June 14, 201015 yr Are the future ones going to have a set theme to them? Or are they just going to be our favourites again?
June 17, 201015 yr @ Shoat - I checked out The Corrs version of 'Little Wing'. It's quite amazing actually! It's beautifully done, totally brings a whole new element to the track. And the lead singer has a fantastic voice!
June 19, 201015 yr Author Oh man! Sorry to burst y'alls bubbles but I wasn't planning on doing another one till at November/Decemberish, I feel like people would want to wait. If someone else wants to host one though, they can feel free. No laws/limits/regulations etc. If the next one is in December, I doubt it'd have a theme tbh, I like to leave things open.
June 19, 201015 yr I would prefer a free-for-all rather than a theme. A set theme would probably restrict the numbers taking part while a more open entry allows members to choose their own theme if they wish. It's great that some people are keen to do another one already but I think it's better to wait a few months.
June 19, 201015 yr In the meantime we could always have an Unknown Pleasures? :D Where everyone submits one entry and then everyone votes for their fave in a ranked order (ie; 18 songs entered, you vote for your fave 10). I'm aware it's very close to how BJSC is run but I still think that's far too complicated for a song contest). UP gets straight to the point without any hassles or longwinded-ness. ^_^
June 19, 201015 yr yeah im up for unknown pleasures, especially if the songs are really unknown, which would benefit from us having it in this forum again (like not have a rule that it has to be indie like in the cd swap but have it in indie to stop it being overthrown by britney spears songs)
June 19, 201015 yr ^^ Agree with all of the above... CD swaps should be limited to 2 or 3 per year methinks. I'd love a round of Unknown Pleasures between though if anyone is interested in hosting it?

UP gets straight to the point without any hassles or longwinded-ness. ^_^ Actually BJSC is exactly like that now, just with about 50 songs to choose from rather than 18, so its not complicated at all. The only problem with it is that your average BJSC entry is ridiculously camp/dated pop, though the exceptions make it worth it. I could host another Unknown Pleasures, but it'd only really be different from BJSC if the songs are alt based. I know that sounds pretty snobbish but otherwise it'd be pretty pointless... I can live without another CD swap, but since i didn't enter on time i can easily make quite a few more compilations of similar quality before i start running out of GREAT songs.

June 19, 201015 yr ooo I like the idea of 'Unknown Pleasures'. ;D BJSC really confuses me though. :( Unknown Pleasures is exactly the same as BJSC now, but with potentially better music, thank god.
June 19, 201015 yr Author I'd love to see an UP hosted, and I'd be fine having it in this forum in the sense of promoting more obscure music. And UP is still a little different than BJSC in that you have no idea who sent what song. I don't have the time to host it. But for whoever is interested, you can feel free to start it here.

I'll happilly do one. After tomorrow I've got a week off work so I'll set it up then. ^_^

June 21, 201015 yr I'm thinking maybe the song can't have reached the UK top 75 and artist never have reached the top 20? Or top 10?
