PM myself (http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?act=Msg&CODE=4&MID=9403) with your confirmation. Your PM must include the following:
Sent... didn't see this coming
I have CONFIRMED for now but may end up switching lol, I'll see how the week pans out ~
Either way, much excitement *.*
Done the deed.
you guys better end up with an even number for my benefit!
Confirméd
What's with the sad face emoji tho
Presentation all looking v sleek and pretty as ever, yay 2 be back in Aeroche <3
I have confirmed. Am i going punjabi? Am i not going punjabi? So many questions ;o
Going to a country I haven't been to in over a year for this contest.
CONFIRMED. Sent my first Glaswegian arteeste.
Sent my confirmation
Sent, but I'm like 60% sure it was probably taken (in that case I'm headed for a DNQ).
Risking it for the biscuit this time!
Make sure your inbox is nice and wide because here come my confirmations
omg don't have a song
Confirmed, woop (earliest I've sent in a while)
Confirmed with a song I've really been loving recently
Not sure whether to count my entry as a third American act in a row or a first British act of the entire year (since Eagles For Hands in BJSC68 in fact). SoundCloud just identifies him/her/them as 'NYC/LDN' and very little other information is available online. This is not nice for my stats. Didn't realise it had been so long since I last sent a British act though. I'm gonna go bump my entry nationalities thread
Confirmed an Electro-rock banger.
At this rate, I'm going with only my second British artist of the year. Previously had 5 Americans, 2 Swedes, 1 Brit and 1 Australian in 2015. Didn't realise I'd sent so few Brits this year
Sent mine
drum n bass comin at ya
There has been a TRIPLE confirmation, but everything else looks to be fine, so if you haven't received a message assume that to be good news (unless I've made a boo-boo).
progressive trance from 2 years ago coming for the win 22nd place in the semi final
and as we're talking nationalities this one is DUTCH
Going for my second Australian of my roster this month!
If we are talking nationalities mine is British, pretty much an unknown artist, from what I can gather. Very New Order (ish)
I thought I was dead set on my entry but I found something else I quite liked last night and NEARLY went with that instead. May change my mind throughout the week as I'm slightly torn. (I've somehow managed to stumble upon an artist with Lynx in the name for a THIRD time lmao). But yeah gone with my original song for now!
EN FRANCAIS
Lmao. Oh dear! Someone got to my entry before I did. I hate you all.
I might be going generic dance but the pain of the aritst is too raw (that will make sense when you see her background) </3 If I find something proper I won't send her.
(With an incredible video for us 90s kids who like paper clips)
Confirmed with our first Australian artist and moved away from dance which will hopefully work in our favour
Confirmed my entry
Can I confirm Ariana Grande please?
I'm obsessed.
help...
confirmed trance from early 00's and he is german (duh...)
Would anyone like to help me out with a selection of just three songs? Genuinely in three minds and I have no idea which I prefer the most out of the three
I shall help you out, if you so desire
Yes please <3 PM incoming!
mod chickentikkas i will send u research stuff but there's only a couple of tracks even worth the research for vetoing ill do it when im not drankang
So undecided, Bollywood (again), haunting stark slowwww ballad, banging instrumental trancerave, 80's latinodancepop....
Changed my entry! It's not the safe option but I'm currently LOVING IT and the potential reward of an AQ is worth it.
John (that is your name right?) I prefer the sound of the first and last options :eyes:
Bollywood or trance pls
bollywood trance
aka Trolleywood
Is that where Pixie Lott now works?
I'm tempted to change my entry to something even cheaper than what I've already sent (but also even less BJSC friendly). Hmm.
thanks all, thanks Matt for the kind offer (might test you out on the two i dont use next time), though you seem to be outvoted though on the options front, and Klumpkin yes it's John
I'm leaning towards one of the options now...cheers all!
(and I'll probably use the others sometime some song contest or other )
I've changed my entry. Oh my ~
(tbh I might still pussy out of it and change back but I think I've sent enough instrumentals this year ;o and there are other trance songs in this contest so I'm standing out more this way! Coming for DNQ 2 of the year tho)
Confirmed - my entry is cheap (I mean CHEAP), but nothing similar to anything I sent before.
I've changed my entry also O.O
does anyone want to help me out by sending me a song that will win ok thanks
confirmé
confirmé
I've confirmed too!
Have an artist ready. Just need to choose something from them. They are sooooooo on fleek and f***ing kewl.
So, a dreadful racket that will only appeal to those with poor hearing and or a deep desire for self harm.
Confirméd a bangerT. I am coming for bloodT
okay so i sent away 40 (?) songs to mods and i've had FO confirmations since so i think we're on 44. i think. no news is good news at this point so you have ur entry. as for me i have no f***ING IDEA what to send and i'm honestly thinking of sending something that is a ratchet mess cos AQ and that
there's currently a couple of songs in confirmations that sound like they could be BIG contenders
You did get my reconfirmation right Lewbi ~~
Confirmed my entry earlier today and I'm currently very obsessed with it. It is very Frank Ocean (so all y'all still waiting for that second album can have this in the meantime!) with the addition of an interesting 'sample' that is very close to the heart.
