Since there are a lot of big music fans here, I thought this would be a fun thread to have. I have seen it done on actual music forums, and it was always really fun to participate.
How it works: I'll post 3 to 5 songs. Someone else will call dibs and pick one song to listen to, write a review, and score on a scale of 1-10. They then post some songs, and someone else calls dibs, and the cycle goes on.... Dibs happen on a first post, first serve basis.
The Rules:
* Time limits: when calling dibs on a review, you have one hour after the time of your post. That should be plenty of time, but can be adjusted depending on how the thread plays out. If an hour goes by and nothing, someone else is free to call dibs. If nobody has called dibs on a review in 24 hours, anyone is free to post some songs for others to review to keep the thread going.
* Don't posts five songs by the same artist, try to put some variety out there.
* To review, you must listen to the song in it's entirety. As best you can, try and pick songs to review that you aren't already familiar with.
* Provide links to the songs if possible. At the very least, provide the artist's name, and song title.
* Have fun!
So, let's see how this goes:
Junius - A Word Could Kill Her
ISIS - Garden of Light
Grizzly Bear - Two Weeks
Homesick For Space - Tension Free
the Cancer Conspiracy - II

Now, you have to list some songs so that someone else can review them.
