Hello all, and welcome to the results of the second BuzzJack Unknown Pleasures Contest!

It's been a close one, and the following three hours promise lots of excitement, in massive contrast to the one horse race we had last time out.

I shall begin the results in approximately ONE HOURS TIME. For now though, ponder the following questions:

• How do you think your song will do? Better or worse than UP 1?
• What songs do you think will make up the top 3?
• Is this all an act and it's not going to be exciting at all?

REMEMBER, DON'T TELL US WHICH SONG IS YOURS OR TRY TO GUESS WHO SENT WHAT

I will be doing the results in the same way as I did before, so the song that was last on the voting thread (this time Mdnr 'I Go Away') will be the last one to have its sender revealed, and the sender of that will have their votes revealed last (will they be the deciding ones?)

Posted by: Dandy* 16th September 2010, 06:00 PM

I can't remember where Magic Kids finished last time but I expect mine to do worse this time than last.

Hopefully Ou Est Le Swimming Pool will be top 3.

Myself, I obviously know the results so can't do any predictions or anything but I'd always doubt I'd do as well as 3rd last time, especially as I never really know what to send. My first choice act had been chosen by someone else and whilst I could've said "they've already been chosen, do you want to send someone else?" I thought I shouldn't as I hadn't decided at the time! Top half will be nice.

Posted by: Parker 16th September 2010, 06:06 PM

OMG ~~~SWOON~~~

Posted by: Hitstastic 16th September 2010, 06:17 PM

I actually have a feeling my entry might finish near the bottom of the leaderboard - nobody has mentioned it when posting their faves which automatically means it hasn't score many points - or indeed any.

Posted by: Dandy* 16th September 2010, 06:18 PM

Yeah, tbh I'm expecting Hits' entry to do poorly also.

Posted by: Suedehead2 16th September 2010, 06:21 PM

I'm hoping I might break into the elite top 22 this time

Oh hai

I LOVE THALIA.

Posted by: Tyron 16th September 2010, 06:23 PM

I'm expecting my entry to do fairly badly in comparison to Slagsmalsklubben, given it was a bit too poppy (even cheesy) and didn't get a single mention in the voting thread...I'll be pleased with top half!

Posted by: SKOB 16th September 2010, 06:23 PM

Same with me

Exciting.

Posted by: Tyron 16th September 2010, 06:24 PM

I'm also quite glad to see that my newfound love for Diamond Rings (which has led me to re-evaluate Wait and See as amazing) wouldn't have changed its position last time around GUILT GONE.

Posted by: Dandy* 16th September 2010, 06:24 PM

I desperately want to know who sent this in case we ever have a banning competition or anything.

Posted by: Brett-Butler 16th September 2010, 06:25 PM

I had high hopes before entering the song, but now I'd just be happy if I beat the 30 points that I got the last time.

And I have a sneaking suspicion that I'll be the only one who gives full marks to the song I have full marks to.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 06:25 PM

There's a foreign version of it too, Dandy!

Posted by: Dandy* 16th September 2010, 06:28 PM

Really? I shall download it ASAP

Although to be fair, I can imagine it may be better if I couldn't understand it.

Posted by: Parker 16th September 2010, 06:29 PM

IF ONLY YOU TOLD US ABOUT IT EARLIER

Gosh, talk about ruining the victory chances for this song

Posted by: Hitstastic 16th September 2010, 06:29 PM

The fact you've chosen Thalia makes it even worse. I guess my entry just "faded into all the others" like others have been mentioning.

I fully expect my entry to finish bottom but I dont mind, worth it for some epic discoveries in this contest.

Posted by: Parker 16th September 2010, 06:32 PM

Can it get less than that? Please!

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 06:32 PM

RIGHT. STARTING NOW!

Like this first UP, I will start with the non-participants vote, and once again that's just NickF1. A big thank you to Nick again, certainly nothing wrong with seeking new music! .

Nick's votes:

01 - Thalia

02 - Future Islands

03 - Viola

04 - Valravn

05 - Motion City Soundtrack

06 - The Prototypes

08 - Peter Murphy

10 - Sonoio

12 - Band of Skulls

15 - Ou Est Le Swimming Pool

Posted by: Parker 16th September 2010, 06:34 PM

Thalia Top 10! LOL You won't see this every day.

Again, not getting the obsession with OELSP.

Posted by: Tyron 16th September 2010, 06:35 PM

Miami Horror did what OELSP did, but far, far better.

Posted by: ▲▲▲ 16th September 2010, 06:35 PM

AURAL TRAITOR

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 06:37 PM

1. Motion City Soundtrack 'Her Words Destroyed My Planet' sent by JamesP. The first of 6 debutants, how will Motion City Soundtrack do for JamesP? It got off to an OK start with 5 points.

James's votes:

01 - Wild Nothing

02 - Miami Horror

03 - Ou Est Le Swimming Pool

04 - Chapel Club

05 - Sloan

06 - Telegraphs

08 - Sonoio

10 - Band of Skulls

12 - Wonder Villains

15 - Aloe Blacc



So the only songs that Nick voted for which recieve more points are the top 3 which changes order with Band of Skulls taking the early lead. They're unlikely to stay there for the next set of votes though, given that song was number 2 on this list. But which person with such excellent taste has sent it?

Posted by: Dandy* 16th September 2010, 06:37 PM

I was just about to post this very combination of words.

Posted by: Tyron 16th September 2010, 06:38 PM

Oh that Aloe Blacc track was WONDERFUL. I totally didn't expect to like it either!

Posted by: Parker 16th September 2010, 06:39 PM

JamesP sending an awful pop/punk track. SHOCKER MUCH?!

Posted by: JamesP 16th September 2010, 06:39 PM

I know, there was just something brilliant about it. I dont even know what it was, but it was amazing.

Posted by: JamesP 16th September 2010, 06:39 PM

I sincerley hope this is sarcastic.

Posted by: SKOB 16th September 2010, 06:39 PM

I Need a Dollar is a bit of MTV hit here

Posted by: ▲▲▲ 16th September 2010, 06:39 PM

I am listening to my favourite song. WHY IS IT SO GOOD.

Please win.

Posted by: Severin 16th September 2010, 06:39 PM

I fully expect mine to do middle to bottom. I actually wish I'd picked something else and hadn't rushed my choice

Posted by: Parker 16th September 2010, 06:39 PM

Indeed!

Posted by: tonyttt31 16th September 2010, 06:41 PM

I can't remember any of the names of any of the songs apart from my favourite 4.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 06:42 PM

Well that would be me, of course!

