Starting in about 10 minutes!

Best of luck, everyone!

Posted by: SKOB 13th January 2011, 07:48 PM

I have a feeling my favourite might win this
My own entry won't

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 07:57 PM

Kicking off then!





Last time I gave myself the deciding vote, this time I have the opening one. I've got progressively worse results so far but have sent a song which people have tipped to win, I will stress that I didn't know it was to be released! Paris Angels, Strange Talk and Glasser take the top marks, whilst four points means the much maligned Swing Kids won't end up with nothing!

Posted by: Dandy* 13th January 2011, 08:03 PM

I did NOT have you down for Grouplove!

Posted by: Mart!n 13th January 2011, 08:03 PM

Well I pretty much guessed who Grouplove belong to, I was right on the button I saw it on Mark's personal chart at Haven, Ha

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 08:04 PM

No?! It's been in my personal chart for about 4 weeks now, although I didn't post it this week for that reason.........


-----------





Dandy got his first top 10 finish last time around with Cicada and will be looking to improve again this time and got off to a good start as I gave 15 to Strange Talk. It naturally drops out of the top 3 though as Paris Angels increase in the lead, and Glasser get a second high set of points. Five songs pick up their first votes.

Posted by: Chris. 13th January 2011, 08:04 PM

I quite liked the Grouplove track, it's not that memorable, but was good enough to go on my ipod and came on shuffle earlier and I remembered what a great track it is. now I can't remember again.

Posted by: Dandy* 13th January 2011, 08:05 PM

Young Galaxy was just

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 08:05 PM

This is pretty much how I felt about it. It took at least five listens before I properly started to enjoy it, which means it's probably not the ideal track to send and why I didn't think it would do overly well.

Posted by: SKOB 13th January 2011, 08:05 PM

Wow Points for my track

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 08:07 PM

Shakilover's previous entries haven't been great successes coming 3rd bottom and dead last, he'll be hoping that French songstress Mylene Farmer will get a decent result finally. His votes wildly contrast the previous two sets as all bar 4 tracks now have points. Paris Angels stay at the top but a 3 for Glasser closes the gap.

Posted by: Mart!n 13th January 2011, 08:08 PM

Ooh points for my track already, nice.

Posted by: Chris. 13th January 2011, 08:10 PM

yeah i was looking at my votes before submitting and thinking "why have i put this grouplove song above these" and changing it about, then listening to it again and realising it's a great track and moving it back up.

Posted by: Nick F1 13th January 2011, 08:10 PM

Already 2x points, i'm surprised!

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 08:11 PM

Tony's had remarkably consistant results so far with finishes in 10th, 11th and 12th. Sissel has yet to pick up a point but he's started slowly before, most notably with Kent which went on to finish 10th. 2 points for Paris Angels mean it stays at the top by a point, it's tight at the top however as Tony's 20 pointer Magenta Skycode are 5 points behind in 7th. An 8 for Not Squares sees just three songs left to score.

Posted by: Hitstastic 13th January 2011, 08:12 PM

This is why I left it so late to vote. On first listen, very few songs made an instant impression. By giving myself enough time to listen to all the songs, I was able to judge them better. My tastes are commercial enough as it is, so I wouldn't be surprised if my entry didn't do well as it's not really "indie".

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 08:14 PM

Ghosthunter is up next with Anika Moa which has had a good start. Paris Angels drop out of the top 3 replaced by Glasser, Fenech-Soler and 20 pointer Iamamiwhoami. 15 and 12 for Krause and Eve and the Heartmaker see them both rise into the top 10, whilst the bottom three cut further adrift as everything else now has at least 7 points.

Posted by: Chris. 13th January 2011, 08:16 PM

I wouldnt be surprised if Iamamiwhoami won.

Posted by: Mart!n 13th January 2011, 08:18 PM

I wouldn't be surprised if Grouplove will finish higher, slow burners tend to finish higher.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 08:18 PM

Freeze is up next with Frost (I see what you've done there!). Points for Glasser and Fenech-Soler see them stay in the top two whilst Anathema joins them following 12 points. Awolnation's first points come in the form of a top vote pushing it into the top half. A second consecutive 15 for Krause see them jump to 6th, each to their own....

