[ratammer]

Wow!

I'll start a new round off sometime soon.

[ratammer]

OK, since no-one seemed against it, let's do a round of songs you made yourself. To give people time to make something, I'll give two weeks for this, so deadline is 26th March. And remember, even if you don't want to participate in this, you can still vote, so be around in two weeks for that!

[commodorejohn]

Q: something made for the contest, or can it be something we've already made?

[ratammer]

It's fine if you've already made it.

[heuristically_alone]

Can I submit a song I've made in the future?

[ratammer]

[ratammer]

Reminder that there's less than a week left to get your entries in!

[ratammer]

Due to a lack of entries, I'm pushing back the deadline by a week. It is now on 2nd April.

[ratammer]

Please vote by 10th April! Remember you can vote even if you didn't enter.

• Melting
• The Road Goes Ever On
• Thunderstorm
• Wishing Well

[ratammer]

Congratulations, somi!

[heuristically_alone]

Nice somi!

[somitomi]

Wow, thanks everyone. I actually had a hard time ranking the songs, all of them were great, so I didn't expect to win.

I had an idea for a theme when this round started, but I can't remember it...

[commodorejohn]

Well done :)

[somitomi]

Okay, I can't think of anything right now, so send me whatever you like before the 22nd of April.

[heuristically_alone]

I will send a bouquet of flowers.

[somitomi]

As long as I can put a link to it in a forum post so others can experience it, sure. Maybe not a "song" in the strictest sense of the word, but I'm open to artistic experiments.

[ratammer]

Are the songs ready?

[somitomi]

Yeah, I just thought I'd wait for the 22nd to be over for everyone before posting in case there was some last-minute submission.

• Jazz Emu - My Brothe: An Email Funk Opera
• Tiger Trap - Puzzle Pieces
• Alexandria Hughes Little - Jesus Christ's Ring
• Nightwish - Ghost Love Score
• Boom Kitty - Badland
• Primordial Soup Productions - 4'33'' (nightcore version)
• Goldfrapp - Ride a White Horse

You know the drill, please vote before the 30th of April and you can vote even if you didn't submit a song.

[somitomi]

Reminder that the deadline is tomorrow midnight(ish) and your song will be disqualified if you don't vote.

[somitomi]

All right, this was a nice round with a lot of contestants and yet one undisputed winner has emerged:"My Brothe: An Email Funk Opera" by Jazz Emu, submitted by Heury with no less than three people putting that song in first place. Unfortunately this victory is not official, Heury did not submit votes, so I must wrench the trophy from their hands and hand it to LingEarth for the song "Ghost Love Score" by Nightwish. Congratulations!
