If I can time it out, I'll do a Listening Party for round 1 or at least the following rounds.

Last week, work blew up the LP minutes before I started, and next week has 4 evening meeting scheduled, so it might be threading a needle.
After that things ease up a bit.

I was able to at least get the playlist started but couldn't do much other than drop in a title card here and there while the show progressed. Frustrating to say the least for everyone involved.

That would be great if you can make it work. Thank you!

Given the oblique, open-ended challenge, is it acceptable/useful to include a statement in the submission email about how we fulfilled the challenge, or should we let the songs speak for themselves?

Unless it's very obvious, I think it's fine to include a statement in the submission email. I would probably post it on the boards too.

Round 1 isn't/didn't happen for me, because of reasons.

I'll be here later though. I'm sure of it.

Statement: well, the idea was that rather than do my usual build-up, I would tear the song down as it went. Did it come through in the end? You (the judges) be the judge(s)!
