Ok, before these benzos knock me out I had to post one more. Not sure how many people know before DIplo was making modern dance hits he made one of the most unique and dynaic downtempo albums ever.
Driven by dirty south drums backdropping psych rock, blues, and just an overall swampy dusty sample feel.
Some great stuff, Funcrusher, thanks. I love instrumentals so here’s some jazz covers of Bob Dylan because why not?
Love Boards of Canada. I was also considering Air - “Mike Mills” for this question.
That first cover raised the hairs on my arms.
Here’s are 2 songs from the Watchmen movie. Originally from Koyaanisqatsi.
Gotta say, I know very little of art history but the adult swim bumps were some of my favorite art of all time. Especially the ones with the miniatures of Atlanta.
Anyone up on the Dark Crystal OST? The Gelfling song (sampled to perfection by Future Sound of London) is an all time haunting piece of music for me.
Harkening back to the halcyon days of listening to hip hop and ambient and experimental electronica when the samples are magic since you dont know where they came from.
Main theme is legendary also. This is legit GOAT OST.
Super nice cover of Souls of Mischief “93 till Infinity” instrumental
I’m done most of the write ups but won’t meet the deadline for today. I’ll do the reveal tomorrow.
I apologize for the lame, unfair category choice.
Walrus Reveal will be at 3pm EST.
but what’s that in metric?
I’ve succumbed to the latest craze and will be doing an online pub quiz starting then, but will try and keep an eye on this too. I feel trepidatious, life has not prepared me to be the frontrunner.
Should be a close finish. Id be lyin if I said I didnt feel good about this category entry.
Ok, about that time.

5 - Placate Pauwl Category
"All previous rules are out the winda’. Pandering allowed. If I already know the song and love it, it will be rated as such."
I chose this category because of reasons. This is the final category.
Anyway, here we are. Thank you for allowing me my mindless self indulgence.
Judging was by my taste in music with no downgrading for familiarity or obviousness and no random bumps.
So what would I have entered? If I didn’t care whether I did well in this category, I would have picked one of my own favorite songs, which alot of people did. I will check with the current leader J Pizzle to see what his entry is :
Johnny Goth - Take Me Away
Excellent choice, but I think they might make fun of me for that one. … Yeah, yeah, I made that dumb Madonna quote. … Calm down! What are you yelling for!? … Fine, I’ll post it! I get to post my choice too then.
Chromatics - Shadow
Ruth is so dreamy. Twin Peaks backdrop. Beautiful.
THis was my first walrus Ive ever done. It was awesome. Thanks for some great categories and entertaining anaylsis.
One of my favorite pieces of art.
