@IH-GARY Gonna be hard to resist the temptation to get some harsh noise music into the mix, or a 10 minute drone metal monolith

[goosehd]

Three songs really stood out to me and grabbed my attention:

1. Summer Breeze
2. Evil
3. Supernaut

All 3 of them are new to me and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to them. Thank you for the new introductions

[T4920]

@Alex I Know The End might be my favourite closing track of all time!

[jerkules]

Great round, although surprised “Lost in Music” by The Fall didn’t prove more popular! Something about Mark E Smith covering Sister Sledge just makes me smile. Should’ve gone with my first choice which was “Changes” by Charles Bradley.

Instrumentals round is quite difficult, so much to chose from but hard to think of something that makes direct impact!

[Nocturama]

I stuck with my original choices in the end - my third and fourth choices were Nirvana (different song, same album) and the Futureheads track. What might have been…
Anyway, I’ve dialled in the audience now, so will be headed straight to zero votes in the next round! 🫣

[ARNC]

As I missed the first round, here’s one that you would have had. My other choice might give away my plans for a future round so I’ll keep it to myself!

The original post at the top of this thread has been updated with the Round 1: Covers results. Great round folks! On to Round 2: Instrumentals.

@GraemeE storm crossed my mind as a potential pick

That was actually the song I was thinking of as well

[chrisjohnnick]

done and done again. Also noticed after submitting the first round that you have the option to change your submissions before the due date. Might think it over for the next day or so and see if anything else comes to mind.

I’ve already changed my instrumentals 3 or 4 times. It’s a tough one

[Mizmazzle]

This is a really tough one! Went with a classic and a possibly more obscure option.

[mclaincausey]

I was tortured about the obscure option because I love Panic so much. I think unfamiliarity of some of the other cuts won the day!

[GraemeE]

A friend sent me this link a few days ago - choosing songs for this game just further drives the point home for me.....

That’s really funny

[goosehd]

Has anyone else picked songs for every week/theme?

[Matt]

Haven’t even started thinking yet. I’ll have a drink tonight and get into it.

[Mizmazzle]

@GraemeE add in the “and skate everyday for 8 hours” and this perfectly sums it all up. (Minus the 15k debt. Course IH ain’t helping that situation much hahah)

[mclaincausey]

I picked mine, but they already have changed once and probably will again.

[Tago Mago]

I'm just gonna pick whatever pops into my head without dwelling on it too much. Also, getting the submissions in nice and early guarantees that nobody else will steal my pick, however unlikely that may be

[mclaincausey]

^^Both great points
