Updated with new link - does this one work?

Yes

(note for the future because this isn't in the actual rules: we generally avoid hinting at the song we submitted, so this is ideally done in PMs)

Right, I didn't think of that. Fred, please don't say anything implying you didn't submit a particular song in future.

KK

And here are the results!



Congratulations, somi!

Since somi just hosted the previous one and I hosted this one - Fred, wanna host next?

I don't check here consistently enough to host. Someone else?

OK, of the other two, Ling has hosted more recently, so - john, wanna do it?

The results haven't been posted yet, you can probably still get your votes in. At least that's the way I usually run things as host

Yeah, we'll extend it out for you to finish ;)

Alright, the results are in! Impressively, we ended up with a three-way tie for best love song - somi and ratammer, you may proceed to fight to the death for the right to continue!

Oh wow! Congrats to all of us!

I hosted the previous so I suppose it's somi's turn!

*lowers sword
So no fight? _{I never get to have any fun}

Let's do a round of fighting songs then, send me music that'd suit an intense duel between skilled warriors. You have until the 5th of March.

I'm going through my music and a lot of the songs that would apply are either taken directly from a fight scene and are thus too on the nose, or they're about battles and not single combat. The urge to Rickroll is rising.

Oh, I forgot to remind, so you have 24-ish hours from now.

*taps sign

It is high noon... somewhere, probably and that of course means a showdown. TwoSix songs walk out slowly in the street, eyeing each other suspiciously:

• Lemon Demon - Knife Fight
• King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Pt. 2
• Antti Martikainen - Xian
• DragonForce - Symphony of the Night
• Runescape 07 - Sea Shanty 2 (Trap Remix)
• Kasabian - Club Foot

Who will draw first? Who will be the last one standing?

Deadline is the 14th of March
