Posted by: dandy* Aug 8 2018, 10:14 PM






Welcome to the Fljótavíkian jungles of Valtari

Thirty one participants have been randomly selected to reside in the Valtari Jungle and will compete in the first semi final of BJSC107

Residents must vote for their ten favourite entries from the songs submitted by their cohabitants, to do so please use the ESC scoring system of 12, 10, 08, 07, 06, 05, 04, 03, 02, 01 and submit your national votes to your host, http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?act=Msg&CODE=4&MID=54, by PM.

The deadline for voting is 23:59 on Thursday 16 August. Please don't be late or your song will face a points deduction, 15% for late voters and 33% for non voters.

You may only submit votes for the semi final location you are residing in. The nations of Fljótavík and Cowtermont will submit votes for both locations due to having the good fortune of auto qualifying for the final.

Oh hooray, Semis being up early will give me time to vote before I go away *. (I'm almost finished with my final rank anyway cos privileges and all)

Jungle is more than OK to be in (So much wub.gif for these graphics)

Posted by: Dobbo Aug 8 2018, 10:45 PM

Big hype for the FARC entry, had that down as a potential myself - will certainly be a huge contender I would think (and hope!)

Riton showing up again - I think I preferred this one to Fake ID.

Posted by: dandy* Aug 8 2018, 10:49 PM

ps y'all... mp3 packs will follow soon but not before tomorrow evening at the earliest. I'll edit in the packs plus spotify and youtube etc in the second post once they're done (Dan & Bray, please do feel free to make them as usual if you don't mind - thank you both if you do!)

Posted by: Bré Aug 8 2018, 10:58 PM

This looks absolutely beautiful once again ahhh. wub.gif (are all the cities in Fljótavík also named after Sigur Rós songs? x)

I think this looks like a decent enough semi for my song! Curious to see if anyone else already knows of it, Lew did when I sent it in as my 90s choice for the 90s vs. 00s spinoff, it's from a pretty highly critically acclaimed album although not a commercially successful one.

Three songs I have already heard in this semi (that I recognise from the titles anyway) and I'm not really that big a fan of any of those iirc so hoping that's not a bad omen! I think I do remember Jeff playing 1788-L on plug and me liking it rather a lot though ;o

Will try and knock together some YT playlists tonight!

While putting this together I found that Deandria's entry is actually credited to 'Gabriela Robin' so I was going to say it turns out it's not a self-recycle after all... but then I looked that up and it turned out that's just an alias of Yoko Kanno laugh.gif (it's not on Spotify under either name unfortunately, although it is on iTunes x)

Wow, the presentation is so beautiful, I feel like I'm at Eden Project again heehee.gif

You may remember but I listened to it during that contest!

Yeah I was confused at that myself after I saw the song under 'Gabriela Robin' on iTunes but I think Yoko uses that name when she sings on one of her compositions! Another smaller and more insignificant confusion is that sometimes it's tagged as 'Cyber Bird', two words, which for the more precise of us may be slightly annoying but I think I saw it as one word more often and to me that's nicer tongue.gif

Haha great promo, yeah I’m OK with that. I’ll probably need a little time to see how all this works. I was just curious about the Sigur Rós titles tbh.

I've seen them live too. #showoff

Thank you happy.gif

And no it hasn't, in fact only Mílanó, Ísjaki and Valtari currently 'exist'. I actually have no idea where anything is going this contest after this very moment, I very much do things on spontaneity so the final could be one big old mess yet as I have no graphics concept for it at all!

Another solid Semi - 3 clear tracks head & shoulders above the rest.

Posted by: Bré Aug 13 2018, 10:24 PM

Will do a plug session for this semi around the usual 8-8:30pm time tomorrow (Tuesday)! Don't expect it to start on time like semi 2 did xx

Posted by: Mattias Aug 14 2018, 04:03 AM

Voted at this ridiculous hour. I have to say, the semi kept me entertained through these late night hours, it was one of the more interesting semis. Some really cool electronic vibes and some pretty unique gems <3

Happening now!! More ppl join pls

(we have like 10 people but there were more last night x)

Posted by: Gríma Wormtongue Aug 14 2018, 08:10 PM

Whenever I see the word Jungle on this thread title after clicking 'view new posts', I tend to think of the genre 'jungle' rather than the jungle with the trees!

