well I'm glad three of my top 5 are still in it :P Thanks to everyone for top 10! :heart: :heart:

 

Great showing for coi too considering this is his first rodeo!

Thank you Blacksquare for giving Vincent Tyler a silver, as well as everyone that voted for this song.

Oscillations is a song that sounded ahead of its time.

And thank you Unknown Pleasures for leading me to discover the excellence that is Huff And Puff.

Sorry I completely forgot about following this due to the BJSC plug session, good thing it's not finished yet (and I'm still in it, which means I have avoided coming 11th three times in a row, hooray)!

 

Another handful of songs in the last few which I didn't vote for but they sounded better than I remember them sounding on the second listen - I think AU PALAIS is definitely one that promises more than it actuall delivers but it still sounds pretty good. Actually a little surprised Federica wasn't a winner contender, reminded me a bit of Elliphant's 'Down On Life', still a decent result for Travis though! And Nora Medin is another one that just missed out on my votes and might have scraped in if I did them today. The only other one of my votes I've lost now is 'Huff + Puff' which was a really fun song, got 5 points from me, a great choice Addy!

 

5 of my top 6 including all of my top 3 (plus one more of my votes) still in this along with me, yay! I did like the other three remaining songs too so a really strong top 10 overall. Really pleased to see 65daysofstatic doing this well despite making a fairly limited impact on plug :heart:

Great to see Black Atlass do well, one of the great tracks of last year for me (thanks Jordan! I've been so wondering who sent it in, and I shouldn't be at all surprised considering how often I rate your choices! :cheer: ) - you must have been dying to tell me when it topped my personal charts :lol: )

 

Thanks dandy for the teasing 10, I've still got 3 in the top which made my personal charts, including one I accidentally put in my year-end BJSC rundown so oops cats out the bag on that one (now removed from it!), so fingers-crossed they do well :)

So it's RFC who falls out first within the top 10 but this is still yet another very good result for him after picking up a couple of sets of max points along the way. Definitely one of the better tracks entered this time around, it's great to see something with louder guitars at the fore and a slightly more punk(ish) (very ish) vibe doing so well in this. I've been meaning to check more of the band's stuff out but haven't quite got around to it as yet, if you do read this let us know where to go next...

Glad Estrons managed to get a top ten finish! Loved that one, was a great discovery!

A couple more fall out next as we had a tie for 8th place. Unmake the Wild Light got a couple of max points as the epic instrumental proved to be an effective closing track for the first disc - was this your debut entry also coi or have you had one before? Either way congrats on a top 10 finish! Also, coi has to have the most annoying correction ever, I've just had it change to 'cod', 'coy', 'coo', 'how' and 'cop' in this post alone. Also featuring here is Cody's entry which also grabbed a maximum along the way courtesy of Mÿrtle. Not quite a medal position for me but the track was definitely one of the highlights for me with it's somewhat chilled vibes.

So happy with joint 8th for my debut entry! Four medal positions as well!

 

Thanks so much to everyone who voted for it! :heart:

Victoriya was my 7 pointer but it sounded way better on the relisten, would probably give it at least 10 now! Would not have guessed that one was Cody.

 

65daysofstatic of course my favourite, post-rock instrumentals can pretty much never go wrong :heart: a great debut from coi. Estrons only just missed out on getting points from me as well.

Providing one of the more unique opening tracks of any contest, it's FrankLuck and his track Mapache! I loved this, although appear not have pointed it so sorry about that Frank, and it definitely was a whole heap of fun to both listen to and watch. The whole spaghetti western vibe was kinda unique for this contest, plus also bringing back vibes of Misirlou from the awesome Pulp Fiction. Bravo squire!

GOLD from Rush

Silver from Brett-Butler, Bré and Addy King

 

Yay, I'm happy with 7th, a lot better than I expected! + my whole top 5 is still to come xx

Now this one was an absolute beaut. Swirling synths and a feeling of the track just continuing to grow and grow (strangely without ever really doing so) made for such a commanding listen for me, sort of like background music that you simply can't ignore. Apparently Bré chose to send this track because it reminded him of his true love as they hadn't been in touch for a little while, so so so sweet! :wub: I have since been in touch with Jon Secada on your behalf Bré and he's so chuffed that he'll only have to wait just another day until he sees you again :wub: :wub: :wub:
