DadKungFu
09.23.20 | This victory feels hollow somehow |
budgie
09.23.20 | ahh it's so nice to finally have my album rec be the placeholder. glorious.... |
bloodshy
09.23.20 | haha yeah, i just don't want the final winner to be an album that is worse than another. not sure if i'll do any extra points at all |
bloodshy
09.23.20 | @budgie haha awesome! yeah, i figured it might be a nice touch for a previous round victory. not sure if i stole that idea from shark or not |
Uzumaki
09.23.20 | @bloodshy, you ever listen to Jambinai? Dope post-metal from S. Korea that uses traditional instruments... |
Uzumaki
09.23.20 | I know I’m out, but your “not from Japan” line got my brain thinking again. |

enjooy |
bloodshy
09.23.20 | @uzumaki
i'll add it to my jukebox. i have about twenty albums to add to my pt1 jukebox after this tourny, a bunch of shit that looks good that i've been shelving away |
bloodshy
09.23.20 | that say sue me album art would have gotten 0.5 extra points in the last round |
LeddSledd
09.23.20 | Pointz are broken :/
My money's on Steak to win |
bloodshy
09.23.20 | the point system is fucked, agreed. but it's fucked the same for everyone, so it doesn't matter.
are we taking bets now? ledd you can be the bookie |
bloodshy
09.23.20 | i just decided winner of this round gets a choice advantage |
budgie
09.23.20 | this round is supposed to knock out 2 correct? |
bloodshy
09.23.20 | not necessarily. i'm not opposed to having three in the finale. depends on the final scores |
Divaman
09.23.20 | Ooo, pizza rolls and mozzarella sticks. You're my new favorite host, bloodshy. |
budgie
09.23.20 | thought youve been generally been knocking out the lowest 2 scores |
budgie
09.23.20 | right diva???? lets eat! |
bloodshy
09.23.20 | remember that one time we went to space though |
budgie
09.23.20 | yeah that was bad |
bloodshy
09.23.20 | i'm saying anything is possible if you just believe, budgie |
budgie
09.23.20 | ok ok i see |
Sniff
09.23.20 | I am going fucking ham on those mozzarella sticks |
bloodshy
09.23.20 | haha sniff |
bloodshy
09.23.20 | okay guys, i'm revealing this round's winner's advantage now, because i want the choice to already be made at the very beginning of the finals:
select the continent that you want to receive the highest point boost in the grand finale! |
LeddSledd
09.23.20 | Antarctica |
bloodshy
09.23.20 | that would still be a legitimate choice, honestly |

My next submission |
Trifolium
09.23.20 | Oh no!!!! Can I still rec Oumou because I totally wanted to do that she's my hero! I wanted to go for another one though:
Oumou Sangaré - Mogoya (from Mali)
Like I said, she is totally amazing. With the call-response stuff, the delicious rhythms, and of course her sunlight drenched, soulful voice she wins me over time and time again. |
budgie
09.23.20 | hi trif |
Trifolium
09.23.20 | Hiiiiiiiiiiii! |
budgie
09.23.20 | is it gonna be us 2 in the finals??? |
Trifolium
09.23.20 | Yes let's make it so budgie!
But I actually think we shouldn't vote so we'll keep seeing all these devilish dears in a row in this thread. |
budgie
09.23.20 | too late D: ive made a great error |
Trifolium
09.23.20 | No that's alright. There are still six of them looking at us. I'm the one that's made the error by picking my rec omg ooooops! |
SlothcoreSam
09.23.20 | Thanks for letting me back in bloodshy, and for the bonus points. Here is my rec
I Mean Us - OST, dream pop out of Taiwan, you won't be disappointed. |
SteakByrnes
09.24.20 | I'm so stumped on this |
bloodshy
09.24.20 | Don't forget to pick out your continent boost of choice for the finals in case you win. I haven't received any yet. |
budgie
09.24.20 | i have been jammin my rec for this round a couple times today and wow i like it more than before
it is such a damn good lp
trif jam it |
Trifolium
09.24.20 | Hmmmmmmm, I'll have to think about that for a second. What would I like to rec you in the finals... |
budgie
09.24.20 | trif jam say sue me >___________> |
Trifolium
09.24.20 | OOOOOO KKKKKKKKK is it good? °____________° |
budgie
09.24.20 | when hav i ever let u down |
Trifolium
09.24.20 | I cannot remember you ever letting me down. 🎈🌷 |
SteakByrnes
09.25.20 | I'm gonna go with Red Helen - Trading Past For Pathways
They're from South Africa
Not super confident with this one but didn't have a lot of time and I won't be home at all this weekend lol, don't wanna keep you guys waiting. And I guess I'd want the continent boost to be NA |
bloodshy
09.25.20 | Is anyone ever confident recommending African bands though? |
SlothcoreSam
09.25.20 | Is Mexico in Africa? |
budgie
09.25.20 | yes |
bloodshy
09.25.20 | lol there are times when i love Sputnik, and that's why i stick around. |
SlothcoreSam
09.25.20 | If I was still in the tournament I'd not be afraid to rec you an African band. Maybe you should let me back in, and give me a minus 5 handicap |
bloodshy
09.25.20 | Last time I did that you recommended a TV show. |
SlothcoreSam
09.25.20 | I recc'd the theme song, lol |
SlothcoreSam
09.25.20 | And it's a classic. Plus the show is so good I got 21 dvds, all the episodes |
bloodshy
09.25.20 | Are you telling me I listened to one and a half episodes and gave up for no reason? |
SlothcoreSam
09.25.20 | Ummmmm. Maybe, I think you had to grow up with it in the 90s to really appreciate the show.
The theme song, is just 3 minutes long. There is a techno version somewhere too.
|
bloodshy
09.25.20 | Lol yeah i listened to the theme song. It was actually good in a novelty sort of way. |
budgie
09.25.20 | 🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 |
bloodshy
09.25.20 | budgie, what continent would you want to get a boost in the finals? |
budgie
09.25.20 | don't think i haven't thought about it, i'm just thinking what's the #1 album to rec you, and i see you've already rated laura gibson, i'm inbetween EU and NA right now, EU has holy motors which i think you would love, NA has a whole bunch, i just don't want to give you my decision yet, because surely this round will take a handful of days longer and in that time i might achieve higher wisdom |
budgie
09.25.20 | also i might be kicked out this round anyway so why waste thinking energy |

Trifolium
09.25.20 | I'm really torn too about this continent business. Thinking about my rec for you hmm........ |
Trifolium
09.25.20 | I'm going for Europe. Have some ideas and they're all from here so that works. |
someone
09.25.20 | my album is
Getatchew Mekurya, The Ex and Guests - Moa Anbessa
Ethiopian jazz with the help of Dutch noise punk band
and my pick for grand finale is an album from any continent about a different continent (band name, album title or theme). that work? |
bloodshy
09.26.20 | nah, that would change the whole theme, i'm just looking for a continent. good idea though |
