Anyway, I’ve submitted my Repechage song. For the second time, after not reading the rules the first time.
I am concerned about my “real instruments” though. Is this a Dylan went electric thing? Or a “the piano is not a real instrument, as it’s only 200 years old and way younger than Swoods.” thing…
Probably more of an iPad isn’t a real instrument. Moog is possibly the cutoff. Or Theremin? They’ve only been around for a hundred years.
I mean, I assume a digital delay is out, but a tape delay is OK?
I bags Jon Spencer on the theremin
5 - Limited express - Bet on me
4 - Magumi and the breathless- all around rock
3 - The hu - wolf totem
2 - Guitar wolf - Fujiyama attack
1 - One ok rock - dreamer
What’s the theme for the rep round? Something to do with 3 piece bands?
Three piece, vocals and real instruments
I have to confess, the real instrument thing is throwing me.
Is a bottle a real instrument?
Edit: not a trio, obviously, but I was wondering if the smashed flourescent light in Power and the Passion disqualifies it.
And then I remembered that it absolutely uses a drum machine…
And then there’s…
Electric piano, moog, fairlight…friggin’…Yamaha organ…
It’s impossible to define. Fairlight a digital sampler, not real. Yamaha organ an additive sound wave generator, real like a Moog? Electric piano is an amplified piano so real just like an electric guitar. And my Yamaha SY22 blends samples and additive synth with a vector controller that can move between the 4 sound sources plus modulators.
Now just desperately awaiting votes from @Davo
Top seven are confirmed.
8th place (currently) leads three others by 4 votes so could still possibly be overtaken.
Having said that, I do get that the show runner is king, and if a song gets rejected just ‘cos, then that’s fair enough with me.
Yeah that’s the only way to look at it.
If you lot spent as much time just picking a song as you do picking over the minutiae of stuff, you’d make it so much easier for yourselves.
Like really, how farken hard is it to find a song by a three piece band that has vocals and real instruments?
Any of you that have been around here for any length of time know my hatred of modern farken computer based crap that gets called music and most of you know more about farken real instruments than I do.
Just pick a damn song, submit it and you should know whether or not it will meet the criteria!!!
And if you want different rules, run the next one.
To be fair…just kind of passing the time while waiting for Davo.
Wasn’t having a go, just the time made me get all philosophical.
And 
I did spend some time on this round. I had to. Because apart from Gangnam Style, Monkey Magic, and Battle Without Honour…maybe a handful more that I’d never consider playing, I don’t Know any Asian music.
Actually…I do know some Indian stuff, but that’s not BDJ material.
Don’t threaten me with a good time.
80’s number ones round.
I actually thought fifth singles would be interesting.
