Walrus - here we go again - The scoring

Green&Red · 21-04-2020 10:17PM

In 4th place Perfume Genius - Mr Peterson

I'd never heard of the song or artist, really liked this. "It's quite short and has a deceptively pretty melody but tells a rather bleak story" - damn right it does - a teacher trading weed for BJs

7 points for Homer J

Green&Red · 21-04-2020 10:19PM

In 10th place - Slint - Good Morning, Captain

I'm afraid I just didn't get this

Delighted to get third place in both rounds, and glad The Monkees were appreciated (as they always should be).

That was a great round - loved all of those songs.

Likewise, delighted with my placings. I fear it's all going to go to sh*t after this.

And I love The Monkees, they were a criminally underrated band.

Ah well, knew my song was a risk. But it's an amazing song if it clicks with you.

Its an allusion to the poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

Quite good that, reminds me a bit of Everlast.

Green&Red · 22-04-2020 09:24PM

No rush, take all the time you need...

Green&Red · 29-04-2020 07:58PM

Right in 7th Place - Rhiannon Giddens & Francesco Turrisi - Gonna Write Me A Letter

This is very similar to Otis Taylor - Nasty Letter, its at the end of Public Enemies, and its all I could think about

4 points for Irish Aris

Green&Red · 29-04-2020 08:01PM

Sorry should have said this is the country/folk round

In 6th Milk Carton Kids: White Girl

This song could easily have been in the story round, I liked it

5 points for The Purple Tin

Green&Red · 29-04-2020 08:03PM

In 8th place The Low Anthem - To Ohio

Nice song, I'd prefer something more upbeat but still a good pick

3 points for Deleted User

Green&Red · 29-04-2020 08:05PM

In 5th place and old favourite Mary Black - No Frontiers

Would have scored higher only I know it so well, great song

6 points for Trigger

Green&Red · 29-04-2020 08:09PM

In 9th place Rodriguez - Like Janis

Bit of Dylan about this, can't say I loved it

2 points for ShaneU

Green&Red · 29-04-2020 08:10PM

in 4th place Little Big Town - Boondocks

This is exactly the kinda red neck music I like, good choice

7 points for Also Starring LeVar Burton

Green&Red · 29-04-2020 08:12PM

In 10th place Charles Manson - Look At Your Game Girl

I thought I was going to love this song when it started but the chorus grated on me

1 point for Reberetta, sorry!

Green&Red · 29-04-2020 08:13PM

Since there's no one around I'll take a break before the top 3

phatkev · 29-04-2020 08:15PM

I was enjoying the quick fire posts!

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 29-04-2020 09:06PM

Wahoo, another 7 points! Sweet!

Green&Red · 29-04-2020 10:25PM

Right in 3rd place - Speed of the Sound of Loneliness - Alabama 3

There is another version of this that sounds like the sopranos soundtrack but once I found the right song I loved it, great combination of band and song

8 points for Zaph

Green&Red · 29-04-2020 10:27PM

In second place - The Breeders - Drivin On 9

Definitely stretching the boundary of folk but this is a great tune, very catchy, really, really liked it

Incidentally 9 points for Osh

Green&Red · 29-04-2020 10:28PM

Which means PhatKev takes his second top spot and another 10 points

I really thought that I was on shaky ground for this round, so glad you liked it. I probably like the other version you mentioned a bit more, but this is a great acoustic version.
