2 hours ago2 hr Mango has at least maintained my hot take that the Saint Etienne song than won by a landslide is still my least favourite of their various recent song contest appearances

2 hours ago2 hr Author 15/24Addy!Entry: The Beloved – Satellite@Addy! was behind one of the electronic pieces, but it was The Beloved who stole his heart and who he opted to showcase for everyone's enjoyment.

2 hours ago2 hr I enjoyed this song from The Beloved more than the one that they won Club Bizarre with before as well.

1 hour ago1 hr Oops at my entry having no points for a while, three big fans, then another big drought since thanks so much Chez, Julian and Mattias for the medals I thought Bows was a new artist to me but turns out I gave them 12 points in a BJSC semi only last year 💀 with 'Britannica'. To be fair... it did DNQ! </3
1 hour ago1 hr Thanks Jade for a silver! Great to see Out Of Order and Christoph De Babalon picking up now too.
1 hour ago1 hr Oh my, my points are increasing with every vote! You better not be getting my hopes up again, Wardy x
1 hour ago1 hr Jade bringing the ambient vibes ~ a bit of a different feel to this one than 'Britannica' but still another goodun!
1 hour ago1 hr Author 17/24dandy*Entry: Tori Amos – HotelHaving just achieved a podium finish with Tori Amos in BJSC, @dandy* thought to himself, why not try her again, and having recently been in the lead it looked like a good idea... On 24/01/2026 at 18:03, dandy* said:Hi Wardy! I've had chance to listen to the playlist a few times now and have settled upon my votes. My 12 goes to a familiar band but 90s Saint Etienne really is tough to beat and Avenue is a song I've loved for a long time now so I felt it deserved it. The rest of the medalists were new to me though with Out Of Order delivering a decent slab of 90s dance (I assume 90s anyway) and Space Art delivering space age bleepy goodness to get bronze. Sorry to the 5 listed that just missed out, the variety in the contest made it really difficult to compare some tracks... and I'd say there wasn't anything I didn't enjoy to some degree so well done everyone ☺️12 Saint Etienne – Avenue10 Out Of Order – Tears08 Space Art – Onyx07 Saints & Sinners – Peace06 Portishead – Biscuit05 Hubert Kah – Limousine04 The Doobie Brothers – Spirit03 Bows – Rockets02 Ministry – Revenge01 Christoph De Babalon – Water00 Deep Forest – Gathering00 Pulp – Stacks00 The Beloved – Satellite00 Wonky Alice – Caterpillars00 Happy Rhodes – WinterThanks for hosting, I think your theme idea resulted in some interesting entries.D*Scoreboard1.

But with so many on 60 points now, it's anyone's to win.Perhaps votes from @AllStarBySmashMouth could make a difference.
1 hour ago1 hr Surely dandy* will be giving his 12 points to Saint Etienne🤞don't let me down @dandy*!EDIT: Sent that just as dandy's votes were revealed. Woohoo! (and thanks to @AH Gold and @DaTilt for my other two sets of 12 points so far!) Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by Mangø
1 hour ago1 hr Oh... Jade is Bows instead 😃 I've really enjoyed both the Bows albums I've listened to. One of my favourite songs by them is 'Uniroyal', which is on the other album, not the one 'Rockets' is on. But both albums are beautiful listens!
1 hour ago1 hr Dandy sending Tori and giving Saint Etienne a gold... colour me shocked Thank you for the Bows points! Finally no longer a '0 or medal' entry.
1 hour ago1 hr Oh Dandy the shamelessness but yes, my favourite song from that Tori album from the listenthrough we did before so why not x'Onyx' getting a medal from every remaining voter then?

1 hour ago1 hr 'Hotel' is such a trip. Love it so much. And the little brass ending finishes it off so nicely lol
1 hour ago1 hr Portishead are also a bit of a cheat code artist for good retro discoveries but always happy to add another one to the pile!
