******** UNKNOWN PLEASURES 18 ******** THE RESULTS SHOW

Featured Replies

Posted

Working like Superman turning back time to get those spreadsheets sorted, coming soon, and I still don't know the end result....!

 

To get in the mood, play the theme tune:

 

and this is the first comic I ever bought (if the jpg link works!) with my own money, still the greatest comic cover ever, for the greatest ever over-hyped, hyperactive, and utterly fantastic set of songs.

Adevnture Comics 367

 

 

That amount of hyperbole is bound to fall.... :unsure:

Alas I am just about to go out as an on a work conference in Newcastle and am obliged to eat with everyone else... but hope the results go well and I'll check back when I return later. Hoping my 20 pointer will win and I think it may...
yay i'm here

didn't get time to vote :(

 

oh well i was coming last anyway

Oh Jake. :(

Hype

 

Hoping my song can at least avoid the bottom 5, though I still have no idea what to expect of it really.

I don't feel like my entry's gonna do that well and have had quite a lack of hype/anything so haven't got massively high hopes here, really though I'm just here for my 20 pointer to slay everything.

Good Evening and welcome to the results show. Yes, it’s that time, when hopes are raised and cruelly dashed and then raised again. As Duncan McLoud once said, though, there can be only one. Winner, that is, not an immortal.

 

Further obscure sci-fi fantasy references may or may not be mixed in with the results. I'm still doing the votes spreadsheets, so a few slower ones to start with..

 

So. Pundit-stylee up first it’s...

 

jsilv!

First song in the lead is Somebody’s Talking by The Preatures, an Australian band from Sydney. Hooray for Aussies! 2nd is Dreamshow, not from Sydney, but New York. International is the name of the game, while in 3rd place it’s the exotically-named Moonbootica, or 2 Hamburg DJ’s. Around The World in 20 seconds, you’d have to be Barry Allen to do that in a flash.

James gave us the DJ’s Moonbootica, sitting in Bronze medal position at the mo - so how will his marks affect his own song?

After 2 sets of votes 17 songs have points and an unlucky 13 remain unloved, the Poison Ivy of Batman’s bad girls. I’m going to say it - it’s outrageous, they all should have points by now! OK mathematically impossible, but hey ho. So, taking the lead it’s TOPS, who, quite literally, are. A Montreal band, and continuing our world Top 3 tour, Canada join Australia’s Preachers and in joint runners-up it’s Aqua Vitae, a bit of classical class from Future World Music. Country? No idea, it’s a wannabe-film-score project and I know nothing more.

 

Cosmonaut Grechko to slay please

 

and hopefully my entry doesn't do too badly. I wonder if anyone will guess what it is :unsure:

I think I have a fairly good idea unless you purposefully sent something that's extremely un-you.

 

(i.e. it'll be one of Klaves, Pizeta or Lane 8, most likely the former I'd say - watch that be totally wrong now ofc)

Up next, it’s...me!

 

Popchartfreak:

 

Yes, my track is the 1970’s all-girl punk band The Runaways who had world-wide flopdom (except Japan) with the terrific Cherry Bomb. Well, they had the last laugh, Lita Ford had a Rock career after the split, and Joan Jett went on to have a worldwide monster hit (I love Rock ‘n’ Roll) and a string of others in the States. Best of all, Cherry Bomb featured heavily in fab Box Office smash Guardians Of The Galaxy. Apparently that impresses nobody but me though!

That gives the third leader in 3 votes, as >HALOS< and the fabulous Dust fly the UK flag, hailing from London and brand spanking new. TOPS hang onto a op 3 place just ahead of The Preatures, with big climbs for Cosmonaut Grechko at 9 and GOAT at 11, Lydia Ainsworth at 13, all breaking their duck along with Lane 8.
