Walrus Grab Bag 2 - The Walrus Strikes Back

I doubt my protest song submission will keep me anonymous, so hopefully eyebooger judges it fairly!

man i changed my mind now and switched the skydiver pick to its original category. too many decision points. next time we need a lightning round walrus. you get 5 minutes to pick a song.

think I might just have to rank the 14 other participants by how much affection I feel for them, and just randomize some bullshit critiques that have nothing whatsoever to do with the music submitted

this is revolutionary chaos walrus! but I love all you guys, so that idea wonā€™t work

Iā€™m gonna bomb pretty bad in some of these. I just need 4 people to shit the bed even worse to land me in that sweet 6-10th Pauwl range.

ETA: 9 entries in so far.

In. I already peaked when I won Goatnitskiā€™s category in the last grab bag (and somehow snagged Yuvā€™s category too) so no expectations here.

Looking forward to the reveals!

How was it finding a track for my category - A song that has a scream in it? (results are anon). When I ask this question I donā€™t mean like ā€œi had a bunch of good options, was hard to pick oneā€, I mean finding any option you thought would be a fit.

  • Easy. Had some ideas straight away.
  • Standard. Flicked through my playlist and picked out some options.
  • Difficult. Took me a while and/or googling to find anything that would fit.

I couldnā€™t find a song without a scream

You basically said: hereā€™s an easily-defined subgenre where most of it probably counts.

I have a bunch of songs with screams but for most of them I was afraid they might be a bit too much.

Cool cool, thanks for the feedback. I was trying to make it pretty open for people to find matches within some different genres, but working out good categories is a lot more tricky than it seems at a glance so just wanted to get some more data.

It seems like my category may have been the toughest (outside of maybe the YEAH! category) but I am incredibly interested to see what you guys chose.

Dont be surprised if Iā€™m the first to reveal.

your category was just songs on Video Game soundtracks at the end, that wasnā€™t hard. your original category was tough.

Yeah I guess. I know we arent all gamers though so Iā€™m sure there was some difficulty for those who arent that versed in the medium

Iā€™m not versed in the medium and found that I had decent amount of choices that i actually like without forcing one after the category change.

All of the categories were good imo. I think the drumming one would have been the hardest for me as I never really thought of the drumming of a song in particular, but I somehow had a pick in mind real early and stuck with it.

Iā€™m excited to see what you chose, and those of your fellow non-gamers.

I think itā€™s time to say how annoyed I am that Iā€™d already introduced you to the scream in ā€œGood Morning, Captainā€. What with it being not just the best scream, but about the best moment in musical history.

I needed to do some research for your category but I found something I liked and hope you will like as well. There are some other categories I am still struggling with including ā€œlove songsā€ which should be easy but for some reason isnā€™t for me.

Yours was the easiest for me, but Iā€™m a gamer and always have been. I actually think finding an orchestral VG track was easier than a mainstream song that was used in a game, since pretty much every gameā€™s background/ambient tracks are orchestral. But YMMV :woman_shrugging:
