The FOG Factor

[E.N.]

I'm done!

Now the second guessing and self doubt has set in, did I enter the right songs...?

[Kol]

3 players have sent their playlist in so far, all songs have passed the 'Kol decides what a live cover is' test after a few hiccups and we have had 1 change of mind so far, quite literally!

[Jluv]

I'm in and actually so proud of myself that I was able to submit the links (with a little advice from Kol)
MSPainters beware...I might try that soon!!!
(Still haven't totally mastered the GIFs, tho I don't think it's me but something needs to be enabled/disabled, so I think ye are safe for a while 😜)

Will all the links fit in one PM? Do we imbed them as videos?

Will I ever start compiling my list? 😎

Yeah they should all fit in (that's what she said)

When sending the pm you can use the icon to the right of the email attachment tool to copy and paste the YouTube video into and it should link it, and you can put in a one word description and it will imbed into that word.. like this

I did just check that list to make sure none of mine were on it!

Just paste the links in, no need to embed them. 


EN got fancy and created a table for me

I knew I shouldn't have, but I still clicked on that link.

[Leg End Reject]

I know how to imbed, just wasn't sure whether I needed to, or if a link was preferred. I'll get my entry in soon.

There's actually a song on that list that was entered into a walrus before!   

Can't remember who entered it, but I wasn't a fan lol.

It was the Baby One More Time cover.

I even put a timeskip in

If you have a youtube link with lots of chat at the start, you can just add, for example, ?t=1m23s onto the address to have the video start at 1 minute 23 seconds

Oh that's cool, I didn't know about that!

Yeah, handy for this sort of thing. Most of mine are live sessions on radio stations and they sometimes have a chat at the start that you don't want

I know, right? I'm pretty sure that for every 20 songs I try, 10 are invalid and 9 are rubbish

But say one knew a show off, a friend if you will, where would one advise this friend to add that t= thingy into the address.

Asking for a friend, just in case I haven't mentioned that bit.

Sure. Say, for the day that's in it, you just wanted to see Dudek save Shevchenko's penalty to win the 2005 Champions League for Liverpool, you'd make it...

Thanks Nitters! 😁

[Declan A Walsh]

This was a bit of a challenge for me as it is the first time I played an FOG where I had to submit a link. Usually I stay away from those. It will be interesting to see how this works out.

Ha ha, I did plan to timeskip into the chorus of that, but my wife was sat next to me watching telly and I didn't want to explain why I was playing it 🤣

[Wichita Lineman]

@E.N. thanks for that timeskip info. You learn something new every day and one that I was thinking of using and ditched due to a long waffly chat intro can go back into the possible heap I've started to compile.

[RSOAPS]

Late night mid-week submissions entered...

[Kol]

7 entries in now pending a few changes. Thanks everyone.

Might be good to get your ABBA songs in now before all the good ones are picked even if you don't have the rest of your playlist ready

[Wichita Lineman]

I have started but wont get mine in until early next week.

It's a great choice for a category. One that I wouldn't have even thought of myself.
But I'd imagine it might be a bit of a tough one to find not only covers, but 'live' covers at that.


I'm looking forward to the reveal though, becuase it will definitely be an interesting round ..

There are a plethora of abba tribute acts, they are one of the most covered bands ever in that respect, I would think there are plenty of videos if only ametuer recordings available. They have also had plenty of hits.

Saying that, I havent searched for any so I appologise if its a difficult one for folk. I was going to pick The Beatles instead, maybe next time.

[Jluv]

@Kol I'm glad you chose Abba..nothing like a good old Abba sing along..I know I'll be singing along to all the Abba songs in the reveal😂🎤😂😂
PS I love the Beatles too!

[RSOAPS]

I found myself spoilt for choice with the ABBA category, so personally I reckon it was a good one to opt for as a round in this game, but maybe I'm just better at sourcing... 

[aaronjennings]

My parents are both massive ABBA fans, so I was indoctrinated to them from a very early age

[Declan A Walsh]

If the two guys had been called Steve and Dave, the band would have been called ASDA. Just saying. 

[Spears]

I found a lot of baaaad ABBA songs 


I'm definitely looking forward to the reveal now if others are saying that there was plenty of choices about! 

[Kol]

Hey guys, just a reminder, all songs must be LIVE & COVERS, I'm getting promo videos of original songs and I'm pulling my hair out here

If I run this again I will ditch both criteria I think, makes things much easier, however for this one lets stick to the above, we will get there eventually. Again, no big rush, I appreciate it is a bit of work to do with 13 songs.

Thanks everyone for the effort so far

Ban them all

It is harder than I thought, a lot of youtube videos are either older ones filmed on shaky potato phones too far from the stage with terrible sound or sessions type 'live' performances which are done in a studio.
