Hi! Welcome to the Pavlandia, the country of countless brackets and Danish people speaking weird languages!
So this evening imma announce around 20 sets of results containing 1-15 points. That's right, NO 20's today, and they are to be announced tomorrow separately from the other marks.
And now for a couple of rules:
*Do NOT reveal your entry if I haven't done it myself.
*Do NOT reveal your votes nor who you gave your 20-pointer to.
Other than that feel free to speculate, predict who's going to do well and who is not!
Starting at 7pm.
PavLePav.

I'm seeing either an Air France or Karl X Johan victory. I'm seeing a bottom five finish for myself.

SINGERSEN - DRUNK
First set of votes. Nothing to be concrete about at this stage, but Walk The Moon gets their first 15.
Also, I've mixed 'Anna Sun' and 'Walk The Moon' up, it will be fixed after the 17th vote.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 16th July 2011, 06:15 PM
I can't say I'm enjoying 'Anna Sun' being at the top. It was a song which I quite liked to start with but dropped significantly down my order every time I listened to them all.

So it was Brett-Butler who sent Gone. And it was indeed good since even Shakilover gave points to it! Anyway, big points go to Capital Cities who rocket to the top and to Islands who received the first points of the night. It's not however that satisfying to start this high and end up bottom 5.

Second 10 goes to Teengirl Fantasy and the huge 15 points are directly delivered to gooddelta who seems to be underestimating his entry. The Top 2 is still intact and untouched by the vote.

And it was Dandy* who sent the No Love track which rather ironically feels no love from y'all.
With these votes we're seeing 15 points for Grimes, and a return of a favour for Cremey!
Is it bad that I know who entered which song by heart, by the way?
Posted by: Mart!n 16th July 2011, 07:34 PM
To be fair we don't really know who is #1 for sure it could be anyone in the top 10, for example Kark X Johan could have had a few 20 points already, so in a way Pavel has added some spice to the voting.

Posted by: Thomsen 16th July 2011, 08:15 PM
I like the way it's done. But as i wrote before and does make it a bit hard to make the small discussions that usually are here along with the results. Can't really express the joy of my favorite song since it's hidden - I usually can when my entry is revealed but not this time. The top pointers are the ones to be discussed the most and we can't really do that this time hence the - in comparison to the other competitions - minor inactivity among the participants.
At least that's the way I feel about it. Really great job though, Pavel. It really is.

I know what you mean, I'd planned to send Young Blood by The Naked & Famous to one of the BJSC contests this time last year but withdrew my confirmation at the last minute after I'd seen that it had been entered into and won Unknown Pleasures. Would have been a bit of a hollow victory for me had it done well in BJSC knowing that half of the participants would have discovered it here first.

Islands and Air France are indeed both amazing tracks... I too stuck to my rule of not awarding points to tracks that I'm really familiar with. The Air France album was in my top 10 of 2008 while Rough Gem was one of my top 10 of 2006 so I just couldn't give them points in a contest where the standard was higher than usual.

Posted by: Horatio 16th July 2011, 11:22 PM
I'm actually a bit surprised by the lack of love for my entry, thought it'd blow the competition away. Also the lack of love for No Love and Photograph strikes me, both were definitely among the better tracks in my opinion. Safe and sound sounded slightly generic to me on the other hand, but seems to be doing well (I did love the 0:33-0:40 part though).
Anyways I like the way the table is set up, though I'm not sure the "not revealing 20points" bit is as good as expected, makes the initial revealed points seem somewhat less important. (and as Thomsen says, prohibits us from expressing our love for favourite tracks.)

I wasn't sure what else I could discuss, I don't want to give away where my 20 points went by discussing that track (even though I do think my 20 pointer will win in the end)... it's difficult to talk about anything other than your own track under these rules without potentially giving clues away to everyone else that could spoil Pavel's plans for the results.

Aw, I liked "No Love" a lot - I can't give away how many points I gave it (because my votes have yet to be revealed) but it was more than 0, and less than 21.
I'm a bit shocked at how the results are panning out so far to be honest, but I expect quite a dramatic turnaround once the 20s are given out - I think three are around 3-5 songs that aren't even Top 10 that I would expect or think are likely to be there when all's said and done.

Oh no, I'm not surprised at the results at all. They've been left in mid-air with still a lot to be revealed.