If I would have known about the full title of this semi before entering, I probably would have searched for a jungle song to enter, even though Buzzjack Mountain could have been in the other semi!

Posted by: gooddelta Aug 14 2018, 08:51 PM

Voted. My 12 is something that's been a potential of mine for a little while, intrigued to see how it performs!

Not much I absolutely LOVED in this semi but there was lots to like and a good amount of variety. Really liking my top five!

Posted by: Jade Aug 14 2018, 09:21 PM

This jakewild comeback is everything omg wub.gif Persephonia's best of the year so far as well, really wish I could help out my faves!

Posted by: Bré Aug 14 2018, 10:14 PM

Voting now, just the one listen this time so apols growers. I have a solid top 10 (#00274E, Deandria and Land of DW get all my hype <3) and one other worthy of points but a fairly average semi beyond that, the other one was definitely better. Can at least say this was an extremely diverse semi even if not all of the unique entries were necessarily of the best quality laugh.gif

One of the countries in my top 10 is a pretty surprising one actually ;o

Semi 1 plug stats, in screenshot form again (and so not including my woots) as I need to go do some Rate prep and whatnot ~ Not the busiest plug session ever so take with a pinch of salt (more than you always should). x

(Dobago's video didn't work the first time, ignore that - also had to have an emergency interlude after East Rukahavian due to one of my sister's rats escaping her cage, goals)







Posted by: Cody Salton Aug 15 2018, 03:56 AM

well this was a BEYOND FANTASTIC semi. managed to end up wanting to vote for over half of it and one of the songs that was an initial standout for me dropped to 11th after the plug listen. Goes to show how much those count.

LIVING for Utopia’s song and really hope it ends up doing well!

Posted by: Mattias Aug 15 2018, 09:46 AM

I was the only woot for Bhangra it seems, y'all are sleeping on an interesting, if a little screechy, pop song kink.gif

Generally the woot level seems to be unusually low this time around...

Maybe I should have turned up at the plug session last night, it probably would have been fun, apart from that woeful Pinkfong song that was chosen for the interlude of course laugh.gif. May I apologise to all who were at that plug session for how bad the music video is for Buzzjack Mountain's entry laugh.gif , awful video but great song I think! biggrin.gif

I thought about not entering it when I saw their previous song had been entered, however I think that one is by far the weakest of the four they've released together, so am hopeful this might do better. I came 15th in the two things I entered earlier this year, I'd be delighted to beat that.

Wasn't overly impressed with the overall quality of this semi but I do love the songs that will receive my top 3 votes.

Posted by: dandy* Aug 15 2018, 09:41 PM

Thanks for all the votes so far, if I've received them your number should be in red...


I'm not going to get chance to do reminders this evening folks so please don't forget that the deadline is 23:59 TOMORROW (Thursday)

Posted by: dandy* Aug 16 2018, 06:44 PM

Only 10 more votes to go - come on folks, let's have a full house please!

Not the best semi ever, but I'm pretty happy with my top 10 xx

Also voted, the first half of the semi is so much better than the other half. happy.gif

Posted by: dandy* Aug 16 2018, 09:02 PM

Reminders out to those that haven't voted.

I had originally intended to do that yesterday but work got in the way I'm afraid... As I didn't get them out, I will accept late votes up until 3pm tomorrow but your entry will have to still receive the 15% deduction if they are later than 23:59 tonight. I hope that's fair! happy.gif

Posted by: dandy* Aug 16 2018, 09:53 PM

jake of the wild variety, noah and Yu left to vote... am off to get some sleep now so hopefully their votes will be waiting when I wake!

Posted by: Bré Aug 17 2018, 12:25 PM

Have just noticed that Dobago's act are currently in the random obscure artist promo slot on Kworb thinking.gif (albeit with a different song).

Aside: I ended up finding time to listen to all these songs a second time after all and there's one song I really wish I'd voted for now so praying it doesn't end up a few points off qualifying oops. (I'd be surprised if it's even that close tbh though)
