May 31, 20205 yr The points are certainly being spread around. There are still many potential winners.
May 31, 20205 yr Author 15. blacksquare was behind… Westerman - Confirmation XIiEh05reck Sorry for this being so late — and for leaving the Plug session without saying anytning. Tsk. Thank you for hosting! My votes: 12 Soccer Mommy - Circle the Drain 10 BAILEN - Your Love Is All I Know 08 Ellis - Shame 07 Bebe - Malo 06 cheerbleederz - sometimes i cry at work 05 Working Men's Club - A.A.A.A. 04 Moaning - Fall In Love 03 Egoism - What Are We Doing? 02 DI-RECT - Times Are Changing 01 Club Smith - Young Defeatists Now it’s blacksquare with ‘Confirmation’ by London-based musician Westerman! The glittering synths mixed with guitar and piano provide the recipe to a dreamy, 80s-sounding entry. It’s about the unpredictability of the creative process. How sometimes the best ideas are birthed when you’re not thinking about the project in hand at all. I just want to stargaze to the soundtrack of this right now tbh. ‘Confirmation’ is in a respectable 13th place right now. blacksquare gives Soccer Mommy a helping hand with 12 points, allowing that to advance into the top 5. BAILEN continues to make progress, with 10 points here, so this Jordan entry is now as high as 7th! 8 points go to Ellis so ‘Shame’ is up to 4th now. The top 3 remain unchanged.

May 31, 20205 yr Thanks Dexton & blacksquare! Back in the top 10 after dipping out yay ~ As I said in my votes I haven't really cared at all for the previous songs I'd heard from Westerman, they just came across to me as 'generic indie band #505', but there was definitely something a lot more standout about this song from them :heart: Very surprised at Math The Band being in the mix with the contenders at the moment.
May 31, 20205 yr Author 16. King Rollo was behind… Karnataka - Secrets of Angels hb8IcGOGZm8 There were a great selection of songs in this contest. I couldn't find any room in my vote for the songs by Moaning,Westerman,Windwaker,Kasalla or Soccer Mommy. They were all very good. Here is my top 10: 12pts - Alter Bridge - Blackbird 10 - Sonata Arctica - Whirlwind 8 - Summoning - Land Of The Dead 7 - Colony House - You Know It 6 - Ellis - Shame 5 - Falkkone - Licht Und Schatten 4 - Club Smith - Young Defeatists 3 - Folkstone - In Taberna 2 - Larkin Poe - Preachin' Blues 1 - Bailen - Your Love Is All I Know Next it is revealed that Rollo is behind the 20 minute song ‘Secrets of Angels’ by Karnataka. Who would’ve ever guessed that? Well, it is paying off for Rollo so far, as ‘Secrets of Angels’ currently sits in sixth place. The prog rock group decided to go by Karnataka after founding member Ian Jones was inspired by trips to India. They describe ‘Secrets of Angels’, taken from the album of the same name, as a “20-minute epic opus”. Oh it’s epic alright. There are plenty of twists and turns too in that duration. On plug.dj it was described as “a Frozen song with a guitar”. As for Rollo’s votes, he awards Alter Bridge his 12 so that climbs up to 9th place now. His 10 points to Sonata Arctica ensure that it rises from last place. Now it’s ‘Fox’ by Dogleg stuck down there. Rollo awards the second longest song in the contest ‘Land Of The Dead’ with 8 points so that is now in the top 15. Things still looking pretty nail-biting at the top.

May 31, 20205 yr Wow, my first double-digit points and first time in the top 10, thanks blacksquare! Wow at Working Mens Club and FalKKone still holding strong in the top 2!
May 31, 20205 yr I knew one of those long songs was Rollo but thought Summoning might be more likely, Karnataka was fantastic though, thanks for that discovery :wub:
May 31, 20205 yr It's like Rollo knew someone else was sending a 13 minute song and so had to send something even longer :lol: Dogleg need more points pls
May 31, 20205 yr Author 17. Leww was behind… Summoning - Land Of The Dead mtFfskf2h9c 12 karnataka 10 moaning 8 ellis 7 egoism 6 amyl & the sniffers 5 windwaker 4 soccer mommy 3 shangralas 2 westerman 1 colony house thank you! 💋 So we just found out the identity of the poster behind the 20 minute song… now it’s revealed that Leww is the one behind the 13 minute song! Here we have a long atmospheric black metal epic from the Austrian group Summoning. This certainly stood out in the contest for the length, vocal style, choir chorus and powerful instrumentation! Leww is currently sitting in a respectable 15th place. #longsongbloc solidarity swiftly continues here as 12 points are awarded to Rollo’s 20 minute song from Karnataka, so that is now back up to 2nd! However, we have a new leader in Ellis who received Leww’s 8 points. Exciting. In the middle of those, the silver medal went to Moaning, so Bré finds himself back up to 7th.