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 08:19 PM

Are you trying to say that I've done well but am making it look like I haven't?

Posted by: Dandy* 13th January 2011, 08:19 PM

I knew this was going to happen! As soon as I did okay in the first ones I thought it would be all downhill from here on in!

Posted by: SKOB 13th January 2011, 08:19 PM

Very pleased for Anathema. They're so underrated in the UK but have loyal fanbase here

Posted by: Tyron 13th January 2011, 08:20 PM

Who ever heard of such a thing?!

Posted by: Chris. 13th January 2011, 08:20 PM

how do Krause have 34 points already. some people worry me.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 08:23 PM

I could've chosen the next set of votes to be one which put them in the lead. But I didn't want to do that.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 08:23 PM

Ever present Pavel up next, looking for a first top 10 finish with Young Galaxy. A second 20 in a row sees Awolnation in the top 5. Glasser remain at the top extending their lead by 2, decent points for Iamamiwhoami and Fenech-Soler see them in the top 3. All songs now have points as Sissel picks up 12 and Grouplove get 3 leaving them at the bottom.

Posted by: Hitstastic 13th January 2011, 08:24 PM

Only if Krause win will I be worried (as I posted in the other thread, the first 15 seconds are excellent - it's just the remaining 2+ minutes that are horrendous).

Posted by: SKOB 13th January 2011, 08:26 PM

How can Grouplove have only 3 points so far?

Posted by: Chris. 13th January 2011, 08:26 PM

I just don't understand at all how anyone could enjoy it, let alone consider it music.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 08:27 PM

Hits is up next, his results have got better each time peaking with #11 last time out, another entrant who'll be looking for their first top 10 and has made a decent start in mid-table. A 15 for Fenech-Soler sees the lead change hands and top marks for Strange Talk see Dandy's entry on the cusp of the top 3. A top 3 for Grouplove puts it into the top 20 leaving The Creepshow and Immortal Technique as the only songs not to reach double figures.

Posted by: Brett-Butler 13th January 2011, 08:27 PM

Because the people taking part who are more likely to enjoy it haven't had their votes counted yet.

Posted by: Suedehead2 13th January 2011, 08:28 PM

I thought Sissel had a lovely voice - or the singer did if it's the name of a band. I just found the song itself a little soporific.

Posted by: Dandy* 13th January 2011, 08:29 PM

Hits!

I've ALWAYS said you have excellent taste.

Posted by: Hitstastic 13th January 2011, 08:29 PM

Probably because it's not an instant song. It was the biggest grower for me - if I'd voted based on listening to each song once, Grouplove would've been taken out of consideration right away.

Posted by: Brett-Butler 13th January 2011, 08:29 PM

When I noticed the song was on a chill-out compilation, I was expecting something along the lines on Chicane. I was wrong, and therefore slightly disappointed.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 08:32 PM

West is up next, someone else whose results have got worse so far. Finishing 2nd last last time means it's unlikely to get worse again though, especially as his entry has already picked up 40 points and is safe in the top 10. A 15 for Strange Talk see it level at the top with Fenech-Soler as Glasser drop to third. After a good start Paris Angels are now hanging on to a top half spot, whilst top 3 points for both Colder and Grouplove see them move towards the top 10.

Posted by: West 13th January 2011, 08:35 PM

I'm glad to see I won't be 2nd last this time!

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 08:38 PM

Second time entrant Zechhh will be hoping for another finish as good as the 9th he got last time, which is the position his votes push his entry, Anathema, down to. Another top 3 for Grouplove puts it up to 4th (what ever was I worried about?!), as Fenech-Soler retakes the lead. Top marks for Immortal Technique pushes the Peruvian/US rapper into the top half, whilst 10 for El Guincho lifts it 4 places off the bottom leaving Ultramariini there, a song which has only picked up one set of votes, in the second set from Dandy.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 08:39 PM

Oh bollocks, I appear to have accidentally deleted my links and commentry to vote #10!

Here they are anyway.

Posted by: Mart!n 13th January 2011, 08:40 PM

I didn't see anything special with Immortal Technique.

