Gas bags. Aw, geez. I’ll try to get it started.
Good news, Everyone!
Pauwl is saying “fuck it” to these gas bags.
You’re not sending us on an almost-certainly-fatal delivery mission, are you?

I think the song I picked here is cool but I’m going to be mad if it does poorly and someone picked the alternate choice I thought of and it does well.
Lets do this
You’re all winners. This was a great group of submissions
I know the track I picked is cool and I’m expecting to go mad.
awesome, I can have background music while I make my homemade BLM flag (I think it is a good sign that most of the online outlets I tried were out of stock?)
I don’t accept this JeanP entry, by the way. Total lack of transparency all round. #jeanpout
I didn’t really have a good idea for this category so I took a shot with something a little different, we’ll see what happens. Probably chose the wrong judge to submit it to.
There is just so much good instrumental music out there that I went the movie score route (though not from a movie you typically think of for big, awesome music)
oh boy, I have a feeling everyone is going to dislike my entry
I think you personally will like my entry but you might be the only one
I fixed your score, baby.

FINE!
edit" it’s wrapping up. Just random after talk now
I was going to post my pick for Rivaldo’s instrumental round but it’s pretty popular so maybe someone used it here.
4 - An instrumental song
" Self explanatory. I listen to a lot of Philip Glass. Don’t go there but stuff like that is welcome. I love film scores."
I picked this category because I really like instrumental music. I knew I would like nearly everything in this category. Lyrics get on my nerves more so than music. You might have noticed in previous categories that I ranked instrumentals quite high. It takes another level of musicianship to do an instrumental. Rhythm and lead backing up a singer is easy. Coming up with an instrumental that can stand up on its own is harder. When it’s done right, it has way more of an effect on me.
Judging was by my taste in music. I downgraded some on familiarity and obviousness, but I liked pretty much everything. It was really tough to come up with rankings. There’s one song in the nodium that pains me that it’s there. Whatever. Drokk it!
Because in Mega City
There’s a ton of music that I was expecting. I’m surprised no Hip Hop heads put up Apache. Everyone knows Rumble or Sleepwalk. Quentin Tarantino movies always had cool stuff. Horror movies have awesome music. John Carpenter did his own scores back in the day. Sci-fi is good. Vangelis. Tons of modern minimalist music. Arvo Pärt Experimental music. Classical nocturnes and threnodies. Obscure composers. I love it all.
I won’t spam you with too many videos. Just two. This first was my intro to Philip Glass.:
When the Candyman movie came out in '92, the music was so scary but beautiful. Sweets to the sweet. I looked him up later in my life and got hooked.
This is what I would have submitted for this category. This is by my favorite guitar player John Fahey. Glorious comb-over in full effect.
This is one of his brighter songs. It’s mostly happy but has some strange dissonant parts. I picked a shorter one so hopefully you’ll listen to the end.
