We were young and didn’t know what we were doing 😂And now a full circle moment with us having to slightly change the format of this contest to avoid having semi-finals to kick out only 3 songs once again!

Saturday at 20:085 days try these links whilst the embeds aren't working:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6PSYDJj48Oditomk7SgAde?si=ceb1f17dce8b473chttps://open.spotify.com/playlist/3nyAtoqCU148wQikAClZ3u?si=ab7b8e3542f64f65
Saturday at 20:335 days I've noticed Spotify embeds playing up today and seems they are indeed now completely broken - glad to see it isn't just a problem with my connection, I'm sure it'll be fixed soon x(unless Spotify is just breaking due to the devastating impact of Xiu Xiu and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard removing their discographies)

I reckon that a 36 song final with 1BF points system would be a good happy medium for this month7 hours ago, gooddelta said:Let’s not forget the lore that same year of me holding a semi-final to turf out only three songs as the final was firmly fixed at 24 or something.

Idk how easy it would be to find the threads.There was a couple of years back then when all you’d have to do was breathe and it’d kick off some 15 page argument about the most pointless of thingStill remember the almighty riot over allowing songs to complete that had been in an ESC national final that lead to not one but two of the then three mods resigning

Saturday at 23:164 days Yeah, I quit once for 5 minutes, then came back, then I DNQ’ed and didn’t handle it well :lol: and said I will never comeback, but that lasted only 2 minutes as well!!!Joy!!!
Sunday at 09:134 days Me neither oops.Will never forget 2009/2010 though, being a mod back then was TOUGH. Not helped at all by people sending stuff already being hammered on the radio/TV/all over blogs that was clearly heading for No.1/the top ten. Try overseeing that and keeping everyone happy. Fortunately we still had plenty of inspired winners too, otherwise I don't think the contest would have lasted long.
Sunday at 10:314 days If I remember correctly it was the moment National Finals and prelistens were no longer allowed
