Looks like there's a proper FIN-SWE match on atm

2nd :o holy cow

My song is doing about as well as I expected it to at this stage. Must try harder next time. :D

Thanks :D I thought I'd see if I could win this time rather than entering something bizarre again.

 

Peter Murphy used to be a member of Bauhaus who had some modest success in the late 70s / early 80s. I actually didn't know the song until a few weeks ago. I was listening to a Kitchens of Distinction mix on youtube and some of his songs were included. So I got one of his albums and this song seemed the obvious choice.

If you don't know it check out Cuts You Up. That's his 'big hit' - Stateside at least.

ahh i was so happy being number 1 for ages, then my dreams were shattered.

 

everyone who liked Sonoio, support the artist, his album is brilliant, buy buy: http://sonoio.org/

 

Sonoio is better known as Allesandro Cortini, member of excellent band modwheelmood and previously a member of the NIN live act doing synths/keys/a bit of guitar, and he played a few dates as part of Muse's live band last year!

2nd :o holy cow

I'm not surprised, it's a very poppy track for them. Plus Stars are quite popular among the indie crowd yaknow. I suspect many of the voters who love them may have discounted it for familiarity so it could potentially have been even higher.

TBH I haven't kept tabs on Pete Murphy's solo stuff but I might just have to now.

Thanks Chris :snif:

I never knew Peter Murphy was the lead singer of Bauhaus, I must have been living a sheltered life, till I discovered his solo material through UP, I have recently you tubed his solo material and I'm very impressed.

Dali's Car are not bad too.

With only 1 point given to the songs in 2nd - 8th, a 10 for Peter Murphy extends its lead at the top to 11 points putting a bit of daylight between itself and the rest of the top 5. A 12 for Kent doesn't move it up any positions but it's now a lot nearer to the top 20, whilst a 2nd 15 points for Valravn puts it in 6th, its highest position yet. Along with Band of Skulls, it overtakes Sonoio moving Chris' song down to 12th, the first time it's not been inside the top 10.

 

 

5 -> 29.

 

McFly boy.

I'm like the UK en Eurov. THIS IS ALL POLITICAL U HOEZ

ooft i'm now out of the top 10.

 

 

i really hated the singer of Chapel Club.

Dali's Car are not bad too.

Yeah I've got that mainly coz me and Mrs Grebo love Japan.

Blame Manic.

Again? :D

 

Did you listen to what I would have sent? If so, what did you think?

The Momus track really struck me as odd and different, not far from peaking inside the top 10.

It sounded very like the Pet Shop Boys to me - which is a good thing.

21. Wild Nothing 'Chinatown' sent by Thomsen. After a bottom half finish last time Thomsen is doing rather better with Wild Nothing. I was going to send 'Summer Holiday' but I love 'Chinatown' too so was more than happy for you to send it! ^_^

 

Thomsen's votes:

 

01 - Band of Skulls

 

02 - Veronica Falls

 

03 - Sloan

 

04 - Skyline

 

05 - Museum of Bellas Artes

 

06 - Ou Est Le Swimming Pool

 

08 - Ghost Society

 

10 - Stars

 

12 - Lake Heartbeat

 

15 - Kent

Thomsen's votes push his own song down to third as Stars overtake. Another excellent score for Kent sees them move into the top 20 for the first time in 17 votes as it climbs above 7 songs. Lake Heartbeat is at its highest position of 4, whilst Ou Est Le Swimming Pool continue to float around the 6-12 mark, climbing 3 to 7th.
