Week 08: iArena Playlist
Since I'm the captain, I have abused my position to choose our next group entry without your consent. Now bow down and kiss my feet! pirate
I kid. I do want to do my group submission suggestion, though, so I decided I'd make a thread for it early so that we can get some songs selected.
In this thread you can both sign up and suggest some songs. In fact, it's mandatory that if you sign up, you suggest a song. That way we can match a song with every person. I'll list the song that the participant SUGGESTED here in the thread. You won't know what song you got until we assign them randomly; they'll be sent to you via PM 3nodding
Please try to keep the artist inclusion down to one song per artist on our "playlist." For example, if someone suggests a song by Lady GaGa, don't suggest ANOTHER song by GaGa. All songs are approved from the moment that the post is made, so you can take a suggestion and count it as on the list whether it's been updated or not.
Now then, the point of this group entry is to make a series of avatars reflecting the guild's varied musical tastes by using items here on Gaia to create a visual interpretation of the lyrics and music. Your descriptions can be whatever you want, but we advise that they be whichever part of the song that you feel your avatar best interprets.
When we have a good number of participants, I'll use a random number generator using the order that you all post your sign-up in to assign you songs. Good luck, you'll need it. Transforming lyrics into an avatar isn't really as easy as it sounds =P
Please refrain from choosing songs in foreign languages. Not everyone can understand Japanese, French, Spanish, German, or what have you. Translations of lyrics aren't acceptable, we're trying to get interpretation through LISTENING, not reading, and to do that we need to be able to understand, capiche? Post a YouTube video including the song!!! Posts that fail to do this will not be accepted as participating. The same goes for song suggestion; if you don't suggest one, you won't be allowed to participate. Giving a link to the lyrics to the song isn't necessary but appreciated! I know I said that the point is to listen and create, but sometimes you can't 100% understand lyrics and things come out not making sense. For example, until I read the lyrics to the song, Ignorance (by Paramore) made me laugh because I thought that the lyrics "I don't want to feel your pain" were "I don't want to finger paint" and that just doesn't fit.
