    Grrrr...my internet is slow today and it's taking longer to slice the pie than it should do!

    Will aim to get to £1.50 and then go for a run. I am using this to pay this month's Barclaycard, I've decided :)

    When did you join Baybee?

    That song I just listened to was Sockpuppet - Bad Cat. Listen to it if you fancy being aurally assaulted ;)

    I must say, slicethepie has helped me to appreciate rap and hip-hop more. I do like some of these tracks despite not really liking the genre as a whole (or at least I didn't think I liked the genre).

    well done auburnette, i;m at 54 now but accuracy is 80, how do they measure accuracy?

    It's based on how other scouts rated the songs, so be careful not to rate too many 0s and 10s.

    I have been doing the following

    0: haven't given it, but would only give it for something so bad it has to be a joke.
    1: have only given it twice to things that made me want to gouge my ears out.
    2: have given a few times to things that were undeniably poor.
    3: have given it to stuff which is bad, but not really really bad.
    4: this is my standard mark for things which I think are on the poor side of ok.
    5: the majority of those songs which I neither like or dislike (ie most of the stuff i listen to) gets a 5.
    6: use this for stuff that has promise but isn't perfect.
    7: use this for stuff that I really like.
    8: use this for stuff that I think is outstanding.
    9: haven't used it, but would use it for stuff that I would want to buy.
    10: if it were this good i'd be shrieking about the artist on STP forums.#

    Hope that helps. The money seems to stack up a lot quicker now I am on 2 stars :)
