Lets get ready to WALRUS!!!!!
What is walrus you might be asking yourself ? Walrus is a music judging based game invented by Vasily "Walrus" Jones, an early 1800's crippled pirate of welsh-russian decent who spent a part of his life stranded off the coast of Canada with nobody but a few Walrus for company. They laughed, they cried, they sang songs and the rated each others effort for nothing more than the sheer joy of it!
A little bit about my musical preferences. As most of you know, I'm pretty keen on dance/electronic music but I love pretty much all music. Rap/R&B/hiphop can be a risk when submitted to me, but on the occasion when it hits the mark with me, it tends to really hit the mark! I'd generally prefer anything over it though in particular Rock/Alternative. But I also like folk, classical, pop, lots of stuff. My taste is pretty broad
The reason I do walrus is to discover new music. Who doesnt love the classics, but its new music I love to hear most of all. Dont be put off by submitting something well known to you if you want to use it to introduce me to an artist/ band. Like Haitian Divorce was submitted to me in a category before which i didnt like, but then I listened to more Steely Dan stuff and I actually really quite enjoyed listening to them. I had never listened to them before and it was great to get an introduction I would never have otherwise bothered with.
For a look at my previous walrus reveal in the hope it provide some inspiration for you, you can view it here ::

Deeper explanations of the cats if needed ?
1. No further explanation needed imo. Anything that makes you happy because who needs more depression in a lockdown!
2. If you like a song that reminds you of morning time, then submit that. If you like a song that reminds you of evening time, then submit that. If you like a song that reminds you of the 3pm slump in the office, then submit that. Whatever works for you
- Though maybe include which time of day you are submitting your song for if you feel it might help my judgement of it
3. i always have music playing when im in the shower. its usually electronic, so it's usually something I am humming along to or grooving to, but I'm not adverse to singing too
i will be listening to these suggestions when im in the shower at least once.
4. Whatever sounds ethereal or spiritual to you or reminds you of those topics
5. I love fantasy stuff! I'm a massive Lord of the Rings fanboi. I've read the book countless times and seen the movies about 10 times more than that. I love fantasy stuff and the music that is often produced for fantasy films is incredible. I'm not particularly looking for soundtracks or anything like that here. Just something that makes you think fantasy when you hear it.... whatever that fantasy song is for you
6. There's a few obvious ones out there where a quote from a movie is sampled into a song or a song where the singer sings a line that was straight out of a movie and I'm not going to mind if people go for the obvious ones here too much. It's a tricky category I think. But as usual if you give me something more unusual that is also brilliant, you'll do better than the obvious ones
7.
https://taylorswift.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Taylor_Swift%27s_ex-boyfriends - I think this is almost all of them. So as long as the song is either about one of these guys is a song sung by one of these guys or is a song containing the first, last or full name of these guys, I will accept it
- My knowledge of Taylor Swift herself is pretty low outside of the hit singles.
8. Whether you are playing Werewolf, Walrus, Sheep, Codenames, In/Out(remember in/out?), whatever if there is a song in particular you like to listen to while doing these things, i want to hear it
PM your selections to me and list each category as Artist Name - Artist Title - Youtube link(preferred) and Description of why you chose/like the song(optional).
Signups open until the 19/3/21 - so thats 2 weeks to get entries in which i think is enough time
- No limit on number of entries
If you have any questions, ask in thread :cool:
Good Luck!
