The Syndicate

This is a music competition hosted by Epignosis and Simon.

The premise is simple: Each category will yield pieces of music from a specific decade, from the 1930s to the present day.

All you must do is pick a piece from that particular decade. To be clear, the choice for a particular decade must be released between the year ending in one and the next year ending in zero. For example, a work from 1980 should be submitted in the 1970s category (because we start counting at 1 and not 0).

That's it!

1930s (1931-1940)
1940s (1941-1950)
1950s (1951-1960)
1960s (1961-1970)
1970s (1971-1980)
1980s (1981-1990)
1990s (1991-2000)
2000s (2001-2010)
2010s (2011-2020)
2020s (2021-Today)

Simon and I had a road trip (with the rest of the family) in which I played us 100 years of tunes, so this experience is based on that.

We will judge each entry 1-10 and combine our scores. The winner gets absolutely nothing. It's great. Sign up.

No hurry. Let's go for a deadline of April 30th so we can do Wednesday reveals at 7pm ET.

Got it.
1. Syn
2. nutella
3. fingersplints
4. falcon45ca
5. S~V~S
6. TonyStarkPrime

No artists are banned. Pick what you want. There's two judges after all.

Just send your submissions to me. No need to send them to two accounts.

it's been a while since I've listened to music pre-60s but should be doable

/in

This looks doable. In.

Of course.





Finally, I'll be able to select music as old as I am

I've got Syn and nutella. List updated. I'll extend the deadline since so many of these things are getting underway and I'm in no hurry (and neither are most of you ).

Oh yikes, I'm sorry, I did forget.

Whats the new deadline? I'll get on it this weekend.

No worries- I likely can't do anything until June anyway.

I'll have subs this week

I've actually done a poor job updating the first post. Whoops. We're up to six. Six!

Let's maybe give this another week and then get rolling with it.

We're planning on closing signups on this tomorrow night.

If you found yourself behind or forgot about this or whatever, but would still like to participate, just send me your first category song and the rest in a few days. Not a big deal. Would still love to have you. This goes for anybody.

Also, if you sent something and your name isn't in the list up top, let me know please.

Also, we'd like to run this Wednesday evenings at 7pm EST. How would that work for folks? A little midway thingie.

That would be fine with me.

That works for me too.

With 7 participants, we're looking to work through two decades at a time, beginning Wed July 5 at 7pm ET.

This should have been my 90s song.

I pretty much fused that and a song by Tito and Tarantula in my intro to Vocaroo 3.
