Your fave summer hit confirmed.
Confirmed with Slovak rap *.* excited for a travis contest!
THAT MAMA PERFORMANCE OMG LEGENDARY
Confirmed something 80’s tinged!
素晴らしい!
曲を見つけさせて。
Confirmed! Please don't veto it.
So hard to pick this month, I have five I'd love to send, three of which are my anthems of the summer so far. Just gone for the one that I've played the most, which is a Swiss sizzler!
Sent... I'm going for a summer electro-indie track, its so sweet and pretty damn catchy. enough said. This is the track I was toying with sending previously instead of sending Lola Blanc
I'm fully expecting a veto but worth a try :')
New Lexico is back back back again. Submitted something I don't see being all that competitive but I completely love it!
So I will be around for the semis of this at least, hooray. Gone with a beautiful Japanese Post-rock/Orchestral song feat. some reliable favourites of mine
I'm confirming something from the 70s so this will be the oldest song I have entered.
Entered some rock-rap!
Hello,I went with a dutch powerballad. You better superglue your wig @ultravuolenceland
not sure if I'll be participating this time around, I'll need to see if ive got something worth sending
funnily enough thats what ive got in mind but i feel like thats almost a certain dnq
okay y'all are getting a cute punky summer bop
I reckon I could have a good guess at that
I found this song which would've been perfect for Club Bizarre vol.8 just recently but too late to confirm it there, so I think I'll enter that.
It's the closest you'll ever get to a metal Danæviia entry.
Not us both going for metal-like entries in the same contest!
excellent *.
An artist I quietly stan has just released a great new song that's quite perfect for this month... so I'm entering that one.
After a brief break we’re going back to dance. Gone for some CamelPhat vibes.
Already have like 26 confirmations! That's what I like to see!
Le Confirme x
Confirmed a bit of optimistic summer sunshine....
Confirmed a song that is slightly longer than my last 3 entries played back to back.
One for fans of Wardruna ~ (so pls be nice to me random.org)
seperate me and bray in the semis pls
Bit stumped this month, hoping the AQ will fall my way cos I’ve gone for a Kyrgyz bop which’ll probably DNQ normally.
Nevermind, found an old K-Pop potential which’ll probably be more appropriate for this contest, will save the Kyrgyz one for a future contest.
First veto coming in hot this contest!
Kim Petras - Icy 17+
- artist came 26th in BJSC 100 and 1st in BJSC 102 12+5
- probably has more veto points
- no one try to send Kim Petras again, you can do better than this x
Ooooh an Aesthetica-hosted contest!! Unfortunately I'm 50/50 on entering this one as I'll be away for most of it and don't have a song in mind anyway. Are there tentative dates for the semis and final?
Hey my last 3 entries were all fairly short. This one is shorter than one of this year's winners, y'all can survive it xx
I am looking forward to hearing your song,Bre. Long songs are much more adventurous than short ones.
i dont have anything against long songs i just can't be arsed listening to them in a contest of 40+ songs, i barely have the attention span to get through an entire semi as it is never mind when there's songs that last 2/3 times the length of most of the other ones
I'll only listen to a couple of minutes of a long song when going through, that's why plug irritates me a bit when I have to sit through a song which is basically the same for 10 minutes.
I'll always sit through the whole song, it's only fair in my view!
Great time to disclose that I'm sending my longest ever entry, after breaking that particular record numerous times already in the past 10 instalments.
If you don't listen to the whole thing, you miss the pay off! The best types of long songs are building up to a wow moment.
I mean are you telling me this isn't worth the full time?
()
3 years on & I'm still waiting for the wow moment^
I may as well also disclose that my entry is longer than... half of 'Emerald Princess'.
It probably is a good time to disclose that my entry comes just short of six and a half minutes.
Not the tallest guy here coming in to tell you that short is beautiful.
Just confirmed a 3:18 slice of Deutschepop perfection
Any entry over 5 minutes is skipped after 30 seconds if it hasnt grabbed me, I ain't suffering through y'alls shit taste.
Reminder of one of the very few long songs that's worth the duration (plus some satisfying visuals):
unsure if I'll enter this contest, my potentials aren't very inspired currently and I my attention span barely made it through the last one.
