Music League 18 · Category: Competitive Music Curation · Price: Free
I've been coming to the Music League for 18 seasons now and I have a lot of thoughts. Overall: 4 stars. jsexe won with 89 points and honestly, fine, I accept it. The service — meaning the competition format, the themes, the voting — was solid this league. 5 rounds felt like the right length. Not too short, not too long. I've had longer leagues and I leave feeling tired. This was good pacing. A 20-point margin sealed the result.
Standout "menu item": "Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe" by Whale, submitted by jsexe. 15 points. Legitimately the best thing served this league. Would recommend to a friend. Comes back to that round theme perfectly. jsexe clearly knew what they were doing and I respect the commitment.
"Didn't know the original Sisters of Mercy version, so I watched that music video on YouTube and realized it was featured on Beavis & Butthead way back when."
Shane on This Corrosion by Diane Birch, The Phenomenal Handclap Band · Jon's Theme - Reimagined Classics
Round breakdown (since people keep asking in the comments): "Jon's Theme - Reimagined Classics" — 13 pts to Jared, well deserved. "Shane's Theme - Let Me Check My Calendar" was more divisive, winner jsexe with 11 pts — I personally would have voted differently but that's the whole point I guess. There were 3 more rounds and they were also fine or good.
Jared and Jaso(n) made their debut this league, bringing fresh ears to the competition. The departure of ratsimpson left a gap that others were eager to fill. On the leaderboard: jsexe climbed 4 spots while Eric climbed 5 spots. The changing lineup is part of the experience at this point. I don't always love change but it keeps things interesting.
Pros: Great music selection overall. Good theme variety. The community of 12 is the right size. Cons: The waiting between rounds. The anxiety during voting. The way I check the standings even though I know I shouldn't.
Will absolutely return for League 19. jsexe — good run, tip your servers, see you next season.
