Posted by: Riser 7th March 2015, 08:20 PM



Thanks to the 16 of you plus myself who submitted an entry! Even if you did not send a song you are still more than welcome to listen and vote.
I've expanded the voting back to a top 10 due to the higher turnout this time.

Once you’ve listened, PM me a list of your top 10 songs. Please do not vote for your own entry. The scoring will work as follows:

1. 12 points
2. 10 points
3. 8 points
4. 7 points
5. 6 points
6. 5 points
7. 4 points
8. 3 points
9. 2 points
10. 1 point

The voting deadline is Thursday March 19th Friday March 20th at 23:59. If you do not vote your song will receive a scoring deduction. I’ll give advance notice to let you know when the results are presented!

Pleased to see this up! I won't be able to listen to the songs for a few days but I'm excited for this one, or basically I'm hoping I won't do awfully like I've done the past couple of Nuggets.

Hang on weren't there 18 entries? Did someone withdraw? unsure.gif

Yes one entry was not accepted and that person chose not to provide an alternative entry.

Posted by: Chez Wombat 8th March 2015, 12:51 AM

Summer Heart were an ex BJSC act for me! I never thought his music was suited to this contest, but I guess this one fits better (though I don't like it as much as his others alas :'()

Anyway, look forward to listening! Need some more guitar music in my life.

Ah fair enough!

I've only heard one of these songs other than my own. Yay.

Posted by: FrankLuck 8th March 2015, 07:36 AM

Yay, I'll start listening today!

Just a sidenote: Thunder Clatter did make the UK top 75, as far as I remember.

Someone trying to enter Muse? ohmy.gif

Posted by: Riser 9th March 2015, 05:01 PM

Seeing no objections to Wild Cub I've gone ahead and sent MP3s to everyone and added that to the first post.

Let me know if you encounter any issues with it!

Posted by: ˇbré! 9th March 2015, 05:27 PM

I forgot that 'Thunder Clatter' had charted that high, I thought it was more like #95.

No the entry was Wolf Alice

Posted by: AntoineTTe 10th March 2015, 12:41 PM

I've only listened to 5 or 6 songs and it's already great.

Posted by: ϑЃεβϘ 10th March 2015, 05:34 PM

I have thoroughly enjoyed my two listen troughs so far.

Posted by: AntoineTTe 10th March 2015, 05:51 PM

and....


an answer to why Riser posted

'^I'd edit that post if I were you'

in case Math was wondering.

Posted by: Riser 10th March 2015, 06:07 PM

Actually, I don't think Math was referring to Wolf Alice, because it was someone else who entered their song.

That's not why I asked him to edit, anyway biggrin.gif

Posted by: JSG 10th March 2015, 06:34 PM

I have every song a snippet of a listen between yesterday and today and I'll be listening in full tomorrow and Thursday but suffice to say this might be the best edition of Nuggets I've participated in cheer.gif

Ok. Apologies for butting in.

Posted by: JSG 12th March 2015, 02:25 PM

Voted wink.gif

Posted by: Iz~ 13th March 2015, 04:13 PM

Ooh, the foreign language songs are bringing it this contest. Gĺte even singing a medieval poem according to Youtube comments!

Plus there's entries from riserecords and Century Media here, you guys are learning! biggrin.gif

Posted by: Iz~ 17th March 2015, 07:57 PM

I have voted now, a couple of days early as I realised last night I'd almost completely forgot about this, so I didn't want to get caught out by the deadline.

Posted by: AntoineTTe 18th March 2015, 11:16 AM

There's a clear favourite in this set for me.

Posted by: Riser 18th March 2015, 04:49 PM

5/17 votes received with under 36 hours to go (EDIT: now 7/17). I'm going to consider extending the deadline to Friday because it's unlikely I can host results on that day anyway. Either way I'll send out reminders tonight and let you all know!

Posted by: M¤th 20th March 2015, 02:23 PM

will be voting tonight!

Posted by: AntoineTTe 20th March 2015, 02:37 PM

I'll give them a quick final listen today and vote tonight.

Posted by: ϑЃεβϘ 20th March 2015, 05:18 PM

Finally voted.

I thoroughly enjoyed this edition.
Looking forward to the results.

When were you thinking of holding them?

I'd like to tomorrow if I have enough votes. Otherwise I might wait a few days to avoid conflicting with BJSC (and I'd extend the deadline again if so). I'll be sure to let you all know!

Posted by: ˇbré! 20th March 2015, 05:57 PM

I shall be voting tonight!

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 20th March 2015, 06:43 PM

Me too! I was going to vote last night but was grateful for the deadline as I was far too tired!

Posted by: AntoineTTe 20th March 2015, 07:21 PM

Voted. Two clear favourites.

Posted by: M¤th 20th March 2015, 10:18 PM

Votes will be two hours late due to very poor planning and a complete failure to remember I was leaving in 10 minutes ~ deduct me 15% if you want.

I'm not going to be strict about it, so don't worry. happy.gif

Posted by: Noahspike 21st March 2015, 12:54 AM

Voted! Three clear standouts and another few I'll be taking away from this. Great standard overall so looking forward to seeing what comes out on top. happy.gif

Posted by: Cody Slayberry 21st March 2015, 01:17 AM

Okay I think I knew like three of these before listening to the batch

Posted by: Riser 21st March 2015, 09:20 AM

Look for results to start between 6 PM and 7 PM UK time. I've sent out another reminder so hopefully some of the remaining votes will appear between now and then. happy.gif

Posted by: JSG 21st March 2015, 12:43 PM

v exciting!

Posted by: Conderella 21st March 2015, 01:39 PM

I'm afraid this contest wasn't as exciting as I hoped it would be! Found the selection quite boring and samey apart from a couple of standouts.

Posted by: 152chris 21st March 2015, 04:13 PM

saame. but i hath voted.

Posted by: ˇbré! 21st March 2015, 05:11 PM

This did feel a bit more samey than the previous editions. A couple of very good songs in there though.

And there was one song which at least stood out a lot but I couldn't decide if it was the best or the worst. Ended up just sticking it midtable.

Posted by: AntoineTTe 21st March 2015, 05:14 PM

I didn't find any two songs similar at all.

Posted by: Chez Wombat 21st March 2015, 05:21 PM

I did genuinely really like my top 3 here so I'm glad to take them away from this, especially as I didn't get much at all in terms of great discovieres from the other two editions I took part in.

Posted by: Riser 21st March 2015, 05:45 PM

16/17 are in now so we're nearly good to go. If only Math were to show up in the next hour or so
