Hello all,

 

It's now time for the fourth BuzzJack Unknown Pleasures.

 

After discussion, the number of entries will be capped at 30. I will post the songs as soon as that limit is reached. The people who participated in the last contest have until 23:59 tomorrow night to guarentee their place in the contest. After that it is first come, first served.

 

RULES

 

You must choose a song to send which meet the following criteria. It does not matter what type of song it is with regards to genre or length.

 

* The song must NOT have reached the UK Top 40 Singles Chart

* The artist(s) in question must never have had a UK top 20 single or album.

* The song must NOT be on the current UK release schedule

 

A song may also be excluded if it is felt to be too 'cheap' or well known.

 

You must PM me with a Youtube link to the song as well as an uploaded mp3 (or at least a place where I can download it from*). I will then collate them all and post the Youtube links in the voting thread (mp3s will be PM'd).

 

You must not, at any point, reveal your own song, reveal anything about it or publicly attempt to guess what other people have sent.

 

Any questions, please ask.

 

Please use the following links to check if the song is eligible.

*You do not have to do this, but if I cannot easily find a place to download the song there will not be an mp3 which I imagine will put the song at a disadvantage to the others.

 

The only change to this contest is that the results will be posted in voting order, as due to time constraints it will make it much easier for me.

lol *enters The Naked and Famous - Punching In A Dream*

 

 

i think the bottom bit should include every song by that band, not just that track.

 

 

gonna enter right now.

I'd disqualify that anyway...

Sent, I'll be toying with it for ages, its perfect for UP

I'm definitely a yes. Got a couple of tracks I've pondered over so will choose one of them and send.

I SUBMITTEDDDD

Sent!

Sent mine.

Sent it :D

Sent mine too.

 

Watch mine come last :lol:

Oh dear this soon? I won't have an access to my mp3's until Monday.

 

I can send you the link for video of course

That's fine. I probably won't be posting it until after Christmas day anyway.

Sent!

Will send later. I have to rip it first.

I cannot seem to choose between three songs. AGH. I'm going to go with something I like instead of purely trying to win (and failing).

Sent mine. I hopefully I can improve after coming in 2nd last in UP III!

Entered! :D

 

As usual, I've just gone for something I've been listening to a lot of late.

I was torn between two songs, and it pains me that I couldn't enter both. I'll probably hold the other song back for the next UP.

I'm being very selfish here but is there any way this can begin mid next week? Only I have the week off for once and will actually have time to listen to everything properly where as New Year onwards will be one massive rush...

I think that's the idea of doing it now.