May 31, 20205 yr Yes,it was me. :P My first Nuggets entry (15 mins long) stormed into an early lead which it didn't hold onto and the same seems to be happening here. The longsongbloc obviously vote early.
May 31, 20205 yr Thank you Leww :wub: x Summoning I am sure will end up being one of the more memorable songs from this edition so I maybe should have thrown it a point or two for that alone - very bold choice. I'd say it's a shock coming from Leww but I remember at one point you were considering an even more extreme song as a BJSC potential :lol:
May 31, 20205 yr Thanks to Chez and Leww for the 12s. I was confident Secrets Of Angels might get a few maximum scores even if many voters would not give it any points.
May 31, 20205 yr 15. blacksquare was behind… Westerman - Confirmation One of the few times I still stand behind a song on a competition like this Just as dreamy as the first time I heard it~
May 31, 20205 yr Author 18. RabbitFurCoat was behind… Amyl & The Sniffers - Starfire 500 HtQQJ3QNn50 Hi Jade, Here are my votes: 12 Working Men's Club 10 Summoning 8 Ellis 7 Egoism 6 Moaning 5 Dogleg 4 Soccer Mommy 3 Math The Band 2 DI-RECT 1 Bloxx Thanks, Mark Next up we have RabbitFurCoat and he is behind ‘Starfire 500’ by Amyl & The Sniffers! They’re a pub rock / punk rock group from Australia. ’Starfire 500’ gives me serious Courtney Barnett vibes but that may just be the Australian thing. This entry is pretty suspenseful as the instrumental takes its sweet time to stop being the sole focus, with the vocals joining the wild guitar playing almost 2 minutes in. This entry is currently sitting in 25th - a bit of a recovery from earlier. RabbitFurCoat awards 12 points to Working Men’s Club so that is back up to 2nd! Ellis keeps the first place spot for now with an 8 point boost. Just 2 points between that top 2. Summoning also grab 10 points here so Leww is now tied for a top 10 spot! SCOREBOARD 1 75 Ellis - Shame 2 73 Working Men's Club - A.A.A.A. 3 62 Karnataka - Secrets Of Angels [King Rollo] 4 60 FalKKonE - Licht Und Schatten [Chez Wombat] 5 59 Soccer Mommy - Circle the Drain 6 57 Math The Band - Four To Six 7 54 Moaning - Fall In Love [bré] 8 45 Colony House - You Know It [Dexton] 9 42 BAILEN - Your Love Is All I Know [Riser] 10 42 Alter Bridge - Blackbird [awardinary] 11 42 Summoning - Land Of The Dead [Leww] 12 41 Larkin Poe - Preachin' Blues 13 40 Bebe - Malo [Addy] 14 38 Windwaker - My Empire 15 33 Shangralas - White Gold [suedehead2] 16 32 Westerman - Confirmation [blacksquare] 17 26 cheerbleederz - sometimes i cry at work [WhoOdyssey] 18 26 Club Smith - Young Defeatists 19 26 Egoism - What Are We Doing?

May 31, 20205 yr I wasn't sure Starfire 500 would appeal to many, mainly because of the vocal. I saw them live last year and they were exceptional, listened to them a lot since then. I've really enjoyed listening to Working Men's Club this year, glad to see them at the top.
May 31, 20205 yr Thank you RFC! (Although I thought from your earlier post in this thread that you didn't particularly like Moaning? Unless you just meant you didn't like the previous songs you'd heard from them). 'Starfire 500' another one that I do really wish I'd had space to include in my votes. Ellis is a nice new winner, voted for all of the current top 5 so hopefully should be heading for a winner I can approve of x
