Predicting a HighSchool win here I think ~

Maybe sometime seven or WhoOdyssey (or anyone else) could update the Nuggets stats as I was looking for everyone's peak's to include in my presentation but these don't appear to exist.

This was such a good mix this time round

Not expecting big things this time, as much as I love my song I think it will be difficult for it to stand out in this field.
Would be here for a HighSchool win!

My song got quite a lukewarm reception on Synctube so I'll be hoping there are silent fans :x Was a wonderfully mixed edition though (two atmospheric black metal entries oh my), intrigued to see who sent what.
Posted by: awardinary 12th September 2023, 07:31 PM
Ok, let's kick things off.
First up we will get the results from J00prstar!

If the post comes up blank in the preview just stick a "[quote][/quote]" somewhere in it x
(btw Nuggets has never had a stats thread as far as I'm aware...)

Could see Joop's entry doing reasonably well, think I remember that sounding like it'd be a fairly wide appealing one (a bit of a Bring Me The Horizon-alike iirc?)

A third leader emerges, this time it is Orphaned Land that is in first place. Dobbo can tell us if it will remain there next.

Well for the fourth time in a row a different leader emerges, this time it is Silencer which was somewhat of a controversial entry it seemed. King Rollo moves up to third place. Next up, Calvin Maxwell.

Oop at Silencer in the lead *.*
I seemed pretty judgemental towards whoever sent them, which wasn't my intention, especially with limited research. Just not my vibe~
Posted by: Iz 💀 12th September 2023, 08:04 PM
Very nice entries from J00p, uhsting, Rollo and actually most revealed so far, this was a strong contest with a lot of good variety. Especially liked seeing Sirenia (a name I'd not heard in years) turn up.
Posted by: Brer 12th September 2023, 08:04 PM
I did know that was probably uhsting's entry but to ha for not self-reporting during the listenthrough this time x
I'd heard it once before but definitely got into it more with this relisten, got to love the solid minute and a half of screeching feedback at the end in particular xx (seriously though, here for such a gloriously intense song)

No change at the top this time, and the lead has been extended for East Of Eden. We now turn our attention to the votes of Ansel.

Would have been quite surprising if Bilmuri was anyone other than Whoddy as well - a dead ringer for The 1975 apart from the tacked on death metal parts I don't think the combination really worked but points for being memorable x

Chez Wombat doesn't appear to be doing too well himself too. There is still plenty of time though. What did Riser think of this Nuggets contest then?
Posted by: Iz 💀 12th September 2023, 08:21 PM
Ansel's entry was sweet, very nice singing accent for it, in contrast to the heavier stuff that there was a lot of in this contest.
did find The Audition's song endearing in the way it was already a decade out of date when it was released. Though perhaps not the most surprising bottom 2 (so far).
Posted by: Brer 12th September 2023, 08:22 PM
Cute entry from Ansel, I think we found beabadoobee's inspiration x
and oh lmao Chez actually did straight up just send Lights & Motion yet again lol I wonder if anyone else has ever sent the same artist to 3 different contests lel
Very much approving of the current top 4 ~
Posted by: Iz 💀 12th September 2023, 08:23 PM
oh it WAS Chez as nu Lights & Motion then I honestly didn't call that
Posted by: Chez Wombat 12th September 2023, 08:24 PM
Safe to say I probably won't be replicating my success with this artist when I sent them eight years ago (at least I double bluffed you all x) I get the ambivalence, it did take a few listens for it to really click with me too, but it really has a quiet power and it's a really impressive composition featuring over 50 individually recorded guitar pieces.
Fantastic top 3 there though, any would be a wonderful winner.

Good pick from Jordan, I'd meant to check out Ocean Alley before after they did so well on the Triple J Hottest 100 that one year but never got around to it.

So yes, it was I who was behind Thom Yorke's brother Andy Yorke as part of 90's outfit Unbelievable Truth. Before we take a short break, we would like to hear from Doctor Blind.

Doctor Blind has been one of the few keeping up with the various leaders this evening, he could get close to his first Nuggets win by the end of the night!
A short intermission will now take place, about 20 minutes, and then we will resume with votes from ✖ leww ✖.
Thanks for keeping up everyone, sorry for the rush.

Did not know before this contest that Thom Yorke's brother was also in a band. Nice song x
edit: and a great entry from Doctor B, was not expecting to hear trip-hop vibes in Nuggets of all places! <3

So we now find out the alias of the person behind the Silencer track, and it was Leww, and look how far it has fallen after once being in the lead!
Let's go to Y'all Starlight and see what they had to say about proceedings.

