I feel like just a qualifer and joining in with the final would be a novelty at this point. 5th last year to 55th YTD so far is quite the fall from grace.

I will definitely not send pop though as it keeps tripping me up this year.

Not quite falling from the same heights (at least not as recently) but I'm definitely savouring making the final a bit more when it happens of late, have DNQed with 5 of my last 10 entries oop x

New rule: songs in Fr*nch are permanently banned x

This is still in effect

I am going for French artist, but I never said it's sung in french!!!

Kathaldazia rock era incoming

More descriptions, just coz 😄

My song is tagged as darkwave on RateYourMusic and some other places, I ain't no darkwave expert really but I'd assume it's close enough lol. The duo is described as any combination of industrial rock, darkwave, electro-industrial, trip-hop, gothic rock, dark electronic, and 'grinding guitars'. I've spent some time with most of their albums recently and those probably fit the bill, this song feels more gentle to me though than much of their other stuff. While some of their other songs tended to blend in with each other, this one really stood out to me as an individual song.

A-Konohagakure's entry can be described as "paying homage to Safri Duo's Played-A-Live"

Heya! Confirmations will be starting at on 30th July, and just as a word of warning the mods have agreed to a very slightly shortened 6-day window for this - hope you're looking forward to sending whatever you're going to be sending! Feel free to tease in here.

And yes basic/themeless hosting from me as is tradition.

a basic contest deserves a basic winner (me)

I wasn't aware that I was supposed to give an exact time as I've never been one to refresh for a confirmation thread and I'm not sure we even get that many duplicate entries atm, but do let me know what your sleeping pattern is so that I can ignore this completely and post on at a time on Thursday chosen at a whim x

Ok if anyone wants to know for real, I'll put up the thread at around 20:00 BST.

But now that most Californians are currently sleeping, I do wonder if Cody has set an alarm just to wake up and check early.

We spend all the budget on making it sonically interesting rather than visually interesting here.

Tell us what does happen when you're asleep?

a European morning and afternoon 🧍‍♂️

When we all fall asleep, where does Cody go?

While looking through the song list, I noticed that Deandria sent before an artist who was born in the same tiny town as me (it has fewer than 20,000 people)! I can't stop laughing! 🤣