2. Band of Skulls 'Death By Diamonds and Pearls' sent by RabbitFurCoat.

My votes:

01 - Veronica Falls

02 - Animal Collective

03 - Ou Est Le Swimming Pool

04 - Future Islands

05 - Sloan

06 - Lake Heartbeat

08 - Museum of Bellas Artes

10 - Wild Nothing

12 - Chapel Club

15 - Aloe Blacc



A consecutive 15 points for Aloe Blacc puts 'I Need a Dollar' top the top. Band of Skulls only fall down the one place as Ou Est Le Swimming Pool continue their good start and it becomes the only song to have scored points from all three sets of votes. 21 songs now have points as Museum of Bellas Artes, Lake Heartbeat, Animal Collective and Veronica Falls all get off the mark.

SORRY PETER MURPHY AND WONDER VILLAINS. BOTH GREAT TOO!

My favourite has zero points

I don't like you.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 06:45 PM

It was one of three songs I only listened to once.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 06:45 PM

27 more votes to go yet!

Posted by: ▲▲▲ 16th September 2010, 06:47 PM

Stars, Kent, Gang Gang Dance and Mdnr will climb quickly. You're just being sneaky.

Posted by: Parker 16th September 2010, 06:47 PM

I think we might be having the same favourite!

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 06:47 PM

3. Stars 'Fixed' sent by Mikey. Mikey of course looking to follow up an excellent 4th placed finish with Diamond Rings. 'Fixed' is yet to get off the mark though and it's obviously not going to score anything from this set.

Mikey's votes:

01 - Telegraphs

02 - Valravn

03 - Future Islands

04 - Momus

05 - Motion City Soundtrack

06 - Kent

08 - Sloan

10 - Sonoio

12 - Lake Heartbeat

15 - Peter Murphy



No points given to the previous top 3 mean that Sonoio and Peter Murphy move into it after medal position points. Sloan continue their solid start with a third set of points, and there are first points to Kent and Momus.

Posted by: tonyttt31 16th September 2010, 06:48 PM

I kinda liked I Need a Dollar but I didn't vote for it.

Posted by: Tyron 16th September 2010, 06:48 PM

Did we actually get any nul pointers?

Posted by: JamesP 16th September 2010, 06:48 PM

I'd just like to point out to Mikey Motion Picture Soundtrack is a different band entireley.

Posted by: Severin 16th September 2010, 06:48 PM

Great song though and a top choice

Posted by: SKOB 16th September 2010, 06:49 PM

Hurrah, go Kent

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 06:49 PM

No. Every song recieved points from at least two people!

Posted by: Brett-Butler 16th September 2010, 06:49 PM

This is a lot closer this time around. Exciting times indeed.

Posted by: chrisfishlock 16th September 2010, 06:49 PM

on the band of skulls tune, i sort of liked it but it didnt sound anything special or unique.

Posted by: Parker 16th September 2010, 06:50 PM

Somebody ELSE voted for Thalia?!

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 06:50 PM

Sorry, that will have been me!

If I'm making mistakes this early then God knows what it'll be like at the end. It only took me about FOUR HOURS!

WORST HOST EVER

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 06:52 PM

Their album is really good. Some great songs on there. '...Pearls' probably isn't my favourite but I didn't really know what else to send from them. It's a bit more memorable.

Posted by: Parker 16th September 2010, 06:52 PM

Rich voting for Thalia?! There's GOTTA be a limit somewhere!

I'd say ban all three involved from UPIII

Posted by: Severin 16th September 2010, 06:52 PM

I Know What I Am is my favourite by them but Pearls probably is catchier.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 06:53 PM

4. Kent 'Den Döda Vinkeln' sent by Tonyttt31. Tony was surprised with how well his entry in UP1 did, but has said he thinks Kent could finish top 5 or bottom, so maybe nothing will surprise this time?!

Tony's votes:

01 - Lake Heartbeat

02 - Viola

03 - Wild Nothing

04 - Ou Est Le Swimming Pool

05 - Sloan

06 - Sonoio

08 - Future Islands

10 - Miami Horror

12 - Ghost Society

15 - Peter Murphy



Another 15 points for Peter Murphy sends it to the top. Sonoio overtake the previous leader but remain second. More points for Ou Est Le Swimming Pool and Sloan, and the first points for Ghost Society puts it straight into the top half!

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 06:54 PM

Gooddelta did not partake, FEAR NOT

Posted by: Tyron 16th September 2010, 06:54 PM

Miami Horror on TWELVE? OUTRAGE.

Posted by: chrisfishlock 16th September 2010, 06:55 PM

i reckon they will rise mega though.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 06:56 PM

I do like that too. I really like the first track, Light of the Morning, but I'm not sure it'd go down well. It's too short I think.

Posted by: SKOB 16th September 2010, 06:56 PM

Great choice Tony although they have better songs

Posted by: ▲▲▲ 16th September 2010, 06:56 PM

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 06:56 PM

Posted by: Tyron 16th September 2010, 06:56 PM

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 06:56 PM

You can't finish second everywhere.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 06:57 PM

This may yet happen of course.

Posted by: SKOB 16th September 2010, 06:57 PM

Me too..AND my favourite song

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 06:58 PM

5. Miami Horror 'Moon Theory' sent by Casey. 'Moon Theory' seems to be one of the favourites pre-results but it's had a fairly average start.

Casey's votes:

01 - Mdnr

02 - Future Islands

03 - Telegraphs

04 - Viola

05 - Wonder Villains

06 - Sonoio

08 - Museum of Bellas Artes

10 - Stars

12 - Prototypes

15 - Gang Gang Dance



Only one of the top 7 get any points from Casey, that one being Sonoio who benefit by going to the top. Gang Gang Dance and Stars both get their first points with big scores, and Mdnr with a small one. Only two songs are now pointless. Future Islands pick up points again, they're recieving quite a few votes but not anything big.

Posted by: tonyttt31 16th September 2010, 06:59 PM

Suggestions please.....

Posted by: chrisfishlock 16th September 2010, 06:59 PM

6. Animal Collective 'Leaf House' sent by Chapstick. Another debutant in Chapstick, Animal Collective not had a particularly good start. Maybe they're too well known and popular for this place?

Chapstick's votes:

01 - Ou Est Le Swimming Pool

02 - Skyline

03 - Ghost Society

04 - Wild Nothing

05 - Peter Murphy

06 - Mdnr

08 - Prototypes

10 - Bear McCreary

12 - Wonder Villains

15 - Band of Skulls



THANKYOU CHAPSTICK

A 15 for Band of Skulls mean they've now recieved a 15, a 12 and a 10, but nothing else as they move back into the top 3. Peter Murphy and Sonoio swap places again at the top and all songs now have points, an impressive 10 for Bear and a couple for Skyline. Veronica Falls and Thalia are now joined together at the bottom, they couldn't be much more different. The Wonder Villains and Prototypes climb further up the top 10.

Leaf House is a great track, i'm surprised its so low.

Posted by: SKOB 16th September 2010, 07:05 PM

Well my all time favourite from them is Columbus. Other amazing singles: En himmelsk drog, 747, Dom andra and Musik non stop.

BUT it depends whether you prefer the singles or album tracks. I think Isola is often considered as their best album

Posted by: tonyttt31 16th September 2010, 07:06 PM

Miami Horror reminded me of George Michael's Precious which I love.

