Hello all,

 

Thank you for taking part. Below are the 26 songs which people have entered into BuzzJack's first Unknown Pleasures contest.

 

You will now vote for your favourite 10 songs using the following points system and send them to me via PM.

 

1st (favourite) - 15 points

2nd - 12

3rd - 10

4th - 8

5th - 6

6th - 5

7th - 4

8th - 3

9th - 2

10th - 1

11th - *Reserve*

 

 

Everybody can vote, regardless of whether that have submitted a song or not. However all posters who did submit a song must vote or will be deducted 15 points from their total score. You cannot vote for your own song. I shall send out voting reminders to people who have not yet voted two days before the deadline.

 

If you reveal which song is yours you will be disqualified from the contest and if you publicly attempt to guess what other people have sent you will be deducted points from your final total. I shall reveal who sent what when I reveal each persons votes at the end.

 

You have until 12:00 on Saturday 17th July to vote. Any votes sent after this deadline will not be counted. Results will take place at some point on Sunday 18th July.

 

If this contest is a success then I will run another one in the future, however I will put a limit on entrants, probably at 30.

1. The Naked and Famous 'Young Blood'

Wow, i only know like 2 of these songs :lol:

 

Will we be getting mp3's? :o

Yes, the file is currently 39% uploaded.

Wow, a lot of variety there. Thanks a lot to Mark for organizing this, I'm looking forward to going through all of these.

Now this is interesting...

Thanks... from the list above I know 2 already, I get listening tonight, there isn't sod all on TV

Young Blood gave me chills, that video is amazing :wub:

And of course.. no vote on own song, right?

No, you're not. Thanks for questioning. Not sure how I managed to forget that one! :|

Thanks for organising this Mark - just downloading the MP3s now. :D

Shall give them all a listen after the Germany v Argentina game!

I know 1 of those and that's mine.

I'm going to watch all the videos first to familiarise myself with them, then put the mp3s into a playlist, and loop it until I've listened to them all a good few times each, before I start eliminations.

 

edit:

 

:lol: @ Britney.

 

I've listened to the first fourteen songs, just over half way through and it's very varied and there's not one song I dislike, will listen to the rest later on tonight and put the mp3s on my iPod.

Edited July 3, 201015 yr by Daniel Gleek

I only know 5 songs but that's 5 I already like! The others will have to be good songs to beat those.

BTW do we vote publicly on this thread or pm them to you

PM please

Just listened to the first 15, I'm a pretty harsh marker but there wasn't one so far I'd give less than 7/10.

 

Disappointed there's no 'themetune to Grandstand' this time though. :P :lol:

God I must be really harsh. I've listened to 16 so far and I would only give 4 songs 7/10 or over! (not including mine :P )

So far so good. Sponsored by Destiny is great.

of the above, i already knew high places, the naked and famous, high places, gauntlet hair, a place to bury strangers, diamond rings, midlake, HEALTH, magic kids, utada, pallers, and streetlight manifesto. but it's okay because i luv most of those. :3

 

this is gonna be lurvely.

i know like 8 of them and i love 5 of them. already the quality seems pretty great. just skimming through they're loads of irish artists and lots of various sorts of electronica, so lots of variety i'd imagine.
