Omg I actually got lucky with the queue in general sale and was only 2000th for one of the dates but everything was already gone 😭 so loads must've been allocated in the pre-sale

Oops a bit of a flop so far but not surprised as I can see why this shoegazey sound might fade into the background. I discovered 'Lonely Town' in Electronic Sound magazine recently as part of a feature about Steve's new album; this song grabbed me the most. As aforementioned in Severin's votes, Steve and Emma are/were members of '90s favourites Ride and Lush. Thanks to the few that have pointed it so far - blacksquare, Rich and Severin :) Edit: ooh and a wild Suedey silver medal appears just as I finished typing thank you very much!

Oh ‘Wolfsbane’ stood out to me a lot. Brilliant entry, Severin!

Intrigued to find out who was behind Just Mustard! That's one I knew pre-contest as 6Music were playing it.

Oh it turns out I rather liked blacksquare's disowned entry *.*

'Can't Stop the High' which is honestly one of my favourites on the whole album! It went platinum on my iPod while I was patiently waiting for it to be added to streaming x

Taylor is going to be on the 3rd October episode of the Graham Norton show 😍 (buzzing for both her and Cillian Murphy my beloved on the same episode xo)

Well I got that wish with a literal 20th place, oh my thanks to everyone who supported S1RENA - 5 top 20s this year so far is great! A huge congrats to blacksquare 🖤 knew and loved 'storm' pre-contest as you know, so unsurprisingly that is now my new favourite winner of the year! Actually I have to extend that praise to both of the top two, as ARGO received my gold medal on top of Night Tapes getting my silver, so hands down my favourite top 2 of 2025. Delighted with how well FSR Rontvia performed, what an inspired pick with a sound that is catnip to Jadakissnian ears. Elsewhere in the top 10 I also voted for Joon Gloom and MERCY, so 4/10 feels like less than usual, but quite a few other favourites landed in the 11-20 section at least. Such a shame that my bronze, courtesy of none other than Bronzil, ended up outside of the top 30 - justice for Fazerdaze! Thank you Dandy for a fabulous hosting job

Ooh I spy two of my song contest alumni and they're next to each other *.* Kraftwerk are one of my all-time favourite acts so pleased to see them getting a second outing this year, following my 100th anniversary pick for BJSC, 'Europe Endless'. I also sent Autechre to the Best Song Contest In The World... Ever before, they're one of the first acts to come to mind when I think of weird electronic music, so a great choice for this theme. This looks right up my street so looking forward to giving these a listen 🥰

Thanks John, didn't get as much sun as hoped but a break from work was still welcomed! Well done both for the 39s today's game: Round 1: 33 (didn't get: John Anderson) Round 2: 33 (didn't get: 1967 (one year out), The Eagles) 3-in-10: 3 (When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going, Get Outta My Dreams, Get into My Car, Red Light Spells Danger)
