Modern Music (side event)
Posted: Mon Aug 23, 2021 8:32 pm
Hi all, I’m in the process of writing a side event called Modern Music. This is a set exclusively about popular music (meaning, exclusive of jazz and classical music) since 1990. The difficulty is open-level. There will be 6 packets of 20 powermarked tossups.
The distribution is as follows:
5 1990s
2 rock
2 hip-hop/R&B
1 pop
5 2000s
2 rock
2 hip-hop/R&B
1 pop
5 2010s
2 rock
2 hip-hop/R&B
1 pop
5 other or common link since 1990 (including 2020's), including country, folk, electronic, and genre-defiant music amongst others
Because of other commitments, my goal is to finish this set very slowly over the next year and hopefully play this at an in-person mirror in the summer of 2022 (at CO or another tournament weekend). If the set gets finished earlier and there’s demand for it, I can run an online mirror, or maybe an in-person mirror can be arranged in some way.
Thank you all! :)
