BJSC162: Suki Waterhouse - OMG

 

 

 

 

Back to remembering to update this thread - especially since I wanted to save the gorgeous graphics from this contest! Pestolia has chosen Suki Waterhouse this month, with a rock-tinged banger called OMG. Suki feels like one of the cheaper names we've sent but I feel it has quite a timeless feel as a song and could be from any time this side of the 2000s. The video features Suki absolutely mothering in a greenhouse where she is hoping to cultivate a higher finish than Pestolia's recent sub-30th-place run. Either way, here's hoping she makes the final and earns us a new record qualifier streak!

yaurrrr glad you liked the graphics :wub: Suki's not cheap because her thread got 0 replies in the Indie/Alt forum :kink:

BJSC163: DJ SG - Sosban Fach

 

 

Off the back of our joint-biggest hit to date thanks to Suki Waterhouse coming in 4th place, Pestolia has officially annexed Wales! I've been back and forth between Bristol and Cardiff this entire month and it felt very appropriate to send something in Welsh. I discovered this song through one of my flatmates (a quite frankly militant Welsh rugby fan) playing it on St. David's Day while we all ate Welsh cakes, and I just immediately knew I had to do something with it. The song itself is a dance update of a Welsh folk song (the title translating as 'Little Saucepan') and the music video is one of the highest-definition videos of all time, letting you really feel like you're in the room with DJ SG himself.

Glad to be back in Sovarasma again, loving the dedication you've put into both contests! Oop, flop Suki x

BJSC164: Dry Cleaning - Anna Calls From The Arctic

 

 

After BJSC said NO to Welsh folk-dance excellence Pestolia is back with something very different! I don't really remember where I came across this, I think it was in the comments of a Guardian article tbh. But I think the message is really interesting, it deals quite nicely with the gradual 'enshittification' of late stage capitalism: 'Nothing works / Everything's expensive / And opaque and privatized / My shoe organizing thing arrived / Thank God'.

BJSC165: Emilia - GTA.mp3

 

 

Pestolia's latest entry is courtesy of Argentine singer Emilia! She's described this song as inspired by Kylie Minogue (maybe there's a different Kylie Minogue in Argentina bc I don't really see the resemblance x) and it's a dance-pop bop. It's in a similar vein to last year's 'mariposas' (albeit with slightly racier lyrics) which scored Pestolia a 13th place smasha, and we're hoping for another pop bloc success story this month!

BJSC167: The Dare - Perfume

 

 

Oops, let me try and remember to update this thread anyway this month Pestolia is going indie sleaze with The Dare, everyone's favourite honorary British person. He seems to be having a real moment rn with producing a massive hit in the form of Guess for Charli and Billie, while his own tracks Girls and Perfume are making waves online. Hopefully that perfume smells like a return to qualifying for the final!
