Genrepalooza II: Here's Where the Story Ends (4 Viewers)

[KarmaPolice]

To open up nominations, it's customary for the commissioner to strip naked and scream "Genrepalooza" like a chicken

I was already 1/2 way there, I will leave it to your imagination as to which 1/2.

Ahh, sorry. Hadn't gotten up to speed.  

I'll still go with Ska. Doesn't hurt to hear a song, right?  

 

[Northern Voice]

Ska was in last time too right.

I hate ska.

 

[Northern Voice]

@Steve Tasker Japandroids/Cloud Nothings on Tuesday?

 

[rockaction]

Ska was in last time too right.

I hate ska.

No ska last time, mi amigo. Least not that I remember. I can do hip hop '96-06 if you'd like.

This was one of my favorite GP1 playlists

Okay. Thanks, Eeph. My memory is certainly spotty. 

 

[Eephus]

to illustrate the flexibility of genres:

Genre: Ska

Song:  Hey Lord, Don't Ask Me Questions

Artist:  Graham Parker & The Rumour

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Don’t care to draft, but I might pop in around page 80 to argue about the genesis of ragtime for old time’s sake. 

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

No nominations so far?

Eh?

In - would audio comedy tracks/skits of less than 10 minutes fly?

Like this suggestion, a lot.

:BearWhizzBeer:

I would be open to that.

It's not mandatory, but most of the stuff gears to being available for a spotify playlist.  There is tons of stand up comedy stuff on there.  I was surprised at how many of the video game tracks we found too.

I am actually changing my mind  here. If anyone else wants the category, have at it, amend it, whatever.

New category coming very soon

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

My official choice of category

Genre: Aussie, Kiwi, Aussie - Australian or New Zealand artist, where the singer(s) MUST have been born down under

Rules out Men at Work, AC/DC, Olivia Newton-John, Bee Gees, Cold Chisel etc

I am happy to adjudicate any entry.

 

[-OZ-]

When one of us nominates sex or dead people songs.

Well there goes my "genre"

I'll guess songs about stalking a lady are also out?

 

[rockaction]

Genre: Hip Hop - '90-'00

Let's keep it easy and fun.  

 

[-OZ-]

In honor of my locale, let's go

Genre: southern rock, where the band must have been formed, or the solo act born south of the Mason-Dixon line (rules out kid Rock and Nickleback. You can thank me later). 

Artists include Allman brothers, (early) Kings of Leon, black crows, and Bo diddly. 

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

I had already said I'm in.  Where's the love?

And I'm picking JML's genre:  audio comedy tracks/skits of less than 10 minutes  

(This includes comedy songs, as well as skits and monologues.)

Genre: Hip Hop - '90-'00

Let's keep it easy and fun.  

Nice- I was going to take 90s hip hop as well. 

(Actually I was going to do white guys rapping, but thought it would suck too much, and then thought 90s hip hop would be better) 

 

[Mr. Ected]

For me, I am going to go with Acoustic/Unplugged. One of my favorite ways to hear music. I loved the MTV Unplugged shows of the 90s, where you got to see the musicians in close contact with the crowd.

For definition, I'll go to Wiki "music that would usually be played on electrified instruments (such as an electric guitar or synthesizer) but is rendered instead on instruments that can be played without electricity, for example acoustic guitar or traditional piano, although a microphone is still used." In some cases, Electric Bass is used; those will be allowed.

 

[Northern Voice]

I'll keep the 90s love going and make my genre 90s Indie/Alternative.

 

[Hov34]

Ok, my "category" may be way too loose, and if it is I have a more traditional backup.

Slow Motion Entrance Song.  (could have been used in a movie/TV Show or one you think would make a good slo mo entrance to)

Example:  Kenny Powers is Back

I might change this to holiday tunes. I mean it is October. 

Unless someone else claims either.

Thanks ected for taking acoustic, that was my 3rd choice.

For Holiday Tunes, we just would need to go back to our Keerock CDs.

I like this one. I had considered doing something along the lines of baseball walkup or wrestler entrance song,

Awesome.  

 

[Steve Tasker]

Is "Tragically Hip songs" a genre?

This is a joke, btw.  I will come up with something.

 

[El Floppo]

ok, I'm in.

so... there are rules?

eta: because... I have no idea wtf is going on here. 

eta 2: and I have a feeling I won't have any idea wtf is going on by the time it's done.

At this point, pick a Genre of music/category.

After that, we will give you 4 options from the list of everyone's genres that you have to make 2 picks from. (Don't worry about how the options are determined)

Not sure if it will be pick in any order or pick in specific order.

will we each be picking only one genre?

Not 100% what this is, but I like it.

correct.

No thanks.  Really liked the southern rock idea.  And like you, acoustic was on my short list too.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Genre: dream pop / shoegaze

Either/or.  They're related but not the same, obviously (kinda like my trip-hop/acid house genre last time).  I'll be liberal on the interpretations of what fits this genre.

I am updating post 2 as we go...

 

[El Floppo]

Genre: post-punk (1977-1985)

eta: or songs featuring whistling. I'm good either way. although my first thought- 10minute+ rock songs would likely be playlist flow killers for everybody. 

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

Genre: dream pop / shoegaze

This was on my short list too. I'll go with the other I was contemplating:

Baroque pop---a lot of great options from the 60's to the present. 

 

[Mr. Ected]

Correct me if I am wrong, but different people can pick the same performer, but the one person can't pick the same artist multiple times.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Nah, we are open to whatever.  I think most self-police the taking songs from the same artist thing anyway. 

 

[Steve Tasker]

Ha, I almost picked this genre instead.
