Hell For Certain, Kentucky Superthread

Easy there. You won't actually compete with it. It will be a funny joke but you can't use it for real.

I'll probably wuss out and just use the first paragraph, but the story will be posted in my journal for future generations.

Except for the part where I say he can. It meets all the rules.

The songs aren't real.

wow...no state's residents use more energy than tennesseeans. tennessee ftl.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

See, the reason I began using LJ posts for extended detail was to avoid cluttering the posts here. Not enough people have followed suit.

like me?

The songs aren't real.

Yes they are - or they will be.

The only requirement is that they be officially released - and that has included MySpace releases. Pure Reason Revolution's Victorious Cupid has been used. Once he puts the songs on MySpace, it meets the rules and it's in.

The artists aren't real though. I will oppose this.

 

[coolian2]

Anyone can be an artist.

I might make my own official release for my DI playlist.

It's created by human beings, for human beings. It's all very real, and the artists are entirely legit. How more legit can you get than having the songs available for purchase on myspace?

Too bad. I wrote the rules, so I think I know what I meant when I wrote them, and this meets both letter and spirit of them.

And by your logic, we better disqualify every Porcupine Tree song, and in fact anything involving Steven Wilson. After all, Porcupine Tree began as a joke band - astonishingly similar to this scenario, actually. Every release up to Up The Downstair was Steven Wilson taking the piss, making music to accompany the legend of a mythical seventies prog band he created. He never expected Porcupine Tree to become what it is today.

Exactly. And wouldn't it be surreal if one of these songs were to inadvertently become a hit on myspace?

I don't care if I have to make an EP for each one of these artists and make it available for purchase. I'll do it.

I just about added a sentence along the lines of "who knows where LM could go with this"!

EPs would be awesome, especially for the first two bands.

And now I must run off to uni as I'm late already. See you folk in three hours.

Well you are wrong. I will not let LemonMelon's entry compete. Last time I checked Phanan and I were running it not you. When that happened the rules became a matter of what we believed them to mean. It is up to Phanan and I. Not you.

I knew you'd like the EP idea. That would solve the issue of what songs to put on the band's player.

But you're not running the competition anymore. You gave up that responsibility when you quit the forum a month ago.

Popping in for a second:

What's the harm in letting his list in? It'll put some fun into what's turning into a super-serious competition. Don't get me wrong, I love being a part of it, but there's nothing wrong with a joke.

I'm not letting you compete. It can be a joke but it will go no further.

Because it is against the rules. I think pretending that is his list until everyone gives it a listen is fine. After that he has to have a serious playlist to compete.

Popcorn, stat!

I would presume that the state of mind involved in submitting the list, whether it be deadly serious or otherwise is irrelevant.

What if it has good flow, cohesion, and lacks greatest hits?

He can have whatever intention he wants but if the artists aren't real it is against the rules.

 

[LemonMelon]

I have no further comment, as no more can be said at this juncture. I will say, however, that you will let me into that tournament, and you won't even think twice about it when the time comes.

But thanks for the input, Screwtape. Always appreciated.

What makes an artist real? The rules state than an official release via Myspace makes something eligible, as far as i understand.

Laugh now but you are not getting into the tournament.

So I take it you'd highly recommend the viewing of TWBB, LMP?
