9th MOST IDM Tournament - Round 2 (32 contestants...)

[Root5]

There were lots of tough match ups last round, and lots of close calls. Already, I'm guessing most fans are ANGRY AS ALL HECK!

 

There were 3 ties in the previous round. These ties were called by removing my vote (because I'm the gracious host...). Because of this:

• SPISH gets into round 2, beating Sirro by Effects Twin winning a Granny
• Releasing minimal techno on a wire recording limited to ten squeaks past Spending two years writing, etc...
• The minipops kid beats 512GB micro SD cards

The top 2 seeds are still in: Ulillillia losing all the time, and Enjoying getting your teeth drilled.

 

Seeds 3 and 4 were overthrown in massive upsets: LANDING ON A FUCKING COMET BITCHES lost modestly to Not making eye contact, and Ulillillia lost to Listening to music that sounds like it's from the future whilst worrying about the future.

 

Both variants of Sirro by Effects Twin... are now out! One of them lost to an Autechre topic. There are currently 3 topics that explicitly mention Autechre, and only one that vaguely references Aphex Twin (The Fact Mag one). Does this mean that Autechre are more IDM than Aphex?

 

Round 2.... BEGIN!

 

EDIT: Here's the bracketology.

 

Also, I just realized there are actually 4 topics that explicitely mention Autechre. Holy shit.

very autechre-centric this year... sean plz

It took this tournament for me to realize that I frequently dream about lucid dreaming, but I've never actually lucid dreamed.

 

Also, I'm pretty curious what "Tribute to a grainy photo of Björk wearing colorful sneakers" would sound like...

[Npoess]

Go " Enjoying getting your teeth drilled for the texture of the sound" and "Being emotionally attached to your houseplants"

[YEK]

Olympus Mons could be a really cool subject to put to music, that and moss covered everything

[Stock]

Overseas bagel vs teeth drilling... That's hard

[triachus]

Come on "Sean Booth spending four hours on CHATMM, and saying he can't do a SoundCloud dump because he tossed all his old unreleased stuff on a landfill" !

 

 

Landfills are much more IDM than Hyperparasites. Landfills probably have hyperparasites. Just imagine Hyperparasites hyperparasiting on parasites that are on a rat thats chilling on old unreleased Autechre material.

I'm growing fonder of the longer and more specific entries the more I read them, still no idea of who I'm backing yet as there are a lot of albums I'd like to hear.

[Root5]

PIzzaria Autechre has an amazing comeback!

[Lewps]

excellent selection, some nominations capture the true spirit of IDM.

[hoggy]

[azatoth]

because idm is about losers

[Goiter Sanchez]

How is Ryan Wyer losing? What the fuck??

[Cryptowen]

How is Ryan Wyer losing? What the fuck??

i submitted the hipster stereotype one & i still want ryan wyer to get it, so that in 10-20 years he'll be able to tell people that a bunch of strangers on an internet forum wrote an electronic music album about him when he was a small child

 

Zany options I'm backing:

Ulillillia losing

sending a bagel overseas

photo of bjork wearing colourful shoes

ryan wyers

 

Sensible options I'm backing:

Architectural principles for everything except archetecture

Emotions for houseplants

Dreaming about lucid dreaming

hyperparasites

olympus mons

digital vinyls

moss covered everything

hypervelocity stars (dunno what these are but they sound cool)

i really can't comprehend how ryan wyer isn't winning this instantly. some fucking kid is living the dream life, popping massive youtube vidz on the webs, and instead some of you faggots go for that some old hateful self-deprecating routine you've been going down for the past 14 years

for fucks sake

 

i demand you to tell me why you are not voting for me.

What the hell is wrong with you autistic pricks. You are not IDM. Having to use the cubicle in a public toilet and still pissing on your shoes is not IDM. Having a minor facial skin disease is not IDM. Not being able to look someone in the eye is no more IDM than consistently leaving bits of shitty toilet paper stuck to your anus you stupid stupid cunts. Just because 80% of the plebs who inhabit this shithole do or do not do something, does not make it IDM.

 

Bjork is wearing reebok instapumps in 1994. The most IDM year. In the photo above what do you think Bjork is listening to? The year Amber was released. The year SAW II was released.

 

 

When the instapumps were first released in 94 you could buy gas canisters to inflate your fucking shoes. Bjork has just inflated her shoes with CO2 and is settling down to listen to Yulquen in a fucking quarry or something. There is nothing more IDM.

 

You stupid ignorant pricks, you only started listening to IDM after growing out of wanking off over Trent Reznor in that awkward gay emo phase you all went through. Pricks.

Dude, Ulillillia eats the minipoop kid for breakfast on top of his Ae Pizza (<-- that's quite IDM).

 

Also, massive lol @ kakapo. If being ugly is part of being the top IDM personality, then Bjork is an obvious winner (just kidding, don't spam me with photos of Bjork being overly cute please)

mmm

[Stock]

OK now THAT'S a photograph I could vote for !

[Root5]

Not grainy enough :P

[usagi]

Bjork is a chimp.

 

also smoking a pipe in a space helmet can suck mad dicks.
