February 15, 20241 yr Author Afraid I won't be taking part this contest, but loving the graphics Jack! All the best Pete! Will be stoked for your return once you feel ready! :D
February 15, 20241 yr Author Stoked to be announcing another 2 returnees to this contest! First up, returning after an edition break is But this one, they will be returning after whopping 46 editions!! :o :o :o Let's welcome...

February 16, 20241 yr Persephonia is answering the question that I'm sure has been on everyone's minds this month - what would happen if my grandmother tried to make a Playboi Carti song? (I promise it's good) ((I think))
February 16, 20241 yr Author And the official deadline has passed! We will be welcoming 58 nations to Agerson, Sovarasma! But first, let's welcome another debutant... btw you can still sneak in an entry or two in the next couple of hours as Sovarasma still welcomes latecomers ;)
February 16, 20241 yr Hi my apologies for not posting sooner, quite a few coursework deadlines and other things going on this month so not sure I’d be able to fit in proper listenthroughs to give proper votes so stepping away for this one but will aim to bd back for the next one! Best of luck to all !!
February 16, 20241 yr Author All the best Conor and hope to see you in the next one! Get those deadlines!!!
February 16, 20241 yr I thought we were getting vetoes today? All research was finished about 10 hours ago, but it requires all moderators to have their say to give a majority verdict on any judgements, it's not just a case of adding totals and bam, you're vetoed. They've been sent out now.

February 16, 20241 yr Expecting a veto, but worth trying (if you're still accepting, sorry it's so late!). Will be looking around for alternatives just in case.
February 16, 20241 yr Author You're good to go Aelandor x (veto-wise will await a decision) Will post a welcome back gif to New Lexico once I'm back on my laptop but welcome back Lex!
February 16, 20241 yr Pretty sure 'Way Down We Go' was used on a frequently broadcast advert in the UK a few years ago, because I remember my mum knowing and liking the song from that. EDIT: Yes an advert for Boots No 7 with a ballet dancer. Edited February 16, 20241 yr by TheSnake
February 16, 20241 yr Yeah, Käärijä and Erika was always gonna be chancing it a bit but was worth a punt as it’s such a banger
February 16, 20241 yr Interesting that Erika picked up the lion's share of the veto points for that one! May have been different if it was a Käärijä solo song then? All of those are fair, I'm quite familiar with them all. Have any Sanremo entries been confirmed I wonder, I suppose it's only a matter of time if not. Edited February 16, 20241 yr by gooddelta
February 16, 20241 yr I think I remember the campaign song, "E's are good, E's are good, E's Eb an' E's are good" :teresa: Never worked out who Eb was though... One of the all-time great campaign songs :lol:
