You didnā€™t take part in mine.

Just as well if youā€™d have brought the fucking Jesus And Mary Chain along.

Iā€™m fairly certain iā€™d do quite well in a jalfrezi walrus (at least as long as the grading is relative)

Back to back last place finishes is no easy feat.

Thanks for the reveal Pauwl. This was a lot of fun.

Hey you won mine, maybe weā€™ll even remove the asterisk for the category I botched one day. I got an average 9th place finish in this one and itā€™s my best by a large enough margin that I think i can retire happily.

I kinda want to do one but Iā€™m not sure if Iā€™d able to do it justice like pauwl

Lol, yes, thats correct

For the record, Matt, given your submissions, I think youā€™d do great in mine

Had much fun railing.

Well done to all, and remember: noone wins a walrus, just some participants lose more slowly than others.

Ok whoā€™s hosting next.

Oh hell yeah, lets do this thing

Whoever that is, be prepared for some Yiddish hardcore. No more points off for familiarity. Oi!

Based on the reveals I watched so far I would probably have one winner who accidentally hits something I like and the rest finishes last as a group. :D

Ouch, what a choke, trying to pick stuff I thought youā€™d like messed with my head. Well, thatā€™s my story, anyway. Iā€™m a little sad I missed the final reveal, will try and catch up on songs later.

So I was chartting with a mate, bemoaning the ridiculous undermarking I had recieved in this Walrus when he reminded me about a Sisters of Mercy shared anecdote.

A group of us went to the 1980 Leeds Futurama Festival, which was inside Leeds City Hall. A 2 day festival inside a roughly 2/3000 building, in which approx 80% of attendees slept in a beer and cider haze inside the building, then just got up and started again the next day. Apart from the ones on speed who just drank for the whole weekend. By the end of the second day the stench was like nothing you could believe.

Looking back it had quite the line-up

Of the many highlights I remember Soft Cell did a cover of Paranoid, and Hazel Oā€™Connor got canned off after one song

Anyway the elder brother of one of the group was at college in Leeds and had a house we stayed in for the weekend. The next morning there were about 15 people chatting in this house and there was one bloke who said he was starting a band, but he only had the name, which was the Sisters of Mercy. He didnt have any songs but he had was really amused at the thought of going to festivals and setting up a stall with a big banner saying Sisters of Mercy, and then laughing at people who came up to the thinking they were the same as the St Johns Ambulance or Red Cross.
I never met him again but now 40 years later he wins a Walrus.

I saw Hazel Oā€™Connor once supporting the Stranglers, and by god she was awful.

Oh she was terrible.There was a couple of cans thrown during tne first song to which she responded with a sarcastic type ā€œthat was cleverā€ comment whereupon the hail of missiles forced a hasty retreat.
Come too think of it there were loads of bottles of piss as well.
