September 2, 20195 yr Ooh thanks so much Jeff for sending Mall Grab, really liked the song of course but it also reminded me of a really old Mall Grab potential I had *.* TY for the points RFC!
September 2, 20195 yr RabbitFurCoat there explaining his deep and meaningful relationship with ‘Silhouettes'. :lol: I'm surprised it's so high, as it took me a while to properly get into it. I was going to send their song 'Uncomfortably Numb' to BJSC earlier this year, but it featured Hayley Williams and the Paramore forum was created at the same time so assumed it'd be vetoed.
September 2, 20195 yr Gah. The top 2 would both make excellent winners! RFC at least giving 1 point to Mall Grab to make my prediction not look entirely unfounded. x
September 2, 20195 yr I was really expecting Mall Grab to be RFC for some reason! (Thought it would have fit in well with the likes of DJ Koze, Cousn and salute). In before he actually didn't like it at all. Mall Grab and HVOB were the only two acts I'd ever heard anything by so not a bad guess.
September 2, 20195 yr Author 23 IZZY ◼ 9mm Parabellum Bullet ‘ハートに火をつけて (Heart ni Hi wo Tsukete)' pWH11t2JKds Why ‘ハートに火をつけて (Heart ni Hi wo Tsukete)'? I found 9mm Parabellum Bullet a couple of months ago and was instantly struck by this song because of those intense and catchy riffs, some of the best I've ever heard in any J-rock. I was listening to it a lot on bullet trains in Japan and it was a really incredible experience. I was going to enter it somewhere, and after faffing around a bit with stuff I wasn't feeling for UP, I got inspired by blacksquare's suggestion to 'just send something you love' (paraphrasing), and I was certainly loving this to incredible levels over the past month. It's certainly not something I expect to do well but if it does I'll be chuffed.

September 2, 20195 yr OMG THANK YOU IZ!! Loved your entry too, was pretty confident 9mm Parabellum Bullet would be you as well!
September 2, 20195 yr Iz comes through with the 'obviously Iz' entry just when we least suspect it. (Maybe). Really liked this one though, the last thing I expected from a Japanese entry was for it to sound like something straight out of a Frank CD Swap! Poor brave 'Bol'.
September 2, 20195 yr Poor brave 'Bol'. THIS. It's like the only voters were vidcapper and common sense :(
September 2, 20195 yr THIS. It's like the only voters were vidcapper and common sense :( i guess it's just not welcome in this country!
September 2, 20195 yr Author 24 JONNY ◼ Robots in Disguise 'DIY' 5NlSSEL_iBk Why 'DIY'? I picked 'DIY' by Robots in Disguise because it's been one of my favourite songs since I really started listening to music that I had gone out and explored myself through the internet, magazines etc. rather than what was played on TV/radio. I love the message the song conveys and the harmonies within. It is long but doesn't overstay its welcome. Votes There was one clear winner for me which did not change from my first listen to the last; I will say that many of the songs impressed me much more on subsequent listens, especially 'Shoot Me Down', 'Tailpipe' (which was slightly reminiscent of some of the The Kills' earlier stuff) and 'She Won't Go Away' (a cross between Radlands-era MJs and Jenny Lewis, but a little less inspiring). That being said, only my number one pick would be an artist I would seek to listen to again, and I can say that I only genuinely liked my top five tracks. The others were just the best of the rest. 20 Black Country, New Road ‘Sunglasses (Edit)’ 15 Snapped Ankles ‘Tailpipe’ 12 Faye Webster ‘She Won't Go Away' 10 Fiona Walden ‘Shoot Me Down' 08 American Football ‘Silhouettes' 07 Sarathy Korwar ‘Bol (feat.
