Rejected Submissions: CURSE Edition: Vol 2: Being Extremely Normal About My Current Favorite Artist

Cat 1: Memorrhage - Utility
Rejected because
1: it's not released yet (that's tomorrow!),
2: I dislike the album cut compared to the prerelease cut I got to hear (album version had label meddling with mixed results),
3: honestly, schadd_ probably wouldn't like even the prerelease cut as much as the song I chose to begin with.

Cat 2, 5: https://memorrhage.bandcamp.com/track/purple-graft
Rejected because while it's got creepy vibes, it's soft shoegazy nu-trap metal and it fucks. Also, it strikes me as bad for synchronized swimming -- too slow in the beginning, then too fast when the amens hit.

Cat 5: Memorrhage - Ex-Sprite
Rejected because no one would do synchronized swimming to scream-raps. They should, but they never would. Also, not released. Tomorrow!

Cat 8: Seasons (Autumn): https://memorrhage.bandcamp.com/track/old-wave-2
Rejected because I like the challenge of paired songs much more.

Cat 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Qo7VoAubkM
Rejected because schadd_ would definitely not like it, I wasn't going to actually ever list only one artist even for an shitpost like this, and I thought it would be funny to insert lo-fi caveman slams into the nu metal list.

Cat 7: Memorrhage - Infect
Rejected because it's not going to be out until next year when LP2 drops, and I have complicated feelings about the lyrics (which are based on some I wrote last year). This is the one that sparked the idea for trying to force a Memorrhage song in at all costs, which then became this subpar shitpost. I genuinely wanted to include Infect today but couldn't justify leaking the track. There are two soft-released LP2 tracks, but this isn't one of them.

its up to your judgement but this isnt necessarily a reason not to submit something to cat 5

some more notes about music i like lately

• im not a metalhead but i believe in their beliefs
  
• i really like neat musical usages of a second interval (i.e. when you play piano keys that are next to each other)
  
• basically any musician who is a woman that releases music under her first and last name from before 2000 is like 1000% guaranteed to be good
  
• i seem to have logged about 8 times as much albums from the year of 2022 as in the decade of the 1980s
  
• ugh this is dope

Perusing the songs Schadd's entered in the song contest and realizing you definitely watch Fantano

[schadd_]

i don't really, though i have in the past a little bit. i think that there's like this big bank of music-that-people-from-the-internet-like that informs both my and his music listening a lot

that makes sense

[MUSHSHAGANA]

I'm permanently ahead of the curve when it comes to Fantano, to the point of being eternally frustrated when half of my favorite bands have people saying "ah yes I too watch The Needle Drop!" I've never consumed a single frame of his content, and he discovered all of my music months to years after I've been talking it up.

Right now, there's a campaign to make Memorrhage the next artist he does this to me with, and honestly? Fair enough, at least I have proof I was here first this time (pre-mastered tracks in .wav format).

The thing ------------> I have done it

[T3]

I will submit something at some point in the near future

[T3]

After careful deliberation I have submitted some stuff

Rejected entries:

Drums:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WLubS6QOM ... 5vdA%3D%3D
Eyeless by Slipknot
I thought it was too heavy. Also the drums peak at the beginning and don’t do a whole lot later in the song
Songs that you can’t listen to twice:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G_sBOsh-vyI
Knights of Cydonia by Muse
I was choosing between a sad song and a happy song, I chose the sad song, this was the happy song. This song is grand and energetic and I like it a lot.
Songs that complement each other:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kidRr7s6z ... kgcGlja2Vy
Teddy Picker by Arctic Monkeys
And
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zo-x4PU8S ... Bzbw%3D%3D
Say It Ain’t So by Weezer
I found better songs. Tbh these songs complement each other but not that well, they’re both guitar pop/rock with similar vibes.

[Skygazer]

teddy picker always reminds me of crash bandicoot

[Aisa]

How bad is it if I only submit for 4-5 categories?
It has become apparent that I don't know much music

[Invisibility]

I think you should try to do all the categories as long as you know eight songs. Could be more interesting that way even

[schadd_]

^she is right

[schadd_]

in particular, you should feel free to populate the 4-5 cats you're confident with & then just put whatever you like for 2-4 of them

[Isis]

I like my song a lot in this cat but I know tris and hellbooks will not. Is that how you walrus?

no
you only submit songs the organizers won't like when schadd is running it

I'm ready

[wgeurts]

I'm struggling with 2 categories, how long do I have

[schadd_]

couple weeks!

[Isis]

Lore keepers of walrus how often has the same song been submitted twice

[tris]

as far as i can recall, it hasnt happened.... ..yet.....

[MUSHSHAGANA]

I wonder if someone could submit the same song to every category, just through covers and remixes.

[schadd_]

i dont think its spelled out in the rules anywhere that the songs have to be different, although "7 or 8 songs" does imply that there should be like more than 1 song. if somebody did that i would only penalize them via the unfamiliarity although that would be a somewhat large amount of points
