What do you think the catagories should be? I'm pretty sure I'd agree.
One thing for sure, there shouldn't be any covers in 'best lyrics'.
P-
Best Instrumental Track
Best Vocal Track
Best Computer Track
Best Cover (I think I would exclude classical and jazz here to make it more fair; depending on how many classical or jazz contributions there are, those categories could be added)
Best Original Composition/Arrangement (I agree with gregsflat about taking out "Arrangement" here)
Best Lyrics (that should only be lyrics written by the entrant xymself in my opinion)
Best Musician (Solo) (here I disagree with gregsflat; I don't think this should only be for solo performances, but anything soloistic even if there were others contributing to the piece. Like in the lyrics category, the musician in question would have to be the entrant)
Best Group

The only successful votes were for solo instrumentation.

Originally posted by NordlysThis seems to be the general consensus. I did want to make my own mark on the whole thing but I'm slowlty starting to think 'If something works, why fix it?'.

Originally posted by StarrmanHm, sounds like something to include in my workshop about inertia and action in music, apathy being closely related to inertia.
I've managed to create a new genre. Somehow I've condensed apathy into a musical process, I can feel the millions of quatloots flooding in now.