Posted by: Chris. 13th January 2011, 08:41 PM

I really liked the Awolnation track, the vocals reminded me of Tom Gabel from Against Me! but in a great electro track.

Posted by: Illuminato 13th January 2011, 08:42 PM

From 8th tro 6th without a point received!

Posted by: Dandy* 13th January 2011, 08:42 PM

Wooo, I was briefly on top for the second contest in a row... even if I don't get anything in votes 11, I was just sat there trying to work out how I'd gone up by 6 without scoring!

Posted by: Brett-Butler 13th January 2011, 08:43 PM

No worries, I'll just use my imagination.

Posted by: Harve 13th January 2011, 08:43 PM

I think i could be doing so much better if i entered a different track from my artist's album...

Posted by: Illuminato 13th January 2011, 08:44 PM

lol i see now

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 08:44 PM

They're the wrong way around as I missed Brett-Butler's votes. It's gone from 6th to 8th.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 08:45 PM

Suedehead's entry started well and was leading for a few votes but has now almost dropped out of the top 20. A 15 for Strange Talk puts it back into the lead as Grouplove climb into the top 3, Magenta Skycode top 5 and Not Squares top 10. Votes for all of the bottom four songs mean it's now a lot closer at the bottom, although Ultramariini still prop up the rest.

Posted by: West 13th January 2011, 08:45 PM

I fell in love with the track the 1st time I heard it. It's amazing.

Posted by: Severin 13th January 2011, 08:46 PM

Paris Angels just HAD to be Suedehead. It was the only one I knew whos it would be right away

Posted by: Brett-Butler 13th January 2011, 08:47 PM

I'll enjoy the top 10 whilst I can. It's a nice feeling.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 08:47 PM

I said something about you being another one who looks like improving from 29th last time by quite a lot, but then accidentally 'cut' two things.

Posted by: Chris. 13th January 2011, 08:47 PM

yeah i'm definatly going to check out the EP it's from, thought it was a fairly unique track.

Posted by: Dandy* 13th January 2011, 08:48 PM

Paris Angels was a decent track, well chosen Mr Suedehead.

Posted by: Suedehead2 13th January 2011, 08:50 PM

I thought that was yours

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 08:50 PM

Grebo has the vote at the midpoint of the competition, and nothing for either of the top 2 means there's a lot of closing from Grouplove, Iamamiwhoami and Glasser. Paris Angels are back towards the top half and The Creepshow are at their higest position yet.

Posted by: Illuminato 13th January 2011, 08:50 PM

did that straight away. the innrpartysystem remix of 'burn it down' is fantastic.

Posted by: Chris. 13th January 2011, 08:52 PM

yeah i love innerpartysystem's remixes, so i'll look forward to hearing that.

Posted by: Suedehead2 13th January 2011, 08:53 PM

Nothing like a bit of early nineties, pre-Suede, indie. The only time I saw them they were supported by a band called Laverne and Shirley who were one of the worst bands I've ever seen. Their "drum kit" consisted of an upturned biscuit tin which fell off the stand part way through. I kid you not.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 08:55 PM

Tom Kay next, looking to follow up and impressive top 10 debut last time out with Frida. Not a bad start as Eva is just a couple of places off the top 10. A 15 for Strange Talk sees it extend its lead to 16 points and it's now just one off being the first song to reach 100 points. Fenech-Soler is back in the top 3, Paris Angels into the top 10 and 20 points for Ultramariini lift it from the bottom into the top 20, leaving Autre Ne Veut in last.

Posted by: Tom Hello Kay 13th January 2011, 08:56 PM

Damn I wish I had been around (ie old enough to enjoy stuff) in the late 80s/early 90s... I really liked Paris Angels, and one of my favourite discoveries of the last contest was Goodbye Horses

Edit: Of course, that's a bit obvious now...

Posted by: Severin 13th January 2011, 08:56 PM

Brilliant. You just don't get that kind of genius amateurism these days

Posted by: grebo69 13th January 2011, 08:57 PM

Glad to see I am above that dreck Krause. I will be soooo disappointed if Colder finish below that.

