November 6, 2024Nov 6 ...on the other hand that was the song that I guessed would be Jade's :magic: great choice, hope it will pick up a bit in the scoreboard x

November 6, 2024Nov 6 Did not know that Madonna song existed despite 'Ray Of Light' being one of the few 'old' albums I've listened to (obviously just heard the regular edition) so that was an interesting discovery at least - I can kind of see why this one was left as a bonus track though.
November 6, 2024Nov 6 It is a very easy title to get the other way round indeed! That is a 6Music find (shock horror etc.) the haunting and chilled vibes really creep up on you. Not a bad performance so far considering the complete non-reaction on Synctube (for the second contest in a row -_-). Some great entries here, Scorn my favourite revealed thus far <3

Big changes since the last scoreboard! Locust has now munched away and has a 7 point lead over One Love with Nightmares on Wax finishing off the top 3. Zooming up from 0 points to 28 is Smoke City and we now have no-one on 0 points as Cibo Matto finally gains a fan! Scoreboards more regularly from now…
November 6, 2024Nov 6 I thought Bjork might have sent Madonna but I've noticed now he's not on the entrant list.
November 6, 2024Nov 6 Author 11. King Rollo King Rollo sent The Aloof – All I Want Is You All I Want Is You is from The Aloof’s 1998 album, Seeking Pleasure. YTjGi1ZjvE8 12 pts Locust - No-One In The World I knew a few of these songs but not this one, it was a great discovery which I'll listen to again after the contest is over. 10 pts Faithless - Killer's Lullaby One of the best tracks from my favourite Faithless album 8pts Archive - Nothing Else I did consider entering Archive myself but thought everyone would guess it was me as I have already entered songs by them to three different song contests. If I had done, I would have picked You Make Me Feel from 1999, their fourth most streamed song. Nothing Else is still very good though. 7pts Gustavo Cerati - Rio Babel I wasn't expecting an ELO sample to appear in a trip hop contest. It was as unlikely as the Yes sample which came up in the previous Britpop contest. The excellent use of the sample from 'Momma' means this one gets seven points. 6pts One Dove - White Love Another one I had saved up for a trip hop contest but in the end, I didn't like it enough to enter which is why it only gets six points but still a great song. 5pts Smoke City - Devil Mood 4pts Leftfield - Melt 3pts Casino Versus Japan - Blue Vacation, Pt. 4 2pts Scorn - Silver Rain Fell 1pt Hooverphonic - 2 Wicky
November 6, 2024Nov 6 Author 12. Severin Severin sent Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart - Becoming More Like God Firstly, Severin wants me to clarify that the version of this song on the Spotify playlist isn’t the one he sent, but the youtube version is right. It was too late for me to tell you about this due to the number of votes received and the timings. Hopefully, you all listened to the youtube versions (like me) to vote and things are subsequently all fair. Sorry for the confusion, Severin. Jah Wobble is the stage name of John Joseph Wardle, the original bass player in Public Image Ltd. Becoming More Like God was released in 1994 on the album Take Me To God which reached number 13 in the UK album chart. wsgA0s2T8Js Here are my votes for the contest. Some good stuff I didn't know too. 12 Faithless - Killer's Lullaby 10 Scorn - Silver Rain Fell 08 Hooverphonic -2 Wicky 07 Archive - Nothing Else 06 One Dove - White Love 05 Smoke City - Devil Mood 04 Madonna - Has To Be 03 Nightmares On Wax - Les Nuits 02 Leftfield - Melt 01 Casino Versus Japan -Blue Vacation, Pt. 4 Cheers
November 6, 2024Nov 6 Author Scoreboard time! 67 Locust - No-One In The World 66 Faithless - Killer's Lullaby 60 One Love - White Dove CHEZ WOMBAT 54 Hooverphonic - 2 Wicky 53 Archive - Nothing Else 49 Nightmares On Wax - Les Nuits AH GOLD 43 Air - Le Soleil Est Pres De Moi 41 Leftfield – Melt LEWISTGREEN 38 Smoke City - Devil Mood 38 Scorn - Silver Rain Fell JADE 36 Strange Cargo - She Cries Your Name AWARDINARY 35 Madonna - Has To Be POPCHARTFREAK 30 Casino Verses Japan - Blue Vacation, Part 4 DOBBO 25 Gustavo Cerati - Rio Babel ANSEL 23 The Aloof - All I Want Is You KING ROLLO 21 Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart - Becoming More Like God SEVERIN 13 Radiohead - Climbing Up The Walls (Zero 7 Remix) JESTER 4 Cibo Matto - The Spoon SCENE Locust still reigns at the top but Faithless have leapt up to be just 1 point behind in second! One Love are still top 3. The bottom 3 remain the same, but Jah Wobble manages to move up a place out of the bottom 4. With only 6 more votes to go, is the top 3 a lock in?
November 6, 2024Nov 6 No surprise at the Rollo song indeed but was cool to hear another song from The Aloof, enjoyed this one more than the one from BJSC. Shame it's not doing too well.
November 6, 2024Nov 6 Thank you for all of the points so far - especially Chez, Dobbo and Severin for the medals :wub:
November 6, 2024Nov 6 Author 13. Brer Brer sent our current leader, Locust – No One In The World Locust, also known as Mark Van Hoen released No One In The World on his album Morning Light in 1997. It samples the Carpenters ‘Hurting Each Other’ released in 1972. qsoduYDR50s 12 Casino Versus Japan - Blue Vacation, Pt. 4 10 Archive - Nothing Else 8 Faithless - Killer's Lullaby 7 Scorn - Silver Rain Fell 6 Smoke City - Devil Mood 5 Nightmares On Wax - Les Nuits 4 The Aloof - All I Want Is You 3 Gustavo Cerati - Río Babel 2 Leftfield - Melt 1 AIR - Le Soleil Est Près De Moi Strange Cargo and Radiohead just missing out. A nice batch of songs, the top 5 are definitely my main standouts here though.
