oh it WAS Chez as nu Lights & Motion then I honestly didn't call that

Safe to say I probably won't be replicating my success with this artist when I sent them eight years ago (at least I double bluffed you all x) I get the ambivalence, it did take a few listens for it to really click with me too, but it really has a quiet power and it's a really impressive composition featuring over 50 individually recorded guitar pieces.

 

Fantastic top 3 there though, any would be a wonderful winner.

Can anyone challenge East Of Eden for a gold medal? It is next the turn of your host for this evening, awardinary, so let's get those votes revealed.

Good pick from Jordan, I'd meant to check out Ocean Alley before after they did so well on the Triple J Hottest 100 that one year but never got around to it.

Thanks Jordan. I liked yours too. x

So yes, it was I who was behind Thom Yorke's brother Andy Yorke as part of 90's outfit Unbelievable Truth. Before we take a short break, we would like to hear from Doctor Blind.

Doctor Blind has been one of the few keeping up with the various leaders this evening, he could get close to his first Nuggets win by the end of the night!

A short intermission will now take place, about 20 minutes, and then we will resume with votes from ✖ leww ✖.

Thanks for keeping up everyone, sorry for the rush.

Did not know before this contest that Thom Yorke's brother was also in a band. Nice song x

 

edit: and a great entry from Doctor B, was not expecting to hear trip-hop vibes in Nuggets of all places! <3

Doctor Blind with that unwavering taste level. Not sure how you manage it every contest

 

 

wardy I have sent an important message. I'm a mess

Ooh that's more like it, into the top 10 within three votes :o Many thanks Wardy in particular for the 12 <3

 

(These are my full stats btw cos why not x 02-07-15-14-16-09-07-19-23-17-04-06-08-03-TBC)

After a good start, my song has been stuck on 24pts for ages.

Ok back and ready to resume (later than planned as dhwe had other plans for my time).

So we now find out the alias of the person behind the Silencer track, and it was Leww, and look how far it has fallen after once being in the lead! :o

Let's go to Y'all Starlight and see what they had to say about proceedings.

sorryyyy

Another of our early leaders was Y'all Starlight, he was behind MAY-A and still looks to be in contention as things stand... but will Suedehead2 have another idea...

All controversy aside, the instrumental of the Silencer track was excellent. Vocals were a bit of a harder sell.

 

I did know that one was Leww already as he'd mentioned the song to me before as something he might send as a bit of an ~out there~ song contest choice some day.

We now see that Suedehead2 was behind the only entry not on Spotify and there it is mid table. Let's move on to the votes of Jade next.

Brilliant entry from Suedey, shame this one is not on Spotify!

 

Oh my at Have A Nice Life taking the lead now, would not have pinned that as a contender :o