Posted by: Brett-Butler 13th January 2011, 08:58 PM

I almost gave it points, but in the end it reminded me too much of Utah Saints.

Posted by: Severin 13th January 2011, 08:58 PM

And that's a bad thing?

Posted by: shakilover 13th January 2011, 09:00 PM

Hoping I can break the top 20!

Posted by: Brett-Butler 13th January 2011, 09:00 PM

I've tried searching for Laverne & Shirley on YouTube, but so far all I've come up is the TV show. For everyone's sake, I assume that they never reached the stage of getting a record deal?

Posted by: Brett-Butler 13th January 2011, 09:01 PM

Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. Something Good '08 is, much of their 1st album isn't.

Posted by: Tom Hello Kay 13th January 2011, 09:02 PM

If Semi Precious Weapons can, why not? Then again I guess that they weren't friends with the Lady Gaga of the time. I guess that was Paula Abdul?

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 09:03 PM

First time competitor Titty is next, and points to 9 of the top 10 see them pull away from the rest. Strange Talk's lead increases slightly over Grouplove and Fenech-Soler, Magenta Skycode move into the top 5 and Paris Angels are moving back towards where they started. 12 for Gallops move it from second bottom to within a point of the top 20.

Posted by: Suedehead2 13th January 2011, 09:06 PM

I don't think they did, thankfully.

And Paris Angels slightly predate Utah Saints

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 09:10 PM

Thomsen is up next, following up a 3rd place last time well, as Magenta Skycode currently sits in 5th. Strange Talk are a full vote ahead of second now as Grouplove climb back above Fenech-Soler and it becomes the second song to hit the 100 point barrier. A 20 for Young Galaxy sees it climb into the top 5 and El Guincho gets a much needed lift at the bottom.

Posted by: Thomsen 13th January 2011, 09:11 PM

I Love Tony. He always seems to like my entries!

Cover Your Tracks is amazing and should be top 3 at least.

Posted by: SKOB 13th January 2011, 09:13 PM

Magenta Skycode...what a great band! Thomsen, have you heard their new album?

Posted by: Thomsen 13th January 2011, 09:16 PM

I loved IIII. Haven't heard that much of Relief though. Any good?

Edit: Wait! Simple Pleasures is on Relief! Great song!

Posted by: Illuminato 13th January 2011, 09:16 PM

Thanks

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 09:17 PM

SKOB up next, whose Ultramariini has recovered from a slow start with a couple of high pointers. 15 for Grouplove sees the lead halved, whilst Fenech-Soler and Young Galaxy pass 100 points, with the latter really starting to close in on the top 3. Another set of votes giving points to a lot of the top 10, the songs towards the top 5 continue to pull away.

Posted by: SKOB 13th January 2011, 09:18 PM

I'd say they are pretty even quality-wise. Critics love them here and Relief was one of the most acclaimed album of 2010.

Posted by: SKOB 13th January 2011, 09:19 PM

I'm amazed that Ultramariini have got those high marks actually

Posted by: Illuminato 13th January 2011, 09:19 PM

OMFG thnx SKOB too

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 09:21 PM

With only one of the top 7 recieving any points, that song can benefit rather a lot and Grouplove do by climbing to above Strange Talk to the top (Hurrah! ), 15 from Colder sees it move into the top 10, and full marks see Krause back into the top half. 10 for Swing Kids see Ultra Ne Veut rooted to the bottom.

Posted by: SKOB 13th January 2011, 09:23 PM

EDIT LOL I misread

Posted by: Chris. 13th January 2011, 09:24 PM

Had a feeling The Creepshow was Severin's entry.

but wtf with his 20 pointer.

Posted by: Brett-Butler 13th January 2011, 09:25 PM

I'm wondering if Not Squares' rather decent performance has anything to do with the video that accompnied it? I know that my last entry didn't have a music video, did it end up influencing anyone.

Posted by: Severin 13th January 2011, 09:27 PM

on both counts. Krause actually reminded me of someone I know plus I actually hought it was catchy

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 09:27 PM

Chris has finished in a slightly lower position every time so far, and Gallops look like they might continue that run down as they fall to 24th . Grouplove's lead is extended to 10 points and Young Galaxy take Fenech-Soler's position in the top 3. Awolnation are back in the top 10 and Immortal Technique climbs back to just outside the top half.