Posted by: M!key 16th September 2010, 07:06 PM

I was going to say I'm still without points but thanks to Casey, I've made my mark

Posted by: Dandy* 16th September 2010, 07:07 PM

I'm liking this, the votes are so inconsistent that it's really not at all clear what's going to end up doing well.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 07:08 PM

7. Museum of Bellas Artes 'Who Do You Love' sent by Broken Telephone (▲▲▲). Ryan is the third person making their debut, and is used to finishing quite highly in these. Middling along at the moment though....

Broken Telephone's votes:

01 - Animal Collective

02 - Stars

03 - MDNR

04 - Veronica Falls

05 - Ghost Society

06 - Miami Horror

08 - Wild Nothing

10 - Band of Skulls

12 - Sonoio

15 - Future Islands



12 points for Sonoio see them become the first act to pass the 50 mark as they continue to swap the lead with Peter Murphy. Band of Skulls get another top 3 and climb up to second. Future Islands first 15 points put them up to 4th and Wild Nothing also climb in the top 10. A 4 for Veronica Falls sees it climb up from the bottom leaving Thalia stranded on her own. Massive shocker.

Posted by: tonyttt31 16th September 2010, 07:08 PM

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 07:14 PM

8. Thalia 'Closer to You' sent by Shakilover. First Utada and now Thalia langushing at the bottom, it doesn't look promising for Shakilover but fair play for entering a contest and discovering songs which might not be the thing you'd normally seek - it's good to have some variety and don't get too disheartened about all the Thalia talk. People are naughty you really liked my CD from the CD swap you must have fantastic taste.

Shakilover's votes:

01 - Mdnr

02 - Motion City Soundtrack

03 - Peter Murphy

04 - Viola

05 - Stars

06 - Ou Est Le Swimming Pool

08 - Telegraphs

10 - Valravn

12 - Wonder Villains

15 - Miami Horror



The Wonder Villains 12 moves them within touching distance of the top 3 whilst the lead doesn't change for the first time in 5 votes. Miami Horror climb well into the top 10 from outside and Valravn move into the mid-table mix with 10 points. Telegraphs and Stars climb a few too.

Posted by: Tyron 16th September 2010, 07:15 PM

9. Future Islands ft Katrina Ford 'In the Fall' sent by Medicated Soap. KING of contests like these, Ben always does well and Future Islands have started well so far, sitting in 5th.

Medicated Soap's votes:

01 - Ou Est Le Swimming Pool

02 - Mdnr

03 - Lake Heartbeat

04 - Band of Skulls

05 - Stars

06 - Miami Horror

08 - Animal Collective

10 - Veronica Falls

12 - Wild Nothing

15 - Gang Gang Dance



The top 3 remain static once more although the gap at the top is now just one point. Moon Theory's ascent continues into the top 5 and is closely followed by Wild Nothing. 15 points for Gang Gang Dance means it joins Aloe Blacc in the top 10, both songs having recieved just two votes, both of them being 15 points - marmite? A 10 for Veronica Falls moves it into the top 20 for the first time. Mdnr keep getting the odd point but nothing much, whilst Animal Collective's 8 means there are now just four songs yet to reach double figures.

Posted by: Suedehead2 16th September 2010, 07:19 PM

I thought Miami Horror was good, but it's being overated here, I think it missed points from me.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 07:23 PM

10. Telegraphs 'I Don't Navigate By You' sent by Ghosthunter. The Telegraphs have had a reasonable start in 16th, Ghosty will hope they can rise a bit to match the top 10 finish he got with Lay Low in the first contest.

Ghosthunter's votes:

01 - Ou Est Le Swimming Pool

02 - Kent

03 - Peter Murphy

04 - Wonder Villains

05 - Miami Horror

06 - Momus

08 - Skyline

10 - Future Islands

12 - Valravn

15 - Museum of Bellas Artes



Once again the top 3 remain the same but things are much closer now. No points for the top 2 mean just 8 points seperate the top 6. A 15 for Museum of Bellas Artes moves it into the top 10, and both Skyline and Momus reach double figures. Kent isn't far off now either.

11. Viola 'Fleeting World' sent by SKOB. SKOB wanted to better the 14th place of Midlake last time but it's not quite going to plan so far.

SKOB's votes:

01 - Ou Est Le Swimming Pool

02 - Kent

03 - Band of Skulls

04 - Animal Collective

05 - Museum of Bellas Artes

06 - Aloe Blacc

08 - Miami Horror

10 - Peter Murphy

12 - Momus

15 - Stars



10 points for Peter Murphy puts it to the top as it swaps places with Sonoio. 8 more for Miami Horror puts it even closer to the top, whilst a 15 for Stars moves it into the top 10 for the first time. A third consecutive 1 isn't enough to stop Ou Est Le Swimming Pool dropping out of the top 10. Kent are now in double figures and Momus climb well out of the bottom 5 with 12 points.

Posted by: Hitstastic 16th September 2010, 07:28 PM

I'd like to add SKOB to this elusive list too.

Posted by: Tyron 16th September 2010, 07:29 PM

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 07:30 PM

12. Peter Murphy 'All Night Long' sent by Suedehead. Suedehead wanted to do a bit better than he did with Klaus Nomi last time which never looked like getting out of the bottom 5. Currently in the lead, Peter Murphy definitely doing the job!

Suedehead's votes:

01 - Future Islands

02 - Ou Est Le Swimming Pool

03 - Stars

04 - Animal Collective

05 - Ghost Society

06 - Valravn

08 - Chapel Club

10 - Momus

12 - Lake Heartbeat

15 - Wild Nothing



Not voting for any of the top 5 means Peter Murphy keeps the 5 point lead it had at the top, although Wild Nothing break into the top 3 pushing Sonoio out for only the second time. Two top 3 points in a row pushes Momus into the top half and well within reach of the top 5. Ou Est Le Swimming Pool are back in the top 10 with yet more small points.

Posted by: chrisfishlock 16th September 2010, 07:31 PM

Great song choice Suedehead

Posted by: SKOB 16th September 2010, 07:31 PM

Yay my votes really helped Stars

Posted by: M!key 16th September 2010, 07:32 PM

I'm creeping up the leaderboard very slowly with just a few voters, thanks to SKOB for those points.

I think the contest is still wide open, Band Of Skulls just missed out on the points, as I had to dump 5 good tracks.

Posted by: Severin 16th September 2010, 07:32 PM

Pete Murphy (he'll always be Pete in my eyes) is a legend. I hope everybody goes out and buys his and all Bauhaus' albums



Oh and Maxell tapes!

Posted by: Ghosthunter 16th September 2010, 07:34 PM

I can see why you would prefer the other tracks, IDNBY is their most mainstream sounding track. The rest of the album was a little too heavy for my liking.