I discovered Austra about a month ago. My friend played me Lose It which I really liked. The vocals were very striking so I downloaded the album. Always on the look out for songs to submit to UP I set about getting to know it and after a few days The Choke started to emerge as my favourite. It's really Depeche Mode in places and it's exactly the kind of simple riff that I want to create when making retro electro pop stiff.

My favourite off the Austra album is Beat and the Pulse which I think is much better than Lose It. In fact that's probably the most annoying song on the album. Find the vocals started to grate after a while. Really like The Choke though and IIRC gave it points.
My top 12 were such a lottery. I could have chosen them in quite literally any order.
Posted by: SKOB 17th July 2011, 12:06 PM
Austra are an interesting band and remind me of The Knife a bit.. I do prefer Lose It to The Choke though.
My choice (Rubik) was pretty obvious as I wanted to enter something Finnish and a proper pop song. If you like Laws of Gravity, please listen to World Around You which perhaps lacks the twist of LoG but is a great song nevertheless.

West sees pretty much no love for the track he sent. Before the voting started I honestly thought the song could pick up many big pointers.
Tirren gets a lift off from the bottom 5 and Ellie and the Oscars are ridiculously close to the top spot!

Ghosty gets a huge boost which brings him right into the centre of the scoreboard - neither cold nor hot. Air France receive points to extend the lead but Austra are not resting having picked up the full 12.

'Anna Sun' was another song which I didn't think that much of, sounded like typical pop-rock that gets quite annoying after a few listens.

FREEZE and CAL distribute their top marks for the current leader, extending their lead even more, and The Storm, who have climbed into the Top 10 again, respectively. Air France so far haven't received a single top mark!

Amy Needs A Vacation
It was the standout song when I listened to them the first time and continued to grow. It's possibly my second favourite UP discovery, oddly enough behind 'The Kiss' which was song Cremey entered the only other time he participated. You need to enter more often!

Karl X Johan would've received top points from me if the song was "Fantasies". I didn't give "Flames" any points because, although it was still very good, it just didn't stand out enough for me.

The Storm STORM into the Top 3 due to the help of Ghosthunter and poor forgotten by everybody Syntax gets a 20-point boost.
Posted by: Mart!n 17th July 2011, 07:37 PM
I was holding steady inside the top 10 for a while and now I'm practically mid table, could do with the odd 20 points I'll be happy with triple figures.
Posted by: Hitstastic 17th July 2011, 07:38 PM
Ghosty!!! This is potentially my most successful UP entry to date. Then again, I could easily fall out of the top 10 as other tracks keep getting 20 points (or low top 10 perhaps).
Posted by: Dandy* 17th July 2011, 07:38 PM

Congrats to Ryan. Deserved winner too, my favourite.
It was the standout song when I listened to them the first time and continued to grow. It's possibly my second favourite UP discovery, oddly enough behind 'The Kiss' which was song Cremey entered the only other time he participated. You need to enter more often!
Thanks for the 20- and glad you liked it so much!
No idea you liked 'The Kiss' so much too! I will try to enter more but I often can't find songs that I think will be good enough to compete with everyone else's. Discovered some great songs this time though so will definitely try to participate next time!

Really strange. Must have grown on me alot since I recall giving it the points it deserves - more than one for sure
Oh that's fine! Although I only got a point, not points.
Nah, seriously, it finished 11th which is so close to top 10 that I can't be too disappointed and there were three people who loved it enough to include it in their top 2 - the aim is to send something that some people love so that does me just fine.
Posted by: ▲▲▲ 17th July 2011, 08:36 PM
None of the songs I liked finished inside the top ten. :/ 'No Love' is brilliant! The production towards the end especially.
Posted by: Dandy* 17th July 2011, 08:46 PM
Glad you loved 'No Love', I agree that the production is great and it's musically that I was really attracted to it also... the lyrics are kinda Human League-esque which appeals to me as I've got a soft spot for the 80s but I can see why they wouldn't appeal to others.
Posted by: Doctor Blind 17th July 2011, 09:04 PM
Wahoo! Excellent winner. As I said earlier in the thread "Flames" along with "Tamer Animals" and "No Love" were by clearly by far the best tracks there - but the standard elsewhere was still high and consistent which made ordering the rest of the tracks quite difficult.
I am very pleasantly surprised to have done as well as I did, especially after Grebo's comments in the thread earlier. I don't take any notice of BJSC whatsoever (save for anything that crosses over to the main forum) so it was an unfortunate coincidence that I ended up picking (out of my shortlist of 10!) the one track that had already been entered on BJSC.. but it turned out that it was a good choice anyway.
Thanks to Pavel for running UP6 - making the results really exciting, and here's to UP7 with ▲▲▲!!
Posted by: alin 17th July 2011, 09:04 PM

