March 17, 20223 yr Rollo as Cellar Darling! Great choice and band, I've been reliving their other material because of sending 'DANCE' The betrayal x Sorry, I loved the BaNG Dream/J-rock sound (though I've never seen BaNG Dream either), just this coming along with a really strong contest pushed it below my post-rock and emo needs. Thank you for all the huge points so far, I'm very happy to be doing this well already with Nocturna ^_^
March 17, 20223 yr Wow thanks so much Rollo! :wub: so my inkling of you being behind Cellar Darling was right. Love that we have traded 12s *.* It was an easy choice to give my 12 points to Bruit. I was enthralled by it the first time I listened to it. Thanks for your 12 points as well. Long song solidarity!
March 17, 20223 yr Ooh I was curious to see who sent And So I Watch You From Afar, great entry Mr. bySmashMouth! Really pleased to see them doing so well, makes me wonder why I never got around to sending them myself before but at least someone has eventually haha. (a New Rivermaya BJSC return after 84 years in the wilderness would not go amiss judging by the taste on display here x) Exciting to still have so many real contenders for the win at this late stage, a lot of those would be good options.
March 17, 20223 yr Author 23 ROB S ◼ Poets of the Fall 'Locking Up the Sun' V9vHb2WRlwI Why ''Locking Up The Sun''? I chose 'Locking Up The Sun' by Finnish band Poets of the Fall because of the cool rocky electronic sound to it. It really sets in motion from that pre chorus part which is actually my favourite bit of the song but the chorus and the whole song is fab too. There's not many of their songs that stuck with me wanting to return to but this one (and the other one I confirmed until I changed to this) was on replay especially last year as it appeared in my top songs on Spotify.

'I Cannot Get You Out Of My Head (feat. voxeaa)' +01 And So I Watch You from Afar '7 Billion People all Alive at Once' 'Seguramente Fui Yo' is my 12 because of how different it was and how instantly it grabbed me from the beginning with the guitar. A lot of interesting stuff musically going on with pleasant vocals and the musical part half way through which sounds like some kind of Irish wedding dance/jig from eons ago. fab folky guitary choice this. It was an envious lead for a while but Gang of Youths have been dethroned by Cellar Darling. Our eclectic tastes result in another twelve going to a brand new song — Maria Rodés is the lucky one this time. ◼◼◼ Scoreboard 01 87 Cellar Darling ‘DANCE' KING ROLLO 02 84 Gang of Youths 'in the wake of your leave’ WHOODYSSEY 03 83 MASTER BOOT RECORD ‘Ftp' DOBBO 04 79 KennyHoopla 'how will i rest in peace if i'm buried by a highway?//‘ RABBITFURCOAT 05 78 Nocturna 'New Evil’ IZZY 06 76 God Is an Astronaut 'Forever Lost’ CHEZ WOMBAT 07 75 And So I Watch You from Afar '7 Billion People all Alive at Once’ ALL★BYSMASHMOUTH 08 65 BRUIT ≤ 'The Machine Is Burning (Live)’ JADE 09 60 Baltra 'Will You Be?

March 17, 20223 yr Sorry my commentary was so brief. I should really have expanded on what I like about my own song. Thanks to all who have given it some points. Good to see it still has a chance of winning.
March 17, 20223 yr *gasp* omgggg thanks for the 12 points Roba!! :wub: :wub: Glad you like the sound of the song ;) also caught up with the results
March 17, 20223 yr Author 24 FRANKLUCK ◼ Esti Kornél ‘Utánad’ skouomx3bNI Why '’Utánad’? Esti Kornél's been around for a while here, but they are quite a new discovery to me. 'Utánad' was number 1 on my personal chart for some weeks, I was curious to see if this beautiful song could get some fans without understanding the lyrics. (I don't expect much success though).

(CFCF Remix)' 02 nicebeatsprod. 'I Cannot Get You Out Of My Head (feat. voxeaa)' 01 Nocturna 'New Evil' It was a very easy decision, not even 'Ftp' was really close. KennyHoopla could've been a contender but I've listened to 'how will i rest in peace if i'm buried by a highway?//' countless times, I usually penalize entries like this, I don't like giving max points to songs I already know. Back to TORRES: I loved 'Sprinter' back then, but I think 'Thirstier' is even better, it grabbed me instantly. I'm sure I'm going to listen to it loads in the following months. ..And another song gets their first twelve points of the night — it is great seeing such a broad amount of love being shared around.

March 17, 20223 yr Not exactly a huge surprise but it's a real shame to see Esti Kornél so low down. Looks like the foreign language songs in general are having a rough time here.
March 17, 20223 yr Author 25 BLACKSQUARE ◼ CRUMB ‘BNR’ XL4dcAIWqgA Why 'BNR'? My taste is always going to lean more towards laidback and lowkey — which doesn’t always work for a contest like this, but I like really how simple ‘BNR’ is and hope it manages to grab some people amongst a group of strong songs. There is a slight trip-hop element to the production which I love, the guitar riff is used sparingly, and I always enjoy an outro with a production switch-up (as short as this one is).

I can appreciate them from afar but something doesn't click. It’s baffling to enjoy heavy electronic music but draw the line when a guitar is involved. It's annoying to feel so limited with my taste sometimes. I would say ‘Will You Be? (CFCF Remix)' is probably the most un-Nuggets song for me to choose, but I can’t help it — something a little electronic, nostalgic, easy? I’m all in. It really reminds me of something some indie synth bands would have released around 2007-2012 — which makes me feel extremely old to have those as a nostalgic reference. But it’s wonderful. Did I go and listen to The Teenagers immediately after listening to this for the first time? Maybe.

March 17, 20223 yr Yay host points, thank you! The winning predictions aren't quite happening here but I'd be very happy with top 10.
March 17, 20223 yr Amazed to see this finish in the mid-table and would've qualified in a BJSC semi! I guess I can extend my congratulations to Dobbo if non-participant votes aren't in? EDIT: Thought the DNV ones are not counted in the sequence lmao Edited March 17, 20223 yr by HuhdMeClosting
March 17, 20223 yr I had already heard 'BNR' once before the contest but I enjoyed it a lot more hearing it in the contest after it not really grabbing me the first time! Thanks blacksquare for another handful of points as well.
March 17, 20223 yr Author 26 RISER ◼ CRASHDÏET 'Generation Wild’ rVXSr-C12ak Why 'Generation Wild'? I've known ‘Generation Wild’ since before I joined Buzzjack. It just has that anthemic quality that I generally want my Nuggets entries to have. I think the chorus is memorable and will make a big impression, but I also think it could be polarizing!

March 17, 20223 yr There we go, I was finding it hard to comment without revealing too much - also thought TORRES might've been my 12, glad to see it top 10 anyway! Yeah, turns out my entry was very polarizing, I've counted 3 fans though at least.
March 17, 20223 yr Author 27 SEVERIN ◼ Mishkin Fitzgerald 'Seraphim' Ejb3sITMIoM Why 'Seraphim'? Mishkin is one of Brighton's most accomplished and diverse musicians but something of a well kept secret (she rarely plays locally), and although far from her best, Seraphim showcases her more accessible side, one usually to be found on her solo work. The track was chosen as it provides an easy gateway to her for those who might like what they hear and because she deserves to be heard.