I had a feeling someone might say that - I can definitely see the link, it's very similar to It's Getting Boring By The Sea and I Wish I Was Someone Better. Both bands are from Brighton also



It's a superb song

Posted by: grebo69 16th September 2010, 07:34 PM

Seeing my track is doing sod all I'm rooting for Mr. Murphy or Band of Skulls

Posted by: M!key 16th September 2010, 07:34 PM

If it wan't for Suedehead I wouldn't have discovered Peter Murphy, great track, I've even charted it in my personal chart.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 07:34 PM

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 07:37 PM

13. Aloe Blacc 'I Need a Dollar' sent by Jonny. You can always trust Jonny to send a good song, and Aloe Blacc is finely poised to give him a second top 10 finish.

Jonny's votes:

01 - Animal Collective

02 - Gang Gang Dance

03 - Ghost Society

04 - Future Islands

05 - Miami Horror

06 - Sloan

08 - Stars

10 - Lake Heartbeat

12 - Wild Nothing

15 - MDNR



Wild Nothing jump into the lead after another 12 points, and Miami Horror push Band of Skulls out of the top 3 for the first time in 8 votes. Another top 3 for Lake Heartbeat pushes it into the top 10, and a 15 for Mdnr more than doubles its points and it clumbs 6 places.

Posted by: M!key 16th September 2010, 07:39 PM

Funny enough I crept up slowly with Diamond Rings, it seems Stars are following suit, it be deja vu if they peak in 4th place again.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 07:41 PM

14. Bear McCreary 'Wander My Friends' sent by Daniel II. Bear McCreary was certainly something different, just like his Globus entry last time, and I did quite like it. Not doing great so far though, with just one set of points.

Daniel's votes:

01 - Telegraphs

02 - Mdnr

03 - Veronica Falls

04 - Ou Est Le Swimming Pool

05 - Sonoio

06 - Gang Gang Dance

08 - Animal Collective

10 - Wild Nothing

12 - Ghost Society

15 - Aloe Blacc



As we reach the half way point Wild Nothing build up a lead of 16 points, the biggest a lead has been so far. A third 15 points moves Aloe Blacc back into the top 10 whilst Ou Est Le Swimming Pool, Ghost Society and Gang Gang Dance close in on the top 10.

Posted by: Thomsen 16th September 2010, 07:42 PM

My entry is doing quite well at the moment..!

Posted by: tonyttt31 16th September 2010, 07:43 PM

So my prediction of Top 5 or Bottom 5 is correct so far.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 07:46 PM

15. Skyline 'Glass Half Full' sent by Tyron. Following up a top 5 with the bottom 5? Poor Tyrone.

Tyron's votes:

01 - Kent

02 - Future Islands

03 - Valravn

04 - Wonder Villains

05 - Stars

06 - Ou Est Le Swimming Pool

08 - Mdnr

10 - Museum of Bellas Artes

12 - Aloe Blacc

15 - Miami Horror



15 & 12 for Miami Horror and Aloe Blacc puts them both into the top 3. Museum of Bellas Artes are almost top 10 again whilst an 8 for Mdnr puts 'I Go Away' in the top half for the first time. A solitary point for Kent means it overtakes Tyron's own entry and puts it second from bottom.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 07:52 PM

16. The Wonder Villains 'Space Jam' sent by Brett-Butler. Brett had a decent finish last time and the Wonder Villains are doing a bit better this time around. I thought it was great, although the vocals at the start are a bit to US Pop for my liking.

Brett's votes:

01 - Stars

02 - Telegraphs

03 - Sloan

04 - Ou Est Le Swimming Pool

05 - Aloe Blacc

06 - Lake Heartbeat

08 - Prototypes

10 - Chapel Club

12 - Museum of Bellas Artes

15 - Momus



With only 10 points awarded to songs in the top 10 it gives the rest a chance to catch up a bit. Museum of Bellas Artes move from 11th to 5th with 12 points, and Momus and Lake Heartbeat close in on the top 10. A 5 for Aloe Blacc puts a bit more distance between the top 3 and the rest. Brett's votes have pushed his own song down 3 places to 12th.

Posted by: tonyttt31 16th September 2010, 07:53 PM

17. Gang Gang Dance 'Egowar' sent by Harve. Harve sent Gang Gang Dance 9 minute song shocker!

Harve's votes:

01 - Lake Heartbeat

02 - Miami Horror

03 - Valravn

04 - Ou Est Le Swimming Pool

05 - Museum of Bellas Artes

06 - Wild Nothing

08 - Peter Murphy

10 - Animal Collective

12 - Stars

15 - Future Islands



The top 3 remain the same but Wild Nothing increase their lead at the top to 7 points. 3rd - 6th is now seperated by just 2 points as Peter Murphy, Stars and Future Islands all score well. After great starts Sonoio and Band of Skulls are starting to fall backwards as they reach their lowest positions yet (8th and 10th). A 10 for Animal Collective sees 'Leaf House' clmib into the top 20, the bottom few are drifting further away now.

Posted by: M!key 16th September 2010, 07:56 PM

The Momus track really struck me as odd and different, not far from peaking inside the top 10.

Posted by: chrisfishlock 16th September 2010, 07:57 PM

nope, you were 3rd worst.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 07:57 PM

180 points to play for. THALIA FTW STILL!

Posted by: Dandy* 16th September 2010, 07:59 PM

I would quite like Thalia to not finish last now.

Posted by: Tyron 16th September 2010, 08:01 PM

Sob.

Posted by: Suedehead2 16th September 2010, 08:04 PM

Thanks I thought I'd see if I could win this time rather than entering something bizarre again.

Peter Murphy used to be a member of Bauhaus who had some modest success in the late 70s / early 80s. I actually didn't know the song until a few weeks ago. I was listening to a Kitchens of Distinction mix on youtube and some of his songs were included. So I got one of his albums and this song seemed the obvious choice.

Posted by: grebo69 16th September 2010, 08:04 PM

Whatever. That Kent track is just too bland. And I've nothing against foreign language tracks.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 08:04 PM

18. Ghost Society 'Under the Sun' sent by Freeze. Another debutant in Freeze now, Ghost Society is doing ok so far.

Freeze's votes:

01 - Mdnr

02 - Museum of Bellas Artes

03 - Animal Collective

04 - Aloe Blacc

05 - Kent

06 - Wonder Villains

08 - Telegraphs

10 - Stars

12 - Lake Heartbeat

15 - Valravn



A 15 for Valravn pushes it further towards the top 10. Stars reach the top 3 for the first time as they climb to 2nd, just 5 points off the leading song. Band of Skulls fall becomes more drastic as three songs overtake it to push it down to 13th, inlcuding Lake Heartbeat which is now very close to the top 5. 8 points for Telegraphs puts it closer to the top 20 and 5 for Kent moves it out of the bottom 5, being replaced by Viola.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 08:04 PM

19. Sonoio 'Not Worth Remembering' sent by Chris. It started so well for Chris but after an excellent start Sonoio is now at the bottom of the top 10. Chris will probably just be hoping it doesn't fall much further.

