20/30 | RabbitFurCoat

The Joy Formidable - The Leopard And The Lung

 

Another one of the big hitters revealed, it's RabbitFurCoat behind Welsh alt rock / dream pop band The Joy Formidable who have been either 1st or 2nd for much of the results so far with an (excellent) album track from their 2011 debut which was a minor UK top 40 success. Unfortunately it has just lost its top 2 status, currently in 4th, and these votes won't help that but we'll see if the last ten voters restore it to its former glory.

 

 

Hi Bre, here are my votes:

 

12 - Miss Grit

10 - Manchester Orchestra

8 - Frozen Night

7 - Rinse & Repeat

6 - Mute Swan

5 - Cassandra Jenkins

4 - Yard Act

3 - Anna Terhnheim

2 - W O L F C L U B

1 - Starbenders

 

1 68 Soda Stereo - De Música Ligera [Juan Carlos]

2 68 Cassandra Jenkins - Hard Drive

3 61 Frozen Night and PrinceWhateverer - Lunar Eclipse III (feat. Holly Frances Royle and Andra Stefan) [Chez Wombat]

4 60 Story Untold - i luv that u hate me (feat. Kellin Quinn)

5 59 The Joy Formidable - The Leopard And The Lung [RabbitFurCoat]

6 58 Seven Spires - Succumb [iz]

7 57 THE HARDKISS - Kobra (feat. MONATIK) [Addy!]

18 34 Joe Wong - Dreams Wash Away

19 32 Dalriada - Őszi Ének [FrankLuck]

20 30 Rinse & Repeat - Noise Inside My Ear [Jade]

21 26 Starbenders - Cover Me

22 23 Kid Kapichi - Glitterati [severin]

23 23 Le Tigre - Deceptacon

24 23 ENVYYOU - New Friends

25 21 Anna Ternheim - Lovers Dream (feat. Fyfe Dangerfield) [Ghosty.]

26 21 MiG 15 - Cowboys & Indians [suedehead2]

27 20 Told Slant - Family Still

28 16 Saint Nomad - Nothing To Lose [PeteFromLeeds]

29 4 Ian Post - Once And For All

 

Soda Stereo continue at #1 but are now tied in points by Cassandra Jenkins who stays at her #2 high on the cusp of taking the lead for the first time. A medal position for Frozen Night et al. sees them crack the top 5 for the first time at #3, will we get to see another classique Chez 2nd place? Story Untold dip to 4th and RFC's own The Joy Formidable drop another place to #5. Miss Grit finally picks up her first 12 after two 10s earlier, re-entering the top 10 for Harry at #9.

 

Thank you to RFC for another vote for Mute Swan (still all of my votes received so far have been 6+ points!), pushing me back up to #11 once again.

just over 2 hours left and I'm still waiting on 19 votes...

Don’t forget to vote in BJSC 132 tonight if you haven’t yet done so! :P

Cheers RabbitFurCoat! I believe 7 is the second highest set of points that I've received tonight. Back in the top 20 :cheer:
Once and For All really doesn't deserve to be that far away from everything else! (neither does my entry but oh well)

Agreed, both were in my top 15 but I couldn't vote for that many!

21/30 | blacksquare

Cassandra Jenkins - Hard Drive

 

It's blacksquare time, and time to reveal another song that looks to be possibly in contention for the win as he is behind Brooklyn singer-songwriter Cassandra Jenkins who is currently in 2nd place and tied with the leader on points. This was my 12 pointer, an absolutely lovely bit of spoken word-ish mood music (I like to think of it as a less problematic Lana Del Rey song), thrilled to see it doing so well, let's hope it can keep that up!