Another of our early leaders was Y'all Starlight, he was behind MAY-A and still looks to be in contention as things stand... but will Suedehead2 have another idea...
Posted by: Brer 12th September 2023, 09:15 PM
All controversy aside, the instrumental of the Silencer track was excellent. Vocals were a bit of a harder sell.
I did know that one was Leww already as he'd mentioned the song to me before as something he might send as a bit of an ~out there~ song contest choice some day.

Brilliant entry from Suedey, shame this one is not on Spotify!
Oh my at Have A Nice Life taking the lead now, would not have pinned that as a contender
Posted by: All★bySmashMouth 12th September 2023, 09:18 PM
I almost forgot that MAY-A was in the Flume track 'Say Nothing'. Her solo song sure was super different.
There is also one more I recognise/knew of from somewhere else among the sent acts (I'll say later).

In case nobody noticed in the last set of results, we have a new leader, and our sixth different leader of the night!
Jade was the opening act of the show, and she has given us an entry that is sitting nice in the Top 10. Maybe baddaDan has other plans on his Nuggets debut...
Posted by: Brer 12th September 2023, 09:22 PM
Beak> was a really nice opening song, a bit Sufjan-y iirc - I can see why Jade thought it might not stand out that much but glad to see it is doing a bit better than expected so far!

RabbitFurCoat was behind Italia 90 and has had a reasonably good run so far. Nothing is budging Earthmover though as they continue to receive points.

No big deal as I'm sure it'll sort itself out by the end but the scoreboard has got a little out of sync (looks like the votes added when you posted Dan's votes were a different set - one that gave 12 points to Italia 90 etc.)
RFC being behind Italia 90 certainly makes sense - thank you for another one to add to the list of artsy post punk bands that I have no choice but to stan. Quite a standout debut entry from Dan as well, a bit of a System Of A Down vibe ~

Sadly Cow P was a non-voter. So they will receive a 12 point deduction at the end of the results. With no change to the scoreboard, let's move on to Iz 💀, could they be the person behind the leading song at the moment...

Remember East Of Eden? They were leading for a long time, and now they are a few places behind, I don't think Iz will be pleased with this. Time to call in the cavalry (aka blacksquare).

this is such a quality entry that I've fallen in love with since its release and it's been great to see so many votes from so many of you (+ an extra 10 from Dan still not yet added on x) for an absolute banger of a J-rock tune (new band as well! what. a. debut!), thank you thank you thank you
having said that let's go contention x

When I saw the violinist, she looked extremely familiar to me. Turned out it was Ayasa, who also plays in wholesome violin rock band Morfonica, in live shows.

Oop I shouldn't have said anything if this is gonna delay the rest of the results I'm assuming you just switched 2 votes around so there'll be a corresponding post where Italia 90 get a 12 but no points added to the scoreboard etc.
East Of Eden was a really strong J-rock entry, loved the strings ~

After dhwe interupted my results show with his edited votes, I had to recount, and this is what he gave us. He has given the leader maximum points so they are just shy of 100 now. Can they hold on and get the win... All★bySmashMouth will give us a clue...

WOW! Suedehead2 has grabbed the winner on the last set of votes! It would have been a much neater way of presenting the results had certain ones not reminded me of errors and changed the votes midway through the results. I will need to do some tidying up of the figures, but there are your results, and full results will be shared in spreadsheet form shortly.
Congratulations goes to Suedehead2 on his first Nuggets victory!

Congratulations Suedey! Thanks very much Wardy.

Such a great win! Congrats Suede! I think this might be the first time my top three all managed top five in any contest, although this is also the third contest this year where top five looked possible and then I fell out at the end. *.*

My votes snatching the win away from one of my big faves to give it to another one of my big faves Well done Suede, a fantastic winner, glad that the lack of Spotify support didn't hamper it.
I'll save commenting on the rest until the tiebreaks are sorted but am hopeful I may have managed to snatch 10th place there (sorry Jerd if I knock you out of the top 10 on that tiebreak although goals @ us finishing with the same number of points anyway x)

I'm gobsmacked I knew I had satisfied the entry requirements by entering a very guitar heavy song, but I didn't expect it to win. As far as I know, this is all they ever released

naurrrrr i swapped my +10 and +8 right before i sent my votes 😩
still happy with that though, never expected to get that high at all, and a great song still won!!
maybe this is karma for the cursed entry i sent to the current bjsc lol
Posted by: Chez Wombat 12th September 2023, 10:52 PM
Ooft that's a close one, both fantastic though in very different ways! Congrats Suedehead Love seeing all my top 3 do so well, East of Eden is the best Asian song contest entry I've heard in a long time and not much to complain about as all my votes finished quite respectfully (apart from Kingdom, aww x)
I was sure this would flop after the first few votes and Synctube reaction so very pleased to continue my top 10 streak + 100% top 10 record with Lights and Motion <3 He was probably my introduction to post rock and continues to be really good to this day. Thank you for all the votes and I would highly recommend his back catalogue, particularly my other two song contest entries, Fireflies and The Spectacular Quiet if you don't know them, they are two of my all time favourite songs of the genre.
Thanks for the efficient hosting, Wardy!

