pls resubmit your votes you only voted for 9 songs x Officially setting this as the final 24 hour warning - I'll accept votes up til 4PM UK time tomorrow (Wednesday 1st Nov) and then that is it. If not you will receive a point deduction and your votes will not be counted! (I assume that's what happens at least x) We're currently waiting on the following: - J00prstar - King Rollo - ✖ leww ✖ - Roba - The Haunted Hole

Yeah that's ok! For anyone who's yet to vote, I'll accept up to midday on Wednesday since I can't do results til after then anyway. But sooner the better so I can get things ready!

Thanks everyone who's voted so far! Updated the voting list, we've got 19 so far. 2 hours til the official deadline (though I don't mind things coming in a little late if necessary), currently waiting on votes from the following: - Brer - Doctor Blind - J00prstar - King Rollo - ✖ leww ✖ - Roba - The Haunted Hole - Travis

Yay thank you Pestolia voters! Sorry to lose Aesthetica (8pts), Eastovka (4pts), and Scotland 2 (2pts), plus Ojnoj from my commiserations :(

We have a room! https://sync-tube.de/room/zmlmYKTX Come join if you dare - starting in 20 mins and playing some spooky tunes until then x

Ooh love this! I got really into cryptic crosswords over the summer so very much looking forward to trying this out ^_^

No worries! I'm happy to host tonight, just had to make sure I was free first. Sorry I know you offered before and thank you for that still! Giving myself a quick crash course in SyncTube so we'll see how it goes :lol: We'll be starting at 8 tonight as usual so be there or be square x

Yeah that's fair, I probably could've been stricter about sticking on theme! AFAIK it's usually a week to vote, but I'm not gonna be doing results til Wednesday/Thursday evening so I don't mind if you get your votes in by Wednesday afternoon :) (sorry I forgot to send out vote reminders last night but doing that now)

It sounds like tomorrow's probably the best option then? Hopefully I'll be there, I'd say sticking to the usual 8pm for people who've got work during the day. We can have the semi results open in another tab and check in every now and then, I remember doing that a few times before. Sending out 24h reminders soon ~

Hmm I won't be able to host it myself on Tuesday as I'll be out for Halloween, but if someone else wanted to host one on Tuesday I don't mind pushing back the deadline? Just would be nice for a listenthrough to happen in some way

~32 hours left to vote! I've received 7 so far - is anyone interested in a listenthrough tonight or is Monday better? I'd prefer not to clash with BJSC results if that's tomorrow x

I'd be happy to do one on Sunday if people are up for it? I'm out tomorrow so it'd have to be then or Monday unless someone else wants to run it (idk how SyncTube works but I'll give it a go)

Oh good timing! Playlist updated ^_^

Would anyone be up for a listenthrough soon 👀

BJSC159: Simona - PLUSH Vr9GxEUlhls Steering Pestolia through #159 is Argentinian singer Simona with her house-influenced banger PLUSH. It's a fun upbeat track where she asserts various identities (pop star, porn star, dealer, baby, angel, devil, mother, father - quite the stacked CV). I was recommended this by a friend, although the first time they told me the name I misheard it as "flush"

Some familiar names but no songs I already know which is nice! Except the ones which are also in PFSC lol x I used to love AMAKA when she was in VanJess with her sister but kinda haven't paid attention to her solo stuff. Perched to hear whatever Scotland 2 is inflicting on us xx

Mine to go please!