Changed my entry to something which I feel like is completely different to my previous entries I am loving it though
someone has tried to confirm a song that was entered last contest, so people please do use the Songs Of thread.
If it was entered last contest, the Songs Of thread won't be of much help.
n dntn sending u postcards from MALI this month xox
hypehypehypehype
london-paris-barcelona-bamako
omfggg ^
I went for a possible (but fab) DNQ option - if I qualify again I'll be amongst the leading streakers of qualifiers, can't have that
Quite a lot of regulars yet to confirm with less than 24 hours to go ;o (Federal Republic of Ashton, Beaverdonia, Desbuanda, Ethanola, Fljótavík, Greenfroze, Harmonica, Joedonia, Jukianië, Republic of Adonia, Tartford, Tinnmark, Trifoski, Ultraviolenceland, Unovia, Varakë and Vülkyria of those who entered last time and aren't banned, plus a few others that are unbanned again this month).
I found a smash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I mean, coming for top 30 this month.
Confirmed.
Will someone listen to three potentials plz? I have sultry K-Pop, a lovely R&B ballad duet and a pop banger and dunno what to go for.
confirmed~
Well I just switched from sultry K-Pop, I wonder if that's the same song Liam
But I think I'm happier ending the year with this entry, it's been essential to my last month and however it does, I'll be happy (as long as it does better than poor Stamp!) - clue is already in my signature.
I'm really excited for this contest, completely obsessed with my song and I think it's the most crowd pleasing entry to come from Taahino so far
daeadline todaey? what
Entered
We have an auto-veto
The track which has been auto vetoed is as follows:
Run The Jewels - Oh My Darling Don't Cry 26
-Featured on pitchfork, stereogum (with hype to the max), consequenceofsound, rollingstone, nme, fuse, thelineofbestfit, complex, billboard, radio, pigeonsandplanes, theplayground, indieshuffle, thefader [HIGH BLOGS COVERAGE] 7+12
-Album which song is contained, charted at #50 on Billboard 200 this year (also critically acclaimed) 7
Omg not me being vetoed for the first time ever
:'(
BRAY IS A CHEAP HOE
I always knew Persephonia was cheap. Didn't realise they'd be THIS cheap
Just confirmed a stunner of a house track.
French lyrics. Ouais!
Bra now having the same number of vetoes as me :')
From the little i know of them, that could have been a fab entry :'( Let me peep the sang and see if it's true~
Would not think on first glance that they should be vetoed but oops.
I'm not sure if I'm going to enter or do a Beaverdonia and spend a month out recalibrating my sound (or because I'm too busy!).
RTJ would have bombed spectacularly anyway so this is kind of a good thing? I'm not gonna dispute that they / especially this song (lol) were pretty massively hyped among certain Internet critics so I GET IT but I'm disappointed the BJSC mods actually went to the effort of bothering to veto it (especially as I was really excited for this to be my entry), when they've let very similar but much more contest-friendly kinds of entries (e.g. Tame Impala) through before :') (Plus I did actually check for blog coverage before I sent it and nowhere near that much came up lol so fair enough).
Nooo at my moral highground being destroyed as well. Ryan will never let me live this down. Cry.
Shame that they weren't as vigilant with Sigala.
I've never heard of Run The Jewels but lol at bré getting autovetoed.
EDIT: Listening to it now omg it's v good.
The SF26th place smash that never was. #BlameYu
wait i might switch because i just saw a fab artist opening for marina and i feel compelled to send them
No way would Run The Jewels have finished as low as 26th in the semi. I may be overestimating it because it's Persephonia but I'm sure it would've got the hip-hop fanbase onboard like Jay-Z and Kool Aid
i need some feedback please a new song i found has thrown a wrench into the plans
Well as being vetoed has made me a SAD BOY, methinks it's time to send in another perennial potential of mine at long last. With even more expectation of absolute failure.
(I don't really want to go back to my original entry now because frankly it was about as cheap as RTJ as well lmao, although I don't think it would actually have got any veto points)
Anyway I am going Ecuador this time. We be winning
Persephonia highlighting Swedish music that doesn't sound at all Swedish for the second time this year.
(Ecuador though *.*)
Urgh I have no time to find anything. :/
I've been so slack with this lately.
Confirmed, went k-Pop in the send rather than a sort of lazy pop hoe entry or a recycled Unovia artist, felt right and I've loved the song for a while
Lewwwww.... your inbox is full. :/
...sent to Iz instead, hope he will be able to pass it on okay.
Had no idea what to send so just sent what I almost sent last contest. From Colombia which is definitely a first for me...
emptied
okay so by my count i see 64(?) nations with Ultraviolenceland having to reconfirm due to confirming something that had already been submitted. Samalam you have an opportunity to resubmit so just get something to me ASAP if you could, cos i'm sure there will be more vetoes!
No Ashton??
I find this very surprising that Silas didn't sign up.
I do hope everything is alright with Phil, he has been unusually inactive recently ;o
I am all good physically. It's been a right bitch of a fortnight mentally though. I'm attempting to do 4 weeks work in the space of 2 because I go on holiday on Friday, we've changed finance systems (and the new one is shit and barely works), in my own time I'm coding up the financial statements to feed into TRAC for my CIMA PERs, and I've been wardening non-stop. I'm about 1mm away from complete burnout but it's ok because my holiday is almost here.
