Posted March 22, 201411 yr http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4006/4658448497_9c0c3ea59e.jpg Welcome to Cumulonimbia, home of the most powerful storms on the planet (and Whataburger) COUNTRY: CUMULONIMBIA CLIMATE: Because the state is mostly mountainous it is characterised by cold & snowy winters, and hot (thundery) summers. HEAD OF STATE: MOIRA STUART (in a closely fought battle that unfortunately nobody came out of with any dignity, beating ANNEKA RICE by just 5 votes) NATIONAL BROADCASTER: The Weather Channel Broadcasting 7:00am - midnight; daily. POPULATION: 355,876 NATIONAL ANTHEM: The Orb "Little Fluffy Clouds" // The KLF f/Tammy Wynette "Justified And Ancient" NATIONAL RADIO STATION: DoctorBlindFM LANGUAGE: Expletives aplenty; English (American, regrettably) CAPITAL: Cyclone (POP: 154,722) CURRENCY: The Bar (B), 1B = 1000 millibars (mb) MOTTO: Catch the train to London: stopping at Rejection, Disappointment, Backstabbing Central and Shattered Dreams Parkway. I've sent my heart away, like heroes in the rain... ** WARNING: Advise that you do not watch this is you are easily offended. Please watch this full 4:50 version instead: :moira: Our first entrant ever for competition 63 of BJSC will be the wonderful "Fantasy" by French electronic musician Juan de Guillebon, aka DyE. The track was taken from his debut album Taki 183 and was synched to a mind-boggling animated music video, which was directed by Jérémie Périn. I hope that you enjoy it, or at least the music, and please feel free to discuss it here.
March 22, 201411 yr Welcome to the contest Cumulonimbia (that's a mouthful! :lol:). I genuinely thought you were a returning country though.
March 22, 201411 yr I like the rebellion against the closed registration thread. Welcome to the contest (at last). Fabulous debut entry.
March 22, 201411 yr Maybe this wasn't the contest to join if you wanted it to be peaceful / UP-like. eek. It's normally kinder, I promise!
March 22, 201411 yr Author Thanks for the welcome guys, I hope to discover lots of gems and of course support the indie/dance-bloc. :D
March 22, 201411 yr Thanks for the welcome guys, I hope to discover lots of gems and of course support the indie/dance-bloc. :D disclaimer: this is as "angry" as i have ever been on an internet forum ever and hopefully something of a culture change will follow. SO glad you are now a part of this danny <3
March 23, 201411 yr your début entry is fantastic, the video is fantastic, the country name is fantastic - what's not to like *.* consider me an official ally

July 7, 201411 yr Ooh you've been so creative with your country, I love it! Can't wait to see your entry :D
August 29, 201410 yr Author "Dying To Start Again" by Lovelife provided the nascent country of Cumulonimbia with its very first Top 10 hit on BJSC67 by finishing in sixth position with 143 points (a national record)! Thank you to all who voted for us and I am really pleased that people enjoyed it. Our next entrant is of course a deep deep secret, but we are allowed to give hints aren't we? (No it's not Penguin Prison, nor is it "Telephone And Rubber Band" by Penguin Café Orchestra). http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm82/TheMagicPosition86/sixtyeight_zps5aabbfbb.png
September 26, 201410 yr Author "Surf Solar" by Fuck Buttons provided Cumulonimbia with a fourth Top 20 finish after racking up 124pts to place 12th on the final leaderboard at BJSC LXVIII, held in Persephonia. The track was famously used in the very first seconds of the London 2012 Opening Ceremony, which was directed by Danny Boyle, giving it a global audience in excess of 1 billion. Our previous tracks have faired thusly: LXIII DYE "FANTASY" (DNQ) LXIV RITON FT. MELEKA "INSIDE MY HEAD (20th, 120 pts) LXV MAX RICHTER "SPRING 1 [ADE LAUGEE REMIX] (19th, 91 pts) LXVI TOM VEK "SHERMAN (ANIMALS IN THE JUNGLE)" (DNQ) LXVII LOVELIFE "DYING TO START AGAIN" (6th, 143 pts) LXVIII FUCK BUTTONS "SURF SOLAR" (12th, 124 pts) We hope you will enjoy our entrant for LXIX; and now for no apparent reason- here is a photo we took of Central Park, NYC in the snow last December. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm82/TheMagicPosition86/83fe_zps4604efe0.png
September 26, 201410 yr Cumulonimbia have already established themselves as an ESSENTIAL nation. 'Fantasy', 'Spring 1' and 'Surf Solar' are all incredible (and the former not qualifying is still a bit wat) and I really like the other 3 as well, Riton/Meleka a bit less so than Tom Vek and Lovelife.
