BuzzJack Music Forum _ Buzzjack Song Contest _ Pagasa National Thread
Posted by: dhwe 15th February 2016, 01:18 AM
The people of Pagasa would like to formally plant our stake in the BJSC soil with our own national thread!
[flag to come]
Capital: Nuevatera D'Esperansa
Population: 3,082,390
Languages: Pagasense, Inganyol
Demonym: Pagasano
President: Pulita Torres
Description: The fledgling nation of Pagasa sits on what was once a deserted archipelago that harbored almost no life until it was transformed by a group of refugees and outcasts searching for a new home. After welcoming many subsequent waves of migration, Pagasa has grown and continues to grow tremendously, and it stands today as a symbol of hope for anyone in need of a new beginning.

KING – The Greatest
I'm taking home the gold.
For Pagasa's debut entry, we have decided to trot out "The Greatest", an R&B/synthpop number from the trio KING.
This song felt like the perfect debut for us—lush, but like its muse Muhammad Ali, packs a punch all the same and won't go down without a fight. We hope you enjoy!

Welcome again from Persephonia! 
This is a rather excellent debut and one I can see growing even more on further listens! Reminds me a bit of The Internet if you know of them ~
Posted by: Mattias 17th February 2016, 08:38 AM
I enjoyed your debut entry on Dubtrack last night, dhwe
Posted by: Jade 17th February 2016, 01:21 PM
Oh my god WHAT a debut!! The song is so infectious and the video is fab as well. Huuuuge welcome to the contest from Jadakissnia! 
best of luck with this.
Posted by: dhwe 24th February 2016, 10:15 AM
Thank you to everyone who liked and voted for our song! It was beyond our expectations to qualify with our debut entry.
Here's to the final!

'The Greatest' is an absolutely DIVINE entry <3 big points from moi
Posted by: dhwe 26th February 2016, 04:27 AM
ah thank you seven!! i kind of had a feeling you'd like it, glad I wasn't just being presumptuous :B and thanks to everyone else who's supported it as well!
Posted by: JSG 26th February 2016, 06:59 AM
I agree with everyone else dhwe. Your debut is a brilliant representation of what BJSC is About. Congrats on making the final
Posted by: dhwe 6th March 2016, 03:26 AM
The girls of KING gave it their all, but in the end, Pagasa must settle with 30th place for our debut entry. As much as we Pagasanos hoped to crack at least the top half of the rankings, we are taking our placing in stride and, in all, we consider our BJSC debut to be a success. That said, we are already in the process of scouting talent for the next contest, and we can't wait to show the world what is up our sleeve in Ethanola in April!
We would like to thank the following countries for their support:
FARC +18
Syndare +18
Trifoski +18
Singerpurear +15
Jukianië +13
Jadakissnia +12
Espen +11
Deandria +10
Dalisska +9
Federal Republic of Ashton +8

Posted by: Mattias 6th March 2016, 10:27 PM
Aw I wish I would've been able to give it more points! I mean 10 points is very good but it really is a fantastic entry 
It grew on me a lot since the semis as well where I think I only gave it 2 points or something. I have such a good feeling that you're gonna have plenty of interesting entries up your sleeve in future
Posted by: dhwe 7th March 2016, 03:45 AM
Yeah, I think the song might've been a grower for a couple people. I think it was also a matter of Semi 2 being really strong; I came 12th in Semi 1 but dropped all the way down to 30th for the Final. Oh well. Thanks a lot for the 10 points, happy to hear you like the song
Posted by: #CodySlayberry 7th March 2016, 04:04 AM
If it helps I probably would have give your song points in the semi

Q Lazzarus – Goodbye Horses
I've seen my hopes and dreams a-lying on the ground.
For the BJSC Movies spin-off, we have decided to send "Goodbye Horses", a 1988 song by Q Lazzarus that was used perhaps most prominently in The Silence of the Lambs during Buffalo Bill's dance scene. Not much is known about Q, and her releases were scarce, but this song has become her signature hit thanks to its use in various films*.
We hope you enjoy the song, and don't forget to vote!
(*Disclosure: This Pagasano representative has never seen any of the films in question, but discovered the song when he was 16 and fell in love with it immediately. He was amazed that an artist could release such a gem and virtually nothing else afterward.)
(Further disclosure: This song has been entered in UP before but it's allowed so w/e)
Posted by: dhwe 13th March 2016, 05:14 AM
We finish the BJSC Movies spin-off at #32, a rather disappointing result. Although "Goodbye Horses" is a beloved song among Pagasanos, we have concluded that it was too low-key for this contest and, in the end, it got lost among all the other tracks that more clearly screamed "soundtrack song". However, we still got a fair few votes, including one 18! We would like to thank the following countries for their support:
Quintessa +18
Suedeonia +13
Mulgracia +10
Jadakissnia +7
Ethanola +6
Ojnoj +3
Altyr Muunilinst +2
D'yermak'er +1
Hushkanukia +1
Syndare +1
The Pagasano BJSC Committee has decided that we will sit out the BJSC 10th anniversary one-off, but we'll be back in April for BJSC 83 with something that we think will go down quite well. See you there!

