Im just shocked Bullet is rounding the top 20 to be honest…

Its one of my best tracks but I thought for sure it would have been voted off the island much like Sunshine got smeared. “Argh!!!! Loops!!! Damn u Protilius!!!”

23rd place gives me hope though. Maybe i can manage a little more leadeboard security if im fortunate in the coming weeks.

In the meantime im just doing my best to vote non-biasly and with an open mind. I keep forgetting other people are as passionate about they’re music as I am… and reviewing is a very personal choice to many artist, myself included.

I guess we all just need to keep things real and it should all work out fine… hopefully… lol

Wish you didn’t have to go to work too, just be as careful and asprotective of your hand as possible..Can 6 is a big challenge to write for AND as you say to review….

Im dreading work… Hand aches but I’ll live. Just a little worried about making it worse is all. Wish i had injury insurance or some stuff… could rally use a week off to heal.

Been reviewing in 6 can. Thats a real hit or miss kinda can… Havnt been marking inappropriate like I should have for a few tracks likely, but theres a few tracks I just didnt have the heart to finish either… So Im leaving the whole checked box thing for people with more patience than i.

(cut me some slack, im on meds, lol)

I can understand a lot of the opinions here regarding 6 can, but its all subjective much like 4 can, some tracks are just more obvious about their content than others.

Screw it… 2/4 to 4/4 is fine with me… just so long as the track doesnt suck and meets the requirements.. I’ll vote it up. When it comes to the music, the artist knows better than I what time sig they’re using… So I just have faith that they arent fibbing about it meeting the requirements.

Feeling better I hope…

PT how are you doing today?

A clock signing a check?

Whats a time signature?

I really liked that wild one of yours Nils

here we go loop-de-loop-de-de-de-loop

“For this challenge, we want you to use at least two time signatures in your song. The best song will incorporate time changes, while remaining a great overall piece.”

two or more changes, at least two time signatures. . .

doesn’t say must be absurd, abstract, avante garde, left of field and even encourages being poetic and creative. but, let’s face it, we will never ever avoid subjective. . . read the rules and give it your best guess. cuz boys and girls that is what it is. a competition with rules that allow for PEER REVIEW which is nothing more and just as important as a guess, an opinion, and best of all. . .

WE, Each and Every Loving One of Us is RIGHT.

Make your choices then live with them.

Sorry, my subjective opinion. NEXT!

Hi Johnny,

I didn’t feel singled out at all. Fact is, I have a mindless piece of endless time changes in that can and it fits in my interpretation of the rules. Once again, the listener might not appreciate it. That’s cool. But it sure was fun writing and recording it

Nils

Hi Nils,
I wasn’t reffering to ANYONE in particular at all. Just saying what i am hearing in CAN 6 and how i might vote upon hearing songs for the two timer as it’s called.
Johnny

But hey….I aint such an ‘ole dawg that I cant learn still….
I played bottleneck for the first time ever…on my cover of the sunshine song…..and I really enjoyed it.

yeah Nils….I could have done with some practice like that way back….I was too busy playin’ Beatles songs….lol

Thanks, Ian. I think playing Turkish weddings back in the day helped me practice…

Johnny, yes, I am guilty of entering borderline pieces in can 6. However, the rules for can 6 clearly state “For this challenge, we want you to use AT LEAST two time signatures in your song.”

I am fully aware that pieces like these score extremely low on the commercial scale and can be hard to listen to.

Personally, I like to play with music and musical building blocks when I write and in this challenge I am 5 years old.

With regards to CAN 6.
First thing i do is listen to all 3 songs as i lookout for 2 different time signatures.
That usually narrows the field of play down straight away.
The ones using 2/4 to 4/4 don’t exactly jump out at you but yet they are still two different time signatures.
Songs using 3/4 and 4/4 are more obvious to the ears and i do think more effort must have taken place to get those two very different times working together so something like that i would notice more and it might possibly get my vote because the requirement we are looking for is the best song using 2 different time signatures.
I’ve noticed a lot of freestyle entries in CAN 6 with many time signatures (as you would expect with freestyle) but for the purpose of reviewing i look for two very different time signatures that work well together so the freestyle entries for me personally are kinda borderline entries as far as what this can is asking me to vote for because the music is not tied down to 2 different time signatures.