Chris's votes:

01 - Wonder Villains

02 - Viola

03 - Aloe Blacc

04 - Gang Gang Dance

05 - Momus

06 - Telegraphs

08 - Veronica Falls

10 - Ou Est Le Swimming Pool

12 - Animal Collective

15 - Peter Murphy



With the contest still incredibly close, a 15 for Peter Murphy means 'All Night Long' climbs from 5th to 1st taking back the place Wild Nothing claimed off it 6 votes ago. Ou Est Le Swimming Pool and Animal Collective both make decent climbs, the latter into the top half. Telegraphs move into the top 20 and 8 points for Veronica Falls puts it closer to the top 20.

everyone who liked Sonoio, support the artist, his album is brilliant, buy buy: http://sonoio.org/

Sonoio is better known as Allesandro Cortini, member of excellent band modwheelmood and previously a member of the NIN live act doing synths/keys/a bit of guitar, and he played a few dates as part of Muse's live band last year!

Posted by: Dandy* 16th September 2010, 08:10 PM

I'm not surprised, it's a very poppy track for them. Plus Stars are quite popular among the indie crowd yaknow. I suspect many of the voters who love them may have discounted it for familiarity so it could potentially have been even higher.

Posted by: grebo69 16th September 2010, 08:11 PM

20. Chapel Club 'O Maybe I' sent by Severin. The Penultimate debutant is Severin who's sent the lovely 'O Maybe I', a single from earlier this year. I'd hope it would do better.

Severin's votes:

01 - Stars

02 - Viola

03 - Ghost Society

04 - Lake Heartbeat

05 - Telegraphs

06 - Veronica Falls

08 - Band of Skulls

10 - Peter Murphy

12 - Kent

15 - Valravn



With only 1 point given to the songs in 2nd - 8th, a 10 for Peter Murphy extends its lead at the top to 11 points putting a bit of daylight between itself and the rest of the top 5. A 12 for Kent doesn't move it up any positions but it's now a lot nearer to the top 20, whilst a 2nd 15 points for Valravn puts it in 6th, its highest position yet. Along with Band of Skulls, it overtakes Sonoio moving Chris' song down to 12th, the first time it's not been inside the top 10.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 08:19 PM

21. Wild Nothing 'Chinatown' sent by Thomsen. After a bottom half finish last time Thomsen is doing rather better with Wild Nothing. I was going to send 'Summer Holiday' but I love 'Chinatown' too so was more than happy for you to send it!

Thomsen's votes:

01 - Band of Skulls

02 - Veronica Falls

03 - Sloan

04 - Skyline

05 - Museum of Bellas Artes

06 - Ou Est Le Swimming Pool

08 - Ghost Society

10 - Stars

12 - Lake Heartbeat

15 - Kent



Thomsen's votes push his own song down to third as Stars overtake. Another excellent score for Kent sees them move into the top 20 for the first time in 17 votes as it climbs above 7 songs. Lake Heartbeat is at its highest position of 4, whilst Ou Est Le Swimming Pool continue to float around the 6-12 mark, climbing 3 to 7th.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 08:20 PM

22. Sloan 'The Other Man' sent by West. West did OK in the first Unknown Pleasures but after a decent start Sloan have slipped into the bottom 10. A shame.

West's votes:

01 - Chapel Club

02 - Museum of Bellas Artes

03 - Wild Nothing

04 - Aloe Blacc

05 - Ghost Society

06 - Gang Gang Dance

08 - Momus

10 - Lake Heartbeat

12 - Stars

15 - Ou Est Le Swimming Pool



We almost get our first song to break the 100 point barrier. 12 points for Stars means it's now just a point off as it captures the lead from Peter Murphy. 10 points for Lake Heartbeat push it into the top 3, with Ou Est Le Swimming Pool now only just behind in 4th.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 08:27 PM

23. Lake Heartbeat 'Golden Chain' sent by Nickthenoodle. Caitlin Rose finished in the bottom 3 last time for Nick, safe to say Lake Heartbeat are doing significantly better and he'll be hoping they hang onto their top 3 position.

Nick's votes:

01 - Chapel Club

02 - Motion City Soundtrack

03 - Momus

04 - Telegraphs

05 - Prototypes

06 - Future Islands

08 - Viola

10 - Veronica Falls

12 - Miami Horror

15 - Peter Murphy



A fourth 15 points for Peter Murphy puts it back into the lead and it also becomes the first song to break 100 points, with 107. 5 of the bottom 8 songs got some much needed points, giving them all a better chance of a more respectable mid-table finish. Casey's Miami Horror takes advantage of the songs around it non-scoring by moving back to just three points off the top 3.

Posted by: tonyttt31 16th September 2010, 08:28 PM

24. The Prototypes 'Cascade' sent by Rooney. Rooney is the last person making their Unknown Plasures debut, The Prototypes might not have fared as well as he was hoping but it was quite different to everything else on offer.

Rooney's votes:

01 - Aloe Blacc

02 - Kent

03 - Miami Horror

04 - Ou Est Le Swimming Pool

05 - Telegraphs

06 - Mdnr

08 - Stars

10 - Viola

12 - Wonder Villains

15 - Museum of Bellas Artes



8 for Stars means the lead is tied at the top for the first time, and with just 5 sets of votes to go too! The race for the top 3 is getting closer with 10 points seperating 3rd and 8th. Wonder Villains are now on the verge of entering the top 10 again, whilst at the bottom 10 points for Viola leaves the bottom four songs well adrift. Kent, Mdnr and the Telegraphs get closer to breaking 50 points.

25. Ou Est Le Swimming Pool 'Jackson's Last Stand' sent by Josh. Last time around Josh propped up the table as his song finished bottom. Not discouraged he's entered again and doing a lot better!

Josh's votes:

01 - Lake Heartbeat

02 - Aloe Blacc

03 - Ghost Society

04 - Sloan

05 - Peter Murphy

06 - Skyline

08 - Animal Collective

10 - Miami Horror

12 - Veronica Falls

15 - Future Islands



Peter Murphy regains a lead at the top after scoring 5 whilst Stars score nothing. Miami Horror get 10 to get closer to the top 2 and keep themselves in contention. The rest are falling behind a bit now but there's still a huge battle from 4th to 9th. Animal Collective move into the top half, replacing Sonoio, who started off so strongly and have now fallen right down. It has a 12 point cushion inside the top 20, will it hang on? Further down Veronica Falls take a 4 place jump and Skyline pulls away from the bottom 3.

26. Momus 'The Hairstyle of the Devil' sent by Hitstastic. After sending that 'Britney' abomination last time Hits wanted to better this time out, and he has with his song which sounds like the Pet Shop Boys (or does it? Mikey doesn't seem to know!)

