Ok, starting now Peef, and off to a good start, but once again, just remember I suck at these running diaries, heh.
Do what you can. Any input is appreciated.

Oh, and I didn't put a write-up on mine since I figured I'd just discuss it here. More likely than not, this will be the last time I throw in a list for a major tourney, or at the very least sit the next one out. It's a lot of fun, but after seeing how quickly this past sign-up filled up and listening to everyone else's stuff, it would make a lot of sense to give someone else a shot to participate in one of these, too.
Also like, in making a list, I find that I focus too much on tweaking my own and re-listening, etc... instead of enjoying everyone else's to a more equal degree.
So yeah, that's my spiel.
Yeah, I hear exactly what you're saying.
As much as I enjoyed my list and the praise it got, looking back on it, I feel like I was swayed to move towards a little more obscure tunes and shift away from my tastes just a little bit to prove some sort of point. It was working out some sort of personal validation and others at the same time. And now it's probably the list I listen to the least, ironically.
Now it's like, fuck it, here's the kitchen sink... hope you enjoy, you know?
Yes! That's pretty much how I feel. My list feels like the most random collection of music ever to me, and I absolutely love it and of course I hope others do as well, but, if they don't, oh well.
Yeah, I barely remembered the album until I went back for it, and that was the song that stuck out the most, and it fit well.
Ha, and you're going to get the same song on YLB's list, so have fun with that.
I really dig the riff in Flashing Lights.
Sent mine off to Phanan, Pfan, ElMel, Ash, and GAF.
I may just send it to Axver, for shits and giggles.

Haha, go for it.
I wasn't sure if I'd keep competing after DI V, simply because I was - and still am - really fond of my list for that edition and it would have been a good note to stop on, at least for a while. It's the only one of my lists I still listen to in full. The way I see it right now, I'll only compete if I actually have a good list. I'm not just going to keep putting my name in and hope I come up with something I think is worth submitting. Unless I really believe in what I've got, I'll leave the space open. This time around, I'm keen on my list and pretty interested to see how it fares, so I'm in.
I'm trying to think of who has competed in every edition. Is it just you and I?
Hate to toot my own horn, but the segue I've got going into "Flashing Lights" is epic. It's my El-Mel Moment.
I was going to say impy, but I think he missed one along the way. Khan, possibly? Where's the archive when you need it?
I'm curious, Peef's segue was pretty damn good.
I very much miss the archive
So you're the Anti-Screw. Good rationale though. Are you totally done with yours? I heard it's all-instrumentals.

I'm sure his will be, but prepare to jizz in your pants when you hear mine, okay? Cool.
I'm not completely finished. I have one awkward segue that I haven't resolved and a couple of others that I think work but I want to see what other people think. I'll circulate a draft of it in the coming days, once I resolve the awkward segue. Yep, it's an instrumental list, and since I'm taking a bit of a risk with that, I want to get some feedback before I submit it just to make sure it's solid.
I ... don't think I recall Khan being in the first one. If I'm not grossly mistaken, a few regulars only missed out on that very first edition.
I was going to comment on that, actually. Very much agreed.I think this list has by far my best use of U2.
Sounds good. Mine's been sent over, too.
Or people who stuck around for 1 or 2 more before jumping ship. Wasn't there also an Excel spreadsheet of this stuff up at some point?
I'm worried mine's just going to sound like a bunch of noise to everyone but me.
what kind of noise
Green Day/Dead Kennedys/Iggy Pop/punk rock noise.
sounds good in past competitions I had some screamo/hardcore stuff that people probably didn't love so much
there are only two songs on my list by bands in that category this time, and neither of the songs are the typical style of those bands, so hopefully people will be able to enjoy them.
