Flush Walrus 4000: The Third One
FTF's 4000th Post Special
Well little Timmy, I'm surprised you keep asking but here we go:
A walrus is a song submission competition tradition!
I provide you with with a list of categories, you send me songs to fit said categories.
I then proceed to mercilessly judge and humiliate you for daring to send me a song as ridiculous as the one you inevitably will.
Fun!!!
Remember, this is all about me trying to find new music, so try to colour outside the lines.
My tastes:
I could just describe my taste as usual but this handy dandy Spotify wrap up should do a better job:
Submission Guidelines:
1)a) For Section A, you submit one song per category. Every category in Section A is mandatory.
b) For Section B, not every category is mandatory. Follow the outlined instructions below for what exactly you should be doing. Feel free to make strategic choices as you try to decide on what categories you should pick in this section.
c) For Section C, send me two songs. There are no attached categories or guidelines for Section C.
2) Send me your submission over forum PM, with something like "Flush Walrus 4K Submission - your name" in the message subject.
3) For your submission, I'll be able to listen to it once its on Youtube, Spotify or Soundcloud. I'd prefer it to be compiled in a uniform playlist but I don't mind a list of links either. Just make sure it's an official link so I don't have to deal with your submission potentially being hit with a copyright strike before I can listen to it.
4) The deadline to submit is two weeks as of this post opening. That's the 4th of April.
5) Here are some artists you should probably just avoid if you don't want to be tanked straight to hell:
Don't submit because I've listened to their entire discography
Kendrick Lamar
Daft Punk
BROCKHAMPTON
Maybe avoid because I know most of their discography
Travis Scott
Migos
21 Savage
Rich Brian
Pop Smoke
Juice WRLD
Lil Uzi Vert
Avoid because I hate them as an artist and don't want to waste my time listening to them
Nicki Minaj
Logic
Machine Gun Kelly
NF
Taylor Swift
Selena Gomez
Demi Lovato
Shawn Mendes
Blackpink
-Points will be awarded out of 10. This will be a combination score of how well I think it fits the category and how much I enjoy it, but not necessarily a 5/5 split between the two.
-There's a potential deduction in place for songs that I'm too familiar with. The point of the Walrus is for me to be introduced to new music so it wouldn't be in your best interest to submit extremely popular songs.
-There's a potential bonus in place if you submit a song and I end up being really glad that you introduced me to it.
-At the end I tally your scores, minus the worse performing song for Section C, for your final score. Highest final score wins bragging rights. Last winner was złerdzib
Categories:
Section A: Mandatory Categories:
1) PG Music
I've brought this category back since it was so fun the last time! Send me a family-friendly song for me and my kids to listen together. No Kidz Bop allowed.
ABBA - Dancing Queen
Koffee - Toast
2) Murder Music
Alright now put all the kids crap away and give me something AGGRESSIVE. The rawer, the gritter, the more in-your-face, the better! I need something violent and obnoxious to get my blood pumping.
Playboi Carti - Stop Breathing
21 Savage, Metro Boomin - Glock In My Lap
3) Weeb Trash
To round out Section A, we have what is probably the most infamous category across all 3 of my walruses. Walri? Walruses. Send me your favourite weeb fuel, fast or slow, happy or sad, it does not matter. Anime OSTs, K-Pop, J-Pop, whatever works for you.
Shinsei Kamattechan - My War
chelmico - Easy Breezy
Section B: Your Choice Matters
Pick 1:
4) Background Noise
Send me something low-key and inoffensive, that I can throw on in the background that I can vibe to. Think lo-hi hip-hop, but don't actually send me lo-fi hip-hop. Simple, right?
Eagles - Hotel California
Protoje - Who Knows ft. Chronixx
OR
5) Grab my Attention
Send me something irresistible, something that I just can't help but pay attention to. Something that forces me to focus on it and by the time it's over, it has me singing along. Something that would make me drop everything if I happened to hear it and immediately make me pull out my phone to try and Shazam it.
BROCKHAMPTON - BOOGIE
Post Malone - Wow.
Pick 1:
6) Long Days
Send me something upbeat enough to carry me through my dreary day! We all hate the Mondays, so-on so-forth, so think energetic, but not obtrusive. I need something for that two-hour car ride through traffic after my nine-hour accountant shift, so don't send something that'll give me a headache.
Kero Kero Bonito - Big City
Kali Uchis - Dead To Me
OR
7) Busy Nights
Send me something that's all about the night-life. I'm a city boy at heart, so send me something I'd love to hear a car blast out while it passes while I'm walking between bars. That's a bit on the nose but you get the idea right? Something suave enough for me to close my eyes and imagine I'm right there in the club and not in the middle of a pandemic.
Pop Smoke - GATTI ft. Travis Scott
Boy Boy - Adrenaline
Pick 2:
8) Sleepy
Send me something smooth and soothing, something I can fall asleep to, but don't actually send me something that boring. I need something to wind down to, something to slow things down just so I can feel myself breathe.
Owl City - Fireflies
The Weeknd - I Feel It Coming ft. Daft Punk
OR
9) Sexy
Yet another returning category, and it's time for more consensual, adult-oriented, recreational, romantic activities with a person that you have sexual interest in. Send me a song for that.
Romain Virgo - Soul Provider
Don Toliver - Can't Feel My Legs
OR
10) Sentimental
Imagine your life is a movie and up next is a longwinded scene with no dialogue where your character needs to reflect and think about everything that's going on. I need the song playing in the background that the studio blew the budget on. I need this song to really get me thinking about my life, present, past, future, romance, career, friends and family, trials and tribulation, any and/or all of it. or none of it. Just get me thinking.
RMR - Rascal
Chance the Rapper - Summer Friends ft. Jeremih, Francis and the Lights
Section C: Two Bullets Left, Make Them Count
Send 2
11+12) Open Category
And now the end. I need you to go out with a BANG! Send me two songs here, no restrictions, completely up to you. This is your last chance to grab points, so make it impactful. Something you think is either representative of your tastes, geared towards mine, or a happy middle-ground. Just make it count, because only the better of your two songs will count towards your total.
