ArsMoriendi: Round 8: Inverted Umbrella Competition

ArsMoriendi 12.10.23	Someone's rec crashed hard and Komyps' winner boost from last round couldn't save them. Both are eliminated Johnny knows his noise rock and won the round! Round 8 is the final double elimination round, round 9 will be single elimination
Ryus 12.10.23	ok its not noise rock but wtf white horses is incredible
Ryus 12.10.23	tbf you do lose some of its magic by not listening to it in album context but still
GhandhiLion 12.10.23	Hickey Underworld isn't noiserock btw. Also your score makes me SAD. That song is incredible
GhandhiLion 12.10.23	Contradictions are cool [2]
ArsMoriendi 12.10.23	@Ryus: I did not like it one bit @Ghandhi: I thought so, but it at least felt close enough that I didn't bother subtracting points. Doesn't matter cuz Kompys is out anyway
JohnnyoftheWell 12.10.23	lmfao thank fuck I scored a bonus before the baroque pop round
porcupinetheater 12.10.23	Yeah reccin a song thatâ€™s so dependent on album context to elevate is a chaotic move, respect to someone
porcupinetheater 12.10.23	Also itâ€™s Holterinâ€™ time for this weekâ€™s theme, Julia Holter - I Shall Love 2 https://open.spotify.com/track/4VxGlr9PawFDaThx20USnS?si=0MFj8KXtRBKePGKw2fBTVA
budgie 12.10.23	woo go sam go sam
Kompys2000 12.11.23	Don't care about elimination this is farther than I've ever gotten but what i DO care about is ghandhi pearlclutching over the boundaries of a genre as nebulous as noise rock ðŸ™„
Kompys2000 12.11.23	Something something TRUE noise rock refers only to the touch and go roster of the early 90s
ArsMoriendi 12.11.23	He's kinda known for that, but I sorta appreciate it in a way
GhandhiLion 12.11.23	"TRUE noise rock refers only to the touch and go roster of the early 90s" lol
SlothcoreSam 12.11.23	It's on Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood - Some Velvet Morning https://open.spotify.com/track/6SEMWLEAQs90K4XSacidwM?si=rMAYajAtRmS4kvua81810g
GhandhiLion 12.11.23	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGtADWY2ixU This noise rocks. Should have picked it instead ðŸ˜›
GhandhiLion 12.11.23	John Cale - Paris 1919 https://youtu.be/q5YHqWqhFkU?si=j8fJTQfCOK2mdcaS
someone 12.11.23	Welp, at least I went out in a memorable way
fogza 12.11.23	Van Dyke Parks - Palm Desert https://youtu.be/rykuiFm9JJg?si=qu5cTn8SbNoa_EpI
protokute 12.11.23	wish i was on this...........
JohnnyoftheWell 12.11.23	Ars how much Scott Walker do you know?
ArsMoriendi 12.11.23	Iâ€™ve heard Scott Walker songs, but none I can name by title Iâ€™d say anything goes for him as long as itâ€™s baroque pop
ffs 12.11.23	ars nova - pavan for my lady https://youtu.be/-eYJ8lJmP3s?si=fAzR7-ZP7aPUVWAo
ArsMoriendi 12.11.23	Tbh I see both Laddio Bolocko and Daisy Chainsaw in my futureâ€¦ maybe sometime in 2024
porcupinetheater 12.11.23	If you dig the whole Daisy Chainsaw record, check Queen Adreena too, singer and guitarist both split off to form that band and theyâ€™re killer
CugnoBrasso 12.11.23	I'm torn between two songs... I'll think about it.
CugnoBrasso 12.12.23	Ok, one of those two songs was basically a standard indie rock song with the addition of a string quartet (Measure by Field Music), and the other one was closer to folk than chamber pop (Julep by Punch Brothers). So I'm going with a third one, 'Hologram' by These New Puritans. https://thesenewpuritans.bandcamp.com/track/hologram-1 Too experimental to be considered pop music? I don't know, it might be, but frick it.
ArsMoriendi 12.12.23	No idea what will count til I hear it, but if you have any doubts: nothing is locked in until Sunday at 5pm!
porcupinetheater 12.12.23	Ooh These New Puritans are killer
JohnnyoftheWell 12.12.23	Sparks - Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4esybKKOYYo contains a "Guitar Solo" but the substance of the main arrangement is so overwhelmingly baroque that it shall stand. yes!
ArsMoriendi 12.12.23	For sure, genre hybrids exist and count Baroque pop + some sorta rock I think is pretty common anyway Wow I guess I donâ€™t have to remind anyone this week. The final 7 marks all super serious players â˜ºï¸
porcupinetheater 12.12.23	Might just get spicy and change my rec to keep you on your toes
JohnnyoftheWell 12.12.23	porc go pinch the Seventh Seal - don't think it has enough sparkle to weather an Ars comp but someone! must! rec! it!
porcupinetheater 12.17.23	Iâ€™m not pinching the Seventh Seal but ARS I AM CHANGING MY REC AT THE LAST MINUTE WHOOOOO Can I get instead The Left Banke - Walk Away Renee https://open.spotify.com/track/6utiXjyN4dWoMNEZa2skxn?si=Ny2neuEoRT2BEF4mg6MTuw
ArsMoriendi 12.17.23	This'll be fun 3 hours about until oooh
porcupinetheater 12.17.23	Eyo Ars just wanna confirm you got my rec switch?
ArsMoriendi 12.17.23	Yes, The Left Banke! I see it :)
ArsMoriendi 12.17.23	Lowest score was a 3.5! Sadly that person will be out, results up soon
