I’ll go Monday or Tuesday afternoon PST. Not sure which day yet.
Sunday
Just dropped in to say this is correct.
Hot damn, a podium! Let’s just assume I would have performed a wildly inappropriate celebration, like flipping my bat into the ball boy’s groin, or humping the goalposts
Sorry brah gonna have to delay until Tuesday
I have learned new information which leads me to believe I will not do well in Superuberbob’s category
I’ll try to have mine ready for sometime next weekend.
I’ve got 9th and 10th all written up. Parsing 1st through 8th has proven to be quite the daunting task.
idk, I don’t think spoken word is going to have a super strong playlist. You might do fine.
Should be good for tomorrow at 2pm PST.
And just for any people waiting on the timezone independent version:

ZOMG I didn’t realize cassette said “tomorrow” yesterday this is HUGE NEWS
I was hoping this would be the first category where I actually enjoy more than a couple entries but looks like we’re off to a bad start . Not late night here but hoping this has the right vibes for a work morning where I need to be in the zone (and block out a chatty patient across the way). That said the Zero 7 song is pretty boring and was popular enough that I’m surprised someone submitted it.
Edit: 9th place song was also awful
I’m in hell, gonna go back to listening to this patient blabber on about his life

Starting in about 45 minutes…
As a reminder:
Category host name: cassette
Category: 10,000 Hours: A song that features an expert performance. A lot of songs are great in part because of their simplicity. A lot of punk, rock, and hip hop might be described this way. After a few weeks of practice, a 12-year-old could play most Ramones tunes or at least mumble along with most of hip hop’s greats. But some songs don’t work this way. They require a lot of practice. So pick a song that is great but also has an expert amount of skill needed for the performance. I’ll leave this pretty open. If you think it qualifies, then it does. You don’t need to find a once-in-a-generation virtuoso (though you might), but try to pick something that you think would take at least a few years of dedicated practice to pull off.
Musical tastes: Loud, weird, some bleeps and bloops, punk and metal, rap (mostly 2010 and earlier), anyone with just a guitar, country (think Townes Van Zandt rather than Garth Brooks), quiet stuff too. Pretty much anything goes, but avoid bands that were designed by an executive somewhere if possible.
Notes: All genres welcome. Don’t limit yourself to solo cello performances and the like. Preference will be given to the best songs, will level of skill just being a filter. Pure math rock noodling or whatever isn’t an automatic win.
I’m gonna be so pissed if I nodium here
We’ll see how this goes.
No idea how I’ll do in this one.
I was pretty happy with these submissions. Y’all did good. There was perhaps one pandering submission but for the most part I think people went with their heart.