Lew has been an utter babe and accepted my track this morning Next time I give the ok to dates, i'll check how long confirmations actually is open for instead of just assuming it's a full week
I assumed the same with voting that time I missed it
I'll try and re-confirm something in the next couple of hours
(actually ive already confirmed x)
I volunteer Froot to withdraw from this BJSC so that Klum can get an AQ :')
I volunteer Ramrynia to be banned for crimes against music.
I volunteer Persephonia to be banned for crimes against music
I volunteer Kluminican Republic to be banned for kidnapping Truls. Meaning we AQ.
(Let's not forget Klum Rep would only AQ due to Hendinia's late votes last month being accepted anyway ny2)
I volunteer Kylienips to be banned for suggesting such a thing.
I volunteer Beaverdonia to be banned for crimes against beavers and tapirs
I volunteer Persephonia for being a cheap hoe
Speaking of which, where has Jahq been?
Anybody else want to help me decide between my potentials?
Will confirm in the next half an hour!
sned to me samalam!
I can help as well
Its after f***ing deadline. Such impudence.
Re-Confirmed
Omg my artist has just released a new song 1 day after confirmations closed. Lol. (Not as good as the one I sent tho)
We vetoed Ryan #ModsGetVetoedToo
It had 4 confirmations and was on a tonne of blogs. The 4 confirmations really threw up a red flag for us.
What song was it?
RYAN IS A CHEAP HOE
(as if we didn't know that already)
I was thinking of sending that too.
I've heard it played on Radio 1.
I'm desperately trying to find my ny2 gif URL but I'm on my phone and can't access it
Don't worry though guys, my back-up was sent to Leww a day or two ago so it hasn't caused a hold up and we are all ready to go tonight as long as Leww is.
Ryan and Bré are so cheap ~
Bré getting auto vetoed tho
Ryan sending a song that got 4 confirmations tho
Billie - Give Me The Knife teas
I was thinking of entering that for the Halloween spin-off actually.
That's two countries that I can predict a possible DNQ for now
It's possible to pull a Hendinia *shrugs*
(Of course I would get a bunch of hate for that comment ~)
You can start predicting possible DNQs when you see the entry list
I have, so I'm predicting a DNQ for about, hmm, I don't know, 20-odd countries. Or thereabouts.
I think Cody has doomed me to failure as I haven't got an AQ
For a second there I thought Cody implied that the thread was up and my inbox once again ignored my new thread notification.
Speaking of which, are the semi-circles going to be up tonight
Not that I've seen the entries, but it's always advisable to predict Ramrynia and Persephonia to go through Especially considering both of them have only had one DNQ each this year so far.
READY TO DEFY THESE ODDS/THE AGENDA
tbh, just because your first choice was vetoed doesn't mean your back up is DNQ worthy, I ended my DNQ streak with Big Data - Dangerous ft. Joywave which wasn't my first choice, and it came 33rd which may be considered a flop to most of you but it's my 2nd highest placing entry in the main contest
I kindof get the point that Cody is putting across. You could have a song that you really think is going to do well, then at the last minute find out that it's been vetoed and you have no other potentials. But you really want to enter something but you've got little time to go out and find a song, not to mention no time to find out if anyone else likes it, whereas you probably utilised your time with your original entry to decide whether or not to send it.
I think the point is more that Cody shouldn't freak out just because someone is discussing what he said back at him. That does not in any sense = hate or imply that you should delete a post or flip at all.
But yes, historically late vetoes tend to leave people afluster and they enter a hasty entry and DNQ in flames but there's just as many who don't follow that pattern. 78 had Taahino, but it also had N DNTN, both were vetoed at the last minute, and I actually made a point of announcing them both through first when I hosted that semi results because of that.
Don't worry my replacement entry was actually planned to be my BJSC 80 entry before BJSC 79 even began, Dua was just a last minute change of plan due to finding it just before confirmations opened but I'm very happy with my entry now!
Sort of, I confirmed Level 3 but attempted a late change to XYconstant - but couldn't have it due to Silverlined already being entered so naturally reverted back to Level 3. So I saved XYconstant for BJSC 79 instead!
Oi loved you dinet own me! Aaand then forgot to vote for it :lol:Moral top 4 tbh.
I can confirm Persephonia will be DNQing this month tho.
I guess it's always safe to have a few potentials each month so that if the worst does happen you have something you're happy with to send in it's place Although I do get what people mean about the last minute panic as it's not every month where you can find at least two songs you adore, some months you just can't find a song that feels right to send whereas other months you're can't decide between two or three songs
I don't have anything in mind for next year until March/April 2016 calls for a complete refresh of my potentials list and maybe Taahino will look at experimenting with our sound
I already recalibrated my sound 2 months ago.
it don't work that way, sandi
ive already found next contests winner. hurry up with is one so I can do the double ~
hun, the next one would only happen next year
wot part did I say wrong boo
we'll see if you still feel that way in 2 months
