I think I was like the second or third voter despite waiting over a week so excited to not have to be anonymous in the thread for too long

^And I was around the same time!
Very interested to see how these turn out, I think my 12 has a decent chance of doing well so I hope it can (and me not flopping for once would be nice too x) |

01. awardinary was behind…
Alter Bridge - Blackbird QUOTE Hi Jade, Thank you for hosting again, your plug session was a real success I felt, and great turnout too! Here’s my votes. +12 Colony House – You Know It +10 Karnataka – Secrets Of Angels +8 Shrangralas – White Gold +7 Soccer Mommy – Circle The Drain +6 Westerman – Confirmation +5 Windmaker – My Empire +4 Club Smith – Young Defeatists +3 Working Men’s Club – A.A.A.A. +2 Moaning – Fall In Love +1 FalKKone – Licht Und Schatten We begin with Wardy who is behind 'Blackbird' by Alter Bridge! They're an American rock group consisting of former members of the band Creed. They were said to be inspired by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd when creating this song. 'Blackbird' boasts a killer guitar solo, a raw vocal performance and some really emotional lyrics. The blackbird appears to represent someone they've lost in this cruel world before they were able to see the light. Powerful stuff! This is one of the longest songs in the contest as it clocks in at almost 8 minutes long. Wardy shows support to a fellow #longsongbloc member - as 'Secrets Of Angels' is his silver medal and that is easily the longest song in the contest, at 20 minutes. Colony House become our first leader tonight with SCOREBOARD 1 12 Colony House - You Know It 2 10 Karnataka - Secrets Of Angels 3 8 Shangralas - White Gold 4 7 Soccer Mommy - Circle the Drain 5 6 Westerman - Confirmation 6 5 Windwaker - My Empire 7 4 Club Smith - Young Defeatists 8 3 Working Men's Club - A.A.A.A. 9 2 Moaning - Fall In Love 10 1 FalKKonE - Licht Und Schatten 11 0 Alter Bridge - Blackbird [awardinary] 12 0 Amyl & The Sniffers - Starfire 500 13 0 BAILEN - Your Love Is All I Know 14 0 Bebe - Malo 15 0 BLOXX - Lie Out Loud 16 0 cheerbleederz - sometimes i cry at work 17 0 Club Drive - Spare Time 18 0 DI-RECT - Times Are Changing 19 0 Dogleg - Fox 20 0 Egoism - What Are We Doing? 21 0 Ellis - Shame 22 0 Folkstone - In Taberna 23 0 H.E.R.O. - Bad Blood 24 0 Kasalla - Stadt met K 25 0 Larkin Poe - Preachin' Blues 26 0 Math The Band - Four To Six 27 0 Sonata Arctica - Whirlwind 28 0 Summoning - Land Of The Dead 29 0 We The Lion - You |

02. Chez Wombat was behind…
FalKKonE - Licht Und Schatten QUOTE 12; Karnataka - Secrets of Angels 10; Working Men's Club - A.A.A.A. 08; Moaning - Fall In Love 07; Folkstone - In Taberna 06; Summoning - Land Of The Dead 05; Ellis – Shame 04; Bebe - Malo 03; Egoism - What Are We Doing? 02; BAILEN - Your Love Is All I Know 01; Amyl & The Sniffers - Starfire 500 xx Alter Bridge – Blackbird xx BLOXX - Lie Out Loud xx Larkin Poe - Preachin' Blues xx Kasalla - Stadt met K Great edition, thanks very much all! <3 Next up is Chez Wombat who is revealed to be behind ‘Licht Und Schatten’ by FalKKonE! This is a symphonic metal cover of a song from the anime Tokyo Ghoul, so an eclectic choice for sure. FalKKonE himself appears to be from Poland and specialises in these symphonic metal covers. A lady named Rena is also involved with this project as a singer and artist, but she doesn’t sing on this occasion. This entry is purely instrumental - with some epic guitar and string action! Chez is currently sitting in 16th with one point, not bad at all when there has only been one set of votes prior to his. He does not award any points back to Wardy, fellow exposed buddy, but does help some other songs off 0. Still 12 zero pointers at the moment. Chez awards Karnataka his gold, so that is easily in the lead now with two medal positions to its name. A 20 minute winner… could it happen? That would be iconic. Chez tops up Working Men’s Club and Moaning’s respective totals, sending them both into the top 5. SCOREBOARD 1 22 Karnataka - Secrets Of Angels 2 13 Working Men's Club - A.A.A.A. 3 12 Colony House - You Know It 4 10 Moaning - Fall In Love 5 8 Shangralas - White Gold 6 7 Soccer Mommy - Circle the Drain 7 7 Folkstone - In Taberna 8 6 Westerman - Confirmation 9 6 Summoning - Land Of The Dead 10 5 Windwaker - My Empire 11 5 Ellis - Shame 12 4 Club Smith - Young Defeatists 13 4 Bebe - Malo 14 3 Egoism - What Are We Doing? 15 2 BAILEN - Your Love Is All I Know 16 1 FalKKonE - Licht Und Schatten [Chez Wombat] 17 1 Amyl & The Sniffers - Starfire 500 18 0 Alter Bridge - Blackbird [awardinary] 19 0 BLOXX - Lie Out Loud 20 0 cheerbleederz - sometimes i cry at work 21 0 Club Drive - Spare Time 22 0 DI-RECT - Times Are Changing 23 0 Dogleg - Fox 24 0 H.E.R.O. - Bad Blood 25 0 Kasalla - Stadt met K 26 0 Larkin Poe - Preachin' Blues 27 0 Math The Band - Four To Six 28 0 Sonata Arctica - Whirlwind 29 0 We The Lion - You |

