I loved the badgers! And indeed Riser's entry too.
I have sent the longest song to each of the four previous Nuggets contests that I have entered and I am still going to claim that record has continued based on the length of the video this time.

Just waiting for there to be 10 minutes of credits next time :lol:

13/30 | Suedehead2

MiG 15 - Cowboys & Indians

 

Suedehead is up next to bat with Liverpool band MiG 15, named after a Soviet era jet fighter aircraft and with music royalty in their blood, counting among their ranks one James McCluskey, son of Andy from Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark. Voters so far haven't been too impressed, with the song presently in the bottom 5, but all it takes is a few big fans and it could escape that fate, never say never.

The Joy Formidable's lead is given a slight bump, they now sit 6 points ahead of Soda Stereo who have suddenly hit a dry spell but nonetheless hold at #2. Seven Spires remain at #3 while Cassandra Jenkins is bumped back up to 4th and THE HARDKISS find themselves back in the top 5 at #5. It's a first 12 to Manchester Orchestra who promptly rise to unlucky for some 13th.

...I just realised I forgot to point Manchester Orchestra after forgetting which song it was when I went to relisten & assuming it was a classical piece that I didn't like.

 

Sorry Rollo!

All is forgiven. ;)

One Night Only - Plasticine

 

Another one of the more recognisable names in contention, English indie rockers One Night Only are best known for a trio of UK top 40 hits in 2008-2010 (including top 10 hit 'Just For Tonight') but show up in Nuggets with a single from their flop 2015 album, representing Wardy here. They got off to a good start but have struggled to keep up and are currently outside the top 20, we'll see if they can mount a comeback with still just over half the votes left to reveal.

 

 

Here’s your 12 McNuggets you ordered;

The #1 spot is retaken by Soda Stereo after they pick up their second 12 of the night, continuing to flip back and forth with The Joy Formidable who drop back to 2nd again, still just one point behind. Seven Spires, Cassandra Jenkins and THE HARDKISS remain in third through fifth.

 

And thank you to Wardy for that particularly delicious nugget which finally gives Mute Swan some more points, putting me back up to 11th.

Omg the McNuggets :lol:

 

Great presentation idea there!

Whoops

 

Will this prove decisive :o :o #mysteryandintrigue

Uh, hope not, I've been listening to 'The Silence' a lot and I'd give it a bit more points too... what a masterpiece :wub:

Thanks Everyone voting for 'Őszi ének' it seems now that it's not the flop I expected it to be (yet) :cheer:

Saint Nomad - Nothing To Lose

 

We're halfway through (although just under half of the songs revealed), next up we have Pete with Russian-American band Saint Nomad. Pete will be hoping for more fertile ground among the later voters as he unfortunately has one of four songs which are still on single figure points.

 

 

Hi, Pete here! Thanks Frank Bré for a fab contest, and here are my votes:

 

These songs Missed the Cut:

11. 12 The Joy Formidable - The Leopard And The Lung

14. 22 Soda Stereo - De Música Ligera

15. 08 THE HARDKISS - Kobra (feat. MONATIK)

16. 15 Seven Spires - Succumb

17. 09 Miss Grit - Impostor

18. 04 Mute Swan - Life-Like Dream

 

These songs were Good:

+3 23 Karen Zoid - Aeroplane Jane

+2 16 Cassandra Jenkins - Hard Drive

+1 19 Ian Post - Once And For All

 

These songs were Great:

+6 18 Michigander - Misery

+5 10 Story Untold - i luv that u hate me (feat. Kellin Quinn)

+4 11 Le Tigre - Deceptacon

 

These songs were Amazing:

+10 01 Kid Kapichi - Glitterati

+8 21 Joe Wong - Dreams Wash Away

+7 06 MiG 15 - Cowboys & Indians

 

And... this song Got the 12!

27 9 Saint Nomad - Nothing To Lose [PeteFromLeeds]

28 3 Ian Post - Once And For All

29 2 ENVYYOU - New Friends

 

The status quo is largely maintained here as Pete votes for only one of the top 5, that not being enough to push Cassandra Jenkins any higher than 4th. Soda Stereo, The Joy Formidable, Seven Spires and THE HARDKISS also hold their top 5 positions. One Night Only get a needed boost with their first 12 pushing them back up to #16. At the halfway mark we know the identity of none of the top 5 songs and only three of the top 10, how exciting.

 

I am honoured to be almost confused with Frank x

Any particularly surprising results for anyone at the halfway point? :thinking:

 

I wasn't anticipating Soda Stereo being a contender but not complaining!

Aeroplane Jane not doing better is a total shock!

16/30 | Juan Carlos

Soda Stereo - De Música Ligera

 

Opening up the second half of the votes we reveal the identity of the current winner - perhaps unsurprisingly if you knew they were from Argentina, it's fellow South American Juan Carlos who's behind this Latin rock band who are doing very well so far on Juan's first go at Nuggets (well, technically his third go after 2 of his previous attempts got vetoed this month - third time was the charm it seems!) Let's see if Juan shoots himself in the foot at all.

 

 

+12: One Night Only – "Plasticine"

+10: Mute Swan – "Life-Like Dream"

+08: Kid Kapichi – "Glitterati"

+07: ENV¥¥OU – "New Friends"

+06: Cassandra Jenkins – "Hard Drive"

+05: Manchester Orchestra – "The Silence"

+04: THE HARDKISS featuring MONATIK – "Кобра"

+03: Saint Nomad – "Nothing To Lose"

+02: Miss Grit – "Impostor"

+01: Ian Post – "Once And For All"

 

Honourable mention: W O L F C L U B featuring Summer Haze – "Just Drive"

29 4 Ian Post - Once And For All

 

Foot shooting is avoided as Juan maintains a one point lead with Soda Stereo over The Joy Formidable. Cassandra Jenkins pushes back into the top 3, pushing Seven Spires down to 4th, and THE HARDKISS continue to cling onto 5th. One Night Only's renaissance continues as they get a second 12 in a row and rise back into the top 10 at #8.

 

Some more high points to Mute Swan puts me back in the top 10 at #7 as well - very pleasantly surprised, not getting too many votes but they're high points when they do show up! Thank you Juan, really enjoyed your entry as well of course, always a sucker for a Spanish language song (basic reggaetón aside).

Any particularly surprising results for anyone at the halfway point? :thinking:

 

I wasn't anticipating Soda Stereo being a contender but not complaining!

I wasn't either but I'm here for it! :wub:

 

Great choice of entry Juan Carlos!

Not me giving Ian Post all its points so far :mellow: There's certainly been better instrumentals but it wasn't that bad!

 

I went back to Just for Tonight after seeing One Night Only in here, what a tune <3

 

Oh thank God, now it's just half.
