Apologies for the delay. Results will be on Tuesday.

You'll all be pleased to hear that everyone managed to get more than 20 points. No-one managed more than 100 points and it's a very, very tight competition.

How many people voted in the end?

Posted by: Dandy* Nov 11 2013, 11:02 AM

Excellent - will try to be here to see them unfold.

Posted by: 152chris Nov 11 2013, 03:25 PM

honestly there are only TWO who i would love to see win, and one of them is my own.

hyped.

Posted by: Dandy* Nov 11 2013, 03:27 PM

Mine had better be the other one then...(!)

Chez Wombat next - the current, and considerably in the lead, front runner, unable to vote for his own entry could be his undoing this early in the competition.

But it doesn't do him any harm....

Posted by: Dandy* Nov 12 2013, 09:20 PM

I've listened to all of these again since voting and I think my top 3 ended up clear of the rest, hope one of those (or mine, naturally!) wins.

Posted by: 152chris Nov 12 2013, 09:21 PM

GOING WELL.....

Posted by: AnthonyT Nov 12 2013, 09:22 PM

Eyes with the em, er, fiesty Fight keeps A Thousand Falls in the lead by a solitary point, Neverblue catching up fast.

And now everyone has points with IC1's Whack Jack getting a much needed boost away from the bottom of the pile.

Surprisingly consistent points for my track, nice to see.

Couldn't find a clear winner when I was listening, points seem to suggest the same.

Posted by: 152chris Nov 12 2013, 09:24 PM

Can only remember where my 12 went! And have a sneaky feeling they belonged to Horatio

Posted by: Horatio Nov 12 2013, 09:25 PM

Heh my entries can be somewhat predictable..

Posted by: Dandy* Nov 12 2013, 09:26 PM

Oh that might be the same as my 12 also then... I can see Horatio having sent that.

Posted by: AnthonyT Nov 12 2013, 09:27 PM

152387263432chris up next with his Flashguns.

Keeping A Thounsand Falls in the lead and pushing KHUSHI up to joint 3rd, his own Flashguns languishing in the 17th place.

That's a song that I've been wanting to send to a contest here ever since the BEGINNING and look how it's doing

blame the rubbish mp3~

Posted by: AnthonyT Nov 12 2013, 09:32 PM

Bré/Bray/Brazzier submits his votes giving full marks to The Minds of 99 - the first time it gets full marks from anyone putting it in joint first place with A Thousand Falls.

Brett-B steps up to hand over his points giving the Top 2 five and six points respectively - putting The Minds of 99 ahead by 1 but KHUSHI making up lost ground also.

Which was the one that sounded like Mumford & Sons again?

Posted by: 152chris Nov 12 2013, 09:37 PM

(i would check but reflektor is being held hostage on my speakers by the flatmates...)

Posted by: Dandy* Nov 12 2013, 09:37 PM

Was it Findlay?

Posted by: Horatio Nov 12 2013, 09:37 PM

Sounded like is an understatement, almost thought it was Mumford & Sons with a slightly distorted vocal...

Posted by: AnthonyT Nov 12 2013, 09:37 PM

Cal gives all of the Top 3 points stretching their lead but The Minds of 99 gains the most.

I think it was the Natterjacks that sounded like M&S (incidentally, have M&S been approached to do the M&S ad?)

Posted by: Dandy* Nov 12 2013, 09:39 PM

Oh it WAS. Apologies Findlay (especially as I think I liked that one!)

Clearly some of these left less impression on me than even I had realised.

Posted by: 152chris Nov 12 2013, 09:42 PM

AND findlay were just dnqers in BJSC weren't they? can tell you're a fan....!

Posted by: Cal Nov 12 2013, 09:42 PM

There'll be killings if I finish last, I tellz ye! (thanks for the points tho!)

Posted by: AnthonyT Nov 12 2013, 09:42 PM

The Doctor fails to be impressed by the Minds of 99 and chooses instead to award 65daysofstatic full points.

And Flashguns get more points

Dirty Youth's Fight putting up a, fight also, holding close to third placed KHUSHI.

oh this GRIP that dr. blind has on my 12s/20s is just getting ridiculous now!

Posted by: Dandy* Nov 12 2013, 09:45 PM

Now I liked Deerhunter but thought it was a touch obvious... same for 65daysofstatic for that matter.

Posted by: AnthonyT Nov 12 2013, 09:45 PM

But Dandy* redresses the situation, ignoring the AMAZING A Thousand Falls (my faves could always) in favour of those pre-millenial Minds.

