i'll rate within the first two weeks if i submit, and i'll submit if i have something perfect for the theme. i tend to be more active in this game than the metal one.

Are you aware you literally haven't rated a single playlist in this game since April 9th

Ah whatever. I'll just announce a theme and we'll see how this goes. If this game dies, it won't be on my watch.
The theme is LONELINESS. That shouldn't be too hard.

I'll bite if I can think of a perfect song for your excellent theme.

You can just admit that you missed me and you were protesting against people playing the game that I made in my absence. I know the truth.

There are no shitty themes, only lazy interpretations and limited taste to accommodate the theme.

the stupid ass annual lists are to blame really, i tend to spend my music-based free time on those.

I don't agree at all, I think themes are uninteresting for instance if they are too restrictive (like most holiday-related themes) or so abstract they don't produce a cohesive playlist (musical irony etc.)
I don't like metal's representations of the alcohol theme because most alcohol-themed metal I've heard is upbeat and festive, with a few exceptions like Saint Vitus and While Heaven Wept. Non-metal takes on the theme seem more interesting. As a theme it seems very universal and broad to me. That said I didn't like the playlist very much, but I blame that on the participants. That Kult song was so fucking bad, thanks EspaDa for submitting that stinker and then not even rating.
EDIT: Since this post starts a new page, let me reiterate that the new theme is LONELINESS.

I think your complaint about holiday themes is probably just as likely a product of your own limited interpretation of those themes. But also, which has happened to the Halloween and Musical Irony themes, I think they flopped mostly due to a sapped enthusiasm for these games in general.
The current metal theme's playlist is fantastic for example, yet it's quite dead regardless.

The new metal mixtape playlist is amazing and I feel bad for not rating it already, but I've been preoccupied with schoolwork, the Voivod discog poll and the 1998 poll.
tbh I'm getting overwhelmed with all these forum games and I'm kinda hoping the next year we do is one I'm uninterested in so I can take a hiatus (inb4 it's 1989 or something)

The next year is already decided as being 2017.
I tried pretty hard to choose a good song as well as an appropriately thematic song with Exit-13.
