Welcome. This is where we’ll say exactly how terrible at choosing and listening to songs we all are.
Etiquette
Think we should aim for just one reveal a day, though if schedules demand more then they demand it. It’d be good to post your intention, and I will attempt to keep an OFFICIAL SCHEDULE up to date in the second post of the thread.
What’s a reveal?
Easiest thing to do is read one in the previous Grab Bag thread.
But the essentials are you do a post per song, with the score given, the YT link and some words summarising your thoughts about it. Reveals are traditionally done in reverse order.
Best to @ everyone a little while before you start.
Scoring
12th and last place = 1 point, 1st place = 12 points, fill in the gaps.
Timing
Afraid as a pathetic Euro I’ll be tucked up in bed by 7pm Eastern at the latest, so if it’s after that then I won’t be about to clear up who submitted what. In the past we’ve often done them before that and it seems to produce a rail, but I’m not going to impose my daytime on the rest of you, obviously.
Best thing to do is advertise the rough start time when you book a slot.
For real going through and reading the reveal thread from the last grab bag is a lot of fun.
I lol’d all over again seeing @CanadaMatt3004 ’s extreme enthusiasm heading into the first reveal, followed immediately by his song being revealed in last place. Also just lots of funny comments all through the thread.
It’s also super fun when other people comment about liking your submission, even if it places poorly in a reveal. Its why I try to err on the side of more risky submissions if I am stuck between a few options.
