    I have Arghus and suvigirls entries and I'm going to close signups at that. 21 is a lot more than I expected 😂

    But I'll start listening straight away and aim to have first round scored and written up by next week! The rest well we will see. It's a lot to get through in one evening for holding folks attention so I'll probably do a round a night

    Just compiled all the playlists and having a listen to the first category now.

    Some of them… hmmm…

    😂

    I must say from even looking at the playlist the Confessions category is shaping up nicely. Is there any preference in the order that I do the reveal?

    Whatever is easier for you Necro. I just hope to discover some great new music.

    I guess either from bottom to top or start from the middle and expand both ways? I liked the whole suspense of who's top 3 and who's bottom 3 in the end of the reveal, although from bottom to top is easier to manage.

    Upcoming gigs and events: Cardinals, David Byrne, VNV Nation, Lord Of The Lost, Dry Cleaning, The Shawshank Redemption, These Charming Men, Sasha Velour, Disorder Festival, The Cure, Garbage, Olafur Arnalds, Cabaret Voltaire

    Yeah I think that's how I'll structure it with the bottom 3 and top 3 left in suspense to discover their fate ... 😂

    Ha ha, I'll take the nonsense round then 😉

    You'll like it, I'd say it's in the right ballpark for you and Tauriel. Necro I'm not quite so sure... 🤣

    I might have underplayed the nonsensical lyrics one and I think Necro will hate the one I have on repeat.

    I hope Trigger's confession is a Meatloaf song.

    I can confirm it's a 75 min compilation of Meatloafs greatest hits rolled into one song...

    Well shucks. I've had a bit of a wild few years. But maybe I'll be able to pay more attention to FG again these days. Tbh it just completely disappeared from my consciousness 🫠

    Ok I'm well on top of this somehow so will pencil in the first category reveal for next Friday evening from 7-7.30ish. I'll have most of the write up done beforehand so can go as fast or as slow with the reveal as people wish.

    On Repeat

    So in this category I wanted to see what people are listening to right now. A fairly wide open category as it doesn’t have to be current or modern music. Myself I tend to stick to my fave songs list on Spotify and listen to the odd album on the side. So my choices for this would have been… interesting.

    Top 3 songs this month listened to on Spotify are…

    Houdini – Eminem

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22tVWwmTie8

    Chasing Cars – Snow Patrol

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GemKqzILV4w

    Nelly – Just A Dream

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6O2ncUKvlg

    A deeper dive and you’d be hearing nursery rhymes so erm.. we shall leave it there!

    Ok so for those new to the forum how these reveals are usually done is that we leave the top and bottom 3 until last… just to create a little suspense rather than periodically going up or down the table. And a reminder this is only my own opinion, but for the purposes of the game I guess that’s the one that matters!!

    Kicking things off with a first time entrant with a penchant for Gollllddddd

    In 18th place with 4 points in this category

    Goldengirl

    Alone – The Cure

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOvSpjgh0PA

    I’m not as massively familiar with The Cure as maybe I should be but it’s interesting how their sound has changed so much from say… Friday I’m In Love. Anyways this track was fine, didn’t set the world on fire for me unfortunately so it ended up here in the list.

    Trigger

    Last Kiss – Pearl Jam

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvjTo-hRD5c

    I don’t mind Pearl Jam, I think it was actually Trigger who submitted Dance of the Clairvoyants to a previous Walrus which I actually adore to this day but I just couldn’t find the grá for this track. The vocals didn’t match the melody.. I think a softer tone might have made this a great song but hey look, that’s only my own view.

    Any Man of Mine – Shania Twain

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N2k-gv6xNE

    A nice pleasant sounding track for sure. I prefer Shania’s ‘Country Rock’ phase of music like ‘That Don’t Impress Me Much’ etc. and this one isn’t bad per se, it’s just where it ended up when I did the scoring really.

    Kiss Me Deadly – Lita Ford

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIt3OGra3Lo

    This is another perfectly serviceable track it’s just a little… plain for me? I don’t necessarily believe Lita Ford when she tells me she went to a party on a Saturday night and got into a fight… she’s a bit clean cut for that! Definitely part of the ‘glam rock’ set down the local mind you…
