Gobcord Rewind

**Gobcord Rewind** is a seasonal release of playlists in which participating members of Gobcord choose songs based on varying criteria five times a year. It began as a music playlist of songs which were chosen to personally represent each participating member of Gobcord. To create this playlist, several members were asked to choose one song they listen to that they believe accurately represents who they are as a person, sort of like a personal theme song. The playlist was originally planned to be on Spotify, but was also released on YouTube for better accessibility. The first selection includes 23 songs; 22 songs for 22 members and 1 song for an all-encompassing "theme song" for Gobcord. It was released on 20 July 2021.

It was later decided on 29 September 2021 that Gobcord Rewind be a recurring event released in the ultimate month of each of the four seasons -- February 20th, May 20th, August 20th, and November 20th, with the criteria varying each season and set by the Gobernors. Gobcord Rewind sometimes has Spotify releases.

On 26 September 2022, it was decided once again that, instead, Gobcord Rewind would be released five times a year (February, May, August, October, December) on the first of each month. This was done in order to make the timing of the Rewinds less random and in timing with the coming of the holidays.

The next Gobcord Rewind is planned to release 9 December 2022.

## Selections

### 1st Gobcord Rewind (July 2021)

The first ever Gobcord Rewind, which wasn't released on the now-established season schedule, was released 20 July 2021 and includes 22 participants with 23 songs. Songs were individually chosen by each participant based on how much it accurately and comprehensively embodied their personal identities, with one song chosen (undemocratically) at the end to represent Gobcord as a whole.

23. Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles on Revolver (1966); chosen to represent all of Gobcord for its lyrics: "Ahh, look at all the lonely people..." "All the lonely people, where do they all come from?" A proper theme song for Gobcord was meant to be voted on by a poll, but I got lazy and just added this in as a gag. It is the server's *de facto* anthem.

### Gobcord Rewind Nov '21 - Introduction to the Snow

The second seasonal Gobcord rewind features songs from 18 participating members of the server. Members were asked to pick songs that reminded them most of the holiday season, whether it be the winter, the autumn, or the summer. The playlist has 19 songs (18 songs on Spotify), averaging 1.056 songs per member. The playlist was released both on YouTube and on Spotify on 20 November 2021 with a slight alteration between the two to accommodate for gaps in the selection on Spotify. It's the first Gobcord Rewind playlist to feature custom cover art and a unique title.

### Gobcord Rewind Aug '22 - Transition

Gobcord Rewind Aug '22 was released 25 August 2022, five days later than the planned release date of August 20th on account of the creator's (Sam's) marijuana abuse in college. Similarly, it is the first Rewind not to be arranged by Sam, but rather his friend Greem. It is the only Rewind so far to feature a prompt generated by the "one word" restriction imposed in order to generate creativity (this being the word "transition"). This was intended to dictate the prompts for all future Rewinds, but was abandoned or altered following the August release. It is the first Rewind since the first official release to not be titled off of a song in the selection. It features 18 songs on Spotify and 19 on YouTube.