Posted by: grebo69 17th July 2011, 09:19 PM
Oh and one more thing. Much as Pavel has done a great job hosting, please don't follow his method of revealing the votes. Sorry Pav but it's been great apart from that.
Posted by: Suedehead2 17th July 2011, 09:23 PM
It added a good twist - particularly as my favourite song came from nowhere to grab third place - but it did stifle discussion a little bit. Maybe it could be done the other way round with the top six scores revealed first followed by the bottom six scores.
Of course Ryan may have a new twist up his sleeve
Posted by: Dandy* 17th July 2011, 09:30 PM
Again, no offence Pavel, but this method did mean you could see the winner a mile off if you knew a few things about the posters involved. You can tell who is likely to vote for what by their 15-01 points compared to what similar people have voted for which meant that you could tell Ryan was likely to have received about 6 maximum scores.
Aside from that very minor thing, the edition was a great one though so well done Pav.
Obviously Ryan will now be spending the next couple of months ensuring that UPVII is the prettiest edition ever.
Posted by: Cal 17th July 2011, 09:37 PM
I didn't know Tirren entered Rebecca & Fiona in UP5 until after confirmation closed, so I kinda knew then that it wouldn't set the scoreboard alight given that it wasn't that successful in the previous contest. I should've checked before I assumed Rebecca & Fiona were 'unknown' to Buzzjack. My mistake, and I have lots of ideas for the next contest.
Posted by: Hitstastic 17th July 2011, 09:44 PM
I've already discovered two tracks and contemplating using one of them in UP#7. It's nothing like The Storm but hopefully would be a track people enjoy nonetheless.
Posted by: Horatio 17th July 2011, 09:51 PM
Hooray for Earth seem to have jinxed themselves a bit when they chose the title. Just about half the voters have now mentioned how it deserved better, yet it ended at a measely 11th. (I'm no better myself, loved it yet still only gave 7 points)

Where my points have gone!
I put this together over the weekend, to see who I've given my points to. I increased the points from the first two to make them consistent with the 12 song scoring we've had since.
If anyone else wants to compile one of these, I'm happy to upload the spreadsheet I have with the scoreboards of UP1-4 in to make it easier.

Before this contest only one person had finished in the same position two contests running (Daniel II - 24th), me, Tyron and Zechhh all finished UP6 in the same position as UP5! I have bolded new peaks.
You keep forgetting grebo and Harve
Tyron actually finished 18th, and Cremey - 17th.
Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 18th July 2011, 10:39 AM
Oh dear!
I was going off my points spreadsheet, which must mean I'd made mistakes on there with Grebo and Harve as the only one I had on there was Daniel with two 7's. That was rushed and confusing when I did it before, I've since made it correct and more simple this morning.
Did they? So the leaderboard changed after the final 20 pointers were posted? Edit: No, I must have just rushed it!
Posted by: HUMOURless 18th July 2011, 12:07 PM
You know what I'd like to see - and I know it wouldn't be easy - but to see who likes whos entries over the six competitions. Someone, was it Mikey or Thomsen, said that I seem to like their entries.
edit - it would be a "where my points have gone" for the most regular participants.
Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 18th July 2011, 04:49 PM
I could certainly do it, but it may take a while....
Posted by: HUMOURless 18th July 2011, 04:49 PM
You could send me the spreadsheet and I could do it.

That chart is really interesting. You clearly really like or dislike my entries
I know this is lazy as well but I can't remember what I entered for the UP 2 or 3. I know one was Q-Lazzarus but could you remind me of the other? Thanks in advance
Posted by: ▲▲▲ 18th July 2011, 05:11 PM
It's interesting how Doctor Blind entered something he wouldn't necessarily vote for and still finished within the top five - I did the same during UP3 and it was pretty much universally hated.

