[Rivaldo]

Cruel Little Number

Wait are we doing things already?

Just Rivaldo indulging in a spot of walrus bombing.

Can we send partial submissions? I already made picks for a few categories and it would give the judges more time to listen to them.

Updates

1. Let’s extend the submission window just a little. End of day, Sunday 26th is the deadline for submissions.

2. We can assume the list of entrants is now final. There is 14 in total, which means you have 13 entries to find. I have made an edit to the “Master categories post” at Walrus grab bag - signup thread - #88 by seities to add in Nicholasp27. I have also edited it so that you can send entries for every category to me, except for my category. This is so that I can forward them on to the host of each category and they can judge the tracks without knowing who submitted what.

3. SwankyWilder has kindly offered to accept the 13 entries for my category, and send them on to me. The “master categories post” has been updated to reflect this.

4. General submission tip - be mindful of song length. I love my 20 minute epics but it’s a real slog to listen to a long track that you are not into.

You can start sending your submissions as soon as you like, and you can send them category by category if it’s easier for you than sending in one block. As soon as all submissions for someones category are in, I will forward on to them so they can start listening sooner. Any other questions or comments on how I can make this easier/more enjoyable please let me know.

You can start sending them to me as soon as you like, if that makes things easier for you. I will probably not send them to the host until all submissions for their category are in though, because it’s going to make my life a bit easier in terms of distributing to each category host.

[SwankyWilder]

Appreciate all your efforts in this seities, I’m good to take the entries for your category

[seities]

tyty Swanky :-) I’ve updated a few relevant posts so people know to send to you.

I’m struggling with the Debut Single. Does it have to be the first dated single on their Wikipedia page? Or can it be a single off their debut album? Can it be from their major label debut album, rather than singles they released on the interwebs? I’m struggling to determine the “debut single” unless I look into 60’s bands.

Are we supposed to be doing something?

@Jalfrezi

You’ll be lucky. I got told off in my walrus for asking for tracks featuring a saxophone.

Right, how can we expect people to know music with such obscure instruments as [checks notes] the saxophone? Granted, that category would be tougher to pull off than mine.

I’ll take ANYTHING JAPANESE. A traditional piece of Japanese music, written by a Japanese composer for any genre, played by a Japanese musician or band, played predominantly on a Japanese instrument, etc.

You can start preparing submissions. All info is in these two posts:

Walrus grab bag - signup thread

All categories are submitted and in this post. Contestants can use it as a reference and template if they want to. You can easily send all these entries to me by clicking my name in this post. You will get an option to message me, and it will use this post to do so. Then you can just go through and add all your submissions. Remember - manually remove my category from the end and send that to SwankyWilder. Let me know if this is unclear or I can make it easier somehow. End of day Sunday the 26th…

My preference would be first listed on wikipedia, but single off debut album seems fine. Major label album is pushing it a bit if there have already been previous releases, but I’m not going to try and catch anybody out.
I’m just looking for the first release that the general public could acquire in whatever format

[seities]

Chotto.

In a previous Walrus there was a category for any non-english track. Some people still had trouble finding submissions.

I’m going to say again I genuinely like the idea of what you are going for. I actually realised I have a track for this category that I would be happy to submit. But your category is still not broad enough for this particular Walrus because usually people have to find 5-7 submissions total. This one is currently calling for 13.

We are already into the submission phase so I’m afraid you are going to have to sit this one out, but I hope somebody puts together another Walrus that is something like a “treasure hunt” theme, where categories are a bit more specific. That way the participants will have a bit more research to do, but get to broaden their musical horizons some more. I would like to be a part of that. I think “anything Japanese” or “otamatone” would be a better fit for that sort of Walrus.

[eyebooger]

I’m in.

I’ll be submitting today