If the song is actually doing something interesting (like say Emerald Princess), I’ll of course listen to it all.
I will never listen to 10 minutes of the same 3 second loop though, with it maybe changing up to add a different 4 second loop around the halfway mark. I’ll listen to a minute and keep skipping ahead until something has changed.
Dunno if I will enter either (not because of long songs xx), don't really have any potentials unless I dig through old ones I never quite ever liked enough to send in the past
As for long songs, I don't sit through them all if I don't like them after a couple of minutes, my attention span isn't what it used to be for BJSC and I'm not wasting 10 minutes listening to a song that goes nowhere. Sometimes I skip through to see if it changes later on but ngl most of the time they don't justify their length. Idc if it's "not fair", if I dislike a 3 or 4 minute song I tend not to listen to it all either lmao
Tbh I think I'm actually gonna make a quick Audacity snip of my song and cut off about the last 3 minutes anyway so that's a bit of a reprieve to anyone on plug.dj who hates long songs xx Not because I think the song is too long (it's not even my longest entry as it stands x) but just every time I listen to it I always think there's a bit a little bit before the end of the song that sounds like it would be a more satisfying / natural place for the song to end. Also the vocals in those last few minutes are very different to the rest of the song and... a bit more of an acquired taste ~
(I did have this same debate with myself when I sent Saor but ultimately didn't do that mainly because the harsher vocals were harder to snip out without it being very obvious that it was badly edited lol)
I don't think this will make the song appeal any more to the types of people who generally don't like long songs though so by all means still skip it if you want to. I tried to send something more widely appealing last contest and it failed spectacularly which is part of the reason that I'm gravitating to something much more niche this time
long songs can be fabulous, but there has to be a reason for the length, mood changes, stylistic variations, building to a climax, telling a story, etc all are acceptable reasons. The same thing on a loop for 8 minutes, though, isn't hypnotic or a groove, it's lazy I'll take 3 short fab songs instead.
Maybe I'll enter the whole of Tubular Bells one day, it's just one track for the whole album, that'll sort out who REALLY is prepared to sit and listen to a long song
(The single edit is perfect though, and cuts out the faffing about)
Tubular Bells already did get entered, to the Halloween spin-off and won! (though it was a shortened edit, around 4-5 minutes)
yea like if a song is 7 minutes long but doesnt feel like it because its interesting and actually has a point to being that long then fair dos but if im bored before it even gets to the "good part" then whats the point
What's the point in sending a 12-minute entry if I can't force EVERYONE to sit the whole thing through??
For the record I was only joking, not trying to discourage anyone from their song choice.
can we please not mention the monstrosity that is Mutter ever again
I once entered a 9 minute track, I guess it works in some ways if the track grabs your attention from the start.
Anyone remember this 8 mins 53 secs
i have gone for some SERIOUSLY major 80's-style synthpop
omg maybe I'll like this one xxx
For now I've confirmed something that I've found myself loving this year, sounds vaguely summery and I doubt it will appeal to many at all but I'm stuck for anything else.
Aeroche to win already tbh
Oh it’s a FLJ recycle!
(Sort of!)
omg I was literally about to say that I’ve seen the name somewhere
Confirmed, my first drag main contest entry for a while!
ffs
Gone completely the opposite direction with my reconfirmation, probs gonna flop but oh well it's stunning - Courtney Barnett vibes! Might go back to a safe bop tho
t'other double confirmation c'est moi - a new track destined to win, no-one has charted it, I kept it secret, and blow me someone beat me to it I know where my 18 points is going.... hey ho!
Back to the oldies I suppose.....
Confirmed! I've gone for a summer vibe
reconfirmed gone with a 1989 undeserved flop-ish. Let's see what a new generation thinks of it
I wonder if the other double is mine or if we have a few draggy tracks this time :')
I've switched! Put my iTunes library on shuffle today and it played something I used to adore and haven't heard for years!
