Nice :D Congrats!

Oh, nice, thanks.

Have we done a roadtrip songs round already?

Posted: **Tue Jun 27, 2023 8:36 pm**

Not that I recall.

Posted: **Wed Jun 28, 2023 9:41 pm**

Cool, then send me your best roadtrip songs before the 5th of July

I really gotta stop doing that

As usual, I forgot to remind people, so you have 30-ish hours starting from now

Once again it's just the three of us hitting the road in a scientifically randomized order:
R.E.M. - Radio Free Europe
"Weird Al" Yankovic - The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota
Rusted Root- Send Me On My Way
We'll be back on the 13th of July to tally whose song got the most playtime on this trip.

30 hour reminder to vote

Luckily, we were saved from another three-way tie by Ling's votes, which means I'm forced to hand myself the trophy for this victory like the shameless narcissist I am. Congratulations everyone!

Nice!

Okay, how about we have a round of only instrumental music. Send your entries by next Tuesday, August 8.

Posted: **Tue Aug 01, 2023 9:40 pm**

Congrats Ling!

I was very much taking my cue from "technically more or less a song" and picking something quite weird, so I'm not surprised with where I came.

Posted: **Wed Aug 02, 2023 12:02 am**

Hey, I dug it XD

I kinda liked it, it actually ranked low for ending just when I thought the intro was over

The video for Lothlorien didn't work for some people, so I've added an alternate link for that song in the post above.
