3 hours ago3 hr Author 11/24mattoEntry: Happy Rhodes – Winter@matto was our first leader of the night with this mellow piece of music from Happy Rhodes. Naming a song after a season is quite commonplace, and given that it is Winter in most places, apt too.On 22/01/2026 at 18:49, matto said:Hi, here are my votes, thank you:12 - Portishead – Biscuit10 - Tori Amos – Hotel8 - Bows – Rockets7 - Out Of Order – Tears6 - The Beloved – Satellite5 - Peter Gabriel – Intruder4 - Christoph De Babalon – Water3 - Space Art – Onyx2 - Hubert Kah – Limousine1 - Saint Etienne – AvenueScoreboard1.

3 hours ago3 hr More fun celeb child names facts - I just realized Alanis Morissette's two sons are called Winter (my entry) and Ever (as in... The Best Song Contest in the World... Ever!)
3 hours ago3 hr I think I recall saying in the listenthrough that Happy Rhodes could be Mattias' as it sounds quite similar to Linda Perhacs - clocked another really lovely entry from you.

3 hours ago3 hr Helping out a lot of those floundering at the bottom!Thank you to the voters so far for Limousine, it's the first song I've ever sent to this that's a new discovery as I didn't feel particularly inspired by the existing options I knew that were on the table. This was a top 10 hit in Germany and its great, fun 80s pop to me.
3 hours ago3 hr I'm going to make a wild prediction that actually 'Onyx' is still going to win and the reveal order is being tricksy xx
3 hours ago3 hr Btw, in case anyone's interested, Happy Rhodes is quite the interesting, experimental artist with a whole bunch of obscure albums since the 80s (my song was from 1997 or 1998). Much of it doesn't really sound like 'Winter' but she's been one of my favourite discoveries of recent times, her music has been very interesting to delve into.
