April 17, 201114 yr I didn't notice that Dandy's CD from the swap thing we did last year contained this track :o WHY DID YOU NOT ENTER BJSC THIS MONTH?!? :angry: I registered and then forgot all about it. Shameful I know. Tyrren sent me a PM but I didn't read it until the deadline has passed... probably for the best as I think I'll need a few months to find a track I could possibly send. Do indie tracks ever do well in this thing?

Do indie tracks ever do well in this thing? Isconia: Creep; Romy 'Days' was one of the tracks in my Semi Final which I actually gave points to, but alas it didn't qualify. It was by far the most "indie" track in the semi final. So yeah, indie songs don't seem to hit the mark. Unknown Pleasures = indie. BJSC = pop. :D I'm sure had 'Days' been entered into Unknown Pleasures, it would've done well.

April 17, 201114 yr Not to sound arrogant but i think my song was the most 'indie' :kink: And i'm through only because Eledan's usual luck is back with the return of the semis! Had it been sent by someone else it'd have not qualified :lol:
April 17, 201114 yr Listening to the final songs at the moment, I can definitely see why people were saying SF1 was better than SF2 :kink: Unfortunately, one of the songs that has been tipped to win by many I really hate. :( But saying that, I've found my first '10/10' song from the three contests I've competed in! :cheer:
April 17, 201114 yr Do indie tracks ever do well in this thing? I'd imagine something like Cryptic doing pretty well. Just enter whatever you want I reckon, you've been rather good at selecting tracks in the past for the ChC competitions. I'd personally like to see more Indie entries in the contest.
April 17, 201114 yr Just voted, 3 are from SF1 and 7 from SF2. So I take back what I said before :P Two 10/10 moments for me this time :o Probably my favourite contest so far :cheer:
April 17, 201114 yr Do indie tracks ever do well in this thing? In a word... No! Although Gold Panda did make it through. Don't expect it to do anything in the final though, Sorry Pav! Lykke Li did win last time though so obviously certain kinds of female fronted indie/pop will do well. Unknown Pleasures = indie. BJSC = pop. :D I'm sure had 'Days' been entered into Unknown Pleasures, it would've done well. I didn't go with Creep for UP coz of the presence of Romy on the track (who has had a Top 10 album with The XX) and I think it would then fall foul of the rules for UP. I'd say that Creep and Gold Panda were equally indie. And thanks for the votes hits. Go Agnes Obel!!!!

I was going to enter Last One Standing by Ladytron as I'd been hammering their best of at the time.

The contest goes through cycles and Indie has had it's day, then Unknown Pleasures appeared and murdered our participation level.
April 17, 201114 yr Author I don't really think we can blame UP for our participation levels given we only lost about three or four regular participants to it :lol:
April 17, 201114 yr I'd say that Creep and Gold Panda were equally indie. And thanks for the votes hits. Go Agnes Obel!!!! I'd say Creep had a good song whilst Gold Panda didn't. :lol: I shouldn't just dismiss a song because it didn't appeal to me when it was clearly very much indie. :( You're too kind Grebo although having read Klumzee's comment, I suspect 'Riverside' is the "favourite" he really hates. :o

April 17, 201114 yr I'm really not keen on one of the favourites either :( I'll reveal which after the contest, interesting to see if Klumzee's is the same! :o

Make Me Break Me or Punk Rock Song then I guess. I think the latter has more potential to irritate so I'll go with that (even though I think it's great :lol:)
April 17, 201114 yr I remember Liam saying he didn't think Klumican Republic should send Natteravn when Klumzee considered it, so I'm guessing it's that :lol:
