The 72nd SOTF Songtest: 420 Songtest It

#1

Post by Buko »

HA-HA! It's ya boy DJ EZ Wider aka the Sultan of Swishers aka the Commandant of Cannabis aka the Sour Diesel Evil Kinevil aka Count Dabula ("I vant to puff your bud!") aka the Marijuana Menorah aka Light-an-L Dutchie ("Hello! Is it weeeeeeeeeeed you're lookin' for! I can see it in your eyes, that your broke ass ain't got five and I cannot...smoke....with yooooooou") aka the Plantain Supernova aka the Lebron of Lechon aka I'm just ripping off the Bodega Boys and you can listen to their podcast or watch em on Showtime!

Now!

I am runnin' this shit, welcome to da weed test.

Image


The rules of this theme are simple: Songs about or focused upon the consumption of or procuring of cannabis. I will be a bit loose here on "focus" since I know that folks aren't all about the gateway drugs as I be. I do want weed, stoner culture or cannabis to be mentioned at the very least and preferably to be a strong guiding scent through out your selections!

I am running 5 day rounds here because this is my first test and I am a bit intimidated by excel sheets and all that jazz. Also, y'know, stoner test, we a more chill and inviting sort.
[+] Rules Stolen From Last Test That Were Stolen From Another Test
-submit your song via PM or discord, whichever's easier for you

- songs will be randomly divided into 2 or 3 semifinals depending on turnout. if you're going to be away at some point in the next couple of weeks, let me know and I can try to put your song in a round when you'll be here.

- listen to every song and give points to your top 10 favorites: 12 to your favorite, 10 to your second, 8 to your third, 7 to your fourth, and so on down to 1 point for your tenth favorite.

- if your song is in a given round, you must vote that round or you'll be eliminated. if your song isn't in that round (or you aren't in the contest at all), your vote will be counted as a public vote, which counts for half points.

- the top [x] songs will move on to the final. that number depends on the number of contestants.

- repeat the process for the finals and we get a winner.

- winner gets to hold the next contest, or they can pass the job along to 2nd place if they don't want to. 2nd place can pass down to third, etc, until someone wants to host.

general song rules:
- no eurovision songs
- no reality show/competition covers
- no songs already submitted in a songtest
- there is no penalty for length in this contest. however, if a song goes over 7 minutes, listeners aren't obligated to listen to more than the first 7 minutes of the song. so choose a long song at your own risk!

each semifinal and the final will last for five days. some rules about activity/extensions:
- if you know at the start of your semifinal that you wont be available to vote for those five days, let me know asap and I can move you to another semi, if we aren't on the final one already.
- I'll be posting every 24 hours in this topic as a reminder, as well as pinging everyone who hasn't voted on discord 24 hours before the round ends.
- extensions will only be granted in extenuating circumstances. forgetting to vote until an hour before deadline is not an extenuating circumstance.
Will be accepting submissions until Sunday with the goal of starting sometime around then, whatever, don't be a buzz kill. If we get enough before then--I will start before then! Stay on your toes, head on a swivel! If you got a star by your name then you haven't submitted, whatever.

It was difficult to nail down exactly when the anger started. Remembering a time when it wasn't there, coiled up and waiting to strike or alive and thrashing, was growing more and more challenging. It'd been with her for so long that it no longer felt like an intruder in her mind. It felt like a part of her.

Alright--let's get it! Round one! The participants are as follows!

1. DN
2. Burnitup
3. Laurels
4. Paige
5. Kermit
6. Brackie
7. Rugga
8. Kami
9. Boogie
10. Chad

Two songs will be eliminated and forbidden from the big ass smoke cypher in da finals. Now da songs!



Because this is falling right in December and I am slow and confused in tallying votes and stuff--I am running a bit longer rounds. You'll pretty much have a work week to get this done, the deadline for round 1 will be 9PM EST on Friday the 18th. If everybody gets their votes before that time, no worries and we'll play it by ear, but I would rather this be no rush and no pressure during the holidays. Let's smoke and chill with ya boy! I accept votes either Discord or PM (like everybody else)!

Alrighty then! Onto Round 2! The participants are...well everybody who is on the master list who wasn't in round 1. But whatever. For posterity:



Second verse--same as the first! Round will last for five days and end officially on Wednesday the 23rd at 9PM EST (that way we can have an extended finals over the Christmas holiday and leading into the New Year with a New Test)! I will be eliminating the bottom two in this round just like in the first, so y'know, thank the randomizer for putting you in this one! I will be accepting votes either via PM or Discord or messenger pigeon and any questions just hit me up! Happy tokin' and happy votin'!

We did have a DQ this round but since it was not one of the two lowest finishers and this round had one extra in comparison to Round 1 anyway--decided to keep with eliminating the bottom two as to have even representation of both rounds!
[+] Lightweights
DQ - What it Look Like by Curren$y feat. Wale and submitted by Sunny, it received 50.5 points including three 8s
11th - War Das Etwa Haschisch by Georg Danzer and submitted by RC, it received 41.5 points including one 8.
10th - Crazy, Stoned & Gone by Angelo de Augustine and submitted by Mara, it received 43 points including one 10 and two 8s.
I will be trying to get up the Finals sometime tonight but if not--expect them up early tomorrow morning! Happy holidays and happy smoking!