Once again, I'm really sorry for not voting in time. I was listening to the 4th song in the playlist and my body suddenly want me to take a rest. I promise it won't happen again in future contests, esp. BJSC. If anything changed in the scoreboard, it'd be Iz's entry because I'd probably gave it an easy +12.
Congratulations to Suedehead for the win. I haven't checked your entry as well, so might be doing it later.
Thanks Wardy for the hosting.

Omg just caught up and surprised to see my entry finish mid-table I thought it would come last! So thank you everyone for giving me points, especially Leww for 10 points, and dhwe, Iz and Suede for 8 points. Congrats Suede on your first win! Not even the combined effort of Bre and I can bring Rabbit his victory though It was a great discovery nonetheless! Thanks Wardy for another round of fabulous hosting!!

Sorry to be annoying but I'm pretty sure ties are usually broken first by number of votes (although tbf I think that's more just a convention that's usually copied over from BJSC than a specifically proscribed rule for Nuggets - and in fact while digging back through some old results it seems it's only been in the last 5 or so contests that hosts have bothered breaking ties at all - so it's kind of a case of both myself and Jade having a Schrφdinger's 10th place finish I guess this matters less in the absence of a stats thread x)
In any case ~ this is the second time in the span of two weeks (after the Foreign Language III spinoff) where my entire top 4 have finished in the top 5 of a song contest on here so that's kajda krejza - the absolute taste on display once again *.* And even better here because I also voted for the other song in the top 5 and the one in 6th as well! In fact literally only one of my votes finished in the bottom half (Ocean Alley, my 2 pointer) so basically nothing to complain about at all here. Full Of Hell being top half is ikonek in particular x
When I found my song (shoutout to a YouTube video by Drew Gooden where he mentioned a metal song with an incredible saxophone solo which I had to immediately check out lmao) I had a rare level of confidence that I could actually have a pretty big hit on my hands - I suppose 10th/11th fits the bill well enough, I see it had the joint 2nd most votes out of all the songs here as well which is pretty reaffirming but just a lot of them being lower scores ofc. Glad that it was generally well received. Thanks muchly to Dan and Suede for the only medals (both golds!), close to a 12 swap with the latter! Then also thanks to Dobbo, Savan, Wardy, Chez, Rollo, Jade, Nate, Whoddy, AllStar, Cody, RFC and Julian for the rest of the pointage, good thing I kept a list since I had to wait until the very end to be able to acknowledge any of them
Thanks Wardy for the hosting and I apologise that I inadvertently stressed you out near the end, I really shouldn't have said anything oops. I didn't point out the scoreboard error to try and pressure you into fixing it on the fly, I was just noting it to make it easier to troubleshoot if it somehow didn't fix itself by the end which I'm 99% sure it would have done but nevermind!
Posted by: King Rollo 12th September 2023, 11:29 PM
That's a great result, the top 3 were all in my own top 4. Congratulations to Suedehead.
I'm happy with 15th place for my own song.
Thanks Wardy for all the hard work you put into hosting.
Posted by: Ansel 12th September 2023, 11:31 PM
Robbed of last place thanks to any voters!
Congrats Suedehead on the win - I personally didn't get into the song but I'm pleased to see some of my faves (crushed, Italia 90, Beak) in the top ten! Thanks for hosting Wardy

Posted by: Riser 12th September 2023, 11:53 PM
Congrats Suedehead! Your song was my favorite of the contenders, and closest to getting points from me so I'm glad you didn't end up needing them. What an exciting finish!
I'm happy enough with 18th, at least I can say I was 2nd on the first scoreboard. And I got votes from 12 people, nearly half! 'Deepest Darkness' was actually a BJSC potential but I did a swap with the Bartees Strange song that I wanted to send to Nuggets, but figured everyone would know it was me - maybe I should've after seeing Chez sent Lights & Motion again (great choice by the way!).
MAY-A was my 12 and I'm sorry to see Y'all Starlight kind of disown it, thanks for the discovery! I was also curious who was behind Wanda Jackson and The Audition, was thinking someone might think the latter was sent by me, I think I used a song of theirs in CD Swap years ago. Glad I could save them from last at least.
Thanks for hosting, Wardy

