was making a post in the nationalities thread and I hit post before I realized I forgot about... five or six entries from last year and the year before because I simply forgot that I entered. my memory was literally just a blank between the magnetic fields and twiabp. anyway the point is I will be updating the first post on this thread for better record and stats-keeping...at some point

"blue angel" by danny l harle featuring clairo from volume 3 (2022)

thank you for extending our current q streak to...four (4)! have another song from the latest pc music comp, even though it is also 5 years old

I was subjected to this AI Ariana Grande cover of El Alma Que Te Trajo so now I'm just going to leave it here

bjsc 157 | sparklehorse – gold day
from it's a wonderful life (2001)

if you've ever wondered what it would sound like if a parental figure who passed came back to you in a dream in the wee hours of the morning and told you all the words you'd been longing to hear, this one's for you

 

you are my bad dream

bjsc 158 | greet death – new hell
from new hell (2019)

slow-churning, moody shoegaze with a heavy edge and a transcendent climax

robbed I tell thee, would have been a great finalist

(was in the other semi)

was thinking about sending this to instrumentals for the laughs but I might just recycle another artist instead

 

anyway in case you were wondering, greet death might've (bc unconfirmed) taken inspiration from another pagasa artist:

 

bjsc 161 | lvl up – hidden driver
from return to love (2016)

opening track to the last album by the band, who i'd sent years ago in unknown pleasures (not nuggets as I previously thought). bears more than a passing resemblance to neutral milk hotel so recommended if you liked the nmh song a couple contests ago 👀

Common Pagasa W :heart: I beg people display better taste this month please

bjsc 164 | youth lagoon – july
from the year of hibernation (2011)

a bit of lo-fi bedroom pop from back when those terms were blog buzzwords instead of spotify algorithm genres

watch this space ..

already dnq’ed but just wanna get this thread up and running again

bjsc 181 | cameron winter – nausicaä (love will be revealed)
from heavy metal (2024)

not to delve too hard into the #discourse but a big part of cameron winter’s appeal for me is his off-kilter voice, very reminiscent of indie vocalists of decades past. jeff mangum of neutral milk hotel is one that gets mentioned a lot, but i hear a lot of 00s indie here too. the clap your hands say yeah dude is one, dan boeckner from wolf parade is another. the blogs would’ve eaten him up in 2006.
