Iron Heart Forum Music League

[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.....

[mclaincausey]

The playlists can really be keepers and ways to expand your horizons too! Glad you’re enjoying @Giles and love the “submission,” keep ‘em coming!

[jerkules]

Someone had already chosen one of my obscure choices! Not very obscure of me, interested to see who chose it. Won’t let the cat out the bag yet, but kudos to whoever it was.

[ARNC]

@jerkules I really hope it wasn’t me - seems unlikely but what’s obscure to one person might be common knowledge to someone else!
