Fange I believe Ray is organising this one, so that's already settled. I'm happy to participate. So we have .. Rayge JC Darkness Fish Skope Hatz DayoDead Bluejl Colin O G I'd like Ray to confirm the format so it's clear for everyone. I'll do that once we know how many we have, because on that will depend the number of rounds and thus letters. Ideally, we need a word with an odd number of letters, which would imply an even number of contestants, otherwise someone is going to have to sit out each round and have one choice consigned to oblivion. If necessary, I can deploy my aliases to make it fit (with the usual caveat that neither of them are in it to win it - and nor am I)
The format is basically song against song, anything goes, but in each round the Artist, not the title, begins with the same letter.
In answer to skope's concerns, my current thinking is that, to avoid squabbling, we go with the convention that we go with the first letter of the first word (excluding the definite article) of the name of the artist as it appears on the record label/youtube clip, so B for Bob Dylan, The Beatles or Barry Manilow, C for Captain Beefheart, and so on: S for the Stooges but I for Iggy and the Stooges if that's what's on the label for that particular track. And as for timing, will leave this open for joiners until the weekend, then INSIST (and hatz, I'm looking at you ) on getting lists by lunchtime Friday week so I can put the first round up as soon as possible on the Friday night or Saturday morning (BST).

Sounds good. Some initial thoughts.. We should avoid aliasis if at all possible Odd number entrants can easily be solved with a bye for each round.

is there anyway you would reconsider this, ray? i file all my music using the surname rather than the first name of the artist as i'm sure most do. no worries if you won't, seeing as you are organising it, but it would be much easier. i agree that captain beefheart should be C, but surely neil young should be Y?

That's the way I always did it, adam, although there were problems with filing, say, Smokey Robinson, Smokey and the Miracles, and the Miracles, but basically that's just bureaucracy. The other way is how things are arranged in the big beasts of the (well my) IT music world, iTunes and discogs, so let's just go with that, as it's unequivocal.

I can commit to send a list before Friday next week, but voting might be difficult for the first three weeks of August. Anyway, I'm in.

There are a few usual entrants who have not signed in yet - Mark oleander, neige, nolamike, gash, sloop, among others - and I always have pandascream in reserve to make up the numbers if necessary. The more the merrier, really.