I was wondering whether to give this month a miss as I'm rather busy atm, but my list of songs I want to enter is rather long. That means I don't really want to miss an opportunity to enter one of them Therefore, the Suedeonian entry (about 3 1/2 minutes long) is in.
okay I've decided
I'm coming to win
really since when did anyone like my songs other than me?
yea my only top tens, how long have i been entering this contest??? x
I wasn't going to enter this one but whaddoIknow xo. What I've confirmed has been compared to Janet Jackson and it has very vibey vibes, I'm liking it a lot at the moment I noticed a small handful of you have scrobbled the artist on last.fm and a couple have scrobbled this particular song, let's see if that translates to points.
OKAY SO. I am having some computer issues, so this contest may be a little dodgy. But I'm doing my best to get it fixed ASAP, the show will go on! Will update the confirmation list soon!
Changed to a french bop
I’m confirming really late this month, expect something tonight/tomorrow!
If I want to change my entry, do I just edit my google response? Sorry if I sound really stupid here
Brechtoria is back.
(If the song gets accepted)
Welcome back to the contest bradders *.*
Welcome back from the wilderness Bradders! ;o
(don't see why there'd be any problem with your song x)
Thanks guys!!
Gone back to Finland with our entry...
i get nervous every contest so i’m gonna ask - what’s the latest you find out if your songs been vetoed?
My song is 3 years old but otherwise pretty uninspired/well known so the veto could be me oops.
Not sure when Travis will be online again so to not delay any further this is the other veto xx
The Key Of Awesome - Hello
- Parody of Adele's "Hello". Similar situation to the Cheryl parody from previously that we got rid of. ***MOD DISCRETION***
wonder who sent this
Vülkyria has confirmed.
Foreign language folk-dance-pop. Fab.
May be a VERY late confirmation from me if I even manage to find anything!
imma get vetoed last minute and delay the whole process
sorry in advance.
Reconfirmed a bop
if u know ur gonna get vetoed why send it??? the mods still need to take the time to research it and then do the same again with ur back up, just play it safe?
I don't think ducky's song looks like a veto at all so it's probably fine xx (the above advice is true in general tho)
I couldn't bring myself to sit a contest out so I've sent something last minute. Will be my third New Zealand entry this year!
:/
Thought I already had entered 😅 confirmed a song now 🇲🇳
Buzzjack Mountain has gone for something very different to usual this time. It is hard to describe but here goes.... It is from the early 90s and is jazzy piano rock, I suppose, a little bit like Hue and Cry's classic Labour of Love in style we think, although it does sound a bit like piano house too in parts so has a little bit of a dance feel. Oh, and its also by quite a well known band.
SoundCloud seems to have made its auto-takedown bots smarter. Luckily it seems I can just upload to YouTube without buggering about with slightly changing the pitch/speed and the video stays up with the instant copyright claim just making it not monetisable (lol) so I have done that instead.
Trimmed my song down from 10:19 to a mere 5:51 x
In other news we have 60 entries now, 61 if Michael reconfirms (Meek has the power to decide if Quintessa get an AQ, or if they go through the semis but have 2 additional qualifying slots to compete for )
lmao shut up mom
Don't tell a chaotic neutral what to do I guess 🙃
this site is like 90% chaotic neutrals
Still looking for a Chaotic Good to date me, hit me up betchis xo
(anyway back to bjsc)
Wtf are chaotic neutrals
The bane of respectable lawful evil people like myself.
honestly wtf
Us Lawful Neutrals frown at this x
Buncha D&D playing nerds!
D&D spinoff when xo
I don't know what my alignment would be IRL but here: chaotic neutral, yes.
Oh crap the deadline has gone hasn’t it :/
can someone do a BJSC country alignment chart lol
are the semis coming tonight?
I guess it's probably Travis' computer issues he mentioned.
oops I didn’t confirm a song
thank GOD I confirmed a song
travis hasn't been online since wednesday - we need the semis
I've been in contact with travis on Facebook and he said his laptop wasn't turning on last night oops.
Might need to go with the contingency plan if this isn't sorted soon
EDIT: semis should be up today!
by Travis or by the contingency plan?
By Travis x
If you were going to choose a Travis song there are so many better ones. I prefer Side, Turn, Closer and especially Driftwood myself, there are plenty more too.
I chose it because Bre was writing to reach him.
It's still a great song and my favourite of the Travis songs I know.
Oh my at that appropriate Travis song
