The Mask's music competition *VOTE NOW* [Archive]

Hello

right now there isn't much new music i like, or at least it appears that way, however i am sure there is stuff i haven't heard of that i would like. so i have decided to create A COMPETITION. I figure there should be prizes of some kind, although i am not sure what at this time. perhaps if the winner is american come the turn of the year you can have my leftover dollars, plus the 20 kalyx owes me. this will be roughly the princely sum of $54 assuming kalyx doesn't flake.

anyway, the rules:

1. you can only post one song per week
2. i have to be able to find the song on spotify, or you have to link it to me via youtube.
3. if i know the song or the band, it won't win because this is about finding me music i haven't heard.
4. i will score it 15pts for my favourite track of the week, 10 for second and 5 for third. whoever is top come new year wins.

perhaps if you guys want to you can play along too and at the end of the week just pick your one favourite song that has been posted (but not your own), the song with the most votes gets a bonus 10 points.

HAVE AT IT LADS

I trust you'll be listening to the song in full? Shouldn't be a big task since you'll only be getting one from evryone a week.

i suppose i will. although if someone posts a crappy fucking 50 minute death metal epic they can fuck off.

By the way, I give this maybe a day and a half before it turns into a Diesel Mac Metallica tribute thread.

Ok, gimme some bands you like and I'll try finding something to fit your musical taste. Cause if for instance you are a trance or black metal fan, there's no way I can help you.

The Mask

i would probably classify myself as a hard rock fan, like i'm sure an easy way to win this might be to post something tuneful with distorted guitars.

all time favourite bands are probably:

led zep
nirvana
black sabbath
failure
queen

plus i really love biffy clyro this past several months.

HOWEVER. i also like things you might not think i would, like jazz or classical or 80s/very early 90s hip hop. to my eternal shame GTA san andreas even got me into country a little.

it will probably be hard to pick rock stuff i like that i don't already know though.

led zep
nirvana=failure
black sabbath
queen

Fixed that for ya.

The Mask

wahey. you are like my little brother. i killed nirvana for him cause i loved it so much and instead he turned into an 80s motley crue fan like yourself. he even had a nikki sixx haircut for a while, although everybody thought he looked like russel brand which was brilliant.

Sixx

10-13-2009, 04:16 PM

I don't really blame my sister for killing Nirvana for me. I blame Nirvana.

You don't like Pantera, and you probably don't like country, so here's for you:

Tell me how you like it.

The Mask

also just cause i don't like pantera doesn't necessarily mean i don't like metal. i love sepultura :'(

The Mask

10-13-2009, 04:40 PM

nah i will get round to sorting this out in a weeks time gents. i am gonna listen to the songs as much as possible between now and next tues, in the hope that they will grow on me and i will be able to give an honest assessment.

If I don't win the week you're so going to be getting the fucking hokey pokey next week.

10-13-2009, 04:51 PM

that's pretty good.

also just cause i don't like pantera doesn't necessarily mean i don't like metal. i love sepultura :'(

I just mentioned Pantera and country because that's the whole Pantera line-up with a legendary country singer David Allan Coe on vocals.

Now something that always puts me in a good mood, but you might know it as it's a cover version of a pretty well known song, and it's performed by Brits.

Anberlin- Miserable Visu

Kinda doesn't help you find new music tho, since this is one of their very few standout songs. BUT THE RULES SAID NOTHING ABOUT THAT

Anyhow, it is one of those start off slow and build to a mighty cresendo type songs, and I've been playing it quite a bit lately.
