I love these tournaments. They are a lot of fun. I've been on a couple forums over the years and neither of them did fun stuff like this.

I swear I was just wondering if there were any other forums that do all the tournaments, challenges and other various activities that we do. I'm so glad enough people participate that we can have tons going on at once.

Folk music is not my area of expertise, but I'm really enjoying this tournament. I've heard a bunch of new songs that I really like, and there are several songs still in the game that I'd be happy if they won, even though they're not my songs.

I've thought of a new idea for a tournament. Everyone assigns themselves a genre of music and all their nominations must fall under that. Of course, no one could have the same one and we would have to establish some sort of picking order.
I'd be interested in something like this, as long as I didn't get stuck with something like rap or heavy metal.

People would pick what they wanted. Everyone's name could be put into random.org and that could be the order everyone picks their genre so if someone ahead of you picked country you wouldn't be able to. It could even be very specific like classic folk, folk fusion, 80's alternative, 90s alternative, classic country, new country and so on.

That would be okay. I wouldn't have to get country. There are other genres that I listen to, just not as much as country. I just wouldn't want to end up with a genre that I know nothing about.

Why would it be meaningless? I think it would be even more meaningful than most other tournaments because it's harder to win against so many other great songs.
Unfortunately for me, I'm actually rooting for a couple of songs that are not my noms.

Why would it be meaningless?
Because from one perspective many of the songs are similarly great so there can be no best.

I disagree. I think there's always a "best", but it's just an opinion, so it's different for each person.

Yes. Sadly it was up against Cat Steven's "Morning Has Broken" last round, which meant that only one could move on. I'm glad that of the two in that match my (one remaining) nomination won, but it was hard to see the other one go.

Bah! Father and Son is a much better song, it's got life skills all in a few minutes. Morning Has Broken is a sweet song, but it's a hymn we sang at school and will always remain that way for me!

I prefer Morning Has Broken.
I have no association with it at school. I went through the American public school system so the singing of hymns wasn't something we did.

I have mixed feeling on this, but I really prefer to vote strictly on the link given, as if I've never heard the song before. I wanted to nominate my favorite Dylan song, Tangled Up in Blue, but I couldn't find the version I wanted. This has happened to me several times, so I just moved on to another song.
I wonder what you guys think of this version. The whole video can be seen at several other places like here (http://www.downvids.net/bob-dylan-blowing-in-the-wind-the-concert-for-bangladesh--443154.html) and here. (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xvjp65_bob-dylan-blowin-in-the-wind-live-1971_music) Now I need a few moments to decide which Dylan song to vote for, or vote against. :eek:

The Youtube links shouldn't really matter. If you mean the Bob Dylan version, the Bob Dylan version is what the song is. You can think of the Bob Dylan version if you know it. But, if you listen to the Youtube video for any reason, I think the video could affect that song's chances. I always want to use a perfect video just in case it does. A video I feel is right.
If you can't find the song on Youtube, I think it should be okay to just not link to a video at all. That's a risk, though, for the song's chances. But so is, I believe, posting a video that isn't the real song as a substitute.

I know what you mean, and I'm not saying you're wrong. I just think that you pick a link, and that's what you get, and that's what it is. It's just the perspective I have. There's literally millions of options to choose.

Even if the nominator is unaware that his song is a cover version he still selected it. Unfair to the original artist and our ears but... I've been assessing the Dylan songs as though they were the originals but now I'm not sure if that's the proper path. Maybe we can get a ruling from Godoggo.

I think if the video doesn't match what the link says it is, one of the other needs to be exchanged. If the person who nominated it wanted us to vote for the actual Bob Dylan song, then we need to have the link take us to the Bob Dylan song.
I didn't know those links weren't for the originals until Sexy said something. For the sake of saving time, I don't usually listen to songs that I already know before voting and didn't listen to either "Dylan" video.

One can always use Grooveshark if they can't find it on YouTube. I've found everything I've ever looked for on Grooveshark.
It may be better to use that source in future tournaments anyway.
I just treated it as the original Dylan song the whole tournament. I guess I should have changed the link but it seemed as if everyone was already doing that so I went with it.
It's much too late in the game now, but for any future tournaments I'll change the link. For the final just treat it as Dylan

I'm not sure whose, but somebody's vote was disqualified.
People can vote if they didn't nominate but only if they participate all the way through.
I have a feeling that last vote was campaigned which we already decided was a no-no a few tournaments ago.