Posted by: Eyes Nov 12 2013, 09:48 PM

Not doing badly so far! Yay. I was hoping it wouldn't put TOO many people off.

I can barely remember most of these. Not surprised to see The Minds of 99 winning though.

Posted by: Dandy* Nov 12 2013, 09:49 PM

Minds of 99 was by far my favourite... feeling bad for CW though now!

Posted by: AnthonyT Nov 12 2013, 09:50 PM

Jáhq gives a leg up to what's been hastily ignore my my commentary so far, Tribes' How the Other Half Live.

Grebo also favours those Tribes over everyone else giving fig all to the Minds or the Falls helping it storm into second place - the dark horse.

Deerhunter making up for lost time too.

And another little point to Flashguns!

I don't like the way everyone is catching up with KHUSHI!

(which remains a LOVELY song. The video makes me sad)

Posted by: AnthonyT Nov 12 2013, 09:55 PM

Only three sets of points left. Mathematically speaking anyone in the Top 10 could still take it.

Posted by: Cal Nov 12 2013, 09:56 PM

I'd very much be behind a Det er knud win. Such a good song and one of the few that I can remember! Thanks for the pointage as well, Grebo - hoping it keeps me off last place!

Posted by: Horatio Nov 12 2013, 09:56 PM

I have a very strong feeling my lack of voting will be my own undoing here.

Posted by: AnthonyT Nov 12 2013, 09:58 PM

It being so close you could have put anyone else ahead too.

It would all depend on what other songs you like.

Feel free to say which of the Top 10 you like

Posted by: *Bré Nov 12 2013, 10:02 PM

I see 65dos have been fairly ~dividing~, barely got anything besides high scores.

The Minds Of 99 would be a great winner. Chris, I've known that Flashguns song for ages already (the only one I'd heard before the contest). I slightly penalised it for that, would maybe have got 10 points otherwise.

Posted by: AnthonyT Nov 12 2013, 10:03 PM

Harve up next, awarding everyone in the Top 5 some points but 65daysofstatic get the 12.

But with 24 points at maximum available it is now a three horse race.

3 The Minds of 99 - Det er Knud som er død
2 Dead Sara - Weatherman 
1 KHUSHI - Magpie

Posted by: Eyes Nov 12 2013, 10:05 PM

Either of the top 2 would be a great winner. Now I just have to beat Bré.

I only realised this halfway through the contest - but that's because it was on that CD Chris sent me ages ago. I didn't penalise it for that because I could barely remember it (although that's moot because I didn't vote for it oops).

Posted by: Horatio Nov 12 2013, 10:07 PM

Not entirely sure how I would have voted, but both of the other songs in top3 would definitely have been up there, so in the end it probably wouldn't have mattered.

Posted by: AnthonyT Nov 12 2013, 10:09 PM

It's Mr FurCoat who's Tribes proving the best challenge of the Top spot but alas gives his opponent 4 points allowing the Minds of 99 to leapfrog ahead by 2 points.

Findlay getting 12 and Flashguns getting 10

1 The Natterjacks - Dark Days

Posted by: AnthonyT Nov 12 2013, 10:12 PM

...and finally.

¿ DESCONTENTO ? gives full points to A Thousand Falls, 8 ppoints to Tribes but controversially zero points to The Minds of 99.

The 12 point deduction was academic - Horiatio's Minds of 99 would have ended up in 3rd place either way.


Congratulations to RabbitFurCoat who takes the BuzzJack Nuggets trophy!

Posted by: Dandy* Nov 12 2013, 10:14 PM

Ah well done RFC, you've won something!!!

Posted by: AnthonyT Nov 12 2013, 10:16 PM

Lost is bloody amazing from the moment I heard the verse I knew I'd love it. Thanks Chez Wombat for introducing it to my life.

Posted by: Eyes Nov 12 2013, 10:25 PM

Congratulations RFC, lovely winner.

7th is a very good result for myself, yay. (shame I couldn't beat those pesky 65daysofstatic people)

Posted by: *Bré Nov 12 2013, 10:33 PM

Oh, Tribes is quite a disappointing winner. Ah well. Well done RFC.

Beating Iz once again. Sweet victoire.

Posted by: Chez Wombat Nov 12 2013, 11:04 PM

You're very welcome, thanks for hosting this!

Thanks guys, I really didn't expect to come so close to winning! Lost is one of my favorite songs this year and probably wouldn't have gone down that well in UP or BJSC at all so very pleased.

