November 29Nov 29 Ooh Rich I've literally just charted your AQ, excellent choice 😍I'm also a fan of Ansel, Dandy, Leww and RabbitFurCoat's songs off the top of my head, so hype to those.Not sure if this is the best semi for my pick oops but we'll see. Excited to make my way through all of the songs as there's still plenty I don't know!
November 29Nov 29 Not having to follow mother AustraripSF2 looking strong at first glance, I knew ‘Alchemy’ would make an appearance. It’s on all the BJSC putty playlists — just noticed Absolutely in SF1 too

I heard it last week and felt it was the kind of song I have been crying out for - a catchy indie/rock/pop song but with a prominent violin line ❤️
November 29Nov 29 I'm completely fcked in semi 1, pretty much everyone who might like my entry is in semi 2.Love 'Only Girl', great choice!

November 29Nov 29 Interesting batch, but I have to make this one observation... one song in Semi 1 was my personal entry in Unknown Pleasures a few years back;https://www.buzzjack.com/forums/topic/250925-up-xxx-the-lucid-dream-edition-results-era/page/6/#findComment-7010210Glad I made it with one of my favourite guitar solos ever. ❤️
November 29Nov 29 Author The semis have come out fairly mixed, each seems to have a good mix of pop, alt, dance and other, and with a few big contenders in both, although Semi 2 on first glance has more depth of quality based on my first listens.Btw, if I have the wrong version of anybody's song on Spotify, please shout. I'm happy that all the entries are on there but haven't cross checked all of the versions with the YouTube links provided yet as just wanted to get the semis up to maximise voting time.

November 29Nov 29 I was going to go for f5ve - I Choose You originally but then I saw that they finished 2nd fairly recently so decided against it...
November 29Nov 29 I expected bbno$ to be killed by the veto which is why even tho I’ve been obsessed with 1-800 for absolute months on end I haven’t even tried it 🫠
