January 13Jan 13 I can host a synctube listenthrough on Thursday evening. I think the one for the Pop Forum contest is on Wednesday. With BJSC starting soon, I think it would be best to do it this week.
January 15Jan 15 Just to confirm, the listenthrough will start at 8pm this evening. I'll post the link later.
January 15Jan 15 I have now created my own room so I will no longer be borrowing other people's rooms when I host. This is the link:https://sync-tube.de/room/zvz7L49i
January 15Jan 15 Author Thanks for doing this Rollo. I wasn't sure if it would be done this week or next but I will look to be there to support shortly.
January 16Jan 16 Biscuit by Portishead was a pointless answer in the jackpot round of Pointless just now. The subject was Bristol Trip Hop which has been one of the four options for, I think, more than a year now. The finalists have always rejected it every time it came up. The man did really well, coming up with three pointless answers for tracks on the Massive Attack collection or tracks from any of the three Portishead albums they listed. His other two answers were Butterfly Caught and Five Man Army.
January 18Jan 18 Voted, I liked 11 songs quite a lot so only one I had to miss out. Fun to discover a very famous solo artist in an earlier guise within one of the acts here, and the original version of a song sampled by a Eurodance act in another.

January 18Jan 18 Oh yes I actually did see that (and even posted about it on SyncTube) but completely blanked on it when going back through the list to try and remember haha. Soup brain x
January 19Jan 19 Author 8 votes received so far, just over a week left to send me yours if you've not done so far.
January 22Jan 22 Competitions on the 20th century subforum are my favorite, and even though I don’t play to win, I wish the voting period is shorter. :( But I understand if it’s aligned with other competitions, I just don’t see the need for a 14 day voting period. Plus, I’ll then have to wait another three months for the next competition for this century. 😅 Edited January 22Jan 22 by Nine And ¾

I suspect it's partly a nod to Unknown Pleasures, which was the OG non BJSC competition, and had a much longer voting window as a lot of the people who enter like to listen three or four times to everything before submitting their votes. But then again, BJSC has to be more of a rapid pace to get through 10 contests a year.
January 22Jan 22 The longer voting period works well for me. It gives me time to have a couple of listens, feel horribly overwhelmed by the whole thing, move to something else and then come back to it a week later and feel more on top of it.
