February - A Song Tournament For Music Lovers
Same as was done in previous tournaments of this type.....
Every couple of days will be a new 'round' where any and all newly nominated songs are up against each other. As soon as voting starts for one 'round' nominations will be accepted for the next 'round'. Players vote by ranking all the songs in that 'round' from 1 (their favourite) to n (their least favourite). Songs will be awarded points based on their positional ranking in each vote (number of points will depend on the number of songs contesting the 'round' - if 10 songs #1 song would get 10 points, #10 song would get 1 point). The winning song from each 'round' (or songs in the case of a tie) goes through to the 'Final' at the end of the month. Songs that made it to previous 'finals' are ineligible -
list here
Nominations need to be freely available to all participants, YouTube is most commonly used but any freely available and legal source is acceptable. Sometimes YouTube videos can be geo-blocked so where necessary an alternative link for those who might need it may be required. You can check if/where any YouTube vid has been geo-blocked via this website (link kindly provided by Torgo). Simples but if any relevant questions just ask. |

Re: February - A Song Tournament For Music Lovers
Well, unless my math ability has deteriorated by an embarrassing degree, I make it that we already have enough of us to ensure Round 1 can kick off on Wednesday morn. Starting to think I might just have put this thread up a tad tooooooo early though :D

And it's not like I've never heard it before. Especially as a Canadian, that album and all of its songs were everywhere in the 90's. But I never considered it as much more than pleasant background noise. But with headphones, there is so much going on in the texture of that song, the writing and production, her voice, her lyrics. Compared to the similarly ubiquitous 90's Canadian girl (Alanis) when I happened upon one of her songs yesterday, one that I had once liked quite a bit, found it had aged terribly. I probably should revisit Tumbling Towards Ecstasy in earnest one of these days. |

I think we can just go ahead and skip on to Round 5 as Round 4 is now clearly unfair to all the other noms.

Back when Spotify announced the yearly stats for 2022, I found that I was in the top 0.001% of bowie listeners at 27,037 minutes to his music alone =\

It's funny this popped up, as recently I saw a "40 most well-produced records" list, and that Sarah McLachlan record was on the list. See, I do actually know what I'm talking about :) |
