Bahahahahahaha

Of course I win this category!

I’ve probably taken over last place from you if that’s true.

CanadaMatt3004 · January 9, 2022, 3:00am

I might be in last. Eighth this round

Yuv · January 9, 2022, 3:06am

lies

CanadaMatt3004 · January 9, 2022, 3:52am

Last I checked US weeks end on Sunday

Yuv · January 9, 2022, 3:59am

preemptive lies

superuberbob · January 9, 2022, 8:29am

Nope.

Anyway, I’ll be revealing sometime this afternoon/evening

Thanks to Boogie Woogie and Suzzy Wuzzy for doing their reveals!

I’ve updated the scoring sheet and also made a minor change. It seems right that the “drops” should apply to a base score, not a base score that has had a joker multiplier added. So I change that in the results.

We have a new leader, SUB, with Sky .5 behind. Neither have revealed yet so there is some correction to come.

Yuv is being harshly punished for his consistency and may actually benefit from coming last in one of the coming reveals.

Boogie Woogie is holding down last place rather impressively, but with an expected three wins in a row and a joker up his sleeve he is clearly the favorite.

Yuv · January 9, 2022, 6:01pm

i’m not going to benefit from coming last. it’s just that coming last or coming 3rd is the same right now for me, which is impressively stupid.

Walrus Grab Bag 6 - Sign Up and Categories

Category host name: superuberbob

Category: Guitarless rock bands. Two conditions must be met to fit this category

The band must not have a guitarist employed as a member

The song that you pick from that band must not use a guitar (bass okay though). So a normally guitarless band featuring a guest guitarist would not count.

Musical tastes: The topic restricts you to rock music and my music tastes skew towards rock. I honestly don’t know how many guitarless rock bands there are and how much music they’ve produced. I can’t think of one off the top of my head and I’m curious to see what you find.

Any other judging notes: I assume most of what I get is going to be obscure and unknown to me since a guitar is considered an essential tool of a popular rock band. So I doubt it’ll play a role in evaluating the best of the group.

Oh boy, I remember this one. Go ahead and chalk me up for last.

eyebooger · January 9, 2022, 8:00pm

These last 3 categories were the ones I felt most confident in.

I’ll be a little sad if I get another last place.

anon29622970 · January 9, 2022, 8:01pm

I’m assuming I will do terribly here

superuberbob · January 9, 2022, 8:03pm

Some notes about this category

One band represented three of the selections and two of the songs.
Knowing that, two of you picked the same song.
The winner was one by a landslide
There was only one true stinker in this category. A handful were mediocre. A couple of good ones and a very good one.

Yuv · January 9, 2022, 8:04pm

i’m 100% in this one. can’t remember even which of their songs i ended up sending though

anon29622970 · January 9, 2022, 8:06pm

I’m guessing this is me too

superuberbob · January 9, 2022, 8:11pm

In 9th place (1 point)

“Bronze” by Almost

Basically spent the duration of this song going

I wish I had something more insightful to say but I just don’t.

Tilted · January 9, 2022, 8:14pm

Music video seems pretty elite though. What a song.