Chapel Club I believe. Although I do think I rated that higher at the time than I do now. Q Lazzarus is still great though!
Posted by: HUMOURless 18th July 2011, 08:30 PM
You couldn't do one where we see who game me votes over the last 6 rounds?
Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 18th July 2011, 09:06 PM
I haven't done the last one as Dandy never posted a scoreboard. Do you want me to send you the spreadsheet with 1-4 on it? I don't mind doing it but from what you've said you're better at spreadsheets and could probably find an easier way of doing it than me.
Posted by: Dandy* 18th July 2011, 09:54 PM
So I didn't, I really have no idea why. :/
Unfortunately I no longer use the same computer so I can't get a copy of it now either[/awkward flop host]
Posted by: HUMOURless 18th July 2011, 09:59 PM
Thanks. That table's just fine.
By the way, if you're using a pivot table to do this then you're already using the best method.
Posted by: Daniel II 18th July 2011, 10:54 PM
Congrats to Triangles, Flames is a great song that just missed out on points for me. I must say that I'm disappointed Hoop Dreams only managed #20; just saw the video for it, and it's as wonderfully bat$h!t crazy as the song. Also, I couldn't help noticing that Larraine had a similar melody to Lykke Li's Jerome, loved the song nonetheless.
I'm glad that people seemed to enjoy Reprise, it's my personal favourite entry to date, I adore that piece of music. I am gradually inching my way up the scorebored, although I'm completely out of ideas of what to send to the next contest, normally I have a good idea of what to enter even at this stage.
Posted by: Pavel 20th July 2011, 01:53 PM
I must say that No Love grew on me a LOT. Good news is that even if i gave it more points it'd still not help the placing of the song!
Posted by: Cremey 20th July 2011, 04:52 PM
Amazing that I'm (joint) first in getting points from you despite only entering two contests!
I think my next entry (whatever it will be) can only be a disappointment for you now!

When is too soon for this? I'm thinking of late September.
Posted by: Doctor Blind 26th July 2011, 10:09 PM
Well here's the timeline of all Unknown Pleasures so far..
I: July 2010
II: September 2010
III: November 2010
IV: January 2011
V: March 2011
VI: July 2011
So I think late September/early October would be fine!

Dandy*! I haven't been able to listen to anything other than the Hooray for Earth album this week! So good.

