Iron Heart Forum Music League

[ARNC]

@T4920 I’m with you on this. You can plan submissions in advance but not the listening/voting.

[mclaincausey]

Agreed--unless we decide to move to one song submissions?

[goosehd]

...but if you're doing 2 day submission plus 3 or 4 days listening, you're looking at 5 to 6 days and you're no further ahead than you are now. @chrisjohnnick How have the other leagues handled theirs?

[Tago Mago]

I think it would improve if we go with 2 days for submission and 3 days for voting. Add the "Speedy - Playlists and voting results can arrive early, round deadlines adjust accordingly" feature and the league should move faster. Just my two cents

[T4920]

@goosehd if I'm not mistaken our current submission window alone is 7 days? Voting is probably the same?

I think 5/6 days is an acceptable time frame per round as opposed to the 14ish we have currently.

As I also deleted my spotify account due to 2 notices of the site being compromised, my opinion doesn't much matter. The driving reason for me to exit though, was the pace was painfully slow.

It's a great idea and I hope you guys figure out something that works for all of you.

@Alex yes I'm out

[SKT]

Thanks to whomever picked “Fetch the Bolt Cutters” One of my favorite songs off of one of my favorite lockdown albums

[endo]

now that‘s a cool playlist

[SKT]

What he said ^

[GraemeE]

For the record I was just being a smart ass about the round dragging on .
Definitely didn't want to call anyone out

Also may or may not have been trying to provoke inappropriate comments about fictional cartoons characters....

[endo]

found this really hard, so many good songs of great women.

only missed this, so therefore here as a bonus track

[endo]

well, and anything from this wonderful lady

[jerkules]

@endo forgot about Amy. “Love is a losing game” one of my all time favourites

[Matt]

Honestly the women artists round could be repeated and be just as good of a playlist.

[T4920]

And on we go! How are y'all defining obscurity? I went with any artist below 20k monthly listeners on Spotify, but it's obviously a subjective term...

[T4920]

@SKT mine too! The opening track is one of my favourite songs of all time, but I thought the title track was more 'powerful' for this round.

[ARNC]

@T4920 I didn't go by stats, just artists I thought people wouldn't know and (importantly) I think are worth hearing. As it happens, one choice is around 21K and the other less than 2k, so I get a compensatory pass! I decided to spare you the artist with only 28 monthly listeners!

Really looking forward to this round!

[T4920]

@ARNC I have one with 910, I saw them perform in a practically empty pub once but one of their songs stuck with me, and became a certified classic amongst my friend group.

[Giles]

I did not join this because I could not commit the time, but I have the covers playlist playing a lot.

Had I selected a track, this would have been it.....
