The Chorus.fm Music League Thread • Page 214

While we await the end of this season, I wanted to send out the form to submit ideas for next season, to get ahead of the game!

see below

Chorus.fm Music League Season 8

 

Think I’m going to take a break for a while, but I have thoroughly enjoyed this and will likely be back!

 

I’ve been having a lot of trouble wanting to start this playlist

 

I have no ideas right now but as it is June soon please include a "favorite song of the year so far" round

 

6 day voting reminder...............................

 

I have my points allocated, I just need to write comments.

Thankfully I was already familiar with many of these, including the 2 longest ones.

 

Random 16-hour warning!

 

I can extend again if needed

 

I don't actually need one, just a comment worth revisiting

 

At least I made this the last round and not somewhere in the middle

 

lol congrats again to @trevorshmevor

 

No more rounds like the last one please lol

 

I really thought I had third place!!

Also happy to see some Gillian Welch love in that round

Honestly surprised Bell Witch did as well as it did.

 

I admittedly did not listen to the whole song but it was dope.

 

Found the last three comments on the doom metal song very amusing lol

 

20 minute + songs next round?

 

next season, every round, only songs longer than 30 minutes

 

Just realized I submitted 16 Military Wives for the numbers round and got 16 votes. I should get some bonus points or something for that.

 

I will be ducking out of the next one, summer is a faffy time for me.

Although going to be weird not having the feeling of thinking of a great pick, writting out a detailed, personal description to see the 'great minds think alike' and then scrambling for a plan B since learnt submit song first

It's certainly been a blast and great fun. Cheers again for being so approachable and I have certainly broadened my horizons, aussie bands seem to have made it onto my rotations.

 

I'm gonna try to get this going this week or next, my wife birthed a baby during round 10 of the last season, so I've been slightly distracted. Just need to get a few minutes at my computer to cobble the rounds together. SOON

 

congrats, dad!

 

Congrats man