I remember quite liking Tribes and I gave it points so yay for that. The only one I honestly really liked was Deerhunter though, glad that finished top 5.

Posted by: Jáhq Nov 12 2013, 11:44 PM

YES. I didn't care for many of these so it's great to see Tribes win, my easy favourite (and these things hardly go my way in BJSC anymore in terms of winners, makes a nice change)

Pleased to have *just* avoided last but not at all disappointed with the result (or the shade). Even I don't like The Natterjacks that much, they just both went to my school (where everyone seemingly loves them! ) so I wanted to share it but not through BJSC

Posted by: ¿ DESCONTENTO ? Nov 13 2013, 12:02 AM

Ha, my one point for Tony denied me on top 10. Damn the running order looking like Neverblue might win it at one point - I thought sending a catchy Paramore clone would be a good tactic.

Great winner though, and thanks for doing this Tony. Now you're obviously all discerning types so why not click on my sig and have a go at a little rate in Perspectives?

Posted by: mango Nov 13 2013, 10:51 AM

What do I win for coming last?

I did rush my choice in the end and I knew my track was a bit too indie for a rock/metal competition, I probably should have spent a bit more time picking a more suitable rock song. Oh well, thanks to RFC for introducing me to the briliant Tribes song anyway!

Posted by: Doctor Blind Nov 13 2013, 04:32 PM

Well done to RFC!

It would have been nice to see my 20 win, but I expected a couple of people not voting it because it was too well known. Thanks for running this Tony, and a small YAY at beating Dandy by 1 point.

Posted by: Grebo Nov 13 2013, 05:57 PM

Can't believe I completely missed the results!

Good contest everyone. I didn't know the Deerhunter track (tho of course I know Deerhunter!) so I gave it good marks.

Great winner but the biggest mystery is how that tripe ended up at #3. The only track I gave a big fat zero to when I was rating them.

Posted by: Severin Nov 13 2013, 07:13 PM

Unfortunately I missed it all too. A friend turned up and wanted to go the the pub so what could I do? Anyway congrats to RFC. Happy with that and happy with my 8th. Knew it wouldn't win but as always just wanted to give exposure to something I like.
Well done to Tony too. Brilliantly done and a much needed new feature in the forum.
Hope we'll do another one in the not too distant future.

Posted by: Grebo Nov 13 2013, 07:52 PM

I would love another run at this soon as I got more out of this than the last 3 or 4 Unknown Pleasures.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat Nov 14 2013, 08:08 PM

Well I wasn't expecting that, it's about time I did alright in one of these things given how utterly hopeless I've been in UP this year! I must admit I didn't really care much for anything past my top 6 but there was some decent stuff in here.

Posted by: AnthonyT Nov 14 2013, 08:12 PM

If falls to you to host the next one or pass it on to the baying crowd.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat Nov 16 2013, 09:02 PM

I'll quite happily host another edition if there's interest in one. I can send the song I'd considered changing to but didn't get round to doing

Posted by: *Bré Nov 16 2013, 10:18 PM

If there's another one of these I'll actually have to search for something, eek. 'Retreat! Retreat!' was just a song I wanted to send to one of these things one day and it seemed appropriate.

Not saying I don't want another one of course!

Posted by: AnthonyT Jan 16 2014, 07:14 PM

Time for more gold.

Posted by: Thomsen Jan 16 2014, 07:18 PM

I think this one suits me more than UP.. I'd be happy to participate of this was done again.

Posted by: †Pavel Jan 16 2014, 07:22 PM

Ooh I never noticed this. I am definitely taking part in the next one. Hoing to be easier to notice it since rock is now with indie

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat Jan 16 2014, 07:43 PM

Am I still hosting the next as winner?

I'll set this up in the next few days, with the aim of having the songs up for listening the first week of February.

Posted by: Chez Walrus Jan 16 2014, 07:59 PM

I think I have a song for this, slightly more 'commercial' than last time, so I'd imagine I won't be doing as well this time! Seems so weird I actually finished 2nd on a song contest here, seems unthinkable in BJSC/UP!

Posted by: AnthonyT Jan 16 2014, 08:15 PM

You are indeed.

Posted by: Grebo Jan 16 2014, 09:28 PM

Hooray! Looking forward to this.

Posted by: Severin Jan 16 2014, 09:43 PM

Yes! Count me in

Posted by: *Bré Jan 16 2014, 10:47 PM

Glad to see this is still going ahead! Must look for a song since I don't just have one off the top of my head this time.
