How Unknown Can You Go?

[bosshoss]

It's North American, anyway.

I'm surprised to be proved wrong. I give it a strong 6. Meaning it's great!

 

[Frantic]

It's not P. It's D.

whatchu talkinbout Willis?

 

[bosshoss]

is there a way to set a deadline for member/participant inclusion?

I don't think a deadline is necessary, unless you have a reason?

 

[bosshoss]

Are we generally invited to give ratings or will MoptopMike convoke his jury?

I will make a note of all the submitted ratings, in the Track List thread. So yes, go ahead and rate everything, because everyone's opinion will determine the winner.

 

[bosshoss]

Imagine if this track had drums, bass and a lead break how cool it would be!! I've heard of loner folk, loner psych so this must be loner garage. Just a guy singing and playing guitar and his buddy singing backup. It's so cool it's gotta qualify. It's from '66. Do you guys think this is cool enough to be on one of my upcoming comps? Or is it a little too incomplete?

I think it's good enough. As it is, I would rate it 5, but it could have been a 7 with drums and bass. It's a good song, obviously a demo, but plenty of energy in guitar and vocals.

I have the record - both versions

No idea how obscure this one actually is...

[buckeyebeat]

Don't know it - I rate a 5. That's a clean sounding acetate!

A tape of this acetate floated my way years ago. I have no idea if it was ever reissued on anything.

I like this . I give it a 5.

 

[buckeyebeat]

There's probably many things that I rated 8 years ago that I would not remember. Generally I listened to everything unknown twice before I rated it, but even that was not enough for me to remember. Just a thought.

I would only offer to post TBM rating results for any song listed in the book.
However, the best advice and strategy is to find something not listed in the book, because as many as 14 people will have heard anything included, no matter how highly rated it might be received on the forum.
There are over 100 songs which are absent from TBM, but have since. or will soon be voted upon.

That's why I said to Harvestman "Why even submit it if you haven't even checked the book"

The winner will get to select one 45 from this display. No, not all of them:p The others may be needed for more fun competitions in the future. I intend to compete, but if I win, the first prize will go to the runner-up.

do you have a yellow & black fetish?

 

[bosshoss]

do you have a yellow & black fetish?

It was a coincidence. I picked out a stack of mid-range items, and all but 3 happened to have yellow labels. So I eliminated the 3 that didn't fit.

 

[bosshoss]

finally, someone with good taste. Should I put it on my next Nor-Cal cd?

That all depends on how much better material you have on hand. It's good enough, but hopefully it wouldn't be the best track on the CD
