June 5, 201114 yr Thank you muchly Tyrren, more than I had expected! :o 4th seems scarily high though this early, I was hoping I was going to be the late surge but it looks as though that's not to be! :D

June 5, 201114 yr The entire population of Kopečka is unbothered by your thanks, but will place them on the mantlepiece nonetheless. And there was I thinking that was an OLIVE BRANCH. Have it your way then.
June 5, 201114 yr When did BJSC get so INDIETASTIC? (not that i'm complaining, at least half the top four is tremendous) It was Indietastic a while back for a good 10 contests! It's been rather Pop orientated until this month and last.
June 5, 201114 yr Curse of 11th strikes back :( Blame yourselves for getting rid of the 18 points system. Ahhhh yes. I know it well.
June 5, 201114 yr Many thanks Chris! After half a year of doing well, it feels odd to be doing so $h!t.
June 5, 201114 yr It was Indietastic a while back for a good 10 contests! It's been rather Pop orientated until this month and last. I don't understand quite where you get this diagnosis from Phil. You not qualifying for a few contests with fairly mediocre pop tracks doesn't mean the contest went indie for 10 contests! :lol: The only AT ALL mildly alternative contest was the one Delphic won, and even that was fairly poppy for an 'alternative' track, and perhaps the one Roll Deep won where Lo-Fi-Fnk, Robyn, Sia and The Golden Filter came top five, but that aside...
June 5, 201114 yr Author Hits! :o Thank you! I was not expecting a maximum from you, I'm really chuffed! 'Watch The Sun Go By' is excellent whether it's the [Fljótavík Edit] or the album version, it's just quite simply brilliant. :D
June 5, 201114 yr After half a year of doing well, it feels odd to be doing so $h!t. You're MID-TABLE! :lol:

I think there were basically 4 indie contests, XXII to XXV. BUt that was pretty much it.
June 5, 201114 yr Author Time for our 16th set of votes tonight and they come from New Caprica: 12 points: Those Dancing Days - I'll Be Yours 10 points: Niki & The Dove - DJ, Ease My Mind 08 points: Le Prix & Johan Agebjörn feat.

June 5, 201114 yr Many thanks Chris! After half a year of doing well, it feels odd to be doing so $h!t. You're MID-TABLE! :lol: See this is how it feels :lol:
June 5, 201114 yr I don't understand quite where you get this diagnosis from Phil. You not qualifying for a few contests with fairly mediocre pop tracks doesn't mean the contest went indie for 10 contests! :lol: The only AT ALL mildly alternative contest was the one Delphic won, and even that was fairly poppy for an 'alternative' track, and perhaps the one Roll Deep won where Lo-Fi-Fnk, Robyn, Sia and The Golden Filter came top five, but that aside... Ten would be extensive use of Hyperbole to describe the period of 22-26 where there were a higher number than average indie tracks. Two of those I got drawn into the indie semi and crashed out of at the expense of some ridiculous garbage. So yes, the contest did have an indie period before common sense reigned and we had three Scandipop winners on the bounce.
June 5, 201114 yr Thanks, New Caprica! ^_^ 5TH? This is when Espen pull their signature fall-to-the-bottom trick! :heehee:
June 5, 201114 yr You're MID-TABLE! :lol: Well now, kinda, but after 6 top11 finishes it's a bit odd to be back in my XII-XXVII hunting ground given the massive leap in entry quality.
June 5, 201114 yr I think there were basically 4 indie contests, XXII to XXV. BUt that was pretty much it. I see the argument that XXV was a fairly alternative contest, and maybe XXII and XXIV at a stretch - but let's not forget - along with those fairly alternative appearances from The Good Natured and Olafur Arnalds in XXII's top ten, you also had Glee, Caroline Jonsson, Keri Hilson, Linda Bengtzing, Elin Lanto...in XXIV you had Leighton Meester, Danny, Suzie McNeil and Tania Foster to go along with Delphic and Beach House. Nowhere near as 'indie' as portrayed - and XXIII really wasn't all that alternative at all.
