It's back! :)
There are some differences this time around though. The last one had to end as we were linking to illegal files on this site so the download element is gone (new title anyone?) but there are now so many music hosting sites that it should be reasonably easy to run this, youtube etc.
So, to re-establish the rules and some new things, cause it's been a while.
1 song a day
5 songs a week
You pick a day you want
You then pick a song for that day
Everyone reviews said song on that day
And so on
A new rule i'm bringing in this time is that the songs should be kept private until the day, otherwise people end up skipping ahead.
If anyone wants to email me their song beforehand, incase theyre not around on the day or they want me to find it, send to [email protected]. This is my old address. In the unlikely event you cant find the song you're after online, i suggest windows movie maker and youtube.
I'm starting on Monday and i'll see how it goes. Further dates are available.

Right I've fallen behind give me 15 minutes or so and I'll update myself!
[edit] Just opened tabs of what I need to watch, listening to Hadouken is never a chore so ta Chaos :] Have you seen them live before or intend to?
[edit2] Right, Editors. Got to admit this song was never going to go down well with me as I'm not exactly their biggest fan, gave it a shot though. I just wasn't a big fan of the vocals, not really my thing. Thats my main critism, I just find it blends into the background and there was nothing standing out to me.
Avril Lavinge: Not bad really, pretty much what I expected of her. Catchy pop. Don't mind listening to stuff like this, wouldn't necessarily choose to however. I do however enjoy her new stuff far more than her older songs, was interested to watch a few interviews with her husband from Sum 41 in regards to how him and their drummer aided her on the new album.
Hadouken: Been listening to this track constantly for the past few months and was extremely annoyed when they dropped out of the Brighton Great Escape festival as they were the main reason I bought my ticket. Gonna go see them at southampton uni when uni starts again later this year but may try and get myself a reading ticket and see them there too! Or maybe the london dates as that would be far cheaper :] Just love the song, catchy and goes down so well when it comes on in a club, really good to dance and sing along with friends.
[edit3] Just realised I didn't comment on Der Nazi's song... metal like that isn't really my thing :] I did enjoy the solo though.
Oh and can I have thursday please? Not many people participating so I doubt it'll be an issue!

I, unlike God, shall leave my choice to fate.
I shall roll three die, and add there scores, of course this leaves 1 and two significantly out matched and also gives the middle numbers far more probability of sucess. To counter-meaurse, I shall throw the whole process in the furnace of my mind and simply choose a number at random.
All clear? Good, then I choose... 18
[S]Interesting choice...

Now what to choose...
I din't like that Avril Lavigne song. She's had some good songs before, but I didn't really like this one.
