fwiw even if you don’t feel comfortable joining the contest it’s really cool when people rail and add some comments here and there so thanks for posting. Will be pretty impressed if you have nailed Matt’s submission without having to think about his leanings as much as people who have submitted to his categories before!

I’ll take this one. I actually was in a van on my way back from the Hoover Dam when I randomly went to a song on my Spotify Discover Weekly. Thanks Spotify!

Well no, that speaks for itself.

It’s more that I know you have found stuff you enjoyed via Walrus (I know I have won at least one of your categories) - but I am not feeling as dialed in on your tastes and was being lazy in asking you to point out some examples instead of looking through your past reveals myself.

usually whatever swanky sends, but he’s gone now :frowning:

it’s hard to say what i like without also ending up gravitating towards the same things which isn’t really the idea.

usually it needs to have some edge and groove to it, but those are pretty lame definitions too. the song you sent had a pretty cool beginning to it, it just didn’t go anywhere after.

i think the 2020 category here had a lot of strong entries:

i also think you usually do well in my categories

edit - i did trash some of the entries in that one too. maybe i’m just a grumpy asshole

Cool cool - my perception without going through your previous reveals again is edge/groove but also generally a bit less production-heavy.

Anyways, genuinely not complaining or bothered about where my song landed, just curious!

this one i actually wrote that i liked all the songs

i was probably high

This was mine. I originally had a real Pauwl song picked (dream pop etc), but then heard this and remembered you said you like songs with rhythm and went with this. I loved this category. I’m always listening to new music all day.

Nostalgia. This was in heavy rotation on MTV back in the day.

For me as a lurker it will immensely help if the reveals have a short recap of what the category is.

I repost my category before I reveal and post what I would have entered. I would suggest others do the same.

This was Yuv’s category

  1. New Song, song you’ve never heard until reading the post on Nov 25

this feels like criticism. i consider this an act of war.
