How ya doing, buddy?

loool 3/8 are mine, you guys all suck.

In before my noms place 6th, 7th and somehow 10th.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Monster Hunter Hunting Music Collection - (pawprints) Oh god the damn cat song. That's what won that week? I swear, the only time you guys don't like these dumb-ass joke songs is when I nominate one

ESPGALUDA II Black Label ORIGINAL SOUND TRACK - Stage1 Still vanilla shmup.

Aekanaru Sekai no Owari ni Original Soundtrack "Routine" - Nagi's Theme I think the adjective I used to describe this was "Kikuta-esque." That's pretty much a huge compliment, implying as it does a careful balance of quirk and melodic awesomeness.

TEN PLANTS - chlorella production manager It's a great song and it inspired y'all to troll me without mercy. What could be better?

Muppet Monster Adventure (Game Rip) - Hallways of Doom The second-least scary song wound up winning Scaryweek. But it's the Muppets, and also Michael Giacchino, so all is forgiven.

Legend of Gold Wind - Legend Mmm, piano goodness flows down. Also: oboe. Acoustic Asturias is so much better than Electirc Catalonia...

CamelCase xX (Game Rip) - Dance of Kalmor Good old-fashioned synthy fun, plus woodwinds!

Megalomachia - Catastrophe UVB-76 I think everyone declaring this song teh ear sex is just an elaborate troll directed at me, personally. It's kind of cool that the horrible noises ruining everything are an actual unidentified radio signal, but they're still horrible noises ruining everything.

A really solid group of winners, overall.

The Point Spread
chlorella - 2 pts.
Naggy - 1 pt.
Indiana Frog and the Basement of Doom - 1 pt.
Legend - 1 pt.
Kalmor Union - 1 pt.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

3 Points: Megalomachia - Catastrophe UVB-76
I still think it's amazing that there is actually a piece of music based around the UVB-76 buzzer radio station, something that has a considerable amount of significance to me. I remember I was just on YouTube looking up Takayuki Aihara stuff, when I saw the title "UVB-76" I pretty much went "oh man...this better be what I think it's going to be" and it was AMAZING. (so yes similar story to Dark Comet 72 that he said in the old topic I Suppose)

2 Points: TEN PLANTS - chlorella production manager
Whoa this is like my favorite "Hitoshi Sakimoto" that I have heard ever.Crazy awesome wacky offbeat 6/8 feel in my opinion!I also just love all of the SYNTHS and all of the SOUNDS and all of the sjdlkhjl pianoALSO MUZZA you said something about this in the old topic that I looked in because I Think THIS IS SO COOL . . . WHAT IS WRONG WITH NEWS INTROS??? those are usually awesome because they sound like this!(or do does this sound like them...Hmmmmmmmmmmm m m m mm m )

1 Points: ClaDun x2 (Game Rip) - Dance of Kalmor
This gets one "points" because I like the SYNTHS and the chords are so pretty. I said this in the old topic except possibly in a less coherent way

"Week 0250: ESPGALUDA II Black Label ORIGINAL SOUND TRACK - Stage1
Week 0251: Aekanaru Sekai no Owari ni Original Soundtrack "Routine" - Nagi's Theme" are CLOSE, I might even change my point spread to include them if I get enough ...in the mood...

actually I probably won't do that because these are all awesome

Time has mellowed my opinion of this track. It's actually pretty neat.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

8th: TEN PLANTS - chlorella production manager (screw you track title that sounds like a sickness, screw you sound that is like a News theme, screw you Jolt)

I really want to see UVB (and DK) get the gold here. Having said that, I still had to pay my noms at least a point each 'cause I love all of them, so the point spread is as it looks. Such a shame that I couldn't find points for the cats; 2:43 is the best thing about this week (yes, even better than BZZZZT).

Best battle in a while :nobias:

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

So I've been going through the Konami Endings Collection, and I discovered the ending to SD Snatcher, which is awesome. However, the second half of the song ("Coda") was apparently in a past BSC. Don't suppose that would be eligible for SotW?

I don't think the BSC has any bearing on SotW. I mean the recommended procedure is to try something out here before moving to the BSC big time but if you want to go all Bizarro and do it backwards I think it's kosher.

Really, the worst thing that would happen is that certain people (i.e. me) would bitch a little in their voting comments about how it's become an old chestnut.

FELIPE NO

It was apparently BSC '06, where it made it to round 3. I'm not really going to complain about listening to something again after five years.

Most amazing jew boots

Drakken can only nominate it if he votes



(for UVB)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Good timing for the poll close. I got the feeling some conservative troll was going to appear and ruin everything.*

DK! UVB! Insanity for everyone! Happy days, people.



*though things are already ruined with sickness news theme getting 3rd tbh

I was speaking idiomatically.

I leave for a week and you guys crown the paranoid one. I swear, if I'm ever gone for a month you'll all be voting for "Francis E. Dec: The Remixes."
