flying_pie · July 7

Well done to everyone for another round of Poopot's Cover Challenge. The letter was N and there was an absolutely huge number of entries

Congratulations to @stickyfiddle ;; for a clear win with an excellent rendition of Radiohead. You can hear the winning entry here:

Well done to @fnpt for second place with 13 points, and a tie between myself and @Bezzer in third ( Bezzer can also take some credit for second place as well)

And now it's onto the letter O for our next challenge. @stickyfiddle can you please PM me with your chosen song within the next 48 hours.

Well done @stickyfiddle a deserving winner!

stickyfiddle · July 7

WOO!! Thanks guys. Super happy with this one esp considering the vocal was super last minute (was it ever thus with recording...). And especially when the quality was so high

I'll have a think about O songs while the F1 is on.

Bezzer · July 7

Well done @stickyfiddle !

Mad to come joint third with just 2 votes. Guess that shows the negative of multiple entries, loads of votes split over several songs.

Well done @stickyfiddle !

TTony · July 7

Congrats from me too @Mr Fiddle.

True.

I'm treating this as a prompt to complete full tracks, rather than with any desire to "win". I found that once I'd started, it was reasonably easy to keep going - hence my multiple entries.

Though we should obviously have 15pts for anyone who covers the nominated track

What's funny is I'm looking at a list of O stuff that I might do but no idea at this stage if something I suggest will even end up being what I go with myself.

I'm wondering given that lots of people seem to make multiple tracks if the deadline should be shortened?

fnpt · July 7

Congrats @stickyfiddle well deserved.

I would agree with this.

stickyfiddle · July 7

I don’t mind a shorter deadline - 2 months?

flying_pie · July 7

If the majority want a shorter deadline then it can be arranged. We have done 2 months rather than 3 before

@TTony @Habanero @idiotwind @thecolourbox @stratman3142 @IMC1980 @Bezzer @mrkb ;what do you reckon? Shall we go back to 2 months?

stratman3142 · July 7

Sorry not to enter the last one. I'll do my best to make the next one.

I've recently become involved in quite a few musical activities with the Exmouth U3A (yes I really am that old

), which are taking up a lot of my time now. So don't worry about me, and I'll fit in when I can.

TTony · July 7

2 months is fine with me.

Though it's only relatively recently that there have been so many entries.

All these Johnny-comes-lately (or TTony-comes-lately

) joining in and flooding the playlist with entries. Maybe give it another iteration or two to see whether the numbers stay high?

If I were to suggest any change at all, it would be to encourage feedback on entries (where requested). Getting votes is great, but I'd welcome some criticism/feedback on my entries to help me improve them.

stickyfiddle · July 7

@ttony an “open to critique” option coudl be really good actually. You could even give people limits eg “seeking comments on performance/arrangement/production/mixing” if people didn’t feel open to full jeopardy critique

I'd agree with this.

In the Elektonauts hip hop competition it's standard to write a short review of every entry. I'd be super happy to do that.

Great job @stickyfiddle!

I think @thecolourbox might also be in agreement.

Perhaps we have an additional thread, once the voting closes, for "Submission Feedback"? Anyone can use that thread to ask for feedback, any other submitter (ie voter) can give feedback. I think we're all grown-up enough to (a) give meaningful and constructive feedback and (b) not to cry - too much - when we receive it.

thecolourbox · July 7

I'm definitely happy to receive feedback, and happy to try and give it though how much my opinions are worth is up for debate.

I don't really mind what the deadline is, happy to go with whatever is decided

idiotwind · July 7

Yes, I'm happy with 2 months

monquixote · July 7

I'm very up for feedback on both of my tracks.

Yep me too if anyone has any

Howdy, Stranger!