You'll never know.
Posted by: Cody Ballas 7th April 2016, 12:52 AM
I've never been to that part of Florida but I've been to Florida so close enough to call hype
Posted by: dhwe 7th April 2016, 03:00 AM
(It's ok bc my hype post is basically just an attempt to draw a tenuous connection between the song title and the sample it uses!)
Posted by: Jade 13th April 2016, 10:46 PM
Your first two entries have been incredible 
Posted by: Cody Ballas 14th April 2016, 02:01 AM
The Range better be a Keys N Krates alias because it sounds so much like their stuff
(Translation: I was not disappointed at all)

in love we're all the same, we're walking down an empty street
and when nobody calls your name
empty streets, empty nights
the downtown lights
Posted by: dhwe 9th April 2017, 08:44 PM
how do i know you feel it? how do i know it's true?
bjsc 94 | the blue nile — "the downtown lights"
from hats (1989)
nighttime urban melancholy that swells as far and wide as the glow of the city lights
Posted by: Bré 🐱 14th April 2017, 01:46 AM
This is a real beauty a bit of a shame if it does end up not qualifying as people are predicting, all fingers crossed for it to deliver a surprise.
Posted by: dhwe 14th April 2017, 05:34 PM
thanks bre! i'm really not hyperbolizing when i say it's my fave of the four (4) entries i've ever sent. ngl i was hoping for a more positive reception but then again i feel like i've always been out of step w what's popular in bjsc because 1) i've literally done four contests and 2) i don't have the time or energy to look for something and like, focus group beforehand in plug and "play the game" so to speak. i'm glad you like it though and i hope those that do like it listen to the whole album because i completely became enamored w it in the past month. recommended if ur in love and/or lonely and are walking alone in a city at night
Posted by: dhwe 15th April 2017, 08:10 PM
the neons and the cigarettes, rented rooms and rented cars
the crowded streets, the empty bars, chimney tops and trumpets
the golden lights, the loving prayers, the coloured shoes, the empty trains
i'm tired of crying on the stairs
we DNQed but if you liked our entry even a little bit please please listen to the whole album, it is divine and a lost '80s gem. also apparently they're matty from the 1975's fav band so extremely riyl the 1975. embedding it to make it even easier
also embedding the final track bc it's saturday night and it's #relatable. listen while the semi 1 results come in
Posted by: Bré 🐱 15th April 2017, 08:53 PM
</3
I'm awful with listening to albums even by like my faves but I will try and check out the rest of 'Hats' soon as well, I trust your recommendation ~
Posted by: King Rollo 15th April 2017, 09:04 PM
Love this song. Just my sort of music. Shame it didn't make the final. I was in the other semi so I couldn't vote for it.
Posted by: Jade 🐱 15th April 2017, 09:08 PM
Yet another great entry from you dhwe, Pagasa are yet to put a foot wrong for me *.* how do you still only have one qualifier.
A shame I wasn't able to help this song out but I guess it wouldn't make much difference anyway 
damn u BJSC masses.

You came so close to receiving 1 each of the scores from 1 to 12 in the semi nnn. If only you got just 1 fewer point from one each of Harmonica/Skall and Cor Lupus/Vülkyria.
((don't mind my obscure takeaways))
I guess the curse of me enjoying Pagasa entries has now morphed from causing them to DNQ to causing them to either DNQ or come last in the final 
my bad ~~ (I'm glad to have finally been able to give you points anyway as I literally would have voted for every single one of your DNQs I think lmao)

I guess the curse of me enjoying Pagasa entries has now morphed from causing them to DNQ to causing them to either DNQ or come last in the final
my bad ~~ (I'm glad to have finally been able to give you points anyway as I literally would have voted for every single one of your DNQs I think lmao)lmfao I didn't even notice! queen of bizarre statistical trivia
and please don't stop liking our entries! we appreciate the loyalty and we'll take the curse in stride~

Qualifiers:
1. #30 KING – The Greatest [82]
2. #41 Ministry – Work for Love [128 | 86.7 points]
3. #41 Kingdom featuring Syd – Nothin (Club Mix) [130 | 78.2 points]
Scrap Heap (DNQs):
The Blue Nile – The Downtown Lights [94]
Kareem Ali – In My Spaceship [127]
Mariah Angeliq – Perreito [129]