 

 

12 Mute Swan 'Life-like Dream'

10 Rinse & Repeat 'Noise Inside My Ear'

08 Miss Grit 'Impostor'

07 King Hannah 'Crème Brûlée'

06 Told Slant 'Family Still'

05 Le tigre 'Deceptacon'

04 Soda Stereo 'De Música Ligera'

03 The Joy Formidable 'The Leopard and the Lung'

02 Joe Wong 'Dreams Wash Away'

01 Karen Zoid 'Aeroplane Jane'

 

I had to give Aeroplane Jane something x

27 21 MiG 15 - Cowboys & Indians [suedehead2]

28 16 Saint Nomad - Nothing To Lose [PeteFromLeeds]

29 4 Ian Post - Once And For All

 

Moderate foot shooting as blacksquare moves the win a bit further away from himself, Soda Stereo retaking a 4 point lead. Cassandra Jenkins still holds at #2 and in 3rd... what's this, I am still doing well?? We have a nice little 12 swap situation here as blacksquare gives Mute Swan a second 12 of the night, which sees me flying to a new highest position yet of #3. This really wasn't the plan! The Joy Formidable creep back up to #4 not willing to be written off just yet, while Miss Grit also re-enters the top 5 at #5. There's now only one song in the current top 10 yet to be unmasked.

 

(oh and by the way what excellent taste with that Brade top 2 there xx)

Yesss blacksquare :wub: I remember you loving my song on SyncTube so I'm pleased to see that translating so well. Almost an exact point swap *.*

22/30 | Ansel

Starbenders - Cover Me

 

Another first time Nuggets participant now, Ansel's debut in the contest comes from Atlanta glam rock band Starbenders who are currently just outside the top 20.

 

 

Hi, here's my votes for the nuggets contest! Really hard to choose a final order but I think I'm pretty happy with this now:

 

+12 Saint Nomad - Nothing To Lose

+10 Miss Grit - Impostor

+08 W O L F C L U B - Just Drive (feat. Summer Haze)

25 26 ENVYYOU - New Friends

26 25 Kid Kapichi - Glitterati [severin]

27 21 Anna Ternheim - Lovers Dream (feat. Fyfe Dangerfield) [Ghosty.]

28 21 MiG 15 - Cowboys & Indians [suedehead2]

29 4 Ian Post - Once And For All

 

Both of the top 2 get points here and hold their positions with Soda Stereo continuing to be resilient at the top spot and Cassandra Jenkins holding at #2. Miss Grit is back in the top 3 rising two places to #3 after another medal position secured, The Joy Formidable stick at #4 and Mute Swan fall back to #5 after their brief sugar high. Saint Nomad have been struggling to make headway but they get a nice boost with a first 12 which lifts them from the bottom 2 up to 22nd, just ahead of Ansel's own entry. Ian Post sadly still sits on just four points while everyone else is now over 20, won't someone throw him a bone?

Wow, thanks so much for the votes so far. Definitely wasn't expecting to be within a distance of winning, I'd be happy to losing to any of that top 5 though, Hard Drive and The Joy Formidable were fantastic *.*

23/30 | Brett-Butler

King Hannah - Crème Brûlée

 

Next to reveal is Brett-Butler with another nice and vibey Lana Del Rey-ish track (not as great as the Cassandra Jenkins song for me but still another goodun), this one coming from King Hannah, another Liverpool group. They're currently doing pretty decently, in the top 15 as we start to approach the business end of results.

29 9 Ian Post - Once And For All

 

A full 12 points (the second of the night) from his fellow Lana-alike sender puts blacksquare and Cassandra Jenkins into the lead for the first time, finally dethroning Soda Stereo who dip to 2nd, still only two points behind (aided by also picking up some solid pointage from Brett-Butler). Miss Grit stays at #3 while Mute Swan rise back to 4th after getting yet another big points haul (what is going on! thank you Brett <3), knocking The Joy Formidable back to 5th. Ian Post more than doubles his score but remains just shy of double figures.

Hurrah for Ian Post getting some points at last

Thanks to everyone who's voted for The Leopard and the Lung, it's great to see it doing so well :wub:

 

They're not a band I'd have attempted to send to previous editions due to their one time dalliances with the chart but they get less with every album and never get spoken about on here so thought an old album track would be safe, it's certainly in my top 5 of theirs (although from their second album Bre :kink:)

29 9 Ian Post - Once And For All

 

No points go to either of the top 2 from this vote, Cassandra Jenkins and Soda Stereo holding firm in 1st and 2nd nonetheless. The Joy Formidable remain a formidable challenge to the leaders as they rise back to 3rd, knocking Miss Grit and Mute Swan back to 4th and 5th. Kid Kapichi had a slow start being stuck on just 1 point for some time but have been quietly amassing more points and now get a first 12, rising into the top 20 as a result.
