Ryus
06.09.20 | baby girl how do i look in my durag (ćāāæāāæ) |
Ryus
06.09.20 | glad u liked my rec. and yea thundercat rules |
ArsMoriendi
06.09.20 | None of that "rock band with a synth mixed quietly in the background" shit, if you're gonna pick electronic rock, at least have it be like "I Might Be Wrong" levels of electronic
|

06.09.20 | " Wait, featuring Nai Palm? Haha I already love Hiatus Kaiyote, is this cheating? It isn't. itās actually a really safe decision"
XD i found Choose Your Weapon in your ratings and immediately knew what to do |
Uzumaki
06.09.20 | Sweet, glad you liked! |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.09.20 | also i think you forgot to post what the next theme is ars but im deducing from your comment in the thread that it's 'electronic'.. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.09.20 | nvm it just appeared |
Minushuman24
06.09.20 | lmao oh man, I did it! I was worried that it would have been too silly.
|
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.09.20 | i love that song and when i saw it rec'd i was worried for you too lmao, i can't believe it won |
ArsMoriendi
06.09.20 | I love silly though
A silly song won the pop, classical, and R&B rounds
Only serious song to win was in the folk round |
Minushuman24
06.09.20 | It was between that or a BADBADNOTGOOD song.
Now I've gotta sift through my spotify saved songs for an hour trying to find an electronic or trip hop song that isn't very well known or was on song of the day. sick. |
ArsMoriendi
06.09.20 | (The surprising person to be out was Johnny by the way) |

JustJoe.
06.09.20 | oh boi what to pick |
Sinternet
06.09.20 | now i could pick so many classic tracks for an 'electronic' category but actually trying to think of something you'd like is hard because your taste is very strange |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.09.20 | agreed |
Divaman
06.09.20 | Glad I made it, even if just barely. I'll have to see what I come up with here. I love synth pop, but usually what I love Ars hates. |
Sinternet
06.09.20 | i'll preliminarily pick Dan Deacon - Snookered
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ysUbo4bED4 |

