Some fantastic songs in this round.
Love Miley Cyrus - and the remix with the Stevie Nicks sample is also superb.

Irish Aris

Art D'Ecco - TV God










I feel harsh scoring this song so low, because it’s a good track. Just came down to preference unfortunately.

In 2nd place with 11 points

Neowise

Olivia Rodrigo - Drivers Licence







This is incredible. Did a bit of research and apparently it’s a massive hit this year *Shrugs* Never heard it before listening to it for this Walrus. Anyways I just loved this song each and every time it came on. The way it crescendos upwards in the chorus, it’s just beautiful!

[Necro]

So Spears and Kol left....

Natalie Imbruglia - Build it better









Didn’t even realise Natalie Umbrellastand was still making music    The song was ok, I just thought it seriously missed a bit of power in the chorus, the whole song was basically at the same pace. Just ended up a bit skippy in the end because it’s so bland.

Jonathan Roy - Lost










There’s a bang of Dermot Kennedy to this lad but I can forgive that (I do like Dermie tbf). His voice is INCREDIBLE though, and that’s what sold me on this track above the others really. Just loved it. Top choice, top marks.

[Diamonds of Frost]

Lots of new songs now for me to listen to

Well done Spears and EN in the first round

[nothing]

I'm surprised I actually recognised some of those, I must be listening to more radio than I thought.

[Spears]

Oh my god! oh my god! I'm delighted with that !! 

I was so worried that it might miss the mark.. its an extremely powerful song, and it has a very personal meaning to me. chuffed to the brim with that I am

[E.N.]

Well done Sinead. I'll have to add a few of these to my walrus listening tomorrow

Good work Necro, professional as always!

[Necro]

So, our score table for round 2:





And our current score table:





Meaning Neowise has a 5 point lead on E.N. at the top with 3 rounds to go.....

[Necro]

Next reveal will likely be the same time next week. I was planning on going straight through with them all in the next few days but I've got an exam for promotion next week so have to drop everything until I get that done and dusted....

Apologies about that!

I'm torn on this

[Necro]

Kicking off again this evening at 7pm folks!

[E.N.]

Hope that means the promotion exam went well

[Necro]

Hope that means the promotion exam went well

I've done all the practice I can really, have taken Monday and Tuesday off to sit it now

Ah, very good. Best of luck!

[cee_jay]

Best of luck with the promotion!

[Necro]

Best of luck with the promotion!

It's the E-Tray. I've done a good few practice modules the last few days and it's not too bad. It's pretty much what I do (minus the delegation) on a daily basis anyways so it's just timing moreso that I wanted to practice.

[Necro]

Something Borrowed


A cover song for the borrowed – fairly straight forward right? Let’s have a look at some of my picks…


















Same story here, saving top and bottom 2 for last, right up the table otherwise. One duplicate in this round….

[E.N.]

I submitted a cover I entered into Rikand's inaugural walrus. Hoping to improve on 13th, so I'm happy there's my 12 of us

Rikky said "...this cover version... just doesnt work for me"

Johnny Cash - Hurt







Sacrilege… right? Look I love this track and have done for years but at the moment it’s just really overplayed for me. It was submitted by two people to my last Walrus and I’m all ‘Hurted’ out right now so unfortunately it gets shunted down the list for other, fresher tracks. Still brilliant mind.

[Necro]

In 9th place with 5 points

Spears

Juice WRLD - Lucid Dreams








This was new but it just didn’t grab my attention that much. So we ended up here.

[ShaneU]

Hope someone sent a song off the new Angel Olsen EP with the 80's covers on it, really good.

Love is a Battlefield - Luke Evans






This is a decent cover. Better than the original? Nah. But that’s not the point of the round. Here is a fair scoring for it imo.
