May 1, 20196 yr Yeah it took a whole four years for us to recycle our allies but there we go *.* it doesn't really feel like a dirty recycle to me though because I did discover this LUNA song over a year before she was sent, I was a fool for sitting on it. I think I found something I liked more at the time and then just totally forgot about her until she was sent again. Now it's time. Yay #russianbloc, hope this will be a return to the final for Jadakissnia. Elsewhere, OH MY at my namesake being sent!! and I almost certainly misread El Mundo as El Mudo lol, an alternative El Chombo name *_* what a throwback 'Wet Dollars' is also, the name seemed so familiar that I thought it had actually been sent before but nope, I think it was just played on plug a couple of times back in the day. Looking forward to getting stuck into this contest *.*

May 1, 20196 yr Greenfroze got lucky to not have an entry clash as Travis originally confirmed that Mimoza song earlier in the week but then changed his entry :drama: Excited to hear Tartford, FLJ and Skall from the descriptions. I've also already heard the ILIRA song and I quite liked it, a LOT better than 'GET OFF MY D!CK' at the very least lmao x
May 1, 20196 yr also what kind of given name is 'Possum Plows'?!not entirely sure, might just be kiwi stuff or a stage name but eh. their name, their prerogative Openside has a non-binary fronter, which explains why I sent them to the Pride spin-off (and ended up forgetting about it due to finals) but still the rep *.*
