Posted October 14, 201311 yr http://imageshack.us/a/img19/5093/o8fr.jpg Welcome fellow rock fans, to the first, and possibly only edition of BuzzJack Nuggets - the internet version of the popular family board-game of trying to get someone else to like your new favourite rock song. Those of you familiar with Unknown Pleasures will be aware of how this works but should have a read of the rules as there are amendments. Those of you who are not should peruse the following rules. one The golden rule of BuzzJack Nuggets is that the song submitted must have guitar as its lead instrument. It's primarily a rock competition. two The artist or band of your choice must not have reached the top 75 singles chart in the UK. three The artist or band of your choice must not have reached the top 75 albums chart in the UK. four The song must not be on the current UK release schedule. five To enter the competition you must send myself a PM detailing the song you wish to enter together with a link to a mp3. Also include a link to the song on YouTube, Vimeo, or Soundcloud. six Try to submit as high a quality mp3 as possible - low quality ones don't do well in these sorts of competitions. I know this is not always possible. seven Songs from the same artist will not be allowed to participate in the contest simultaneously. If two people choose the same act, the one who submitted their entry first will be allowed to enter the act. eight You must not reveal or even hint at which song you have sent. nine In conjunction with the moderators I will be judging if a submission is in the spirit of the competition, in borderline cases only - don't worry, I'm sure most submission will be obscure enough and rock enough to qualify. ten I'm going to limit the number of applicants to 20. eleven The closing date for submission is Sunday 20th Oct 23:59. twelve I will send out MP3 packs before the end of Tuesday 22nd and set the voting time-frame then also. Then you'll vote (details of which will be announced in the voting thread). I'll mess up the results thread, we'll all cry and agree never to speak of this again. thirteen And finally - This is my first time doing this sort of thing so please try and be patient with me. I've probably missed a few important points so discussion is welcome on this.

October 14, 201311 yr I'll confirm when I can be bothered to go find an mp3. Probably some time today.
October 14, 201311 yr Can I reserve a slot please Tony? I 've got work tonight and don't have enough time to upload the mp3 - but I have a track confirmed anyway which I will send on to you later this week.
October 14, 201311 yr I had a track in mind for this but I'm not convinced it's guitary enough for you. I'll PM it to you and you can let me know!
October 14, 201311 yr I would also like to reserve a slot if possible, don't have time tonight to go searching around but will have time for the rest of the week. Need to think about what angle I'm going to go for too.
October 14, 201311 yr I have confirmed a song. I've known and loved it for a while, but I think this contest is the one that suits it the best, its so obscure it doesn't even have a Youtube nor Soundcloud!
October 14, 201311 yr I have confirmed a song. I've known and loved it for a while, but I think this contest is the one that suits it the best, its so obscure it doesn't even have a Youtube nor Soundcloud! Well then I'm not going to be able to listen to it because mp3s are the devil. oops
October 14, 201311 yr Well then I'm not going to be able to listen to it because mp3s are the devil. oops Fortunately for you (and me) I've uploaded it to one of them :P
October 14, 201311 yr Oh yes keep a seat for me as well please! I kind of have a song in mind but I fear it may send people to sleep and that's not really the desired effect.
October 15, 201311 yr Author Right - we're up to 14 potential entrants at this stage. Everything submitted has been approved by moi. It's all sounding great. :D
October 16, 201311 yr Is the idea of this to submit a song by some obscure band that you love but for whatever reason hasn't charted? Can it be an unsigned artist? Is there an age limit as to how old the song can be, or are people generally submitting current songs?
October 16, 201311 yr Author I could be blunt and say read the rules but I wont. :D No age limit - it can be 100 years old if you like. And no - the band or artist doesn't have to be signed. Edited October 16, 201311 yr by AnthonyT
October 17, 201311 yr I did read the rules, those were just extra questions which weren't answered for me by the rules :P Anyway I've got a couple of songs in mind so I'll try and get round to deciding and submitting one of them!
