Desert Island Album Game III: Rules and Sign-up Thread

[LemonMelon]

We have to do cover art, too?

No...but you can if you wish. And a paragraph describing your playlist and what it means to you, which is also optional.

 

[corianderstem]

Oh, I can write my butt off. But I can't do cover art.

I'm glad it's optional, or I'd just bow my ass out now.

(But we'll see.)

 

[Screwtape2]

I'm already making my tracklist for Desert Island IV.

I have an idea for my next playlist but you will all think that I have lost my mind.

 

[LemonMelon]

Oh, I can write my butt off. But I can't do cover art.

Enjoy.

 

[Axver]

I realize that Axver is running this game and he makes the decisions but my thoughts are... no matter how un-serious somebody appears to be, if they comply with the rules, they should be allowed. Just my 2 cents.

Look, here's the deal. If MDM can submit a serious tracklist prior to all the spots being taken, even if it's just a tentative one that they are more than welcome to revise prior to the deadline, then they can compete.

Otherwise, hell no.

 

[corianderstem]

Ha!

Considering my mood and theme so far, I should just make a page of either or and call it a day.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

is it too late to sign up?

 

[LMP]

My cover is just a photoshopped screenshot of a great movie.

I'm sure if you read through the last Prog Island thread, you'd know which one it would be.

 

[Zoots]

Look, here's the deal. If MDM can submit a serious tracklist prior to all the spots being taken, even if it's just a tentative one that they are more than welcome to revise prior to the deadline, then they can compete.

Sounds fair enough!

Btw, I'm totally loving this exercise of choosing the perfect songs and putting them at the perfect moments on the album.

 

[LemonMelon]

Here's mine:

I went kind of an artsy film noir kind of thing.

Agreed.

 

[Screwtape2]

is it too late to sign up?

Nope! You're in!

We will all know the wrath of Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!

 

[Axver]

is it too late to sign up?

Nope, you're in!

I'm glad you're in again.

 

[corianderstem]

Man, iTunes makes this so easy.

I'm having so much fun already ... I can't believe it took me this long to get with the program and get in on this!

 

[LemonMelon]

Nope, you're in!

I'm glad you're in again.

Me too. I like to see familiar faces.

I feel less special since there are soooo many newbies this time.

 

[corianderstem]

Khanada, I'm having a hard time fitting my favorite Duran Duran song in my playlist ... can I count on you to slip some into your playlist?

 

[LMP]

Nope! You're in!

We will all know the wrath of Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

Nope! You're in!

We will all know the wrath of Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!

awesome! i didn't read the thread so i'm just now reading all the requirements i just saw there was another one and was like crap...i need to sign up!

and that always cracks me up!

Nope, you're in!

I'm glad you're in again.

thanks!

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

Khanada, I'm having a hard time fitting my favorite Duran Duran song in my playlist ... can I count on you to slip some into your playlist?

of course! although i don't listen to them as much as i used to

 

[Axver]

Nope! You're in!

We will all know the wrath of Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!

OK, I admit, you folk have used this multiple times before and I totally don't get what the hell you're on about.

Oi! What's with all this consideration for Dew (who is lovely btw) and none for me? I followed the rules better than a lot of the good participants from previous island games did when submitting tracks.

Look, here's the deal. If MDM can submit a serious tracklist prior to all the spots being taken, even if it's just a tentative one that they are more than welcome to revise prior to the deadline, then they can compete.

Otherwise, hell no.

Axver, if you wave the excuse of someone having a little fun with album covers as that participant not being able to follow the rules to a T, you're a douchebag.

Sorry I'm not trying to roll my life experience into a pretentious, 2+ hour long playlist, but I did everything asked in the first post

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

btw (since two posts in a row isn't enough!) if anyone needs me to update the first post with anything, let me know

 

[corianderstem]

It was "(Reach Up For the)Sunrise" but you know what? It just didn't fit. Ditto a Madonna song I wanted to use, but damn her for making all those tracks flow into each other on her last album. That is not helpful to me, Madge!

(I'm picturing everyone in the game cowering in terror now at the thought of what the hell kind of tracklisting I'm making. )

I'm strangely curious to see what Pla can come up with.

 

[Axver]

Axver, if you wave the excuse of someone having a little fun with album covers as that participant not being able to follow the rules to a T, you're a douchebag.

I haven't said a thing about the album covers, so I've no idea what you're on about there.

It's just that you are notoriously the joker of the forum. I can't remember the last time I saw you make a post that was fully serious. Your posts are typically ridiculous or piss-takes or both. What do you expect me to do, refuse to let someone who genuinely wants to compete so that you can take the piss out of the game?

Now, this isn't to say I have any sort of problem with you. I actually find a lot of what you post to be funny. It's just that I believe people who genuinely want to play should receive preference.

It's from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

Kirk's old nemesis Khan has come back to kill Kirk and take the Genesis Device. After taking said device, Khan taunts Kirk through a communicator and Kirk loses it and goes:

"KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN"

then there's a shot the planet with the "KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN" echoing.

It's classic Shatner.

 

[Canadiens1131]

I'm not taking the piss out of anything. Must all playlists be life-affirming, meaningful, teary-eyed treacle?

Anyway I actually went through the trouble of making my (to be submitted) two discs easily listenable in iTunes, which is more than most of the regulars can figure out....
