Monday at 20:122 days 'Toop Toop' was a right earworm to kick off the tracklist! Wasn't quite what I was expecting from Cassius (I thought they were more of an electronic act) but still very much enjoyed.

Monday at 20:142 days Great choice Herbs! Regina was on my shortlist but I wouldn't have been able to choose between On The Radio and Better. Fidelity already did well in BJSC a long time ago, and Samson also has over 100m streams.Those four songs were basically the soundtrack to my spring term of second year of uni.
Monday at 20:162 days Thanks to all who have sent / are to send Regina some love Really thrilled to see my 18 pointer do so well. Keisha ❤️

Monday at 20:222 days Moony was one of my ultimate faves (hopefully it will be back in Top 10) and it's nice to see we swapped 15's with Roba Thank you Herbs as well for the 13! <3 Edited Monday at 20:342 days by Assy!
Monday at 20:282 days Moony wasn't who I confirmed initially. I had actually sent Embrace but wasn't feeling secure with that despite being a fine track. Funnily I did then go listen to 'Carnival Of Rust' in between landing on 'For Your Love'!Glad it's doing reasonably well. About where I expect. Just noticed I left Evanescence off oops. Would've have made my 5 pointer I think but was rushing so didn't properly check again, nevermind.
Monday at 20:292 days Fun fact - I only heard of Regina Spektor's name but wasn't familiar with her songs knowing they were by her, only upon listening to On the Radio I was like oh THIS is her! I spent ages trying to figure out what a song was called off the beat when I heard it on an advert once and I realised that song was Fidelity! Both bangers!Glad to see mine doing well so far!

Pendulum)3 Evanescence - Sweet Sacrifice2 Beirut - After The Curtain1 Basement Jaxx - Take Me Back To Your HouseI wouldn't really have minded sticking to the standard voting system tbh but still nice to throw some points to a few extra songs anyway I suppose - also the one commiseration to The Cardigans who only just missed out. There were a good handful more that I thought were solid as well.My own entry was a quick find from just looking up '2006' on /r/listentothis and listening to the last few submissions of songs from that year, this song sounded immediately very pretty and I thought it might stand out quite nicely. From my snooping on the SyncTube session it didn't really provoke much comment but the few comments it did get were positive. Hope it's found a few fans. Apparently one of the members of Anathallo was also a member of fun.!The Panda Bear song was the obvious standout and a pretty easy 18 for me but there was a bit of jostling between the next few songs after my relisten, glad to give my silver to an artist I wasn't familiar with as a lot of my other high votes are artists that I would have expected (not that I'm complaining at them delivering - unfortunately the songs from Hot Chip and Regina Spektor didn't quite do it for me as I hoped but they were both also decent). Oh my at the Sufjan Stevens namedrop in that Snow Patrol song and double oh my at the Basement Jaxx song turning out to be a country hybrid - I wasn't quite sure what to make of that on first listen but it clicked with me enough to rise into my votes just about after my second run through.The Pipettes are next with 84 points.
Monday at 20:362 days Anathallo running up the niche appeal so far - only 6 votes but that including 4 medals and another double point tally! Thanks muchly to @Chez Wombat, @nine¾, @dandy*, @matto, @AllStarBySmashMouth and @RabbitFurCoat so far x (it being a discovery for dandy* feels like a win)