Suddenly Wardy's knowledge of Alter Bridge on plug.dj makes sense
 Chez being behind the only instrumental of the contest, who'd have predicted  (naturally also one of the best songs *.* that to do v well pls x)

Did I fool people into thinking I was Iz for just a minute? x (I confess I've never heard of Tokyo Ghoul)
FalKKonE has loads of really cool symphonic metal covers of various anime and video game covers and various weird stuff (he's done Mozart and the Thomas the Tank Engine theme as well) on his channel, I'd really recommend it to all those who like this: https://www.youtube.com/falkkone/join Rena is indeed also often involved and is pretty cool, but you can barely hear her over the music sometimes

Licht Und Schatten was very good. Not a huge surprise it was sent by Chez.

iz is not behind the anime song!!!
I always love symphonic reinterpretations of good soundtracks, so that was a highlight. |

03. Bré was behind…
Moaning - Fall In Love QUOTE 12 FalKKonE - Licht Und Schatten 10 Working Men's Club - A.A.A.A. 8 Bebe - Malo 7 Westerman - Confirmation 6 Karnataka - Secrets Of Angels 5 Ellis - Shame 4 Windwaker - My Empire 3 Dogleg - Fox 2 Soccer Mommy - circle the drain 1 BLOXX - Lie Out Loud Great round, some surprises there as I haven't really been a fan of other music I have heard from Soccer Mommy and especially Westerman but these were great choices! Here's hoping Moaning won't be paid the dust I was paid in the last Jade Nuggets xx (I may have slightly bent the rules in sending a song that's mostly synthpop but hey, it has a good amount of guitar in the second half  )Commiserations to these which were also worthy of points: Amyl And The Sniffers - Starfire 500 Folkstone - In Taberna Summoning - Land Of The Dead Sonata Arctica - Whirlwind BAILEN - Your Love Is All I Know Club Smith - Young Defeatists Now it’s time for Bré’s votes! He is behind ‘Fall In Love’ by Californian-based band Moaning. This is gloriously 80s with its synthpop influences and thrashing guitar - thankfully it did contain enough of the latter to dodge a veto. Lyrically this is about being afraid of falling in love due to witnessing a lot of relationships ending badly. I feel like a good synth always brightens up any topic however. This package also contains a cool and slightly trippy Adult Swim video. Bré is currently sitting in 7th place so could certainly be on track to outdo his position in my last Nuggets contest. He awards 12 points to Chez’s symphonic metal instrumental so that now flies into the top 5! Bray also awards 10 to Working Men’s Club, tightening their grip on 2nd place. He then gives 8 to the Spanish standout from Bebe - that is now in the top 10. He also ensures that BLOXX and Dogleg are off 0, so now it’s 10 people that remain on nil points. SCOREBOARD 1 28 Karnataka - Secrets Of Angels 2 23 Working Men's Club - A.A.A.A. 3 13 Westerman - Confirmation 4 13 FalKKonE - Licht Und Schatten [Chez Wombat] 5 12 Colony House - You Know It 6 12 Bebe - Malo 7 10 Moaning - Fall In Love [Bré] 8 10 Ellis - Shame 9 9 Soccer Mommy - Circle the Drain 10 9 Windwaker - My Empire 11 8 Shangralas - White Gold 12 7 Folkstone - In Taberna 13 6 Summoning - Land Of The Dead 14 4 Club Smith - Young Defeatists 15 3 Egoism - What Are We Doing? 16 3 Dogleg - Fox 17 2 BAILEN - Your Love Is All I Know 18 1 Amyl & The Sniffers - Starfire 500 19 1 BLOXX - Lie Out Loud 20 0 Alter Bridge - Blackbird [awardinary] 21 0 cheerbleederz - sometimes i cry at work 22 0 Club Drive - Spare Time 23 0 DI-RECT - Times Are Changing 24 0 H.E.R.O. - Bad Blood 25 0 Kasalla - Stadt met K 26 0 Larkin Poe - Preachin' Blues 27 0 Math The Band - Four To Six 28 0 Sonata Arctica - Whirlwind 29 0 We The Lion - You |