Posted by: Severin 13th January 2011, 09:28 PM

Didn't influence me as I never watch the videos

Posted by: Illuminato 13th January 2011, 09:29 PM

Back to the Top 3!

Posted by: Chris. 13th January 2011, 09:29 PM

I have a feeling people were put off by the lack of vocals in my track.

oh and mine and zechh's top 5's were very similar. freaky.

Posted by: Suedehead2 13th January 2011, 09:30 PM

So is swine flu

Posted by: Dandy* 13th January 2011, 09:31 PM

I really liked the track Chris, it was one of the few that made it to my ipod.

Tssssssk at that pesky RabbitFurCoat.

Posted by: Brett-Butler 13th January 2011, 09:32 PM

Gallops would have probably been fighting for top marks for me if it had vocals. I really enjoyed the instrumental track, but I feel it needed a good top-line melody.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 09:32 PM

Gallops was my #13. I did like it, but I thought it could've been a little shorter.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 09:33 PM

Mikey next, who with a pair of 4th placed finishes and a victory has by far the best record in Unknown Pleasures so far, but that run looks like it's about to end, with only one song lying below Chromatics. 7 points for Grouplove see the lead extended to 15 whilst Iamamiwhoami becomes the 5th song to reach 100. The top two are starting to look uncatchable.

Posted by: Illuminato 13th January 2011, 09:34 PM

I noticed that so far Grouplove made it to all the commentaries. Even when nobody gave it anything

Posted by: Illuminato 13th January 2011, 09:35 PM

4-1-4-27 for Mikey.

Posted by: Mart!n 13th January 2011, 09:37 PM

Looks like I had the dull track that everyone was talking about, looks like a duck for me this time round.

Posted by: Chris. 13th January 2011, 09:37 PM

<3




really? most responses I have seen for their EP is that it should be more longer and expanded.

Posted by: Chris. 13th January 2011, 09:38 PM

Oh and I'm in the video for my track aswell, hope no one spotted me.

Posted by: SKOB 13th January 2011, 09:38 PM

Should I ask some advice from someone else

Posted by: Dandy* 13th January 2011, 09:39 PM

I'm still thinking Young Galaxy could steal this.

(and sort of hoping so too )

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 09:39 PM

But not for long, as Ryan gives top marks to Pavel's song bringing it back into potenatial contention. Points given to the songs immediately behind Ryan's own entry see its grip on a top 5 spot diminished, and El Guincho climb into the top 20.

Posted by: Illuminato 13th January 2011, 09:40 PM

I will not agree for 2nd though!

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 09:42 PM

Ben had two top 5 finishes but only managed 18th last time out. Glasser are definitely on course to improve that and are within a few points of the top 5. Strange Talk close on Grouplove and Young Galaxy are now also in contention. With just three votes remaining the winner is surely going to come from that trio? Big points to the bottom two tracks see Chromatics climb into 20th and Autre Ne Veut have a chance of not finishing bottom.

Posted by: Mart!n 13th January 2011, 09:43 PM

LOL I'm making a late surge

Posted by: Hitstastic 13th January 2011, 09:43 PM

The top 5 at the moment is really strong - any of them will make a worthy winner imo.

Posted by: Chris. 13th January 2011, 09:44 PM

looks like i'm definatly going to be ending below Krause. The tiny but of hope I had left in humanity is now gone.

Posted by: Illuminato 13th January 2011, 09:44 PM

OMFG. This is intense.

Posted by: Brett-Butler 13th January 2011, 09:45 PM

Back in the top 10. Here's hoping that I can snatch 9th place in the last 3 votes.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 09:45 PM

Nick now, he came last time and at least he's improved this time if nothing else! Nothing for Grouplove sees the gap close to just three points, Young Galaxy still in contention but with obviously less of a chance now. The rest of the top 10 are very close now with Not Squares and Colder cementing their places in the top 10.

