Hello all. As I wasn't allowed to send my 2:37 first choice to this contest, you've had to endure a 15 minute song from me instead! I may have scuppered my chance of a decent result by not sending an edited version of it, and it won't even appear on the BJSC long songs 'league table' as a consolation, but I hope some of you enjoyed it anyway.

TL;DR - vote Dalisska in the current BJSC!

jim got a gun and the indie mods got you x anyways jim is behind the landslide winner (potentially), will he be the winner in the end?

congratulations Jim!

Thanks for the 8 points and getting me off 0 Severin!

My contender prediction being on the money if the scoreboard was to freeze right now *.*

Wonderful entry btw, Jim!

Thank you for the posts so far Severin, Scene and especially 10 from Iz!

I may have underestimated my chances based on the recent comments, but the consensus from the listenthrough seemed to be that an edited version would have been more palatable, we'll soon see...

Herbs always with the subtle spoilers x

(Although he was also one of the couple of people whose tracking links spoiled their entries for me anyway hehe)

A few of my favourites unveiled already, The Joy Formidable was obviously excellent (looks like I'm calling another Jim contest win then x) and loved Severin and dhwe's entries too (I knew 'Greater Omaha' would be dhwe, stanning the retro emo songs from you). Cardiacs being on 0 so far is not it.

Cody is behind capitalism and I'm sending a brooding song that builds up nicely at the end x have been contemplating sending something similar to bjsc before and actually i did come close in sending one with michael's song (adore) if you still know what it is you got me still hangs on to the lead but the top 8 only differ by 6 points

I feel like mine was probably fairly obvious (except for Blacksquare)

And Cody was the other one whose tracking data gave his entry away x (really good entry and not surprised to see it so high up so far, where is this experimentation from Cor Lupus??)

I send one of the more emo-y entries and not even a point from the host? Scoff...

sorry dobbo for non-voting x your two landslide winners are now your top 2!

doing very well so far especially as this was an emergency replacement for a vetoed entry, thank you, I guess I also have to occasionally sometimes send Japanese entries to indie contests to keep up the obvious mantra x

would be very pleased with a Joy Formidable win!

Was looking very bad for me at the start, thanks for the recent high scores.

I know this song doesn’t reinvent the wheel but it reminded me of a good Kings of Leon song so I was a big fan!

Thanks for the points Frank, blacksquare, Nine and for another 10 Cody!

Happy with the rest of that top 5 too *.*

Chez is really ROBBED atm x i'm falling down the leaderboard too we do have a clear top 3 atm!

More 10s <3 thank you AllStar and Chez!

Till having one of the better 'heavier' songs here, nice to see that doing quite well so far! And a good Gizzardesque jam from AllStar. Enjoyed the blacksquare and Chez entries too x