Hitstastic's votes:

01 - Stars

02 - Ou Est Le Swimming Pool

03 - Lake Heartbeat

04 - Wonder Villains

05 - Prototypes

06 - Miami Horror

08 - Thalia

10 - Aloe Blacc

12 - Band of Skulls

15 - Kent



Nothing for Peter Murphy a few points given to the songs directly below, only 7 points seperate the top 3 now and there are 6 songs below with an outside chance. Band of Skulls re-enter the top 10 (yay!) as I aim to be one of 5 people to finish in the top 10 in both contest, joining Casey, Medicated Soap, Mikey and Jonny. A second 15 for Kent should assure it of a top 20 finish, whilst Thalia gets 8 points at the bottom!

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 08:42 PM

THALIA FOR 25TH!

Posted by: M!key 16th September 2010, 08:42 PM

I'm going to finish 4th again

Posted by: M!key 16th September 2010, 08:44 PM

Thalia got 8 points from Hits

"shudders"

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 08:45 PM

OMG THREE LEFT

Posted by: Tyron 16th September 2010, 08:46 PM

OMG?

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 08:46 PM

27. Valravn 'Kelling' sent by Pavel (Parker). Pavel is doing somewhat better than last time and is in contention for a top 10 finish, but his votes could hinder those chances.

Pavel's votes:

01 - Veronica Falls

02 - Telegraphs

03 - Alloe Blacc

04 - Stars

05 - Museum of Bellas Artes

06 - Wild Nothing

08 - Bear McCreary

10 - Future Islands

12 - Miami Horror

15 - Kent



MIAMI HORROR TAKE THE LEAD! It's still wide open though with just 5 points splitting the top 3. The songs in 3rd to 9th can also theoretically win but it seems unlikely the winner would come from that group. Kent get a second consecutive 15 (what ever was Tony worried about?!) to join Band of Skulls in =10th in what looks like a four track race for the final position. Telegraphs edge past 50 points (can 20 songs make that milestone?) and Bear McCreary gets a further 8 points putting Motion City Soundtrack into the bottom 2.

Posted by: chrisfishlock 16th September 2010, 08:46 PM

sonoio for 1st

Posted by: Daniel II 16th September 2010, 08:47 PM

I WANNA SET YOU ON FIRE SO I WON'T HAVE TO BURN ALONE.

Posted by: Hitstastic 16th September 2010, 08:47 PM

Can someone now please inform me why Thalia is so hated? It wasn't "indie" but for what it was it sounded like a decent enough pop track.

Besides, my top 3 are well clear - I almost gave Band Of Seagulls my 15 (it reminds me of a track The White Stripes would record).

Posted by: Tyron 16th September 2010, 08:47 PM

YES

Posted by: Tyron 16th September 2010, 08:48 PM

Posted by: Parker 16th September 2010, 08:48 PM

Posted by: Daniel II 16th September 2010, 08:48 PM

I'll settle for 27th place

Posted by: tonyttt31 16th September 2010, 08:49 PM

Wow....such a surge by Kent!

All you indie heads should really have loved it to bits.

Posted by: M!key 16th September 2010, 08:50 PM

Your track was a dead giveaway, I saw it in your personal chart

Posted by: Thomsen 16th September 2010, 08:51 PM

Yeah, bit strange since I Need A Dollar is nowhere near indie.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 08:51 PM

28. Veronica Falls 'Beachy Head' sent by Grebo69. 13th last time with Gauntlet Hair, Grebo hasn't quite done as well this time but can still get another top 20. Again though, his own votes could shorten his chances.

Grebo's votes:

01 - Wild Nothing

02 - Telegraphs

03 - Lake Heartbeat

04 - Stars

05 - Peter Murphy

06 - Chapel Club

08 - Ou Est Le Swimming Pool

10 - Band of Skulls

12 - Ghost Society

15 - Valravn



Oh Grebo you tease! 3 songs, 1 point! IT'S ALL DOWN TO DANDY NOW! The rest are now out of it but Ou Est Le Swimming Pool reach 100 points and lead the race for 4th. Band of Skulls and Valravn could both finish in the top 10 now after high points. Ghost Society move into the top half. I know I've got the positions wrong a bit there but I can't be bothered to fix them!

Posted by: Daniel II 16th September 2010, 08:51 PM

Also, I got forgot to thank Pavel for the 8 points, much appreicated.

Posted by: Parker 16th September 2010, 08:52 PM

That is because i couldn't be arsed to hide it again this time.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 08:55 PM

15 POINTS



Goes to.....









KENT


A 4th 15, and all in the last few votes!




12 POINTS






is awarded to.....






WILD NOTHING




10 POINTS











FUTURE ISLANDS




Let's see what effect that has!




So no votes for the top 3 so far, but Future Islands and Wild Nothing storm into the top 5, the former now guarenteed at least 5th place. Following on from his 2nd place in UP1, good job Ben! Yet ANOTHER 15 for Kent puts them into 10th, can it stay there or will Dandy be voting for Band of Skulls or Valravn?

Posted by: Parker 16th September 2010, 08:56 PM

and 2 of my top 3 in the Top 2!!!!

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 08:57 PM

8 POINTS



GANG GANG DANCE





6 POINTS



VIOLA


5 POINTS




VERONICA FALLS



4 POINTS




ALOE BLACC




1 to Stars, nothing for the other 2 anyone?!


Jonny doesn't quite reach 100 points with the rather wonderful 'I Need a Dollar' but 99 points and 7th is still great. Thomsen is now guarenteed a top 5 finish and Kent finishes in the top 10 for Tony after spending most of the time near the bottom. Gang Gang Dance pass 50 points and Sonoio are now 18th (poor Chris, it started so well ). Viola overtake Sloan, but can 'The Other Man' retake a place outside of the bottom 5?!


The question is though, has Dandy actually voted for ANY of the top 3?!

I loved your track Tony, it was a real discovery for me.

The Future Islands and Wild Nothing tracks are also excellent but I already owned them so thought I'd give the 15 to the new discovery for me.


Well done Mikey, Stars win again!



My track was a complete fail really, glad Jonny liked it though even if nobody else particularly did. Jonny and I often seem to exchange decent marks in this competition.

Posted by: Harve 16th September 2010, 09:30 PM

The Moopyness of this thread is just ALIENATING.
I'd also just like to point out that i do like songs less than 8 minutes long, i swear .
The top 12 were amazing, and the scoreboard is quite clearly in the right order more or less. I mean, the bottom 2 songs w.e which is normally not the case in BJSC. WOO

btw, In The Fall is so gorgeous and creepy and the same time <3

Posted by: Dandy* 16th September 2010, 09:30 PM

I feel bad too as only my top 7 were actually real standout tracks for me, there were about 10 tracks in contention for the bottom 3 spots and it really could have gone any way.

Is this really a Moopesque thread? In what way?

