November 7, 2024Nov 7 I’m guessing whoever sent Billy Flynn of Bethnal Green may win this. Possibly the sender of The Lemon Twigs also but tbh I have no idea.
November 7, 2024Nov 7 I'm guessing that the song that I gave 12 points to will end up winning by a landslide. If I can get at least mid-table I'll be jolly satisfied.
November 7, 2024Nov 7 I always hope the rock rock songs do best not the twee ones I can see the one that sounds like the 1975 doing well tho
November 7, 2024Nov 7 Author Right, good evening again everyone − thanks once more to those who took part, shared tracks and helped with the admin (listenthroughs etc.), I really have appreciated it. I've planned to whip through because last time around I was slower than the UK singles chart (pre-ACR). Don't be disheartened if you haven't done that well, this is only a bit of fuñ − it is very likely someone will have discovered and loved your entry. For those who remember when I hosted BJSC137, the Top Trump cards have returned with a special minature Nuggets stats re-up. I haven't baked a roulade this time around as I was too depressed with recent world events/election news. That brief mention of the dystopian nightmare we appear to be moving towards aside, let's fire up that calculator and let's get on with the proceedings! Here's how things will be: Coming up..

November 7, 2024Nov 7 My stats are going to be a bigger nightmare than the so-called d*st*p**n nightmare mentioned. ...Okay, I'll quietly read. Edited November 7, 2024Nov 7 by All★bySmashMouth
November 7, 2024Nov 7 ooh nice plan, I love a few stats. No clue what will do well here, but there were a lot of good tracks here both from hard and soft rock traditions.
November 7, 2024Nov 7 Author 1// We open up the voting with three fresh debutants to Nuggets from Jimwatts, Scene and Herbs. All submitted three very different genres to the contest. jimwatts opted for Edinburgh multidisciplinary artist Michael Kay Terence, aka Swiss Portrait who since the lockdown moved from art to writing music and produces dreamy and melancholic sounds that tap into the more emotional and reflective side of guitar based music. The entry selected here from 2022s Safe House EP, a track titled “Paralyzed”. Scene went for the distinctive southern rock of 1970s Florida formed Molly Hatchet, a sound that lost favour after the 1980s but was revisited/revitalised in the 21stC by bands such as Kings of Leon: “Bloody Reunion” is the opening track from their 1981 album Take No Prisoners. Finally we have Hactivist, a five-piece from the global capital of roundabouts, Milton “take the first exit” Keynes, who mix together a blend of hip-hop, grime, and metal. As the groups name would hint towards, their music often raises poignant, political issues and “Not Alone” is no different, being a frank depiction of the current growing mental health crisis across the world. 2024 MKCHtgvKBKM *Debutant* 12 Uche Yara 10 Laura Ruusumaa 8 ABU NEIN 7 Kalte Liebe 6 Bare Infinity 5 Being Dead 4 The KVB 3 Hangwire 2 GIRLS.SPEAK.FRENCH 1 OU P.S. if I were a betting man, I'd bet the recipient of my 12 will be...

November 7, 2024Nov 7 First up, woo - and points already, thanks Scene and Herbs! Love the top trumps! (can't bear to capitalise those Ts right now)
November 7, 2024Nov 7 Author 2// Next we have 3 newer competitors who return to hopefully advance on their opening gambit made in 2023. That may potentially be difficult for ‘!!!’ who established a healthy 2nd place last time around with Have A Nice Life’s “Earthmover” narrowly missing out on the top prize (109 v 110 points). In 2024 however they opted for The opening track of 2003’s The Magnolia Electric Co from Ohioan Jason Molina (recording as Songs: Ohia) entitled “Farewell Transmission”, an epically sad depiction of regret which serves as a heroic epitaph to its writer who died in such tragic circumstances. Next up danG who also secured a Top 10 debut (#9) with Orphaned Land last year - this time around they have sent Uruguayan Post-Punk band Hangwire with shimmering guitars that evoke great bands like Interpol, Depeche Mode and Joy Division on the epic “Stockhom Syndrome”. Finally CowTzy hopes to rally after a disappointing last place finish with Scenarioart’s “Sayonara Moon Town”, and they have sent Japanese 6-piece rock band AliA with a track taken from the groups debut AliVe, the pop leaning and epically charged “かくれんぼ” (Kakurenbo) which translates to ‘hide-and-seek’. 2023 oi8ArKYLwBY Highest Position: >28< (XVI: Scenarioart “Sayonara Moon Town”) Last result: 28 (XVI: Scenarioart “Sayonara Moon Town”) +12 30.

November 7, 2024Nov 7 Beautiful presentation <3 Don't keep on track of Nuggets stats as much as BJSC so will be nice to keep x Hacktivist was certainly a memorable one! Linkin Park meets Enter Shikari x AliA was one of the best J-rock entries I've heard in one of these.
