Iron Heart Forum Music League

@GraemeE can we get a ear-destroyer round? Where we upvote the worst of worst shit that people can find..

[ARNC]

@T4920 would this be for stuff that is just bad (quality-wise), noise, or music that so nasty (content-wise) you need a shower after listening to it?

[T4920]

@ARNC I'd be happy for that to be left open to interpretation haha, but if that round existed I'd probably submit one disgusting piece of harsh noise, and one truly awful song from a thematic standpoint.

Keeps thing fresh!

[GraemeE]

@T4920 I'm up for it
I could go for both an ear punisher round as well as one for soul punishers.....

I added you as an admin if you want to make it happen

[GraemeE]

Hopefully no offense is taken by anyone in addiction recovery but I added a dope fiend category.
Personal well being aside , i feel like no genre of music (or art in general) is untouched by the creative genius of people who were high out of their gourd.

[Matt]

No offense taken. I’ve yet to participate in this league without some “emotional assistance.”

[AdamJ]

@goosehd I had that issue for a while, kept getting the "someone is trying to login from [location], is this you?"

Was usually Turkey or Pakistan for some reason, must be after my awesome playlists.

We use 1Password at work which is a gamechanger for secure pw's instead of using your pets name or such

Enjoying this Slow Burners playlist. Really like the Fishmans track/album(!), never come across them before and feels like a great discovery.

[T4920]

@jerkules wait until you the live version of LONG SEASON.

Lights off, eyes closed (and a touch of chemical enhancement if you're that way inclined) and it'll take you on an obsolete odyssey.

In fact the whole live show where it was recorded is essential listening, it's my favourite background music for a chilled vibe.

[GraemeE]

@jerkules Same here - entirely new to me
I dig

[Tago Mago]

My downvote for Layla is solely based on Clapton being famous for 30 years when his unplugged album was released. That and also Layla is one of his signature songs imo

[SKT]

Enjoyed that playlist guys. Time constraints, however, are gonna force me to bow out of this for now. Have fun leaguers!

[Matt]

I think same here. It’s moving a bit fast for me. Have fun everyone!

[ARNC]

@skt @Matt we’ll miss your contributions. I’ll try to keep up for as long as I can – should be easier with slightly shorter playlists

[jerkules]

@T4920 nice one man it’s really good stuff! And does NOT sound nearly 30 years old…

[chrisjohnnick]

ha think I misunderstood the "slowburn" category. oh well. on to the next round!

[GraemeE]

@chrisjohnnick I know that clapton bashing Is all the rage these days but I honestly don't mind him (the music that is, his beliefs maybe not so much...)

I just had to choose 1 down vote and since he stole george harrisons love interest back in the day I had to go with him

[T4920]

Awesome to see Sunn O))) make the playlist. I've been trying to find the right time to submit Between Slepnir's Breaths from Life Metal, but the right moment hasn't arisen yet... Almost was a 'guilty pleasure' in the last league, but I realized I have no guilt about loving drone metal (but maybe a little guilt about forcing my ex to listen to it as 'relaxing bedtime music'...)

[GraemeE]

@T4920 I mean this in a good natured way (giving you shit) but do you see any correlation between the "ex" status of that relationship and playing drone metal as relaxing bedtime music??

[T4920]

@GraemeE quite possibly, but I have no regrets.
