    It's been fine for me recently, I mostly use iTunes cause I have such a huge library and Universal Scrobbler's a great tool if things mess up. I find it so interesting going back and seeing what I was listening to on a random day three years ago or something.

    Since I'm all caught up with the main show it was great to be able to go on a mini 6 episode binge, it's really interesting seeing everything at the start and looking forward to Season 2. Kinda hoping that eventually some of the main cast'll feature in FTWD.

    Haha, no worries yeah I get that, I was just feeling slightly guilty about it despite all those reasons, wanted to get to know them all better. I will get a vote in on time though, I've only got 2 songs to go before I've heard them all and I've been keeping a note of highlights and I'll re listen to them.

    Ughh still on my first listen through, wish there was more time. Picking out favourites though already. Making notes so I don't forget. :lol:

     

    Pretty good contest actually. :D

     

    I'm not being funny here but Yall have already had two weeks to vote. That is most definitely plenty of time and if you haven't voted with all that time to do so then tough tittieS.
    I guess, I just have a lot of new stuff to listen through, I've been away a fair bit (including 12th - 19th Feb) + this month has been so busy for me, 2 weeks isn't that much compared to the submission stage tbf.

    Started watching this in Decemeber, gave it a few weeks break between both the 1st and 2nd and 2nd and 3rd episodes (mostly because I was watching other things, but also because it started off rather slow) but powered through for the last few days, had a long coach journey yesterday, so just finished. It's actually really addictive, and so interesting. I love the idea of alternate histories, despite this particular one being rather horrifying. Definitely watching season 2 when it comes out.

     

    Unless I'm way off the mark here, the whole show is a splinter from reality. Where one single decision changes the course of history to create an alternate timeline. That happened at some point before or during WWII and we are watching the following events. The films show multiple divergent possibilities in the timeline. Except the 'truth' of history is the Axis powers lost the war and slowly but surely the truth is finding a way to correct history. At the end the Trade Minister both metaphorically and literally 'wakes up' to see the truth before him, although probably only for a brief moment.

     

    And it seemed to me that because virtually every character parallels with another at least once in the show, that it's most likely that Hitler is one of 2 literal men in high castles rather than the sole one.

     

    As I said I may be barking up completely the wrong tree but that's how it seemed to me.

    Seems very plausible, for a while I was thinking that the Trade Minister himself might have been The Man In The High Castle. It does seem to suggest from the title that there's only one but Hitler

    does have that large collection of films

    so that could make sense. I have no idea.

     

    It's got me interested in reading the book now, though I've got a long list of things I want to read and never seem to make time for it any more. :(

    Iz reminded me to do this while "Lee was still being a flop".

    Prospekt's March EP, The Blue Room EP and Ghost Stories bonus tracks would've got high scores on tracks like "Lost+" and "Lost?", "Glass Of Water", "See You Soon" and "Ghost Story" plus a few other B-Sides.

    I just can't give anything lower than 5 so this'll have to do, good thing I'm seeing them live this year. :w00t:

    Absolutely, I wish there could be 10 more. I enjoyed every series, binged watched them all just after Series 8 was finished a couple of years ago. I really 'get' and thoroughly enjoy most of the material Mitchell & Webb put out, I just watched Series 9 episode 1 and I was laughing out loud through more of it than I care to admit. My kind of comedy.

    Yesss great to see another fan of Adam :heart: hope to see more of you around.

    Also, To the Sky appeared on Ocean Eyes (but it might have been the deluxe edition IIRC

    Thank you! Seriously, check my Last.FM and go to overall, I've got something like 7000 plays on Owl City alone, 700 on Sky Sailing, over 1000 on Port Blue and probably a couple of hundred others from minor projects. Like I said in my first post I'm not so obsessed now but I really was and I still love it all. :)

    I think it was on the Japan edition or something because I've got the CD Deluxe so I've just got the single version of "To The Sky" (great movie too).

     

    All Things Bright & Beautiful > The Midsummer Station > Shooting Star EP > Ocean Eyes > Ultraviolet EP > The Midsummer Station - Acoustic EP > Mobile Orchestra > Maybe I'm Dreaming > Of June EP
    Aww, Of June's great, "Designer Skyline" is a real standout on that one.

    I'll try doing this:

    Ocean Eyes > All Things Bright & Beautiful > Maybe I'm Dreaming = Of June > The Midsummer Station > The Midsummer Station Acoustic > Mobile Orchestra = Ultraviolet > Shooting Star - EP

    Since MO's so new it could change, though I don't think anything could overtake the top 2.

    For me Shooting Star EP had some of the weaker TMS tracks, though I like Dementia and Shooting Star. All were still pretty good though.

     

    Talking of that, wasn't "Dementia" a single? Also more recent Christmas singles and the other movie soundtrack releases, "Will I See You Again" for example. I know you're going with wiki, but it makes me question Wikipedia. :P

     

    And god, Jaco found us. Better not let him in the Lounge or it'll look like the Owl Citizens are really threatening to overrun the board.
    Could be worse. Could be Alexis Jordan fans. :D

    Besides, I'm not going to talk about Owl City all the time, it's just while I'm on topic I'm overly enthusiastic.

    I like all of these songs to some degree so any that I give a 'low' score is only in comparison to others. I used to be really obsessed with Owl City, less so now but I still consider myself a loyal fan, especially of his earlier work (Ocean Eyes :wub: ) although a couple from his latest album really stood out (Back Home, This isn't The End etc.). Ocean Eyes was the first album I bought myself, he was also the first major artist I saw live, in terms of inspiration my first Karaoke cover using a proper mic was Owl City (Vanilla Twilight) and one of my more recent proper covers was also Owl City (If My Heart Was A House) AND on top of it all Adam's a really nice guy. I guess I've got a lot of sentimental attachment to his music, especially the earlier albums which certainly includes Sky Sailing. Some of his best songs are singles and yet again some of the even better ones aren't. Still, using what's here:

     

    Ocean Eyes

     

    9.5 Fireflies

    10 Vanilla Twilight

    8 Hello Seattle

    9 Umbrella Beach

    --

    Non Album Singles

     

    10 To the Sky

    9 Peppermint Winter

    --

    All Things Bright And Beautiful

     

    6 Alligator Sky (feat. Shawn Chrystopher)

    7 Galaxies

    10 Deer in the Headlights

    11 Lonely Lullaby

    7.5 Angels

    8.5 Dreams Don't Turn to Dust

    --

    The Midsummer Station

     

    6 Shooting Star

    7.5 Good Time (with Carly Rae Jepsen)

    8.5 Metropolis

    ---

    Mobile Orchestra

     

    8 Beautiful Times (feat, Lindsey Stirling)

    5.5 Verge (feat. Aloe Blacc)

    9 My Everything

    6.5 Unbelievable (feat. Hanson)

     

    And if you're wondering how the hell I found this Iz, I will always know when something to do with Owl City is mentioned, even now. I have a sense about these things. :lol:
