February 27, 20214 yr Author 29/30 | Jupiter Story Untold - i luv that u hate me (feat. Kellin Quinn) Our penultimate vote comes from Jupiter who sent Canadian pop punk band Story Untold (with the assist from American singer Kellin Quinn best known as the vocalist from Sleeping With Sirens). They've been doing very well despite a less than overwhelmingly positive reception on Synctube, currently just outside the top 5 - of course Jupiter can't get himself back up there but maybe our final voter could. lnyHujPNfhU joe wong 12 wolfclub 10 plasticine 8 michigander 7 glitterati 6 kalandra 5 starbenders 4 envyyou 3 ko6pa 2 lovers dream 1 1 105 W O L F C L U B - Just Drive (feat.

Fyfe Dangerfield) [Ghosty.] 28 25 MiG 15 - Cowboys & Indians [suedehead2] 29 9 Ian Post - Once And For All [Jacob] Late stage drama as W O L F C L U B pick up 10 points and take the lead for the first time with just one vote to go (becoming only the second act over 100 points in the process)! Has Cassandra Jenkins' victory been cruelly snatched away by the late voters? She dips back to 2nd place, while Soda Stereo fall to 3rd. THE HARDKISS nudge back up to 4th ahead of Frozen Night. Another song gets its first 12, this time Joe Wong whose Netflix sponsorship finally pays its biggest dividend pushing the song up to 17th. Only the top 3 can win now - JSG vs. blacksquare vs. Juan Carlos, one going for a second Nuggets win, and the other two gunning for their first (the latter of which would be a win on their first ever attempt at Nuggets) - who's it gonna be?
February 27, 20214 yr Author Oh no... I wondered if Bre might have been after my vote for a particular reason :P Maybe :smoke: Maybe I was desperately after dhwe's votes as well for other reasons :smoke: (of course the main reason I wanted them was to have a full house ^_^ but the dramatic close finish is a bonus too xo)
February 27, 20214 yr Author 29.9/30 | dhwe Told Slant - Family Still #dhwedecides as he cast our final vote (cutting it a little fine as it arrived as I was halfway through my marathon of results prep, which I naturally ended up leaving all until today, but it's ok as a full house of votes is the most important thing xx). Of course he's behind the last unrevealed song (which was also the last song in the running order funnily enough), courtesy of Brooklyn emo / indie pop act Told Slant who have been in the 20s for most of the results, currently at #22. FSXFqNTOWfs :thinking: +12: ????? +10: Michigander - Misery +8: Miss Grit - Impostor +7: Yard Act - Dark Days +6: Mute Swan - Life-Like Dream +5: Karen Zoid - Aeroplane Jane +4: Le Tigre - Deceptacon +3: Manchester Orchestra - The Silence +2: ENVYYOU - New Friends +1: Rinse & Repeat - Noise Inside My Ear I mean I have to create some drama when it's this close don't I. dhwe's 12 will be revealed in the next post but until then here's how the scoreboard looks with the rest of his points disseminated: 1 105 W O L F C L U B - Just Drive (feat. Summer Haze) [JSG] 2 103 Cassandra Jenkins - Hard Drive [blacksquare] 3 96 Soda Stereo - De Música Ligera [Juan Carlos] 4 85 THE HARDKISS - Kobra (feat.

Fyfe Dangerfield) [Ghosty.] 28 25 MiG 15 - Cowboys & Indians [suedehead2] 29 9 Ian Post - Once And For All [Jacob] In the 10 to 1 section there's no sign of any of the 3 potential winners - that means it's W O L F C L U B's for the taking unless the mystery 12 goes to either Cassandra Jenkins or Soda Stereo (and of course W O L F C L U B could yet take it themselves to finish with a decent win margin). Thank you to dhwe for one last 6+ point haul for Mute Swan which for the moment puts me back in the top 5, I really did not think this was even a remote possibility with such a last minute entry but who am I to question it! We'll see if the 12 goes to Frozen Night, Story Untold or The Joy Formidable to ruin that for me :magic:
February 27, 20214 yr You all totally threw me on synctube saying it was the worst song of the bunch! Cheekies :P
February 27, 20214 yr Nice to see Aeroplane Jane getting some points in the final vote too, it gets a top 20 finish after all! Hoping for a Soda Stereo win, but will be happy with a W O L F C L U B win too!
February 27, 20214 yr Author 30/30 | dhwe (12 point reveal) +12: Cassandra Jenkins - Hard DriveWhich means... :o FINAL SCOREBOARD: eW8XoovSlsM :yahoo: :cheer: 1 115 Cassandra Jenkins - Hard Drive [blacksquare] :cheer: :yahoo: 2 105 W O L F C L U B - Just Drive (feat.

Fyfe Dangerfield) [Ghosty.] 28 25 MiG 15 - Cowboys & Indians [suedehead2] 29 9 Ian Post - Once And For All [Jacob] And at the end of the day, Cassandra Jenkins gets to win after all as she finishes off in style with a 4th 12 (matching THE HARDKISS for the most of the night, with no other songs managing more than 2), finishing with a 10 point lead over W O L F C L U B with Soda Stereo taking 3rd place, THE HARDKISS in 4th and somehow, somehow, myself getting a second top 5 in a row with Mute Swan taking 5th place (I honestly was expecting bottom 5!) A massive congratulations to blacksquare on a first Nuggets win and looking forward to you hopefully hosting (and let's hope we don't have to wait until 2022 for that :ph34r:) I am absolutely thrilled that the recipient of my 12 points managed to win the whole thing in my hosted contest, what an outcome! And especially grateful for dhwe coming in clutch after W O L F C L U B nearly snatched it on the strength of the late voters which would have left a little bit of a bad taste in my mouth even though I always accept late votes (not least because 'Just Drive' didn't make my votes, although it wasn't far off). Also really pleased with the result for Soda Stereo as that was an excellent debut entry from Juan Carlos, and happy to see Frozen Night, Miss Grit and The Joy Formidable all in the top 10 too (though a shame the latter faded so much after looking like a heavy contender for quite a while!) Would have liked to see Rinse & Repeat making a bit more noise but top 20 isn't too bad - better than can be said for my other standout Dalriada who got off to a great start but then the points dried up entirely leaving them in the bottom 5 after all :cry: Also disappointed at Ian Post never quite making it to double figures, deserved better </3 but ah wells. Thanks to all who participanted in another fun edition of Nuggets, very happy once again that we had a full house of votes and of course over the moon with my own result! Hope you have all enjoyed :cheer: (and I haven't had time to double check my adding up, I'm usually pretty accurate with this but I will double check it now just in case so stay tuned for a possible 'oops' post if I find any errors xx I'll post a spreadsheet once I have double checked B-) x) mandatory added quote tag so this post doesn't appear blank, surprised this didn't happen until now
February 27, 20214 yr A good winner, well done BlackSquare. A shame about the massive drought at the end saw me fall down to 9th but still a decent top 10 finish.
February 27, 20214 yr Congratulations blacksquare on a narrow but deserved win, and well done to JSG a and Juan Carlos for their entries nearly nabbing it near the end! Great work by the host too, thank you Bré for all your hard work.
February 27, 20214 yr Thanks Bre for hosting! Wonderful edition again and congrats to blacksquare for the win! Sadly have to settle for the bottom 5 which does look like modern pop rock isn't sitting well with people probably
February 27, 20214 yr What a great song to win. In my notes I described as Little Fluffy Clouds meets O Superman meets who knows what which makes for a nice quirky song. Thanks for running this Bre! Results within 24 hours of the closing date. We are truly blessed :o
February 27, 20214 yr congrats blacksquare on you win. so happy with 4th for HARDKISS especially collecting tied most 12's with winning song :cheer: I don't know for sure but I feel this is the highest I've been in Nuggets so great result overall!!!
