Posted November 10, 20177 yr Welcome to Unknown Pleasures vs Nuggets! In this semi we've got all the former winners of Unknown Pleasures. Were the voters right in these contests? Which winners have staying power and which are really of their time? Hopefully there's some nostalgia here for some of you. Please do vote in the Nuggets Semi that Lindsey's running as well! 12 point system, the top 15 tracks will qualify for the final. PM your votes to me before 23:59 on the 24th of November. I know this is a different set up to usual contests, however you still cannot vote for your own entries if you have any. Will compile a YouTube playlist (although if anyone else beats me to it I'd appreciate it xx), don't do Spotify but might try working out an Apple Music one and if anyone else wants to make a Spotify one go ahead. 01: 02: 03: 04: 05: 06: 07: 08: 09: 10: 11: 12: 13: 14: 15: 16: UP XVI (Mar 2014): Lewis – Mssingno – Xe2 17: 18: 19: 20: 21: 22: 23: 24: 25:
November 10, 20177 yr Can't wait to listen through this semi *.* Aside from the contest I was in, I already know and love the MssingNo, Fae and Let's Eat Grandma songs :wub: I can't remember if I ever checked out that SOLDOUT song but I have loved everything that I have heard by them so far, so hopefully this is a good'un too.
November 10, 20177 yr I never realised VNV Nation were a former UP winning artist ;o Most of the winners since I started entering (UP 10) I do remember liking quite a lot! 'RUOK' simply has to win this contest, there is no alternative x
November 11, 20177 yr Most of them were in UP before they were in BJSC I think ~ (possibly all bar SOLDOUT?)
November 11, 20177 yr I didn't even realise Joywave had been sent here before I sent Dangerous to BJSC, I only realised that when putting stuff together for this :')
November 11, 20177 yr Most of them were in UP before they were in BJSC I think ~ (possibly all bar SOLDOUT?)it just goes to show how much we recycle from there lmao
November 11, 20177 yr I never realised VNV Nation were a former UP winning artist ;o The first winner I was around for! Good song as well, easily their best. Because UP is FAR more strict on reusing artists - basically: don't do it, it's quite common for an artist first surfacing to go into UP, then turn up in BJSC, then actually get something popular with something far more accessible than that first UP entry. We have normally been really good at picking winners from UP, barely any there I wouldn't choose to listen to so it'll be quite tough to vote, I'd like Inouwee to sneak in (and maybe recency will help it) but I'm not expecting anything.
November 11, 20177 yr I didn't realize Purity Ring has won UP before. Fantastic. yay for me having my winner here and also my third placer from Nuggets in the other semi.
November 11, 20177 yr ooh yay!! some FAB entries here. i don't think bobmo will be able to hold its own (i always see it as a total fluke winner) but HOPEFULLY mssingno can do some damage!
November 19, 20177 yr So ever since Pink released 'What About Us' a few months ago I've been trying to work out what song it reminded me of, and now that I'm listening through these I realize the intro sounds like the intro to 'Lucifer's Eyes'!!! :o
November 20, 20177 yr Author Planning to host a plug session for this evening (Monday)! Not 100% sure on the time but I'll post an update in this thread. Can always do tomorrow if it doesn't work out for people.
November 20, 20177 yr Author Okay this is still happening just had a networking event at uni! Going to aim for 20:30 to start this- at the bus back home right now, might be a taad later but 9 at the latest. Fortunately it's only 25 songs so either way it won't go too late for anyone with an early start (I reckon 2 hours max). See you then! Would love to get more votes for this- only had 2 so far, I'm sure after the plug session and closer to the deadline more will come in but if you've just viewed this and it interests you at all just vote- it's so interesting hearing all the older winners!
