Well, hello! Welcome to not only the seventh edition of Buzzjack’s Unknown Pleasures but the also the edition where I FINALLY redeem myself after bailing out on the results in 2008. WHO WON? WHO KNOWS. New to Unknown Pleasures? If you have a secret musical gem that you think other members perhaps don’t already know then join in! All you need to do to participate is PM me with the name of your entry, an MP3 of the song and a link to either YouTube, Vimeo or Soundcloud. I'll then post a thread with the entries, we'll all listen and vote for our favourites. WHAT DOES THE WINNER RECEIVE? Other than hosting the eighth edition and unparalleled joy? Not much. BUT IT'S WORTH IT.

 



Rules :: ▲▲▲


01 There is no rule with regard to genre or length.


02 The artist or band of your choice must not have reached the top 40 singles chart in the UK.


03 The artist or band of your choice must not have reached the top 20 albums chart in the UK.


04 The song must not be on the current UK release schedule.

05 To enter the competition you must send an MP3 by PM and also include a link to the song on (preferably) YouTube, Vimeo, or Soundcloud. 


06 The MP3 must be either 256 or 320kbps. Low quality files have always struggled within the competition and thus are at a disadvantage.


07 You must not choose a song that has been previously entered.


08 Songs from the same artist will not be allowed to participate in the contest simultaneously.


09 You must not reveal or hint at which song you have sent.


10 I reserve the right to refuse an entry if I feel it does not fit within the spirit of the competition.

 

If I decide that your chosen song does not meet the above criteria then I will let you know before the nomination process closes and you will have a chance to choose another entry. I’m hoping for 30 entrants (like always) but if we do struggle to make those numbers then the deadline is set for 7pm, Monday the 17th of October. If you have any questions, please ask in the thread. HAVE FUN KIDS.

Wow. That font is like the best thing I've ever seen. Literally. I'm dead. *.*

Interesting! I've somehow never even seen this thing before but I saw them triangles so it caught my eye. Will see if I can think of something.

Two entries already.

Make it three!

Are there going to be any participation limits? People have generally always said 30 songs is enough, but there seem to be some who've expressed interest that haven't before so I'm not sure if there's potential for it to increase....

 

I am liking the quality rule though!

Loving the pic and graphics!

 

But a song would be disqualified if lower quality? That's unnecessary, just reminding people that it might be a disadvantage is enough

The artwork is stunning. :o That's good enough to be official artwork for an album. :wub:

 

I'll hopefully have my entry sent towards the end of the week. Just need to have look around and search for an entry I'm happy to send.

I would probably go up to 35 if the songs really do come flooding in and the interest is there.

Sent.

People generally complained (myself included) about the quality of some songs during the last few rounds. There have been some songs that were genuinely unlistenable and I really can't see many members having any trouble with entering good quality MP3's.

Of course I wouldn't have been complaining if my own wasn't 192 kbps but maybe I come up with something..

I HAVE ENTERED. Now sit back and watch my first competition entry go down like a lead balloon.

I'm in, probably gonna use a day or two decide which song to use.

Ten in two hours! I guess everyone had their songs at the ready.

Sent

I've sent my song

Me, too. :)

on itttttttttt

The version of the song I wanted to send fell foul of rule 6, which is a pity. I'll be sending a different song, which thankfully is also incredibly awesome.
