Song Contest 84 (RESUUUUULTS UP!)

[xRECKONERx]

no it's not

[xRECKONERx]

I hate them AND dislike their music because it doesn't really strike me as particularly great a capella, they just had good marketing people brand them as "great, hip, trendy" a capella and everyone gobbled it up like so much cum.

also, they all look like fucking DOUCHEBAGS

i would just relish the chance to punch any and all of them in the face, LOOK AT THEIR FUCKING PUNCHABLE DOUCHEY FACES

[xRECKONERx]

it's not just that video




they're just all so FUCKIN DOUCHEY

[xRECKONERx]

Wtf is this contest

[xRECKONERx]

Ukraine: Pretty generic 70's softish rock. Not bad but not oustanding? (B)

Greenland: It's still so fucking weird to me that Robert Delong is on the radio now. This isn't my favorite song of his but I like it well enough. I'm sure his shows are awesome. (A-)

Mali: This is the first swing and a miss for Mali in a long time. The song is just boring as fuck. It's pretty but it's boring. (C)

Sealand: Oh another Dropkick Murphys-esque band. Cool. Sort of. (B)

Wales: oh shit I fell asleep (C-)

Estonia: no (C-)

Spain: I can't believe I dug this as much as I did (B+)

South Africa: oh my god fuck off (F)

Macedonia: She's adorable, this song is adorable, her voice is adorable. Wowsers. (A-)

Laos: I apologize, Laos, but I am just so biased against 21 Pilots. I find them really awkward, and try hard, and really just not that good, and a lot of that is because my husband BLARES THEM THROUGH THE HOUSE ALL THE FUCKING TIME. (F)

Singapore: Ehhhh i mean it's something. It's not great. It's pretty generic. (C)

Chile: I feel like I'm racist if I don't give this points, so white guilt will probably win out here. (B-)

India: This gives me a headache. Absolutely awful. Terrible. (F)

Iceland: I hate his voice. And the music is like...pretty much every other song ever. (D)

USA: ANIME MUSIC FUCK YEAH [fuck no] (F)

Scotland: God I love Supergrass. I still have a couple of their CDs in a box at my mom's house. Kick ass song. (B+)

Turkmenistan: I'm vibin'. Don't hate. (B+)

St. Lucia: Submitting Charli XCX? Brave. I don't hate this as much as I wanted to, actually, but I still don't like it. I don't think. (C-)

Tuvalu: zzzz I fell asleep tho (D)

Belarus: please stop this. (F)

Burkina Faso: Ehhh maybe points. This contest is really bad so it's not a hard bar to beat. (C)

Gabon: "Oh yay, the Kooks are back" said nobody ever. This was tolerable for half-assed rock though. The video also just pissed me the fuck off. (C-)

Greece: This wins points by not being offensively awful like virtually everything else in this contest...but not by much. Reminds me of Whitney Houston circa-I'm Your Baby Tonight for some weird reason.

Isle of Man: 9 minutes of free jazz. I salute you for trying. (ä→c◘)

Cuba: fuck off & die (F)

[xRECKONERx]

[xRECKONERx]

too bad your song SUCKED CDB

[xRECKONERx]

does being the smartest kid in the special ed class REALLY mean anything tho?

[xRECKONERx]

please shut the fuck up

[xRECKONERx]

You are just being a raging dickhole and like nobody is sitting here asking for it or even provoking you... you're just being miserable for the sake of being miserable. Why do you even bother being on the site when you clearly hate all of us

plebs

so much?

[xRECKONERx]

Jesus, there's no "in crowd". I don't know fucking anybody that posts in SC on a regular basis except for quadz & UT. Your persecution complex is stunning.

Having opinions doesn't make you a dickhole. The way you express them and the hostility you seem to bring to nearly every thread, however, does. There are plenty of people on this site I disagree with but they're not assholes when they express their opinions and I can respect that.

[xRECKONERx]

No, Quilford -- everyone in the Song Contest is in a conspiracy to only submit music that KoC dislikes and make sure to give his entries very little points, then gang up on him when he's an asshole publicly.

WAKE UP

[xRECKONERx]

Yeah I think generally the last two have been fucking out of this world honestly

[xRECKONERx]

eh, this one was very mediocre, imo

nothing really blew me away this time, but there was less outright crap too
reck you're the one who gave like half the contest F's on your first listen this time what are you even talking about

I was more making a reference to the fact that I joined the SC team for the past two contests and that's why they were better

[xRECKONERx]

JESUS CHRIST

[xRECKONERx]

Yes, KoC, clearly my presence as an admin doing behind-the-scenes work to help out quadz is DIRECTLY related to what songs people choose to submit and overall contest quality!

[xRECKONERx]

I have suggested shorter deadlines to quadz. The biggest thing is that it's a lot of work on our end at each phase of the contest, so I'd support something like:

- 1 week in between contests
- 1 week submission deadline
- 2 weeks for voting

That way we're hitting one contest each month. I'd be open to making that even shorter, but it would depend on a lot. I'm looking at options to code some of this to be automatic so there's less hours of bullshit involved.

[xRECKONERx]

we just said today 'hey we should do song contest'

its comin

[xRECKONERx]

we lied

[xRECKONERx]

UGH

[xRECKONERx]

if quadz doesnt get it done ill try to get this up tomorrow @ work