Posted by: Harve 16th September 2010, 09:35 PM

I KNOW. BUT I HATE HOW I HAVE TO REGISTER TO VIEW THREADS NOW SO I HAVE TO STALK&LOL PUBLICLY.

the caps lock overuse does get me just SLIGHTLY though.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th September 2010, 09:36 PM

I think he means that the song is from the same genre.

Posted by: Dandy* 16th September 2010, 09:37 PM

I thought they were getting rid of the registering to view threads thing?

Posted by: Harve 16th September 2010, 09:44 PM

I just mean with the emoticons and the caps, its nice really <3


Oh really? Obviously not yet

Posted by: Jonny 16th September 2010, 09:58 PM

In all fairness Dandy your song was by far and away the best, ahead of a pretty poor group in all honesty. Thanks everyone for the votes. (:

Posted by: Nick F1 17th September 2010, 12:05 AM

I wanted to sent somethin' this time but I couldn't found somethin' special. Will sent next time.
Thanks Josh for putting OELSP

@ Thalia.

Posted by: Casey__ 17th September 2010, 12:33 AM

SO CLOSE! Happy with 2nd though !


Thanks everyone who voted for Miami Horror, and thanks Mark for running this again


Gang Gang Dance should have been so much higher

Posted by: West 17th September 2010, 01:38 AM

Congrats M!key for winning UPII!

Fixed is an awesome track and definitely worthy of winning this.

I'm pretty sure he found this gem on my personal chart

I did out right awful with my song. But I still stand by my decision to enter it. The Other Man was released in 2001 and has remained a favourite of mine over the years. It still packs the punch it had when I first heard it. Thanks to those who voted for it

Posted by: shakilover 17th September 2010, 03:49 AM

Lol at all the Thalia chatter. Thanks Hitstastic and Nick for recognizing latin pop brilliance when you see it. It was such a last minute choice and couldn't decide if one of her spanish songs would do better haha.

I probably should have chosen this classic from her Diamond selling latest album. But i didn't know how a spanish song would fare.


While I liked less songs this time around the songs I did like I like way more!

Posted by: Medicated Soap 17th September 2010, 03:52 AM

i'm really glad you luved it~
one of my favorite songs of the year <3


they're from my city, seen 'em live twice and met the singer. great people.

Posted by: ChapStick 17th September 2010, 11:50 AM

Lack of love for the leaf house.

Posted by: shakilover 17th September 2010, 03:19 PM

It barely missed my top 10

Posted by: Suedehead2 17th September 2010, 04:07 PM

It got points from me

Posted by: M!key 17th September 2010, 08:49 PM

I found a cracker for UPIII

Posted by: Dandy* 17th September 2010, 09:12 PM

Kings Of Leon?

Posted by: M!key 17th September 2010, 10:02 PM

Not close enough

Posted by: ▲▲▲ 17th September 2010, 11:44 PM

Snigger.

Posted by: tonyttt31 18th September 2010, 06:46 AM

I too have found one but I'm thinking of searching for one that sounds like the two that have won so far.

Posted by: Hitstastic 18th September 2010, 08:52 AM

I fully expect everyone to enter a song with a female vocalist for UPIII. It's certainly not the ChC way!!!

Posted by: tonyttt31 18th September 2010, 10:17 AM

*sits back and thinks of ChC*

Posted by: Dandy* 18th September 2010, 11:59 AM

I imagine Ryan still has a list of the ones that won over on ChC, I think quite a few were female led weren't they? Stars definitely won there as well as here.


Off the top of my head I can remember Goose, PNAU (naturally!), Stars, Alex Gopher and Digitalism winning.

Posted by: Hitstastic 18th September 2010, 12:05 PM

ChC was more electro synth indie friendly. Buzzjack seems to be female vocal led guitar indie friendly. I hope the next winner isn't in the same vein as the last 2 winners. The ChC UP winners just seemed more diverse, imo.

Posted by: grebo69 18th September 2010, 12:19 PM

I think the next one will be very interesting with regards to song choices. I am torn metween a male vocal and a female vocal.

Anyone know when the next one will be? How often were they held on ChC?

Posted by: ChapStick 18th September 2010, 03:37 PM

I'm gonna try and make this question not to confusing but say a band doesn't qualify for this used to play under a different name/ had a clomplete different sound before going mainstream would these earlier songs be eligable for entry?

Posted by: tonyttt31 18th September 2010, 03:56 PM

Like an Ultravox song before the change?

Posted by: SKOB 18th September 2010, 05:01 PM

I have many great candidates in mind...This contest is bound to get better and better

Posted by: ChapStick 18th September 2010, 05:50 PM

I wouldn't know haha ! From what i listen to though i was thinking like when mgmt used to be called the management and did nerdy synth songs on apple macs or like when billy talent used to be called pezz and did rock/rap very similar to Rage against the machine, completly different to how they are know these days.

Posted by: ▲▲▲ 18th September 2010, 05:58 PM

The Faint - Desperate Guys
Digitalism - Pogo (Me)
Stars - Going Going Going (Me)
Alex Gopher - Brain Leech
Eisley - Invasion (Sean)
Andrea Corr - Take Me, I'm Yours (Sean)
PNAU - Embrace (Feat. Ladyhawke) (Dandy)
Chad Vangaalen - TMNT Mask (Rob sent this I think?)

Goose won also. I cannot remember which song or who...

Edit: Natalie Portman's Shaved Head - Sophisticated Side Ponytail won the last one. I think. We all know what happened with that one... Haha.

Posted by: M!key 18th September 2010, 05:58 PM

What I got lined up is very different, from the last 2 winners anyway mind you it needs to be played loud to get its full effect without giving too much away, I found Stars "Fixed" through West's personal chart, I really liked it and viola the rest is history. You do find some gems by looking at members personal charts, Dr. Blind and Dandy's personal charts I occasionally browse through and you tube some of the unknown acts that I don't know. On the back of Dr. Blind's personal chart I was introduce to Bat For Lashes and The Pains.

Posted by: ▲▲▲ 18th September 2010, 06:03 PM

I'm getting songs mixed up. Who entered Natalie Portman's Shaved Head?

Posted by: Dandy* 18th September 2010, 06:15 PM

No idea who entered Natalie Portman's Shaved Head. Goose definitely won the first one with Black Gloves as I entered it.

Streb sent Alex Gopher didn't he?

Posted by: ▲▲▲ 18th September 2010, 06:22 PM

Haha. Yes! I always got those two mixed up.

Posted by: Tyron 18th September 2010, 06:23 PM

NATALIE PORTMAN'S SHAVED HEAD What a blast from the past.

Stars - Going Going Going is horrifically overrated

Posted by: ▲▲▲ 18th September 2010, 06:23 PM

Natalie Portman's Shaved Head was either Mark or Ben. I have no idea how Andrea Corr won. :|

Posted by: ▲▲▲ 18th September 2010, 06:24 PM

WASH YOUR MOUTH OOT. They'll never top it.

