7 hours ago7 hr Author I’ve very much enjoyed having a first listen to the playlist today!As I know not everyone will read the OP in full here are the most important points:We’re using the 18,15, 13-1 voting systemThe deadline is the end of Saturday 30 May
7 hours ago7 hr Exciting, Looks very inspired list. Already know 'Carnival Of Rust' which I had first heard and considered for around Bjsc 100 time. 'Hands Open' is great too.
7 hours ago7 hr Ooooh there are some solid choices there. I adore one of the songs near the bottom - but I won’t say which as I expect people will think I sent it!
6 hours ago6 hr Interesting! There's also one artist here I considered (with a different song). And I know several other songs this time.19 hours ago, Julian_ said:I am planning to host a listen through at 19:30 on Thursday 22 May.Did you mean Thursday 21st? 22nd is Friday haha
6 hours ago6 hr Many of my favourite albums of 2006 represented here - Nelly Furtado, The Pipettes, Regina Spektor, All Saints, Infernal, The Cardigans, Evanescence, Dannii - I will refrain to say what I thought of the songs picked but some are very good indeed. One in particular reminds me of very happy uni memories <3Flawed from Delta's Japan only album! I missed the chance to send that to Pop Factor, be interesting to see how it does here, it could have been a nice choice for ballad round.I did not know or had forgotten that Moony had a 2006 single!
6 hours ago6 hr Wow, the other 5 or so acts/songs I considered swapping to after I'd submitted are all actually in the list
6 hours ago6 hr Oh my, I was between two songs here and I see someone else has entered the other one I was considering *.* I won't say which one but it was a great discovery so I guess I'll see what happened had I gone the other way here.And I was considering The Knife too, but I'd already sent them to Club Bizarre last time so held off here but lovely to see that (and I mean who would stoop so low as to recycle themselves across song contests? xx)
5 hours ago5 hr Also... there are about 15 of these that I already know, and fortunately also like, so I know there'll definitely be enough great songs to vote for before I've even heard the others

5 hours ago5 hr I almost sent India Arie - I am not my hair But was unsure of the wider appeal for a contest like this, so just settled on sending one of my fave artists.
4 hours ago4 hr 4 minutes ago, Herbs said:Oh is that who you thought I was?No, but now I see it, I wouldn't have been shocked.Yours, I feel, is in the first half of the list

4 hours ago4 hr 47 minutes ago, Viper* said:No, but now I see it, I wouldn't have been shocked.Yours, I feel, is in the first half of the list I actually own albums by 8 of the artists in this list. I could be anyone! Or none of those!
4 hours ago4 hr I love how niche a lot of these acts are! ❤️Also Delta and Nelly reuniting for their first contest since Pop Factor! 🥹😂
