congratulations to:
winner of submitting first and doing discord emoji reacts (which is i guess a pithy way of saying i appreciated your presence in this game & the reveals a lot in general). also highest ratio of song enjoyment to catfit lolmajiffy:
winner of being betrayed by the devilish english language (9.4 spanish language average vs. 7.5 english) AND being betrayed by my devilish self for magically already knowing the artists you like AND being betrayed by my devilish self for putting my reveal at a time where you can only get there for the last songpink ball:
winner of evidently having fun with the categories lol AND making me not quite laugh but experience a bunch of various laughing-adjacent emotions whilst listening to the song and figuring out how the hell im supposed to score it. and unfortunately there wasnt a medal associated with thatskygazer:
winner of biggest differential of getting guessed between walruses AND 45 minutes award (medal for taking about 45 minutes to pick your songs) AND the last walruschickadee:
winner of confounding me with submissions (specifically the two times i laughed at the song and the time i laughed at you being the mitski submitter and the time i had the exact opposite season for rammstein and the fact i got duped by the second system of a down)t3:
winner of lowest standard deviation AND most honest walrus (i.e., highest ratio of honest walrus score to regular score at 1.13). which is to say they just submitted a bunch of solid songs and only placed low bc i saw their signature and made 2 rules against wgeurts which are "dont give them my stupid medals" and "dont give them invisible cats"wgeurts:
winner of "other" points i.e. unfamiliarity and not being guessed, which was almost a perfect score except for that i had heard one stray album from public service broadcasting. the funny thing is that i felt like i had a confident guess for cdb every time, like i know them from song contest and whatever. i think its fitting that the medal you got was in the novel musicianship thingy. oh AND winner of running song contest.channeldelibird:
winner of being a 30-something man (by an EXTREMELY narrow margin) AND (tied for) highest honest score of a single song (and i think that that one should win the tiebreaker because i just seemed to be less willing to award rly high catfit scores as the thing went on) AND not submitting the band tooltoolenduso:
winner of convenience as a name i could like throw around as a theoretical submitter for basically any song AND best hellbooks frame of all time in cat 5 like literally there were so many things that aligned that made me like 98% sure that was her AND strong ceejayvinoya frame in cat 2 AND best soundboard usageinfinity 324:
winner of worst performancedeathrowkitty:
winner of most mushshagana award royalties received AND most words written about the submission AND most words read and liked by me about the submission AND honest walrus 3rd place :Xmushshagana:
winner of most epic walrus-wide symphonic metal buildup AND most reveals attended maybe (i didnt keep track) AND first person to open their own walrus AND most aesthetically pleasing trophy case:biancospino:
winner of self restraint for not sending me another song from crazy ex girlfriend in spite of getting a gold medal from it last time AND greatest variety of encouraging comments levied against other contestants AND, as always, winner of spiritual presence and support whilst i'm working in my spreadsheetchevre:
winner of honest walrus :Xhellbrooks:
runner up of honest walrus :X AND first submission to make me listen to the album (bothy band) AND first submission to make use of the irish radar (bothy band) AND quietly thought provoking catfits. like frankly by the time of cat 8 i was like "ok i'm pretty sure this one is invisibility so there like definitely has to be something interesting here"invisibility:
spiritual winner of song unfamiliarity because i took a total of 0.1 points away from the wicked song due to it containing idina menzel who was in uncut gems and also did that frozen song that i guess i know. but you sent me like 8 songs that are like generally a sort of thing that i rarely listen to (and one kpop song). Music for Women in a Hurryisis:
easy winner of sending songs that are 3 minutes and 46 seconds AND runner up for being a name i could throw around as a submitter guess (but only bc i didnt really know what kind of music you listen to and kind of still dont)ceejayvinoya:
winner of making me shrink his Damn trophy case to the smallest font to make it fit & also they kept wanting to collapse in on each other because of the crappy open source version of excel i'm using & it looked like this until i clicked on it or something. also winner of middest standard deviation (1.7244 which is 11th out of 24)pj:
winner of .. there's various things i could serve up here but the thing that sticks out in my mind is the fact that you submitted rehab. idk how to word that as a "winner of" statement. but it was cool. i was like "woah cool."cheetory6:
winner of . . . . . i dont know how to put this but music that i can give medals to such that it seems like i am capable of touching grass AND most points from medalsaristophanes:
winner of songs i liked the most, quite simply. which probably includes my favorite song of the walrus. AND winner of article writing for the school newspaperrrstinkycheesedan:
SURPRISING winner of being tris! AND song i listened to the most times in general (shostakovich prelude) AND largest amount of top 4 placings AND most points earned from top 4 placings AND possibly the only perfect paper of 8 (actually 9) completely unfamiliar artiststris:
winner of ... being rooted for by me if we are being honestaisa:
winner of highest single song score AND lowest single song score AND best newcomer AND the walrusfireisredsir:-

daniela pes ca miraIn post 236, schadd_ wrote: WOW this is an album starter ok that's cool. for a while i assumed it was like, sending me this song is like just showing me the end of 2001 a space odyssey. ok that's awesome. i've had my sights on this artist a little bit for a while and i'm glad i didn't get like spoiled for this album
also this entry made me remember that i had plans to listen to julia holter and i listened to two albums from her at some point however both of them were not aviary. i feel like there's something like "winner of me listening to your albums in the wrong way" because i also listened to the hana stretton album fireisredsir sent, during the walrus about a month before i got to cat 8. however i am partially choosing to award this to infinity because when i listened to the julia holter albums i went back to thinking they were the submitter-

basically no. i would say that the beloved one was an example of a cat that should have been unrevealed but i just handed it over to two people i wanted to give bonus pointsIn post 326, tris wrote: did any invisi cats go unrevealed?
well it is approximate listening orderIn post 327, tris wrote: you have sky gazer's drum solo in the drum cat listening order twice and are missing someone else presumably-

there should be a medal for submitting something from an album that also has the song "timer" by laura nyro on it that is worth 7 000 000 000 points, can we think about getting this retrofitted-

many thanks to schadd for hosting and just being generally cool, but also thanks to all the submitters who submitted such good music!! i found a lot of music that i really like from these submissions and so i wanted to share my favorite song from each of the participants if u don't mind. i think they deserve some extra appreciation

I'm glad schadd and books seem to be enjoying Laura Nyro. I actually am not familiar with either Emmie or Timer off the top of my head, I'll have to remedy that
I'm really impressed you managed to listen to most/all of the submissions from the walrus, and thanks for sharing what your favourites are. While I obviously like all of my submissions, Joni Mitchell in particular is one of my absolute favourite artists, so I'm happy she's getting some attention!In post 342, fireisredsir wrote: joni mitchell - the jungle line
my selection here is a little more limited cause i know (and generally like) half of aisa's songs already, she easily wins on that metric. but jungle line is the best regardless. ive only heard a little joni mitchell and while her writing is always v good, here i especially like everything else that's going on around her voice. the drums, the synth, the voices in the background. it's all great
I'm still really enjoying Iris DeMent-
