's a great song!

Necro

In 24th place with 6 points

Mam of 4

Joe Jackson – Steppin Out

I really like this choice, I can vibe it especially heading straight out of the office and into the town… when that used to be a thing. Nice choice and one I would not necessarily have thought about myself when it comes to a Friday Feeling – but it absolutely works!

1. Are you working? If yes, proceed to question 2. If no, the only question should be do you need a corkscrew?

2. If you are working are you a) working on your employer's premises?; or b) working from home?
If a) - maybe some vodka in your coffee mug might be a little more inconspicuous.
If b) - do you need a corkscrew?

Necro

In 23rd place with 7 points

Sephiroth_dude

Casiopea – Eyes of the Mind

Oh Seph, Seph this is a decent track but your original entry was so much better. Didn’t think I’d be vibing the instrumentals but these guys are infectiously fun. But I had the original highly ranked after one or two listens and this one just fell short of my lofty expectations for these lads.



Here’s the original submission btw – I just feel this was a much better fit for the round and could very well have topped this category, definitely would have cracked the top 10. But, c’est la vie.

If 2(a), get yourself one of these and they can't say you didn't say anything!

This is a great song! I have heard it, but would have be hard pressed to say what it was called, or who it was by! Great choice.

Ooh they're new to me! Will check them out more later.

Barney92

Hamilton Cast – Non-Stop

This entry inspired me to watch the production on Disney Plus last night – what a phenomenal show. I think ‘My Shot’ would have been a bit more suitable for this round if I’m honest, this one isn’t giving me that ‘Friday Feeling’ per se. It’s still good mind, just suffers in the rankings as a result.



Speaking of musicals btw, you have less than an hour to get your entry into cee_jay’s Alphabet Sheep – Musicals….. GO GO GO

Love this.

Barna77

Salt-N-Pepa - Shoop

I do like me some Salt N Pepa, can picture myself cruising down O’Connell Street in Sligo listening to this in a Cadillac convertible… for about 5 minutes before I get soaked to the skin and catch my death of cold :P Nice choice.

Necro

In 20th place with 10 points

Rikand

Mat Zo (Feat Linnea Schossow) - The Sky

This one is kind of hard to put into words, I like dance and house tracks that crescendo upwards and then explode in a massive release like some sort of musical ejaculation (patent pending) but this one never really got there. It’s still good, I was just a bit let down by the end if I’m honest.

KathleenGrant

Sligo? Of all the random places:D

These are just great, the top ten must be amazing!

Hillybilly4

Hang on! Is this Paint? I see a suicide parachutist!

Electric Nitwit

Won't be able to listen until later but it does look like a good list, great variety too

speckle

wow crazy cool visuals in that one Rikand.

Necro

In 19th Place with 11 points

Bubblypop

Jefferson Airplane – Somebody To Love

We go back in time and arrive at a bloody classic. The chorus of this is absolutely banging and right on point with what I think of when it comes to that Friday Feeling. Anyone else picture the babies skydiving onto yer wan's breasts in the dance version of this nowadays though? Just me then

Lindemann – Skills in Pills

I like the overbearing guitars kicking us off, they’re very menacing. Not sure I’m massively gone on the guys voice mind. The chorus saves it here as he’s very growly, almost rasping in the verses but brings it back into a… relatively normal pitch, and it's bloody great.
