Sorry if this is my fault, I mostly had that wording in my head coming off the back of the Best Song Contest In The World...Ever! with something like 'I Ran' in it that missed the top 40 but has 70 million streams. I didn't think anything here had anything close to that kind of reach. Again might be a knowledge fail on my behalf, I'm no expert I just wanted a contest of relaxing music :cry: :lol: of course there was the power to veto if it flagged enough concern too.

 

Hope people enjoy the contest anyway. Maybe a listen through next week - Vimeo is now supported on SyncTube so the recap can be a part of it too. :cheer:

And Forever Young with 390 million streams!

 

Nah I think your wording was absolutely fine Jade, as it wasn't much of a chart hit with Hayling you quite likely have to be of...a certain age...to recognise it, and even then I'm not so sure most people would. It's a cult classic, but certainly not well known to the general public by any stretch of the imagination. Its presence here certainly won't affect my enjoyment of the contest!

 

Just starting listening now and very much looking forward to being soothed as it's a manic day at work so was just thinking I need a calm soundtrack :lol:

^ Agreed - nobody except us geriatric millennials will know it and the point of these contests is to help the majority make music discoveries and sharing music you love. You've nothing to apologise for!

 

Thank you for hosting the contest and for putting together the recap video (great news about Vimeo too) - this theme is very much something I'm here for - particularly for this time of year.. Avril 14th... I'm very much looking forward to chilling out to this playlist, will be very nice company to soundtrack my brief few days in the Scottish Borders next week. : )

I'm literally screaming "wat is dis" when you talk about the song :D

And Forever Young with 390 million streams!

If that's a record for one of these contests, it will take some beating :lol: I hadn't heard of the FC Kahuna song either. I'd listened the DJ Shadow album recently, but had to play the one here to recognise which track it was.

I put it on earlier too for the exact same reason :lol:

The recap video. Flawlessly done Jerd :wub:

 

There are actually 2 entries I think I know the identities of due to insider info of people confirming them to BJSC and then switching :kink: I'll keep it to myself though to not expose people xx (and I'm not 100% sure about one of them anyway).

My reaction to that information

 

I'd argue it is ENTIRELY Jade's fault. She gets away with too much on this site. Disgraceful ageism on display in this contest :kink:

 

When would people like to do a listenthrough? I’m happy to be your host if required. ^_^

Would Monday work for a listening session? A manic work day has been pencilled in already so I'd quite like to unwind after x Edit: that timing Wardy :lol:

Thanks Kerth :wub:

:kink: I'd better watch myself in case I am stripped of my jukebox widget and banned from the pre-2000s forum as revenge :teresa:

Monday would work for me... it will be competing with Only Connect for a while but that's okay

Monday is perfect, looking forward to it!

i think it might be the first one i’ve not entered, shame as i just missed it really so would’ve done 😞

I think Leww should submit an entry…it’s still too early and I suspect no one voted yet :kink:

Once again I feel bad (why is this hosting experience cursed so far 😭) but doesn't a late entrant open a can of worms in an anon contest, because it's obvious who the identity of an entry that wasn't there before would belong to? :lol: especially as quite a few people have commented on watching the recap already... or -insert I pretend I do not see it meme-, idk what the precedent is

Don't worry Jade, it shouldn't be up to the host to send PMs to regulars alerting them to a contest starting. Club Bizarre happens every three months so everyone should have known it would appear in October.

Jade you’re doing fantastic job :wub:

 

After I posted that I realized it’s impossible to allow entries at this point since this is anonymous contest.

Hope that you can still vote anyway Leww! (if you want to ofc x)

Ageism? Now I'm listening

Monday is probably the only time I can do, improbably I'm out on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights!
