The Song Contest, 92

#1

Post by Pancapples »

hello everyone, how is your evening going

our next songtest theme is gonna be

Late 90s, Early 2000s

anything released between January 1st, 1996 and December 31st, 2004 is fair game.
[+] chopped up rules
No songs used from a past contest!
Be polite in chat about song contest because the people who submit the songs are also human beings! Anyone who removes this rule is rude!
If you can't be here for one of the semis, let me know and I'll try to put you into the opposite round!

If you're in a round or public-voting, listen to every song and give points to your top 10 favorites: 12 to your favorite, 10 to your second, 8 to your third, 7 to your fourth, and so on down to 1 point for your tenth favorite.
If your song is in a given round, you must vote that round or you'll be eliminated. if your song isn't in that round (or you aren't in the contest at all), your vote will be counted as a public vote, which counts for half points.
Send me your votes via Board or Discord DM: I can't guarentee I'll see it if you don't.
gonna run sign-ups for three days or so, will throw your name down once i get the word.

participants (names in italics have yet to submit a song) :

1. me (:
2. Ohm
3. backslash
4. Laurels
5. Buko
6. Maraoone

Sure, I'm in.
"Art enriches the community, Steve, no less than a pulsing fire hose, or a fireman beating down a blazing door. So what if we're drawing a nude man? So what if all we ever draw is a nude man, or the same nude man over and over in all sorts of provocative positions? Context, not content! Process, not subject! Don't be so gauche, Steve, it's beneath you."
