November 23, 2024Nov 23 well I hope y'all like something in the vein of The Dare/deadmau5/Digitalism :) I decided that I was just gonna be more passionate about the No Mana song time to set up 2025 as my redemption year
November 23, 2024Nov 23 Back in my usual SF2 home - that's 9 out of 10 contests for both the years I've taken part! Will it be 18 out of 20 Qs for me though... speaking of which, congratulations to Hendinia on the Q streak reaching 50 thanks to that 2nd place AQ! :cheer: I know the CMAT song and a few others, but none more so than 'I Believe in Miracles' which is an absolute classic that I very nearly sent to Club Bizarre (although it's perhaps at the less electronic end of the disco scale than most of the entries), and now appears in the M&S Christmas advert, so this contest was maybe its final chance! Just as two Lands return after a long break (welcome back Rolloland and Ultraviolenceland), another two are absent after lengthy unbroken runs (Aelandor and Niceland - I hope only temporarily!)
November 23, 2024Nov 23 Also just noticed Daehun's reconfirmation wasn't accepted either? Sorry that they tried to return and failed. :(

Will be interesting to see how it does, I think this is much more commercial and at the time I thought it would do better
November 23, 2024Nov 23 Mr. Scruff has been in my potentials for a while now and I've considered sending him but haven't. Hope it can do well in the final for the hosts.
November 24, 2024Nov 24 23 🐸 Rolloland 🐸 Oh gosh, the month I miss confirmations (not intentional, I was just swamped last week and didn't manage to find an entry & submit in time) one of my favourite BJSC entries of all time has a sequel. Hope this does well Rollo. :wub:
November 24, 2024Nov 24 Going from opening the final last month to opening the semi this month! :magic: I've sent a song with <1,000 plays on Spotify for the second time this year, here's hoping this one does a bit better than poor brave Crushes Bones - came across the artist from a cover of a Thom Yorke track posted on /r/indieheads, liked the sound of her voice and the production choice so had a dig through her original songs and this one was the one that stood out for me, starts off with a bit of a trip-hop vibe and some Björk-esque vocals and then turns into an instrumental with some strings and fuzzy shoegazey guitars. Could have done with being a minute or two longer but hey ho. Think this is a decent semi draw for it x (Was surprised to discover when searching on BuzzJack that it has appeared in a personal chart before, that djcharly chart that has about 80 new entries every week, mostly very obscure - I wonder how that was on his radar too ~) Think there are ~5 songs I've already heard this month, I'll give a bit of early hype to Conoria (especially the video :wub:), also already know and like the Altyr Muunilinst and Bøtanikkä entries. Also yay after the two Persephonia alumni sent last month there's another one this time with Ecco2k popping up again for Hinterlandia, looking forward to hearing that one! (aside: was just checking if any songs from this contest are also in PopJustice's - I forgot to enter there this month oop - and I see 'RATATATA' was sent there this month as well, wonder why we collectively decided to wait 6 months before sending it. '1996 Expectations' is there as well) Also yes would be up for doing the first listenthrough on Monday :jump: will be semi 1 unless requested otherwise x
November 24, 2024Nov 24 rather nervous RE: my semi draw, the four countries I was quite certain would enjoy my song are all in the opposite semi :unsure: fingers crossed!
November 24, 2024Nov 24 Semi 1 playlist?list=PLXMZc8uCTIjztbn3N96_yvJC-gjLh_WMz Semi 2 playlist?list=PLXMZc8uCTIjyr4o67xF3mkM4ga0QR3G71
November 24, 2024Nov 24 Let's go BSJC 170 On face value looks like a nice mix of countries in each semi final :)
November 24, 2024Nov 24 I had the Jackson Sisters as a back-up potential for about 2 years since I re-discovered it as a minor re-issued chart hit in the late 80's or early 90's (it sank without trace everywhere in 1973 and I'd never heard of it till then). The extended mix is the best one, shades of Rose Royce Is It Love You're After and S'Express in the riff I thought. So, yes, I thought I'd better enter it now in case it makes the charts somewhere following the M&S ad and I lose the opportunity.... :lol: I don't know any other tracks.....!