Posted by: Dandy* 18th September 2010, 06:45 PM

Did Andrea Corr really win? I don't recall that at all...

Shame on ChC.

Posted by: gooddelta 18th September 2010, 06:59 PM

I won the final one with Robots In Love by Beautiful Small Machines (which was female led). The only other time I came top ten on there was with a Hot Puppies song which came 8th iirc.

Posted by: gooddelta 18th September 2010, 07:02 PM

I don't recall Andrea Corr winning either come to think of it It's one of the worst songs on her solo album

Posted by: Hitstastic 18th September 2010, 07:12 PM

My best performance was also in the last one when I entered Sally Shapiro (was beaten by Beautiful Small Machines). Also finished top 5 iirc with tracks by Darude and Beck.

Posted by: Dandy* 18th September 2010, 07:15 PM

Sally Shapiro


edit: it gave away my entry for UPIII!

Posted by: ▲▲▲ 18th September 2010, 09:05 PM

Was that after I left? I don't remember that.

Andrea Corr won the Unknown Pleasures: Covers competition. Streb wanted to do something different. Who won the language one?

Posted by: Tyron 18th September 2010, 09:25 PM

Didn't you enter Mine All Mine at one point Rich?

Posted by: Hitstastic 18th September 2010, 10:21 PM

The final UP was after you left - only a couple of months before ChC's abrupt end. Can't remember if it was Mark or dmlaw who hosted it though.

Posted by: Medicated Soap 18th September 2010, 11:11 PM

pretty shure i was natalie portman's shaved head

Posted by: ▲▲▲ 19th September 2010, 01:50 AM

I've always found it quite remarkable how terrible ChC got towards the end. I'm surprised it didn't die sooner than it did. When did everything actually close?

Posted by: Brett-Butler 19th September 2010, 02:33 AM

There was a 3 day wobble in November 2009, then it closed for good in December.

Posted by: gooddelta 19th September 2010, 06:49 AM

I sent that to the one where the results were never revealed, perhaps in Dec 2008 or thereabouts? I think Thom later revealed that it had either won or come top 3 or something but I can't remember. I recall him putting it quite high in his personal chart anyway

Posted by: tonyttt31 19th September 2010, 07:18 AM

I didn't mean that the victory was the same, points wise. What I meant was that the songs dont sound a million miles apart. Vague indie pop with slightly off-kilter, treble-heavy female vocals. But that's just my ears. To others they probably sound completely different.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 19th September 2010, 07:44 AM

I've no idea when I'll do the next one, it depends on when I have assignments and stuff due. There will probably be about a similar gap though, maybe end of Oct / beginning of Nov?

Posted by: tonyttt31 19th September 2010, 08:05 AM

That's soon enough.

BTW - I didn't come 11th in UP1 did I?

Posted by: grebo69 19th September 2010, 09:36 AM

That's cool. Plenty of time to decide on my entry.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 19th September 2010, 09:55 AM

Apologies for not being able to make or vote in this one - I will hopefully be around for III.

Congratulations to Mikey!

Posted by: Hitstastic 19th September 2010, 12:21 PM

There was just so much going on "backstage" between Thom and zigs I'm not at all surprised it ended - it was more a case of wishing it hadn't come to that situation. Me and Dandy were practically running ChC the best way we could in the end. Dandy even contacted Invision to make payment but because it was on zigs name, they wouldn't accept.

Posted by: Ghosthunter 19th September 2010, 03:46 PM

I did that one. I knew Rich won it but I couldn't remember what song it was . I think the best I ever did in ChC's UP was second or third with Shiny Toy Guns

Posted by: chrisfishlock 18th October 2010, 05:20 PM

When can we expect the next UP?

Posted by: tonyttt31 2nd November 2010, 01:57 PM

????

I have my next track ready. I think.

Posted by: grebo69 2nd November 2010, 04:30 PM

Mine changes on a daily basis.

Really looking forward to UPIII after not exactly lighting up BJUSC. But then I didn't like any of the songs that much (not even my own song was that great and deserved where it came.)

Posted by: Chris. 2nd November 2010, 04:36 PM

UP>>>BJUSC, mainly cos of the differnt types of people they both attract, im always gonns pefer the music in UP and not really like the BJUSC music.

i have like a billion song ideas for UPIII

Posted by: Ljósið 2nd November 2010, 04:40 PM

I'm waiting whatever contest starts first (UP III or BJUSC XXX) so that the song i'm digging atm will not be wasted <3

I know why you felt that way about BJUSC Grebo - a big number of good 'indie' countries left.

Posted by: tonyttt31 2nd November 2010, 04:52 PM

I never go near the BJSC

Posted by: Suedehead2 2nd November 2010, 05:51 PM

At an average of three minutes per song then, assuming you've heard them all at least once, that makes you over 57,000 years old

Posted by: Tyron 2nd November 2010, 05:59 PM

I've got a really good idea for what to send to the next UP

Posted by: Chris. 2nd November 2010, 06:00 PM

Posted by: grebo69 2nd November 2010, 07:12 PM

I'll probably still give it another go though, but I guess my heart lies with UP.

Posted by: zechhh 2nd November 2010, 07:19 PM

Do I have to do anything to take part in this besides send the host a song when the next UP starts?

Posted by: Thomsen 3rd November 2010, 12:54 AM

I've had my entry almost since last UPII but did a rookie mistake. Been listening to the song too much since then and now i've got plenty of candidates. Argh!

Can't.decide.my.entry.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 3rd November 2010, 09:50 AM

Tomorrow it'll have been 7 weeks since the results so it's probably time for another one. I've not got any assignments due in until December so if I can get this done within a fortnight that would be great, I'll struggle to do one if I start it any later....

BTW, is anyone bothered that it's the same host all the time?

Posted by: Doctor Blind 3rd November 2010, 09:55 AM

YAY. I missed the last one so been looking forward to this.

Nah.

Posted by: Ljósið 3rd November 2010, 09:59 AM

Well, if you don't want to step back for the next one, i guess there's no need. However it could be interesting to have a new host once in a while.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 3rd November 2010, 10:01 AM

I was only planning to do 3 (maybe 4 as I'll be free in January) before letting someone else do it. I enjoy doing it and feel I'm quite good at it....

Posted by: tonyttt31 3rd November 2010, 10:52 AM

I think you are excellent at it - go ahead and do this one, I say. We're not bored of you yet.

Posted by: Hitstastic 4th November 2010, 07:50 PM

You're definitely great at hosting this. If it ain't broke...



Poor Mark.

Posted by: grebo69 4th November 2010, 08:11 PM

I think you do an amazing job at hosting it and if you do enjoy it...

Posted by: Chris. 4th November 2010, 08:21 PM

theres no need for a differnt host imo unless Mark doesnt have the time. it's good to have it spaced out aswell so were not rushing into the next one straight after, gives more time and thought for the tracks.

Posted by: grebo69 4th November 2010, 10:09 PM

Totally agree there.
