I said I used to be a piece of shit! I'm not anymore. Glass House. White Ferrari. Live for New Year's Eve. Sloppy steaks at Truffoni's. Big rare cut of meat with water dumped all over it, water splashing around the table, makes the night SO MUCH more fun.
This tournament is all about your past life. What are the ARTISTS and BANDS you used to listen to but don't anymore. This could be the first tapes/CD's you ever got. The music that led you to the music you're into now. It could be artists that are now huge pieces of shit and you don't associate with them anymore. The key here is that this isn't stuff you still go back to. Mitch Hedberg has a joke that goes “I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.” Get that right out of your head right now. Some of these might be embarrassing to you, and for that I'm sorry. Here's the deal though, be honest. This isn't about artists you never liked but had one song you did. This is about band's you were into, for good or bad. And I'm also not talking about bands who still put out records that you don't fuck with. There will be no Ride The Lightning on this list. I don't care why you don't listen to it anymore. You were a completely different person back then. Also, it's cause you USED to be a huge piece of shit. Think back to the eras of your musical fandom. The earliest days when you were in elementary school and just getting into music. Think of your awkward middle school years when your tastes started to change. Think of High School when you started taking in every new thing you could and buying albums based on a cool cover and yeah man you really tried to make that work for a while, and for a while it did, but it's just not your bag anymore. These songs should all be 20+ years old at least. To counteract the embarrassing nature of some of these, you'll also be giving me 3 songs from your current stable of liked artists. Not one off songs, I want bands who's recent catalog you celebrate regularly. If you could, i'd prefer you pick 3 songs from you're All-Time Top Songs playlist on Spotify, provided they haven't made it into a Q yet. This isn't a requirement, just a good place to start.
Here's the rules:
6 songs from bands/artists highlighting how you used to be a piece of shit
3 songs from bands/artists highlighting how you're not anymore
The rubs
No previous Q songs
No repeat artists
I won't be vetting songs, I won't see your entries. For this reason I'll be submitting when I'm ready. I'll give you till 12:00pm on Monday to submit before I submit my list.
I haven't decided who gets the extra song yet. I might do a wheel spin or something.
LET'S SLOP 'EM UP!
