I feel like I'm going to fail -- our tastes overlap so much that it's hard to find songes and it seems like everyone else did a really good job -- I don't think I'd heard of a single artist from today's round. Whereas I'm like "have you listened to lord huron they're so trendý"There will be no kisses tonight
There will be no holding hands tonight

This was also a core problem for me and my solution was to try and find music that was markedly out of his tasteIn post 110, Chevre wrote:our tastes overlap so much that it's hard to find songes

i have not listened to lord huron !!!!!!! moreover people should generally not be ashamed if they submitted epic pop songs / are chevre and looking to submit epic pop songs bc there's plenty of them that i am not familiar with and would love a reason to epically pore over them for grading purposes
i looked back at your reasons for it after grading it & i think your idea made sense, its just hard for me with that cat in particular to -discover- aspects of something that are inscrutable over the week of bouncing a song around. this was also a problem with hellby's entry i believeIn post 115, MUSHSHAGANA wrote:That Ed Rush song was also a definite weak submission on my part egh- MUSHSHAGANA

And no before the obvious gets asked I wouldn’t ever force someone to sit through You and Me and Rainbows no matter how fucking tempting it would be to submit that goddamn helltrip in that category
Was thinking Circles in the Sand. Not asking for (in fact refusing in case one is offered) a rescore, just... yeah.- shaft.ed

my thinking was in one part the pairing. When one thinks of bassoon and harpsichord pairings (granted, most probably don't at all) you get some sort of Baroque ensemble music as probably the only possible genre fit. I took the dissonance between the title and the actual performance a little different from yourself. I found it quite interesting that if you listen to the lines that both the harpsichord and bassoon play, they follow eachother quite closely in most places. What makes the duet interesting to me is that by phasing in and out of unison, it creates a really great tapestry that fits together better than if they were actually in unisonIn post 104, schadd_ wrote:0.6 of the catfit points here come from the dual presence of some sort of plucked sound as well as a typical harpsichord sound. maybe i'm not familiar with all the ways you can play a harpsichord or maybe there are multiple performers but i am compelled to visualize somebody mashing on the keys and then like instantly fluttering over to the bare rear of the instrument where they trill away on the strings directly.
Also, this is a single player on each instrument. The symmetry I liked is that both musicians are playing unusually. You picked up on the plucking harpsichord. There is also a lot of note bending and growling coming from the bassoon. Feeds in well with the personalities you were conveying to the lines.- schadd_

yes i suppose one would expect a baroque thing from those instruments - that hadnt occurred to me though
i guess the thing about this is that the whole construction of the song immediately makes me think of it as art music and so i just naturally look for the creative artistic choices in it, which automatically creates an affirmative character for it. like i would envision the artists hearing whatever interpretation i offered and being like "oh that's interesting, i see where you're coming from!! :)" maybe i should have helped you out by picturing them as snooty french academics with mustaches that would be like "oh hon hon hon.... but the messáge is right there in front of you and you eáre missing ít!!!". i had noticed and enjoyed the thing where they're mostly in unison, or closely imitating each other, but then would desynchronize aggressively at moments - it felt like two predatory creatures stalking around each other and occasionally making lunges to attack
don't think i noticed the note bending of the bassoon though. thats definitely something that coulda made me go "i have no idea how you would do that." other than that idk if there was a way i would have given it that much more inscrutability points, but i probably undersold you for the enjoyment points, it was a rly interesting song. great sub in any case, was rly excited to look up the submitter in my spreadsheet and seeshafted ??
i think i already tenuously recommended it to you deep in the bowels of one of the monthly music posts that were hard for you to read, but i wonder if you would like the coin coin series by matana roberts- shaft.ed

I will check it outIn post 120, schadd_ wrote:i wonder if you would like the coin coin series by matana roberts
In my previous life, I played bassoon
I had this track on a CD that I played the heck out of back in HS
although I underappreciated it at the time
Also, note bending on a bassoon is super easy. It's harder to keep in tune lol
Had a part in a song that was meant to represent a drunkard and I got to play all kinds of bendy out of pitch for that
I naively didn't expect you to think so hard about the incongruence and more just think "wtf are they doing to those instruments?"- schadd_