Woah, the gap between V and VI is quite big

True
Posted by: Dandy* 27th July 2011, 09:36 PM
This sentence makes me very glowy.
I really like the album too, am amazed that there hasn't been more hype around them as they are arty/commercial enough to be reasonably popular in a small indie band kinda way.
Posted by: Horatio 12th August 2011, 09:30 AM
Who do I need to bribe to get accepted into the BuzzJack Alternative group on last.fm? Have had my application pending for ages.
Posted by: Tom *.* Kay 12th August 2011, 09:32 AM
More importantly when is this starting again?
Posted by: Dandy* 12th August 2011, 09:44 AM
I think Emily Haines set up the Last FM group and she doesn't really ever frequent Buzzjack these days, you could try PMing her on Last FM as she may respond...
Posted by: tonyttt31 15th August 2011, 06:47 AM
I was just looking at the sales for I Need a Dollar and I was wondering how many tracks from Unknown Pleasures went on to be hits?
Posted by: grebo69 15th August 2011, 09:20 AM
I think Foster The People is the only other one.
Posted by: Severin 15th August 2011, 09:25 AM
Didn'y Grouplove chart then? Surprised if it didn't
Posted by: Thomsen 15th August 2011, 11:57 AM
Naked And Famous.
Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 15th August 2011, 12:00 PM
Young Blood was a top 75 hit. Hello is the second most successful after I Need a Dollar. I don't think anything other than those four have gone on to make the top 75.
Posted by: 152chris 18th August 2011, 12:34 AM
If the next one starts when I'm on holiday I will be PISSSED
Posted by: ▲▲▲ 18th August 2011, 01:59 AM
I'm thinking probably the 2nd of October... Post the songs on the 9th and then the results on either the 23rd or 29th (depending on how quickly people vote or if they want an extra week with the songs to decide). I have a few hectic weeks towards the end of September, but I'm sure waiting until October isn't so bad.
Posted by: 152chris 18th August 2011, 01:29 PM
Oh good, that's fine, I was worried it would be beginning of september. I MAY already have a song sorted as well
Posted by: tonyttt31 18th August 2011, 01:30 PM
Pissed drunk?
Posted by: tonyttt31 18th August 2011, 01:30 PM
I must start digging around for a song to enter.
Posted by: SKOB 9th September 2011, 08:35 AM
I have fantastic songs but they might be too poppy for this. Might look a bit further.
Posted by: gooddelta 10th September 2011, 09:46 AM
Just found a brilliant song/artist to enter to this! Too dark/experimental for BJSC but perfect for this I think
Posted by: Tom *.* Kay 10th September 2011, 10:11 AM
Hope it's not what I'm thinking of sending
Posted by: gooddelta 10th September 2011, 10:24 AM
I seriously doubt it! I can't say too much though...
Posted by: Tom *.* Kay 10th September 2011, 10:28 AM
Hmmm, OK. I guess it's not like BJSC where we could PM each other our entries in secret... Not that we would, of course
Posted by: gooddelta 10th September 2011, 10:34 AM
Of course
I only say I doubt it would be the same because of *where* I discovered the artist, I don't think that their profile could be any lower so I'd be incredibly surprised if anybody else had heard of them!
Posted by: Mart!n 10th September 2011, 11:03 AM
I found a perfect track for this as well, it be so out of place on BJSC and probably get lost.
Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 10th September 2011, 11:12 AM
The act I was going to send has had their profile on here raise too much I think, which has pleased me at the same time disappointed me.
Posted by: Tom *.* Kay 10th September 2011, 12:27 PM
Los Campesinos!?
(I'm not being incredulous, that's just how you spell it )
Posted by: ▲▲▲ 10th September 2011, 12:28 PM
Same. Disappointing!
Posted by: 152chris 10th September 2011, 12:30 PM
When I first started looking, it seemed like EVERY act I wanted to send already had some form of minor BJ following so I was not impressed. Just praying that the one I've got lined up doesn't pop up in the next few weeks (although it's quite old so I'm thinking/hoping it's unlikely)
Posted by: Tom *.* Kay 10th September 2011, 12:32 PM
My current top act don't appear to have much a following here, although I have seen them in a couple of personal charts. I don't know why, they're really good. And not Eurovision related
Posted by: Horatio 10th September 2011, 09:56 PM
Would love to go for a good indie rock/pop track as usual, but can't find anything overwhelmingly good, so reckon I'll spice things up and go for something very different.
Posted by: Thomsen 18th September 2011, 09:34 PM
That's it. Found my entry. Brilliant I tell you.
Posted by: Brett-Butler 2nd October 2011, 10:09 PM
When doth this start again? I've found the most Brett-Butlerish track to send in for this that I think would be a winner.
Posted by: ▲▲▲ 3rd October 2011, 01:21 AM
Within the next week.
Posted by: HeartRateRapid 3rd October 2011, 01:56 AM
I am going to enter this one I think.
Posted by: ▲▲▲ 8th October 2011, 12:21 PM
This is still happening, either tomorrow or early next week.
I'm just making the artwork.
Posted by: Tom *.* Kay 8th October 2011, 12:55 PM
Good to hear it, I've just found an entry that's even better than the one I've been sitting on for three months, but I can't decide if it would be better for the next BJSC...
Posted by: Mart!n 8th October 2011, 01:20 PM
Had my track for ages for this
Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 8th October 2011, 01:51 PM
I have an act I want to send but feel they're too well known, however after a quick search they've never had their own thread and have appeared in very few personal charts, and all with different songs!
Posted by: SKOB 8th October 2011, 04:19 PM
My entry might be inspired by Diane Warren
Posted by: Horatio 9th October 2011, 10:23 AM
Think I may have to change my entry due to the delay of BJ VII, with the rapidly increasing amount of youtube views my song has, it may be too wellknown soon.
Posted by: 152chris 9th October 2011, 01:54 PM
EXCITE

YOU SHALL DO NO SUCH THING.
Posted by: Cal 9th October 2011, 08:23 PM
The song I wanted to enter was used in the opening scene of a film I saw at the cinema today. Now it's popular. Rage.
Posted by: Dandy* 9th October 2011, 10:16 PM
I'll be back next weekend so it will depend how long you keep the thread open for Mr.
Posted by: Horatio 10th October 2011, 11:45 AM
Think we may have wanted to enter the same song then.
Posted by: Thomsen 10th October 2011, 02:03 PM
You might aswell reveal it then..
Posted by: Cal 10th October 2011, 02:38 PM
Is the artist French?
Posted by: Horatio 10th October 2011, 02:45 PM
Very much so indeed.
Posted by: Cal 10th October 2011, 03:02 PM
Ooops! I have a backup option, thankfully.
Posted by: Horatio 10th October 2011, 03:45 PM
I'm gonna go for the backup too, song is too wellknown by now anyway.
Posted by: Cal 11th October 2011, 08:20 AM
Yeah, it's #6 on iTunes here in France. Shame.