Uzumaki
06.09.20 | Letās go with a classic, and one of my favorite electronic albums ever:
The Chemical Brothers - Elektrobank
https://youtu.be/OeAZyu2zh0Q |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.09.20 | Since synth pop was already included in the pop round I'm not sure it should be here anyways tbqh |
budgie
06.09.20 | how many dang genres are there |
budgie
06.09.20 | i thought the only two genres were black metal and dream pop |
ReturnToRock
06.09.20 | I'm starting to feel like I'm gonna pull a 'Portugal in Euro 2016' and just barely scrape my way to the final stages xD
Anyway, rec for one of my least favourite genres (dammit Ars!) to come later. |
Ryus
06.09.20 | u mean the best genre |
Ryus
06.09.20 | leon vynehall - envelopes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p85WrPoSBYo |
JustJoe.
06.09.20 | yeah it basically is yeah |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.09.20 | aight since ur including synth pop then you are also including synth funk by default so im rec'ing a hybrid of the two that is both silly af and similar (and affiliated with) to thundercat
pander pander pander
louis cole - weird part of the night
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glgPZmSwC4M
highly recommend watching the video |
ArsMoriendi
06.09.20 | I wonder if garas is gonna pick dungeon synth this round, he actually can for once |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.09.20 | lol |
Divaman
06.09.20 | Tangerine Dream - Charly the Kid from the Firestarter soundtrack
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72hgAwUZ_ZM&list=PLWprWK6AVnu5wFKeANJaXQNoge8250Jz8&index=3 |
Trifolium
06.09.20 | OH my picking one song for electronic hmmmmmm.
To Ars' weird taste Hmmmmm...
''trying to find an electronic or trip hop song that isn't very well known or was on song of the day.'' [2] HMMMMM.......
What to do, what to do... |
garas
06.09.20 | *scratches head*
Damn. That is going to be reeeeeeeally hard to rec you something which won't result me dropped out in this round... |
garas
06.09.20 | And the fact I survived with that R&B rec... that's a miracle :0 |
Divaman
06.09.20 | I know. The trick is finding something that will suit Ars' taste enough to not get dropped, but also to find that something that doesn't make you feel cheap and dirty for rec'ing it. |
budgie
06.09.20 | NEW YORK SUUUUUUUUUCKS |
Ryus
06.09.20 | wrong |
Trifolium
06.09.20 | OK I'm going to try it this way. These two dudes are so lovely, they make for the best club nights I've ever been to (probably). One techno-background guy and one trip-hop-background guy teaming up is even more incredible than it sounds like it would be. At least I think so.
Weval - Gimme Some (from Easier EP)
https://youtu.be/Qu5ufsK0e-4 |
Minushuman24
06.09.20 | New York is great, wtf |
ArsMoriendi
06.09.20 | budgie just said that to make me mad cuz I'm from NY (not NYC unfortunately) but he's from Cali, so it's hard to take him seriously :P |
budgie
06.09.20 | š |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.09.20 | i wanna say i'm shocked and appalled, but the onward march of plzdistractme noveltycore was never gonna stop :[ joe, i demand you win this in my stead |
ArsMoriendi
06.09.20 | Your insistence to keep picking Japanese artists (except for the classical round) was your undoing
I'm not saying good Japanese R&B doesn't exist, but you really backed yourself into a corner with your theme |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.09.20 | "I know. The trick is finding something that will suit Ars' taste enough to not get dropped, but also to find that something that doesn't make you feel cheap and dirty for rec'ing it."
LOL yeah
|
JustJoe.
06.09.20 | johnny i will win this even if itās under a different username itās me |
Divaman
06.10.20 | I always lose these, because it reaches a certain point where I'm like, "Fuck it. I'm rec'ing what EYE like". |
JustJoe.
06.10.20 | i just rate what i like & take my 2.5 like a man |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.10.20 | What's your tactic for song of the day then diva?
Rec'ing what no one likes? |
Divaman
06.10.20 | Actually, it's mostly rec'ing what you don't like. This month's first rec went over pretty good with everyone else. |
Divaman
06.10.20 | But you'd have 5'd it if it had those scratchy old record sounds. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.10.20 | That track sounded like something youd get by randomly picking something out of a 25 cent record bin so by your logic I should love it |
Divaman
06.10.20 | Nevertheless, it's currently got a higher average rating than your first pick. Icicles in the ears? You be the judge. Well, OK, not you. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.10.20 | LOL you think I was expecting unanimously positive reception for a hyper flamboyant electronic club beat on sputnik? Not exactly the most appropriate demographic. But the theme beckoned and I like to force you square out of your comfort zone. I'm actually surprised it's done even this well. If I was shooting for crowd pleasers on this site I'd rec some flaccid indie folk or something. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.10.20 | Besides I'd rather divide people with strong reactions than strive for your brand simpleton of pleasing mediocrity any day ;) |