Posted by: Illuminato 13th January 2011, 09:46 PM

NEVER LIKED THAT NICKF1 GUY.

Posted by: SKOB 13th January 2011, 09:47 PM

Only 17 points between 11-19.

Posted by: Mart!n 13th January 2011, 09:47 PM

The Krause track must belong to Tyron

Posted by: Brett-Butler 13th January 2011, 09:48 PM

2 top marks now! Thank you Nick F1, glad you enjoyed Release the Bees.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 09:49 PM

Two votes left, I'll reveal both at the same time....

Posted by: Illuminato 13th January 2011, 09:51 PM

OMG you know how to torture

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 09:55 PM

So, Tyron and Harve, I accepted them both.... Harve follows up a win with a pretty much dead cert last, whilst Tyron has a chance to return to the top 5.

A 4 for Young Galaxy and a 5 for Strange Talk put Strange Talk into the lead but Grouplove can still get potentially two votes. A combined 8 for Krause see them climb five places, and Swing Kids get closer to moving out of the bottom 3.

Posted by: Illuminato 13th January 2011, 09:58 PM

15 or 20 from Tyron is needed. Not going to pull this one off

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 10:01 PM

None of the top 3 songs get 7-10, a combined 18 puts Glasser into a strong 4th place. Gallops get another 7 to climb up a bit further from the bottom (it should have two more points, I input it wrongly...) and both Aeroplane and El Guincho climb into the top half.

Posted by: Dandy* 13th January 2011, 10:01 PM

So the winner is either mine, the one that's actually my favourite or the one I predicted would win!

Posted by: Mart!n 13th January 2011, 10:05 PM

I can't believe Krause is going to finish ahead of me

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 10:06 PM

15 for Grouplove means only top marks from Tyron can give Strange Talk a win, as it now becomes a two horse race. A 15 for Not Squares from Tyron see Brett's entry climb from 9th to 6th, and El Guincho gets another 12 to complete its ascent to a comfortable top half finish.

Posted by: Illuminato 13th January 2011, 10:07 PM

Posted by: SKOB 13th January 2011, 10:08 PM

Damn Cover Your Tracks

Posted by: Illuminato 13th January 2011, 10:09 PM

WATCH ME GRAB THAT 2ND PLACE.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 10:10 PM

Tyron, have I ever told you I hated you?

Posted by: SKOB 13th January 2011, 10:11 PM

SHOCKER

Chris, it looks like you won't be finishing below Krause after all!

All over the place lolz.

Posted by: Thomsen 13th January 2011, 10:13 PM

Not voting AND choosing Krause. That's a crime!

Congrats, Dandy.

Once again, well done organizing this, Rabbit.

Posted by: Chris. 13th January 2011, 10:14 PM

i'm just embassased if anything. I wouldnt be bothered about where I have come if Krause hadnt beaten me.

EDIT: i'm retarded, I looked at the wrong scoreboard. tiny bit of faith in humanity restored.

Posted by: Tom Hello Kay 13th January 2011, 10:15 PM

10-20

Oh well, good enough, better than I expected. Congrats to Dandy, great winner

Posted by: Illuminato 13th January 2011, 10:15 PM

Krause hadn't, that's the point. Thank Addy for not voting

Posted by: Brett-Butler 13th January 2011, 10:16 PM

4th, I'm very pleased with that. Thank you for the late marks Harve and Tyron, I'm glad you enjoyed the track.

14-24-20-25 what a horrible run lol

Congrats to Dandy and great job Rabbit

Posted by: Mart!n 13th January 2011, 10:16 PM

ooh... I've moved up a tad, above Krause, my run now 4-1-4-18 I feel better now than coming bottom second from last.

Posted by: Hitstastic 13th January 2011, 10:16 PM

That really is a good final top 3. Congrats to Dandy Thanks as always Mark for all your hard work putting this together.

22-15-11-14 <--- not too bad for me.

Posted by: Illuminato 13th January 2011, 10:16 PM

Harve won the last UP, didn't he? LOL.

Posted by: Tom Hello Kay 13th January 2011, 10:16 PM

Only just noticed who sent Immortal Technique. That gives me a new perspective on the happy, clappy k-pop fan

Posted by: Brett-Butler 13th January 2011, 10:18 PM

Oh, and congrads to Dandy for the win, and sympathy for RFC, who would've deserved a win with Grouplove.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 10:18 PM

Yes!

How FABULOUS though that Strange Talk won! Spectacular stuff Dandy

My apologies to Pavel as Young Galaxy grew on me a fair bit after I voted but your position would've been the same anyway so no matter!

After the backlash I saw when I was fishing to see how Fenech-Soler went down I'm pleased with seventh - Skyline aside (most misguided entry evah) I've finished top ten every time, so I'm pleased!

Posted by: Illuminato 13th January 2011, 10:21 PM

Woo. Most top marks received!

Posted by: Mart!n 13th January 2011, 10:22 PM

Well Done to Dandy, thanks for hosting Mark

Posted by: Dandy* 13th January 2011, 10:22 PM

(plus thank you for organising it, naturally)

I was reading a review of the latest Kitsune album on Pitchfork earlier and they really don't care for the track it would appear!

Posted by: grebo69 13th January 2011, 10:22 PM

8th for the second competition on the trot.

Congratulations for the win Dandy but once again I am mystified at the song that won.

And thanks Mark for organising and running a smoothly run competition.

Posted by: Suedehead2 13th January 2011, 10:24 PM

My top two finished in the top three so that's a good result. Glad some people liked Paris Angels

Thanks for hosting Mark

You know, I'm wondering I wold have done any better had I sent the full length version rather than the radio edit. Oh well...

Chris 16 - 18 - 22 - 19


first time I havent fallen in two contests. Next time i'm taking a risk.

Posted by: Dandy* 13th January 2011, 10:30 PM

I'm going to have to listen to yours again, it didn't jump out at me at all but it seems to have quite high marks from people who I usually agree with so maybe I dismissed it too early.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 10:31 PM

WINNER HOSTS UP5?!

Posted by: Dandy* 13th January 2011, 10:35 PM

I could do I guess, may be fun as I haven't done one of these in a very long while - although I'd rather someone else would host a terrible mini UP before it so I don't have so much to live up to!

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th January 2011, 10:35 PM

Oh and thank you everyone for the thank you's. It's much appreciated. I shall miss doing it but I need to not host at least the next two as I'm entering the last semester of my degree next week....

Posted by: Mart!n 13th January 2011, 10:35 PM

That teaches me to send a dull track, I wanted to try something different, I stick to my top 5 formula next time

Posted by: Suedehead2 13th January 2011, 10:39 PM

There seems to be a theme here

Posted by: ▲▲▲ 13th January 2011, 11:03 PM

SAY WHAT.

Posted by: ▲▲▲ 13th January 2011, 11:04 PM

Pleasantly surprised Young Galaxy and Glasser did so well! T WAS ROBBED.

Posted by: grebo69 13th January 2011, 11:44 PM

So the people who submitted two of the worst tracks didn't vote. Shameful.

Posted by: tonyttt31 14th January 2011, 12:08 AM

Great contest. Disaster for me.

Posted by: Addy! 14th January 2011, 04:19 AM

Krause actually did very well.

Oh and yeah...it was me who sent Krause .

Thanks to everyone.

Posted by: zechhh 14th January 2011, 06:21 AM

Grats to the winner(s) and thx to RFC for organizing it.

Not a bad result although some of my higher pointers finished in the bottom half. My result went downhill from the last time which I wasn't really expecting if I'm honest but thx to everyone who voted for Anathema.

Indeed. But we didn't give each other points.

Posted by: titty 14th January 2011, 02:26 PM

No 11. Not bad for first time.
Just checked and I gave points to 9 of the Top 10.

Surely Gallops should have been higher, and Ultramariini for that matter.

Posted by: Chris. 14th January 2011, 05:18 PM

too right.

Posted by: Harve 14th January 2011, 06:54 PM

Oh FAIL.



I know this would've done better, although that's not saying much.

