Sainz has indeed been faultless in recent races, absolutely delighted he got the win and the way he drove was incredible to watch. A good race to watch, even when not much was happening it was still exciting with the anticipation that something could... so much better when these battles are for the lead.

Skream. Smashing it with these two recent releases!

DJ_Dave for me Found most of these songs are all considerably weaker than other songs the same acts have put out this year

16 ** 227 MUNA - What I Want 15 ** 228 Metric - Doomscroller 14 ** 229 Caroline Polachek - Welcome to My Island Incredible :wub:

The vocal on Silencer meant I didn't even make it to the end of one listen tbh.

What an incredible set of results! :D My top 4 finishing 1st, 2nd, 6th and 3rd with my own entry 5th! :wub: Italia 90 the winner on the 'Olympic Medal' table too :kink: Was slightly hesitant about sending more post-punk in Leisure Activities after the complete failure of DEADLETTER in UP, so delighted to see it finish as high as 5th. They're both comfortably in my top 10 of the year. Thanks for hosting Wardy, good job!

There are so few of these I'd want to enter, so shame to see 'unknown' leave in the first round, as broad a category as it is. Voted Happy Hardcore and Dance by Definition.

Comfortably the weakest selection from one of these. Voted STUM but most of the time it wouldn't even make my top 3!

Glad Headache was over 18 points behind so I'm not kicking myself over my previous tardiness :kink:

Don't think Ferrari would have had much change of winning, but any they did have they let go of by not pitting one of their drivers sooner. As soon as Max overtook they should have been pitting that lap.

Landfill is absolutely the right term for some of this type of music, particularly from 2007 onwards. The success of so many of these bands in 04/05 meant labels were signing up all sorts of dross to significant record deals if they'd written one vaguely catchy hook, and the vast majority of these bands suffered a huge slump in quality in their follow-up albums. Some of underrated gems from bands who unusually got more successful (and arguably better) over time y4xiP4gdTT4 A8Pv4EMNo-A fD92J4W9n04