It's a rule that was already in place and is a standing rule. He did not vote at any other time in this tournament.
I don't know if you asked him or not but I do believe that you would feel differently if someone else had jumped in at the final moment and it had not benefited you.
This was what we all decided on in that tournament where everyone was campaigning.

And Derek just so we are clear it's absolutely nothing personal with either you or Pussy. I like you both and Pussy is always in the HoF and I am happy for that.
Look at it this way. If I had two remaining nominations and Raul (who participates in a lot of tournaments but didn't this one) came in and voted for both my songs and had not shown any interest beforehand in the tournament wouldn't it be reasonable that people might think that was an act of friendship more than any investment in the outcome of the tournament?

This is the toughest decision that I've had to make in one of these tournaments. I nominated Bob Dylan's "Blowin’ in the Wind", so I feel like I'm a traitor to myself if I don't vote for Bob Dylan, but I really like Tom Waits "I Hope That I Don't Fall in Love with You", and I've been rooting for it to win since I first heard it in round one, so my heart wants to vote for Tom Waits.
I've been thinking about this all night, and I decided that I can't let my nomination go down without a fight, so officially I'm voting for Bob Dylan, but I'll probably be happier if Tom Waits wins.
This would have been an easier decision against any other song in the tournament, except maybe Phil Ochs "When I'm Gone", which is another song that I heard for the first time in this tournament, and I was rooting for it to win since round one.

I'm not voting.
Pussy Galore voted in this competition two weeks ago and it appears it was counted. There is no proof saying it wasn't then. (http://www.movieforums.com/community/showthread.php?p=1170162#post1170162) Pussy has also voted in plenty of other tournaments. I voted in the Country Music Song Tournament even though I didn't nominate songs.
The two Dylan songs ("Blowin' in the Wind" and "Knockin' on Heaven's Door") were tied because of Pussy's vote. There should have been a tiebreaker, not a removal of his vote.
R.P. McMurphy
09-29-14, 04:30 PM
Two weeks ago, the tournament was just starting and anyone, at that point could have and was welcome to vote, regardless if they nominated any songs. The trade off is that they have to at least vote somewhat consistently, not just vote at the beginning then come around in the finals and vote. It isn't fair to those who have been following the tournament and been doing their due diligence, listening to all the songs and voting at least semi-regularly. As far as I see it, they haven't earned the right and put in the effort. I don't really understand why this is an issue because it seems very cut and dry to me. Either participate with some regularity or don't participate in the voting. Voting once in the beginning then disappearing for a couple weeks and coming around to vote in the finals while everyone else has been here participating and becoming emotionally invested just doesn't seem fair to me but that is just my perspective. Nothing against anyone who wants to not nominate and still vote. It would be cool if lots more people participated but the simple rule should be you must be consistent.

Thanks. Truth be told, I almost didn't stick to my guns. I came very close to voting against my own nomination because R.P. picked a better song. I waited all night before voting because I was hoping that the voting would be a blow-out one way or the other, and that my vote would have been irrelevant, but when it was close, I decided to cast my vote and give my song a chance.
But I'm glad that R.P. won. I love the song he picked, and I was rooting for it since I first heard it in round one. :)

Heard of Kraftwerk and don't like the song you put up. The problem I have with techno, at least the type in that vid, is its staccato and beeping sound nature, which I guess is what is and why I don't like it. lol
IDM, like what you put up, is something I can listen to but probably not for long due to the racing, relentless pace. Then again it is dance music.
No, that's not IDM - What JJ posted, the Aphex Twin song, that's IDM. The song with the manga chick on it, that's techno. Sorry for the confusion. :p
The stuff I would nominate would probably be mostly Aphex Twin type of music. Glitchy IDM and ambient music. Autechre, Boards of Canada, Flying Lotus etc. But, you can nominate whatever you like yourself, if you do find some electronic music you enjoy. :)

Aphex Twin seemed very similar to Kraftwerk which is techno. The manga chick you put up seemed less techno because it's superimposing electronics over a known song. I suppose IDM and Techno as genres bleed into one another.
No, Kraftwerk isn't techno. Kraftwerk is synthpop. But yeah, Aphex Twin was definitely influenced by Kraftwerk.
IDM tends to be more glitchy and experimental/avant-garde, while techno is the really fast-paced stuff like the song I shared.