Posted by: Illuminato 14th January 2011, 07:16 PM

I've discovered this artist around the time of voting and didn't even notice that you entered them until like 2 days ago! They're quite bland frankly

Posted by: ヽ(´ー｀)ʎ 14th January 2011, 09:14 PM

i voted 4 ya honey. <3 autre neu veut make interesting tunesss.

THANKS FOR FIFTH Y'ALL. And a great top 5, in general. Sad you can't host again Mark. You did an incredible job. UP must must must continue.

Posted by: Dandy* 14th January 2011, 11:30 PM

If nobody minds, I quite fancy hosting the next one. It will not be up to Mark's standards with flash scoreboards and things but I can certainly manage to fix the voting order to maximise suspense!

Posted by: Suedehead2 14th January 2011, 11:43 PM

As long as you don't fix the votes

Posted by: grebo69 14th January 2011, 11:43 PM

When were you thinking of starting the process of UP5 up then Dandy?

Posted by: SKOB 15th January 2011, 09:19 AM

The language was probably the main problem for the latter

Posted by: tonyttt31 15th January 2011, 10:20 AM

I'm really at a loss as to what to pick next. I could go for wacky or for safe. Either way none of my potential choices is amazing.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 15th January 2011, 10:51 AM

Not if it's like the first one you won't!

Posted by: Thomsen 17th January 2011, 11:56 PM

AHHHHH! I have a winner for the next one! Mark my words!

Posted by: Dandy* 17th January 2011, 11:58 PM

Around about the beginning of March, I thought that would give people 2 months since the last one began.

No doubt folk will bump the thread if they want it sooner anyway!

Posted by: titty 18th January 2011, 08:28 AM

Bump

Posted by: Dandy* 18th January 2011, 06:42 PM

Ha!

I don't mind doing it sooner but, at the same time, I don't want it to be full of crap just because people haven't had chance to find something else... what do you folk think?

Posted by: Chris. 18th January 2011, 06:45 PM

i think end of feb/start of march is right, i'd love to have it recurring all the time, but the longer it is between each one the higher the quality is.

Posted by: Severin 18th January 2011, 06:45 PM

Not feeling the need to wait here but I appreciate others might prefer to

Posted by: grebo69 18th January 2011, 07:47 PM

End of Feb sounds right to me. It seems to be a 6 week gap between the end of one and beginning of the next is roughly usual.

Posted by: tonyttt31 18th January 2011, 09:26 PM

I have a reserve of 4 tracks at the moment but none of them are as good as my last one which ended up in the bottom 5 (below Kraus )

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 19th January 2011, 12:01 AM

The results have been every 2 months so far, with them being in the teens of July, September, November and January. Beginning of March with a 10-14 day voting period would continue the pattern nicelyl.

Posted by: Mr Self Destruct 26th February 2011, 02:09 PM

so Dandy are you starting UP5 soon?

Posted by: Pavel 26th February 2011, 02:13 PM

I have a good Melodifestivalen track to send

Posted by: Dandy* 26th February 2011, 02:27 PM

I am indeed starting it soon, it's next on my list of things to do after the Family Fortunes results tomorrow.

Posted by: Mr Self Destruct 26th February 2011, 02:51 PM

good stuff, i'm starting to get withdrawl symptoms.

Posted by: tonyttt31 1st March 2011, 08:41 AM

I have to come up with something good for this.

Posted by: Rooney 2nd March 2011, 11:56 PM

Hope there's a space for me to do it. Got two good new finds!

Posted by: Mart!n 4th March 2011, 01:10 PM

I'm getting withdrawal symptions, I need a fix soon

Posted by: Dandy* 4th March 2011, 01:14 PM

Yes... this does indeed need to be started soon. I shall probably post the entry thread later this evening.

Posted by: zechhh 4th March 2011, 01:36 PM

Posted by: Mr Self Destruct 4th March 2011, 06:24 PM

get your own jokes mikey.

Posted by: Hitstastic 4th March 2011, 06:45 PM

You've got no chance!!! Mikey is notorious for copying other peoples posts. In fact, Mikey will reply to this with "i'm notorious for copying others posts" or some such.

On another note, I've already got my entry chosen. It could go either way - either loved by the masses, or completely flop on its ass. I'm still entering it though.
