Shall we play a game?

[Casey H]

OK, this thread was really supposed to be a "you be the screener" type of thing, I propose a game... Please read carefully... We need THREE volunteers. First come first serve. #1 and #2 below have to be filled before #3.(1) We need one volunteer to be the screener. Preferably someone who has not reviewed a ton of material on the forum (So Matto, Dave W, Vikki, Steve A.G., myself, and a few others please sit this one out if you don't mind).(2) We need another volunteer member to post a past or current TAXI listing. Please try to make it one is not asking for something unusual... Maybe a library request or artist pitch lead... (3) And last, we need a volunteer to post a link to a song they are submitting (for the game) for the listing that will be presented by #2 above.The screener will review the song, fill out the review form and decide if it is a Forward or Return. That would be one complete game and if you want, another game can be started with 3 new volunteers.Here is a review form (or at least most of one) to cut and paste:Name:Listing:Title: Style/On Target:Rating ScaleN/A 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 (10=best)Structure ___Music ___Lyrics ___Marketability ___Arrangement ___Production ___Engineering ___Musicianship ___Lead Vocal ___Overall Comments:Status: Forward or ReturnMain Reason for Return:So, shall we play a game?

Casey I certainly do not have the chops to be a number 1 (screener) I don't mind being a number 2 once you've got a number 1 and I know what genre(s) listing to post.I definitely don't want to be the number 3! Liam

I'll play, since it looks like I won't be watching B'ball too much longer I'll be number 3 (as long as I have a song to fit), let's play... Geo

I'm willing to be number #1.I don't know how good I would be at it. Especially considering that I am still new at this. I often think it is easier to subjectively judge other people's works over your own. There are a couple of genres that I would feel woefully unskilled to do however: Rap, Hip-Hop, Reggae, and R&B would be the ones that I would not know at all.

trentoliphant: You are hired! You are officially the screener for game #1! This is an awesome responsibility. You are the only thing standing between the member's song and the A&R person. (Death threats could happen, be warned) Matto: I may as well admonish myself... Everybody else does (well, at least at home, LOL... married with teenage kids... 'nuf said) Vikki: I'm sorry. Am I bringing back painful memories? Consider it a reward for all the reviews you have done... You get a day off! OK, we have volunteer #1. Now we need volunteer #2 to post the listing.... Any takers? Let the games begin! Casey
