Thanks for hosting Chez, you did a super job! Congrats to Lookylion, wasn't a huge fan but can kinda see the appeal. Very pleased to see Art School Girlfriend in the Top 10, Is It Dark Where You Are was on repeat in '21 and I am very much loving/am here for the new singles.. only August to wait until the album.

 

Thank you to all those who pointed Curve, “Horror Head” is one of my favourite singles of the 1990s, I'd always wanted to share it here and felt that it was a good time now that Hatchie released a very Curve influenced single in late 2022 (and because I got beat to sending “A Place To Lie”).

 

Still shocked that The Dare NQ'd in semi 2, I'm reading Never Be Alone Again: How Bloghouse United the Internet and the Dancefloor by Lina Abascal rn and it feels like “Good Time” would have absolutely been heating up all those blogs and climbing the hype machine in 2005-2010, getting rinsed by MTV2 then crossing over to become a minor Top 40 hit for 1 week that broke up the usual monotony for 2 minutes (the absolute peak of this was CSS's “Let's Make Love And Listen To Death From Above” inexplicably making number 39 between Travis and Fergie in 2007). But there were plenty of highlights here still to enjoy, particularly want to s/o Colm for sending The Magnetic Fields and the beautiful “All My Little Words”. :heart:

Thanks for the fab hosting Chez, congrats Lookylion good winner, and thanks to everyone who pointed Information Society - we didnt quite get to 100 points but bright side we have a brand new unique final position for Singerpurear - 42nd! :)

 

Thanks esp to Suedonia for the Gold medal, Pestolia, Ingermanlandia, Rolloland for getting us into double digit points! :wub:

 

One of these days we will have a serious go at getting that elusive nul points record... :lol:

s/o Colm for sending The Magnetic Fields and the beautiful “All My Little Words”. :heart:

 

Had you known the song before the contest?

Omg in this incarnation it seems I'm destined for bottom 2s :lol: But I love all of the songs I have sent lately and stand by them. B-)

 

Thank you for a very interesting hosting! And happy with the winner, was my high pointer too!

Am I right in thinking the next contest will be East Rukahavian's 100th??

Thanks for "Mirage" getting 12th, I was completely in it to win it this month (as it feels to me like one of the strongest things I've ever sent!) so was hoping for more but my 14th straight Top 20 hit - amazing. Really appreciated!

 

Wasn't a fan of the winner unfortunately but can't deny the force that is Lookylion, they know how to grab the pop girlies. Rich is back on fantastic form these days, bridesmaid four times in a year is equally frustrating and also amazing - the old guard has it. Yobdenorica (amazing stuff from them this year) and Fljótavík Top 10 is fabulous, although I'm surprised both got through the veto (I would've probably have given "Kandy" a go last month!). Sad for Neliönoir, brave stuff from them - I was going to send "HAHA" next month (which I obviously won't now) but may have dodged a bullet! Please keep entering though as I love your musical perspective.

 

Fantastic hosting from Terra!

I am exiting my alt / Fantanocore era and running back to the dance bloc, the artist seems to be primarily a breakcore artist but would describe this one as a big beat song (i.e. vaguely sounds like it could be The Prodigy). :music:

 

Ooh, that sounds v intriguing. Do they sometimes sing in Japanese by the way? If so, I may know it! (#hype)

 

 

Had you known the song before the contest?

 

No, thanks for sending it tho. I haven't heard the whole of that album. A normal album usually challenges my poor attention span, so 69 songs was maybe a bit too many x

It's a new era for Aesthetica. Despite underperforming in this contest, my next track is in a similar-ish vein. I am liking these songs I'm finding, so I'm definitely gonna keep this going! #EmbracingMyFlopEra

Do we have a willing host for the next contest yet?

Wo ist das grün zimmer?

Hyped for 154, when it comes!

 

I wasn't entirely sure how to follow up two second placers and with a 50/50 prospect of an AQ again so as it stands I think I'll take another sonic right turn. My only motto when there is the potential for an AQ is 'don't blend in'.

 

Already heard at least two songs I expect people to fight over, one will be fine to get through (unless too many people are after it I suppose) but the other I would imagine is a veto due to the artist's recent BJSC success.

I have a couple of different options for the next one i'm still debating between.

Can y'all get this show on the road so I can enter again and this time actually vote. Life is finally starting to calm down. Tbh I shouldn't have entered last month, sorry for not voting :')

Working on a victimvolunteer to take the hosting duties. The next contest will start as soon as we have the arrangements in place

aren’t you banned this month tho :(

Apols for the slight radio silence on the new contest but rest assured the cogs are turning. x

 

also [/late]

Not that I can see (it's a producer not a singer, and they seem to be fairly underground so I'm not sure if anyone will know them already) although I am now interested to know who you were referring to here!

aren’t you banned this month tho :(

Yes but I meant for this next one to be over sooner rather than later so I can enter again

I’m sure it won’t be long!
