How? 🤣

I don't know why! I always seem to have one or two that I guess correctly privately in my head without saying anything haha

Also, I like more when I have specific theme or task (like in these spin-offs) than when the theme is open bcs I start overthinking and making it too “pop” just to appeal to the majority

Rollo with the longest song shocker

I posted in the voting thread that the Delphic song would be a good throwback but when I heard it I realised I don't think I've actually ever heard it before whoops, I think I was just remembering the album of the same name (which I do know several other songs from). It was a very good discovery though so my hype was not for nothing!

I don’t think I’ll ever enter BJSC for this reason, plus I like the anonymity.

Thanks for all the points so far for Lost Cool! I discovered it via looking at The Substance soundtrack (thinking surely that film had something suitable for this contest lol) - I can’t remember where in the film it was used mind.

I mentioned that Anna Van Hausswolff was on the soundtrack for The Substance the other day (due to Dan sending her to BJSC) but overlooked your song here being in that film, oh my *.* great pick!

The Femcels – He Needs Me

ok so i went with the femcels he needs me cuz it’s giving me püre 2007 teenagers vibes [the ogs obviously] but like… i didnt expect everyone to just send bloc party friendly fires and all the classic bloghouse hits!! if i knew thats what ppl were doing i wouldve just sent the teenagers and called it a day

so for my votes i was like nah lets try do new stuff !! not just the boring classics but also… some of them are like my faves forever [the knife cut copy the faint] so like… had to give them some points or i wouldve felt bad lol

overall wanted more dfa or ed banger messy chaotic dance energy!!!

I'm posting my poll results at the moment so will comment later on.

Ooh thank you all so far, that's a great start. I was fortunate to hear this on 6Music just around the time the contest started so it fit very well (even if it is a remix of a slower indie song rather than a danceable indie song in it's own right), been a while since I've last done this well here x

I liked the vast majority of what's here hence the long commiseration list, pleased to see a few of my votes in the top 10 with me as well!

The Femcells is...not who I'd predicted blacksquare to send!

That Femcels thing was certainly a choice x

Hi Lewis, thanks for the reminder to listen and vote. I've been through everything a couple of times and I think I've finally settled on this as my points... I've largely tried to avoid the songs I already knew really well and vote for the ones I'd not heard before, but a couple of exceptions made it in because they were just too good

02 Delphic – Acolyte

01 The Knife – Marble House (Rex The Dog Remix)

I genuinely thought everything was at least good so I'm not going to do a commiserations list. Blood Cultures has been one of my obsessions this year though so I'm hoping it will translate into big things here for whoever sent it
