Stop and Stare was playlisted on Radio 1 last spring

Axel F in itself isn't bad, it's just bad for what it stands for...

 

I Want A Pony strikes me as a slightly more poptastic Crystal Castles (first album...)

:rofl:

 

Best joke I've heard of 2011 so far

I've actually just voted, so no going back. I'm not holding my hopes high this time round with my entry, if I finish above Krause, Swing Kids and Immortal Technique I be happy

:rofl:

I did think that statement would be a bit controversial :lol: Like a braindead, poptastic Crystal Castles - it's certainly got the Alice Glass (on tracks like Love and Caring/Alice Practice) influence there just a bit...

i don't think the simple fact that both singers scream occasionally makes them comparable. krause share no influences with crystal castles (8-bit music, purposeful lo-fi sounds , etc.) that krause song is literally terrible.

 

also, most of the songs this time are terrible. but there are a few good onez.

To be frank, I think you're confusing controversial with dumb there...

this.

In the Middle Ages, they used to burn people for making comments less heretical than that.

I'm really struggling to order them this time, I think I know what my favourite is but the next 10 or so are very difficult to separate.

I've found that as well. I've currently got a provisional order which is unlikely to change much. Will give the songs another listen today and see if my opinion changes. I definitely know what my top 2 are though. It's just 3-12 I'm unsure about.

I'm having a proper listen now.

 

The one thing that always annoys/baffles me is how people don't organise their songs. Sure, no artwork is acceptable but NO ARTIST? WHAT IS THIS?! It makes me feel terribly dirty and then I have to make everything pretty before I can listen... only to normally delete half of the songs. Haha.

So true. Tags are like the most important thing! It looks so much prettier with proper tags (in LOWER case too [AWOLNATION <_< ]) peoples!

Have finished judging them and about 70% of them all sound the same to me. I clearly don't have a hope in Hell of winning but at least a couple amused me this time

well some band's style their name in capitals, (for example HEALTH), i'm guessing AWOLNATION is the same.

 

 

worst thing is when you download an album and it's not tagged at all it's all just like 'track 1', what is wrong with people.

Definitely, although having looked around it seems AWOLNATION actually use capitals.

 

"Eva & The Heartmaker - Signals" - This all in the song name is not okay! Haha. I'm just being finicky.

Tags ARE important to me for the song title and artist at least

I don't really understand the love for Fenech Soler. Pretty unremarkable to be honest, when I saw them I ended up drinking whiskey in the corner and looking at Twitter on my phone.

 

I haven't found anything I loved instantly yet (In The Fall) but there doesn't seem to be as many lows this time.

I WANT A PONY I WANT A HORSE I WANT IT NOW!

 

I WANT A POOOONYYYYYYYY.

 

Uh.

Not only do I have to have the tags correct but I cannot stand having mp3s at a 128 bitrate. I have to find them at a higher rate just to probably delete most of them a week later. I am such a bitrate snob.

I was actually going to write that originally but didn't want to seem like I was complaining about everything. Haha. I definitely agree though (and I don't tend to go back to the lower quality songs).
