May 12, 201312 yr Oh dear, quite a lot of UP recycling there, although I'm not sure it was intentional given all the countries who sent them don't take part in UP Nice to see no one REALLY took the piss. As for my own entry, I was unfortunately left a bit high and dry last minute when Burns was disallowed, so I went with the song that I tried to send a few contests ago, but was stopped by someone sending the same artist with a different song (and that someone is in my semi!), I'm really not sure how this will go down, but I guess this songs performance will let me know just what could've happened. Also Unseen Footage From A Forthcoming Funeral I'm intrigued! I once send an UP song (and rightfully flopped with it :D) but didn't know about that. :( I think we need a rule that entries shouldn't also repeast UP songs, as most of us take part in both contests.
May 12, 201312 yr I went to their gig, Martina was VERY charismatic! I even liked their songs live. :( Dragonette are amazing and Pavel needs to get over it.

I'm very pleased you finally sent it. It's got nothing on The Rain Falls.. (obviously), but I do hope it does well for you, I had been wondering how it'd do too to be honest.
May 12, 201312 yr I think that is a usual part of the veto, so in this case it wasn't a rule. I think it definitely should be made a rule - at the very least top 10 hits from UP should be banned outright. Would perhaps be a bit silly to disallow songs that finished right near the bottom of UP I guess (although it'd be ill-informed to send them anyway). Edited May 12, 201312 yr by Bér
May 12, 201312 yr Oh, Rich went with another instrumental! This is actually a lot better and puts me in the mood for a holiday!
May 12, 201312 yr Oh, Rich went with another instrumental! This is actually a lot better and puts me in the mood for a holiday! :D I'm obsessed with the dance instrumentals right now! It's definitely a summer anthem :wub:
May 12, 201312 yr Author You haven't included the AQ entries in the pax Jake? LAWLZ !! knew there'd be SOMETHING will add them tomorrow hopefully but if people download them beforehand then just have a listen to the 2 videos in the first post
May 12, 201312 yr i guess i was super naive to think postiljonen wouldn't be touched till next month so i could send it after massive attack OOPS
May 12, 201312 yr Mainline got sent?! Well that's already got a headstart from UP, eek. and Sir Sly! and Twigs (although they're yet to release anything decent after 'Ache' unfortunately. Taped Rai, Josef Salvat and London Grammar were on my 'to send' list so this should be interesting..
May 12, 201312 yr Btw what led you to send Massive Attack Lew? it's one of my favourite songs of all time and with the veto gone that COULD'VE potentially culled it i decided why not!! same kinda impulse that drove me to send 'moan' whether it was a good idea or not still remains to be seen though!
May 12, 201312 yr it's one of my favourite songs of all time and with the veto gone that COULD'VE potentially culled it i decided why not!! same kinda impulse that drove me to send 'moan' whether it was a good idea or not still remains to be seen though! It's great and all but I would have called for a veto under normal contest rules... But it's not a normal contest so who cares!
May 12, 201312 yr Author do the autoqualifiers usually go in the semi final packs tho btw? wouldn't it just be confusing to people
May 12, 201312 yr It's great and all but I would have called for a veto under normal contest rules... But it's not a normal contest so who cares! oops!! i hope it won't be held against me coz i think in the context of this contest a lot of people won't have heard (i know that when i was sending out potentials like half of the people hadn't heard it before even tho they obviously know massive attack!)
May 12, 201312 yr I'm sure it will qualify with ease so don't fret! It's a great track, one of the few later tracks that holds up to their early material.
