January 15, 20178 yr Author Can you leave this place with me? Backstage Access Episode 17: The Future Is Here Sponsored by http://i.imgur.com/alZxaYw.png Artist: LIONE Track: "Leave This Place" PwRbr2NmINM The future is here. This contest, we tackle a more Porter Robinson/Madeon-ish style with LIONE, a fresh face from Los Angeles signed onto STMPD RCRDS, Martin Garrix's new label. This also happens to be the first song released by the label not by Garrix himself. With the style and pointing toward Porter, it's a wonder that hike didn't get Porter Himself to release through STMPD. #BJSC91 #TheFutureIsHere
January 22, 20178 yr Author We are through to the final once again! Aeroche has gotta be a good luck charm.

January 30, 20178 yr Author BJSC 92 POTENTIALS ANNOUNCEMENT Sponsored by http://i.imgur.com/alZxaYw.png - Hello Lupine Nation! We've had an initial prepared entry for the upcoming contest, but after a recent turn of events, we're announcing that the flavor au choix for the next contest is... pop. It will be our first delving into the genre umbrella since BJSC 79. Which subgenre of pop will it be? More to come on this later. #BJSC92 (Also more of 2016: The Road So Far to come later :))
January 31, 20178 yr Author :cheer: And now that the green red room thread has opened: BJSC 92 POTENTIALS ANNOUNCEMENT Sponsored by http://i.imgur.com/alZxaYw.png http://www.yayomg.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/yayomg-maya-josh-girl-meets-world.gif - "Dear Applicant Boing-" - It doesn't say that! - "- this year, we are only accepting married applicants!-" - IT DOESN'T SAY THAT! Hello Lupine Nation! So we're choosing between: Amanda Winberg - "Shutdown (Ghassemi Remix)" Fear Of Tigers - "Truth Or Dare" HALEM - "Unstoppable QyOEwZCmpeo Halflives - "Burn" QGZ5CoY33mk Violet Days - "O.D On You" vfxwS1ncX34 So either pop or poppy hybrids of rock/dance. I think I'm just lost in what direction I wanna go on because I felt that this was the right time to go pop. Personal rank: Unstoppable > O.D On You > Burn = Truth Or Dare > Shutdown
January 31, 20178 yr i'll listen to the rest of them but i already know Unstoppable so that's my pick for you to send for now!

January 31, 20178 yr Author BJSC 2016: #TheRoadSoFar http://66.media.tumblr.com/711a918ddd27d47924da25688ef7f019/tumblr_ms3xpxiDhR1sdifoio4_500.gif Play By Play: *"Carry On My Wayward Son" starts playing* Instrumentals (October 2016): DANCE WITH THE DEAD - "Poison" (omg why did I not send Explosive that would have smashed) 36th. Yeah that says it all. Worst spin-off position EVER. Which was heartbreaking given I had such a good run with spin-offs. I guess people didn't really take into "Cody gets into the Halloween spirit" for this because this was so season-appropriate and just had the right feel at the time. It's not as Lady Gaga instrumental-lite as "Waves" but it had a certain flair that just made it so... me. BJSC 89 (October 2016): The Birthday Massacre - "In The Dark" The most rock song that I've ever sent. There's something that's very sonically similar to Evanescence about this and that's partially why I sent it. I wanted to continue the trend of me sending Halloween-themed entries during October and this was equal parts haunting and addicting at the same time. Thank you Lindsey for that 15 or else I probably would have not survived during that contest. Country (October 2016): Maddie & Tae - "Shut Up & Fish" This, ladies and gentlemen, is how an American stuck in a teenage mind does a country spin-off. By sending something that's stereotypically country but not as irritating as the likes of *shudders* Luke Bryan... They're an amazing country duo with one album so far (and I really hope they're making more material because they're too talented to stop now!) and I'm glad they got as far as they did. It just sucks being the Jadakissnia of spin-offs... maybe that top 3 is coming? BJSC 90 (November 2016): Contact - "Never Stop" Listen here! I think this song was the big return to the classic Cor Lupus MTV sound that was super prevalent during most of 2015 (and spring of 2016). Oddly enough this type of sound actually works in our favor. 4th place in such a close and low-scoring contest overall was pretty impressive. - TBO & Rejects: The Naked And Famous - "Higher" (TBO Final: 18th) Contact - "Never Stop" (TBO Semi: 16th) Atlas Genius - "Stockholm" (Rejects Final: 12th) Looking at the results of all of them, I'm still confused as to why "Higher" ended up winning lol. Go silent majority! Also was nice to see some justice for Atlas Genius as that was clearly in the wrong semi (Jade's votes be damned, I still appreciate your support :heart:) BJSC 91 and the road ahead: With "Leave This Place" going top 10, the pressure is on to keep this upward momentum and possibly improve on the mistakes made last year. The road will not be easy. This is a completely different ballpark, and the audience has shifted a bit. Sometimes safe won't work, and other times thinking outside the box will leave you in the dust. So the goal for this year is to find a happy medium. Offer a bit of experimentation but at the same time stay true to the sound. So we stand, eyes glowing red, moving forward to the road ahead. Top 150 coming up!
January 31, 20178 yr Author And here's this final's rankings. Quality was a lot higher than usual.

I'll probably take a page out of Braydino's book and do a little BJSC yearbook entry + rank for those who weren't listed at all because I kinda feel bad (*cough N DNTN cough*)
February 1, 20178 yr I bet you're still gonna end up somehow finishing this before my EOY tbh. (Actually kinda surprised I have an entry in here at all, expecting it'll be pretty low down since you didn't give any of my 2016 entries more than 3 points x)
