I don't think a blind DI would work, in terms of songs. People are going to know most of the songs, and for the ones they don't know, it wouldn't be too difficult to figure out anyway. Seems pointless to me.
Now if you are talking nameless, as Ashley stated, I'd be down for that.
As for streaming the songs online vs. actually downloading someone's playlist, I certainly understand the reasoning, although I'd argue that sometimes people use specific versions of songs in their playlists that are better suited for cohesiveness purposes that may be different than what is streamed, thereby altering one's views on it. Other times, the version streamed may not be the best sounding version available either, thus influencing one's thoughts on a playlist. But perhaps I'm overthinking things here...
Axver is out and Phanan doesn't seem all that enthused. Can I run this? Do we need someone to run this?
The only reason I'm not as into it as before is because the numbers are lower, but that doesn't look like it's going to change.
I'm perfectly willing to hand the reins over to you. I've certainly handled my share, from DI3 to DI7 and several minis, so some new blood wouldn't hurt. Just being a participant for a change would be nice. You've seemed interested for a while anyway.
I am, however, curious to know how you'll run it. You've long been a proponent of going back to polls vs. straight rankings, so I'm guessing that's one change you'd like to make, although I prefer the ranking system. With polling, you never know who is going to vote, which fluctuates the numbers, and you don't have to worry about alters. Not sure what the majority thought is on this, but I'll go by whatever the ultimate decision is.
Don't know. Anyway, I searched and found previous competitions over here to have an understanding of how it goes. I see that you don't repeat artists, which is fine. When is the sign up or whatever and who is going to conduct it? I'll be checking this space. Just don't forget about me. lol.