So so pleased with how this went, thank you everyone, it's so good to be ending up in 4th with an entry like this - one that even threatened to win at one point, I'm very happy with having sent this. Congratulations to Suedehead as well, a great song winning, and good to see Orphaned Land and Dayseeker in the top 10 too - and thank you for running this so thoroughly Wardy, really great hosting.
Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 13th September 2023, 07:37 AM
What an incredible set of results!
My top 4 finishing 1st, 2nd, 6th and 3rd with my own entry 5th! Italia 90 the winner on the 'Olympic Medal' table too
Was slightly hesitant about sending more post-punk in Leisure Activities after the complete failure of DEADLETTER in UP, so delighted to see it finish as high as 5th. They're both comfortably in my top 10 of the year.
Thanks for hosting Wardy, good job!
Posted by: Dobbo 13th September 2023, 07:55 AM
Wasn't fussed on the wining song at all but what an epic comeback, as many as 38 points off the top at one point and seldom inside the top 10 even throughout the whole reveal, kudos there and congrats to Suede! A very very long time since your only other contest win on here I believe?
Pretty satisfied with a midtable placing. Interesting set of results for it, only the winning song received more votes yet not a single voter awarded it a medal placing. Very much unlike the usual breakdowns for much of my entries to site-wide contests.
Thanks to Wardy for running this one, a really great edition!

Yes, my solitary BJSC win was, I think, in 2017
Posted by: ✖ leww ✖ 13th September 2023, 03:57 PM
Thanks everyone for 19th! Sorry for the controversy - just a disclaimer, I obviously do not align with or are pro-Nazi / Neo-Nazi in any way, and the song I picked was the only one of Silencer's I was familiar with. Out of interest, was that a reason for people to not enjoy the song or did it put people off? Based on what I know of the band (and the genre of music) they seem to address difficult topics, not necessarily known whether or not they align with them, and I think that is a common theme in death metal music. They take on the shocking subjects no-one else will touch and sing from perspectives that no-one else would. I guess it's up to the listener or the public if consumption of that kind of music is endorsement of the subject itself. I find it more of an alternative perspective that doesn't shy away from the horrors we've faced as human beings and explores the psyche, the motives etc. behind them, something we will never tap into because it's not our scene. I guess I liken it to watching crime documentaries on Netflix - it doesn't mean I support the crime, but I do have a curiosity to explore a side of human function that is not at all what I align with. It comes with human instinct.
As for the song itself, the horror of it and the background story behind its creation truly fascinated me. It's a blatant dive into someone's destructive mental health, and as someone who struggles with depression, I was blown away by hearing something so raw from someone who is going through a version of what I'm going through that's THIS extreme. It's something we know as people but not on this level. Rumours are the lead singer is in an insane asylum which I wouldn't doubt too much LOL.
Congratulations to Suedey (I think I may have managed to miss your song on my listens completely, I don't know how I did that?) but a good edition. Guitar music isn't my fave but definitely did take home a few good bits. Thanks all!
Posted by: Dobbo 13th September 2023, 04:03 PM
Amazing discovery^ I certainly thank you for that, powerful stuff.
And I'm guessing you used the Spotify playlist where the Suede entry was sadly unavailable?
Posted by: Chez Wombat 13th September 2023, 04:10 PM
It was largely the rather unpleasant vocal that put me off the song, but I will confess reading up about the band did not help at all. Although I never thought about it that way so thank you for allowing me to see it in a different light, it is similar to how I can get some enjoyment viewing extreme or polarising horror films.
Posted by: baddaDan 13th September 2023, 06:14 PM
thanks for the great hosting effort and glad to see my first entry here make it to the top 10, I had sat on this for a couple of years as a BJSC potential but decided it would probably fare better here.
particularly yay for the big point swap with Iz, +10 from the host, Rollo enjoying my entry much as I expected and an additional +12 from Smash Mouth's #1 stan too
Posted by: Y'all Starlight 13th September 2023, 08:08 PM

Thanks to everyone that voted for me, my opinion on the track that I entered may have soured slightly but i'm still proud of my result regardless!

Fake top 10 or not I'm really pleased with how well my entry did! I thought it was bound to get forgotten right at the start ahead of an eclectic mix, yay.
Thank you for a great hosting job Wardy and congrats Suedey!!

Love that whole Top 5 and very pleased to be 3rd in such a strong competition! Thanks for hosting Wardy, you did a great job - sorry that I wasn't able to be here for the results. I discovered that crushed track just before the contest and was sold from about 20 seconds in when that lush synth lead crashes in, I'm happy that so many others also enjoyed it also. The lyrics in particular just drew me in. Shame that Have A Nice Life just missed out but I did everything I could to support it for the win so I won't feel too guilty at it missing out, and many congrats to Suedey ofc!

Autumn always seems like a good time for a Nuggets contest... just saying.
Please could the mods look for alternative hosts if Simon isn't available? It a been a full year now.
