you know what's in a similar style as Battleblock but way better? Bloody Trapland. it's stupidly hard - the WR even has 10+ deaths - but each level is a single screen, and you respawn instantly upon death so you can never lose much progress. it's a blast.

They dressed their first kid up as a scuba diver this past Halloween, plus recorded her looking at a fish tank at a Meijer talking about "da FIS", so they set me up pretty good.

was TAS block too risky too?? is that why that's gone?

I'm pretty sure the reason for that is that really interesting TASes, the ones they actually show on GDQ, take a long time to develop, and at this point the whole block has sort of run its course. It might come back when they've got something really interesting they can do with it, but for the time I think it's likely that they just don't have anything to show. People don't enjoy seeing standard TASes on GDQ, so they don't do those anymore.

That's unfortunate if that's the case. There's so many possibilities that if they focused on doing something unique each year rather than trying to one-up themselves, it would continue to be one of the most fascinating parts of the marathon.

Sorry, I passed out trying to finish these last night. Really the only reason I needed even more than the two weeks was due to holiday travel. Also I listened to everything at least 4 times, and couldn't separate the top 3 - they're basically all tied.

(1ST) Sufjan Stevens - Did I Make You Cry on Christmas Day?
This one really grew on me. It was way too aloof and hipster for me at first, but the synth opening, and most of the instrumental parts throughout the song are excellent. There's something really great about those chugging 8th notes with the simple and fun synth part.

(2nd) Muse - Showbiz
Really glad Bane didn't follow the Christmas theme because I hadn't heard this Muse song before, and like most Muse tracks it fuckin' rules. Really great gradual, but strong build-up to the fiery ending. I like the guitar solo and classic Muse sustained vocals in the chorus w/dramatic vibrato.

(3rd) Panzerballett - Let it Snow

Mr Lasastryke posted...

One of the few times I would want to do without vocals in the song.

Hmmm....I liked the vocals, though the death metal 'grunting' toward the end is more comical and not especially "good". The harmonizing on the back half of the 'Let it Snow' descents is excellent though, as heard at around 1:05. Very interesting chaos, without being too abstract or dissonant.

Alexander Jean, Casey Abrams - We Three Kings
I really like the somewhat ominous tone of this. Reminds me of KT Tunstall or something. Might be even better than the Sarah McLachlan + Bare Naked Ladies version they included in their mash-up with "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen", a favorite of mine for a while. The vocal movement at 3:00, lol wtf, really cool. Her voice is very good.

August Burns Red - Sleigh Ride
This grew on me as well. Drums are very good, and cover a lot of ground rhythmically. Interesting take on this song.

The Alan Parsons Project - Somebody Out There
Not nearly as fun or interesting as Parsons' more experimental "It's Funny You Should Say That", still one of my favorite tracks I heard through Song of the Week (thanks mycro). It's alright though.

Rapsody, Ab-soul - 2 AM
Much better than the Frank Ocean song, though technically that might be considered R&B. Funny that they actually mention Frank towards the end of the song. I really like the line "Everybody ain't family just cuz they call you 'cous' ". Whoever the girl rapper is spits some really good lyrics.

DMX, Divine Bars - Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer
FAHREAL. It's good for a laugh for sure. Honestly one of my favorite renditions of the song, since the original's worn on me after hearing it for 25+ years.

BROCKHAMPTON - BLEACH
Like the Frank Ocean song, not very interesting. The verse where the guy goes into falsetto on the last word of each line is obnoxious, but the verse following that is decent and probably the best part of the song. The twangy guitar loop towards the end is kinda cool, too.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Christmas Nights in Blue
Uhhh.....TSO should just never do songs with lyrics.....ever....based on this and the others I've heard. I didn't even look at the artist and initially figured this was some random, cheesy Christmas original. The piano riff is not good, very basic and almost goofy. The best part is the big guitar hits in what I guess is the chorus. The vocals don't seem to fit well in the verses, and the lyrics are lacking. Again, the chorus is probably where the vocals are at least decent. Just a feeble attempt at a 'swanky' style Christmas song. Stick to instrumentals plz, many of which are very good.

Frank Ocean - Chanel
I don't really get the hype with Frank Ocean. This sounds pretty bad to me. Slow and not very interesting.
