"Plain Songs for Songs and Tigers?"

fluffy · Post by **fluffy** » Sun Feb 10, 2008 11:28 am

On the "Ease Up On the Drugs" fight, I'm pretty sure that band's name is "Plain Songs for Doves and Tigers," especially considering that's what the filename indicates.

Perhaps someone needs to ease up on the drugs... :)

Some sample file names from this week's submissions. If yours is in here, bad on you. If you can't even tell if yours is in here or not, double bad on you.

theLMNOPotomus-wss.mp3
PQ_Ease_up_on_the_drugs_I_go_with_you.mp3
CapitalistYouth-WSS.mp3
future_boy_-_why_so_serious.mp3
IllCricketCrew_WSS.mp3
WreckdoM_EUOTD.mp3
titiansofeklektoclash-euotd.mp3
thanksforthefrisbee_Euod.mp3
whysoserious 2.mp3
whysoserious.mp3
CharlieCheney_EaseUp.mp3

A beer to the first person who can identify all of the errors in these filenames. To be paid up next time I see you (I already owe BZL and Heuristics Inc. one - might as well make it a pitcher).

The only things I can see, would be:

1. Should be "billyslittletrip_euotd.mp3" not billyslittletrip_ease_up_on_the_drugs

2. Doesn't it have to all be in lowercase?

3. No "-", only "_"

in the ballpark?

whysoserious.mp3 (no band name, no underscore, title not abbreviated)
CharlieCheney_EaseUp.mp3 (band name not in all lower case, title not abbreviated)

I suspect that putting the title abbreviation in all caps is a no-no as well, but I can't find a mention of that anywhere.

No beer yet, Eric, you are missing at least three errors.

I am aware of at at least two more. Of course, if someone finds more that I did after you have found all of mine, they will steal the beer away!

Isn't this a fun game for a boring Sunday?

Wow, trying to do this w/out referring to erik's post is going to be interesting. Time for the amnesia-hat!

Rabid, I'm pretty sure you didn't find any that Eric didn't already have, and you missed a few of his, as well. Good try though, and nice ethic - starting from scratch.

It would take serious drugs to get me involved in this.

Post by **Spud** » Sun Feb 10, 2008 3:45 pm

Sorry, beer is the only drug I am comfortable dispensing without a prescription.

Oh, you wanted every band/song listed to be analyzed.

OK, everything Erik and Rabz said, and I raise them "whysoserious 2.mp3
whysoserious.mp3" submitted twice.

fluffy · Post by **fluffy** » Sun Feb 10, 2008 4:03 pm

Wow, and (back to the original thing on this thread) they had it in the email <em>twice</em>.

Believe it or not, those were submitted by two entirely different bands.

Ha! what are the chances?

...that was rhetorical Fluf, please don't post a spread sheet and pie graphs.

Doh! Well, it was good for a little lazy-sunday procrastination.

Come on you guys. Don't tell me it's too hard. I have to play this game every week! And you are so close....

(just to help you along, I will give you a hint. I didn't catch one of them when I posted the songs, so it got posted with the error in place)