Divaman
06.10.20 | I like stuff that's actually melodic. Sue me. |
Divaman
06.10.20 | Anyway, it's not a competition. Even though mine is objectively better. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.10.20 | I live in Canada, we don't just sue people whenever there is any sort of disagreement up here |
Divaman
06.10.20 | Really? That must be nice. Here, everybody sues everybody. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.10.20 | That being said, my dad is american so I'm going to apply for dual citizenship tomorrow so I can skidoo on down there and sue your fucking ass into the ground. |
Divaman
06.10.20 | Yeah, but the other part of it is that by the time all the costs are done, nobody really makes any money but the lawyers. That's why I've never sued anybody. |
Trifolium
06.10.20 | All of this sounds so complex. |
dedex
06.10.20 | uuuuuuuh
Massive Attack - Paradise Circus buuuuuut it's the Gui Boratto remix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8srRWePbko
and if you've already heard this one, then The Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S43IwBF0uM |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.10.20 | "I'm not saying good Japanese R&B doesn't exist, but you really backed yourself into a corner with your theme"
messiaen was most certainly not a japanese artist, but moreover r&b is generally not my ballpark (+ i am not responsible for whatever wayward associations you make with unrelated works) alaso |
ArsMoriendi
06.10.20 | @dedex: I know the Massive Attack one, but not the Chemical Brothers one, so I'm going with that one |
ArsMoriendi
06.10.20 | "messiaen was most certainly not a japanese artist"
Wasn't that Ghandhi's rec though? |
ReturnToRock
06.10.20 | @Ars I'm assuming you're familiar with my first pick, so adding a backup that I'm almost positive you won't know.
MAIN REC:
Pendulum - Tarantula
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZR2p-DhSX4
BACKUP REC
Spine of God - Heaven's In The Backseat of My Cadillac
https://open.spotify.com/track/7hurxAi4P0mHTDSgZy6sUn?si=99tSkNd9SDWYw_IzNXC69g |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.10.20 | "Wasn't that Ghandhi's rec though?"
oh shit yes (i almost rec'd messiaen and then didn't - oops). satie is also v unJapanese though |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.10.20 | lol tarantula |
ArsMoriendi
06.10.20 | I don't know Pendulum, so Tarantula works
@Johnny: I know that's why I said "(except for the classical round)" |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.10.20 | this is a setup |
ReturnToRock
06.10.20 | ...maybe I should have rec'd that Pendulum song that Steve Wilson features in. Or the one where they collab with In Flames.
Anyway, Tarantula is their biggest hit, and it's huge in the UK. Guess not so much Stateside.
PS I kinda wanted to rec Bastille's cover of Basket Case, but you said in the classical round that you can't be familiar with the song being covered either, and...well...it's freaking Basket Case innit. |
Sinternet
06.10.20 | pendulum is practically asking to be eliminated in an ars contest but i respect the balls (plus its a banger and a half)
|
ArsMoriendi
06.10.20 | A cover of Basket Case by Green Day? Ewww isn't the original enough? |
bgillesp
06.10.20 | Since I obviously cannot guarantee my winning, Iāll slowly force you to listen to Elsiane one song at a time. You loved Mend 2 years ago in SOTD, so here is Vaporous (from s/t).
https://youtu.be/Occ6AdCyLy0 |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.10.20 | " Pendulum song that Steve Wilson features in. Or the one where they collab with In Flames."
holy fuck someone give me a lobotomy already |
Divaman
06.10.20 | Another one? |
Divaman
06.10.20 | I'm ashamed of myself for that, but it was just sort of sitting there. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.10.20 | You know what shitting on each others music taste is one thing but that was just plain mean, dad |
Divaman
06.10.20 | It was. I'm truly ashamed of myself. Please try not to tempt me like that. I'm weak, and can't resist. |
ArsMoriendi
06.12.20 | 6 more still need to rec |

We will see, I suppose |
ArsMoriendi
06.15.20 | Damn, NeroCorleone, Minushuman24, and ZombieToyDuck are really waiting till the last moment aren't they... |
Trifolium
06.15.20 | Eeeeek, or they're playing hard to get. |

Only ZombieToyDuck's rec is missing |
Minushuman24

06.16.20 | i didn't know 5pm even existed in new york |
ArsMoriendi
06.16.20 | Starting now
ZombieToyDuck is too late
All choices for this round are locked in |
Minushuman24
06.16.20 | ya hate to see it |
ArsMoriendi
06.17.20 | New round is up |
ReturnToRock
06.17.20 | Whooo just scraped through. Would have been ironic if I got eliminated right before the rock and metal round :p
PS Tarantula is not really representative of Pendulum. It's more of a Prodigy ripoff sound, while the rest of their stuff (latest album aside) is more pure d'n'b/electro. Hence why I only like some of their songs, as opposed to most of Prodigy's. |
