December 12, 20222 yr Predicted Sun's Signature correctly as well! Issa nice song. Boys And Ivy's was pretty good too, quite far on the poppy side for Nuggets though.

Francesca Collavini) 29 06 ★ Pain of Salvation - Accelerator (entrant: King Rollo) Another pair of big scores for the same song see the leader change hands once more, Sun's Signature reaching the top this time just ahead of previous leader Slowdive. Other former leaders bounce back, Heartworms to 3rd, and Jadu Heart back on the verge of the top 5. Few points are awarded to the songs towards the bottom so the 10 for NYTT Land puts it in the top 20 for the first time.
December 12, 20222 yr I've not heard as much from DARKSIDE as from Nicolás Jaar's more electronic leaning other work so this song was a cool discovery.

Francesca Collavini) A new leader once again, as The Gathering takes a turn at the top with Heartworms still running it close. Deerhunter return to the top 5 and a first maximum for Great Grandpa sees it climb to just outside the top 10. A 10 for Pain of Salvation lifts it off the bottom and above 6 other songs.
December 12, 20222 yr Nouns was right up my alley, should've guessed it was a seven entry! shame it's not doing too well but I'm happy to have pointed it (tba)
December 12, 20222 yr Oh wow, this is doing better than I'd hoped! Thank you all so much for the points, especially Jade and Dandy for the max points :wub: I heard this way back in the Spring on 6Music and the slow build and choral vocals really made it an instant standout. I was hesistant to send it anywhere as it has a very slow build, but I'm pleased to see some made a nice discoveries! And yes, Slowdive was a completely coincidence though I'm very intrigued who had the same idea to send an old Slowdive song to an adjacent contest! (and I'll be judging forever if you don't vote for my BJSC entry xx) the intentional coincidence was Golden Air and Golden Hair sent simultaneously :cheeseblock: Some good company at the top, the Slowdive song was obvs also very nice (really need to check out more from them), and The Gathering and Tides from Nebula were big standouts too. Poor NYTT LAND and Nouns tho, we need to stan more quirky rock xx
December 12, 20222 yr Welp! I'm doing terribly (as sort of expected, I guess?), but thanks gooddelta and blacksquare for the votes.
December 12, 20222 yr Kind of feeling like I ranked NYTT LAND a bit too low in retrospect, definitely one of the most standout entries with the throat singing! Nouns was another one I'd have got behind more as an instrumental and wasn't sure about the vocals.

December 12, 20222 yr Predicted Sun's Signature correctly as well! Issa nice song. Boys And Ivy's was pretty good too, quite far on the poppy side for Nuggets though. I didn't actually think I was that obvious this time! Was it the Northern Lights video? That was a nice bonus :kink:
December 12, 20222 yr You had one of their songs in your last personal chart! (I don't remember if it was this one or not x)

Another couple of scores see the song at the bottom climb a few places, this time Armenia.
December 12, 20222 yr Mareux does not miss *.* (zzzahara's other music hasn't interested me nearly as much but 'bulletproof' is a jam)
December 12, 20222 yr Fabienne Delsol is doing much better than I expected... I really couldn't recall what I'd entered at all and then realised I'd sent something from the rather wonderful Pop Psychédélique compilation that I had on the turntable when I spotted the confirmation thread!

Bre gave 7-3 points all to songs in the top 6 so not a lot of change there. Neither voter gave any points to songs inside the bottom 10, so they cut slightly further adrift. Those two votes gave three songs the final points they will get, but which ones?
December 12, 20222 yr Author A second 12. Delighted GIYA picked up a couple of big fans. Thanks Bjork and Riser :wub:
