ariich’s fogey roulette (v7) – FINAL RESULTS

[HOF]

I wish I liked Jellyfish as much as everyone else. They should be right up my alley, but at least the first album didn't do much for me. I think it's mostly his voice and the subject matter of the songs. I just didn't connect with it, apart from I Wanna Stay Home which is amazing.

[jingle.boy]

If Stadler repeats what he just did in round 5, that could be the greatest upset in roulette history.

I appreciate you liking them - I know I do! - but that's a conundrum for me now.  Do I go for the upset, and actually "try", or do I do what I usually do in the last round of these and send Kiss. 

I guess the question you have to ask yourself is whether  Gene, Paul, and Ace are three people who have ever been in your kitchen?  BTW, that Jellyfish playlist was pretty sweet.  Very Dear Hunter-esque.

FWIW, U2 got a raw deal here.

Sent. I hope EV fucks up and I get a good score

[jingle.boy]

And I'm in.  I didn't go full Leroy Jenkins, but I've got a feeling it's still going to tank. 

But I have no regrets.

[Evermind]

Sent. I hope EV fucks up and I get a good score

Fuck you very much

I'll try to send tomorrow.

[Nekov]

Hey, it's nothing personal. You just happen to be the one above me in the scores 

[Crow]

i hope you both tank and ariich loves what i sent 

[Kwyjibo]

I sent Spinal Tap so my score should go to eleven.

[Stadler]

I sent Spinal Tap so my score should go to eleven.

  Good one. 

[King Postwhore]

I sent Spinal Tap so my score should go to eleven.

Don't look at it though.

[Evermind]

Sent!

[Stadler]

Oh boy, results are early. I'm on vacation, so I won't be able to send you anything until Sunday at the earliest. Hopefully that's alright.

Yep, completely fine - I'm away for the weekend anyway so listening time will be limited until Monday.

Is tomorrow morning okay?  I will TRY to send tonight, but I can't promise (what with Halloween and two young grandkids!)

[Puppies_On_Acid]

Sent!

This is pretty peak fogey roulette right here. :-)

And finding his reading glasses he'll inevitably lose.

[ariich]

Tomorrow is no problem at all, only just back from a weekend away so haven't even got through first listens of the ones I've been sent already. The fact that I was away for the weekend does mean I might not quite manage Friday results but I'll do my best.

EDIT: Incidentally we're up to 15 submissions now, just 3 to go.

Are there really 18 people in this roulette?

Oh, I always find them (by SITTING ON THEM!)   

[King Postwhore]

Did that this weekend.

I had the same thought. The pace Rich maintained for these five rounds is incredible.

[Stadler]

In as Flynn.

Indeed. He had 22 in his last roulette!

ariich spends an obscene amount of time every week listening to music from what I've gathered

Man's gonna spin some three hundred albums from this roulette in about two months once it's over, I'm calling it now

That's a bit of an exaggeration. It took me around 7 months to work my way through the artists I was sent in my last roulette. But that did total probably something like 500 albums. So actually not that much of an exaggeration.

[King Postwhore]

That's an insane amount of music to listen to for a sane person.

[ariich]

That's an insane amount of music to listen to for a sane person.

I dunno, it works out at slightly over two albums a day, which I don't think is a crazy amount. I can listen to music when working (except when I'm in meetings obviously), so I can get through a lot.

Obviously I didn't spend lots of time getting to know most of that music well during that period. That's why I had a good few months of no roulette after that, so that the music I liked from various recent roulettes (and other discoveries of course) I could listen to loads and really get to know better.

[King Postwhore]

Sure, but tell me that's all you listen to?  I know better.  LOL 

[ariich]

Sure, but tell me that's all you listen to?  I know better.  LOL 

Not all, no, but while I'm working on that as a project, it's most of what I listen to (I also check out new releases and some other discoveries too of course).

[King Postwhore]

I also think of children time and spouse time.  Is your wife as passionate about music like you are?  My wife is.  I'm lucky she loves music like I do.  Many at DTF have met her.

[Buddyhunter1]

My problem is that I need to hear something at least three times before I can form a proper opinion on it.
I think for my roulettes I usually listen to everything at least like, 6 or 7 times before the results get posted.

[Elite]

Many at DTF have met her.

I have not.

[King Postwhore]

I'm with you.  Some of my favorite albums were a bit challenging at first.  Were growers.

Many at DTF have met her.

I have not.

We need to correct that.

[Crow]

I usually listen to songs 5 times in my roulettes and even then some songs I don't feel I ever form a solid opinion on

Albums are even worse I've had albums that took me like a dozen spins before I realized they were actually super good
