    That'll be one long category reveal 😂

    Still, count me in 😋

    2026: 'This is where something better begins'

    Why thank you ☺️.

    I knew that song wouldn't do well but I like it's witchyness.

    & I like when it comes on in my playlists because it calms me down a bit from when I get a bit too excited listening to the heavier stuff 🤪.

    They're both stunning too so I like the video

    Halloween was a great round!

    @Necro common mistake with Rockwell, but that's because Jacko sings that one line on the chorus that everyone remembers about the song.

    The songs that most caught my attention (again, outside of the classics - MJ etc):

    -Goldengirl's Echo and the Bunnymen: an absolute classic.

    -Leg End Reject's Citizens of Halloweentown: The Nightmare Before Christmas!!

    -Arghus' Henry Cowell: very avant garde, almost atonal, really intrigued by the sound of the string/prepared piano.

    -ShaneU's Misfits: just on the right side of the punk rock that I like.

    -Kolido's Dokken: remember them vaguely from the 80s hair rock phase, but never listened to them in detail.

    -jluv's Rocky Horror Picture Show: what a great musical!

    -Electric Nitwit's Arab Strap: great song and a band that I need to search more and

    -SineadSpears' Motionless In White: proper goth/industrial rock. Definitely one to search further, if the vocals are clean/not distorted, a band that could be in my playlists for years to come.

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

    Excellent Walrus Necro. Thanks for running it. Glad I've introduced you to a new Halloween song. It's completely silly but it's a good one. I'm happy enough with a mid table showing.

    Thanks so much to @Necro for all the work put into this!

    Congrats @ShaneU and @Electric Nitwit . I'm super happy with third after my serious gaff on the nonsensical round 🤗

    Really enjoyed it and looking forward to the next one @ShaneU 😜

    This should have been my first pick.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,727 ✭✭✭✭Deja Boo


    Maybe the spooner and the winner should collaborate on a walrus, like a 'He Said, She Said' battle :D

    I only saw this now 🙈 congratulations again Shane and thanks Necro

    I'm happy with 8th

    Hey I've already done at least three of these! Happy for the Spooner to do it 😂

    I was like: who's the spooner?

    Oh yeah...

    Yeah, I'd totally do a Walrus, if no-one else is dying to do it.

    I am prepared to grab the 'rus by the tusks.

    Well, if there's no objections I'm happy enough to take up the mantle?

    Yes, go ahead Arghus.

    I think you were about to host one a few years ago, but Vanilla happened...

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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 15,925 ✭✭✭✭Arghus


    I actually was, but then vanilla happened and everything was lost.
