ooo.. pagasitas

Love this theme 😍 There’s one glaringly obvious (to me) song I can send for this but I feel it (and the artist) is too well-known now, really wish I’d sent it in 2018 when it came out but I wasn’t active on BJSC at the time. In any case I’m trying to save the artist for my 50th anniversary. There’s another song I’ve thought of but I’d have to recycle an artist I’ve already sent, so I’ll probably wait til something else comes to mind

18 pls

omg we are a tiny archipelago we cannot possibly bear the weight!!

I annexed all the alt nations in semi 1 according to @blacksquare so you’re not wrong

-50% tariffs on nelionoir goods for being our biggest fans

ty rich for hosting btw, great presentation and easy to follow as always! tried to be somewhat on time with my votes this time lol~

yay I'm so thrilled, thanks everyone! those first two crystal castles albums are true classics, gave them both a listen last year after a while and they still hold up. also we only acknowledge Alice glass (the only member of crystal castles) around these parts, idk who the other one is

also thank you to everyone who's pointed thus far don't wanna be presumptuous ofc but I haven't won a contest since nuggets 10 years ago so I would be thrilled if it keeps up! a lot of these songs were outside my radar but I made some great discoveries, particularly my top 4. the veronicas in particular was unexpected, really loved that guitar line throughout. also wanna shoutout the yin to the crystal castles yang, the cheeky girls. didn't make my votes but couldn't have asked for a better song to follow "baptism". truly captures the sound of spiritual rebirth. the first song you hear after being slam dunked thrice in holy water; God could not have chosen two better romanian ladies to use as his vessel

I'm trying so hard also I will literally fly over there and take you to an indie dance electro goth whatever dj night... I have danced and drunk to crystal castles and it's FUN

honored to have the blacksquare seal of approval 😍

bjsc 182 | mount palomar and pip blom – little fractures

ooh its been a while since I've had early hype *.* don't think I've heard anything here apart from band of horses, so mutual hype to bre x

Br r

NEVER bring bre to your local indie dance/electro goth dj night

finishing my listenthrough now, sending them in a half hour or so also eledan get behind me!!

januaryyy

yes thank you

when is the deadline exactly, either I’ve forgotten how to read or it’s not in the first post (sometime before Tuesday I’m assuming x) edit: never mind

already dnq’ed but just wanna get this thread up and running again bjsc 181 | cameron winter – nausicaä (love will be revealed) from heavy metal (2024) not to delve too hard into the #discourse but a big part of cameron winter’s appeal for me is his off-kilter voice, very reminiscent of indie vocalists of decades past. jeff mangum of neutral milk hotel is one that gets mentioned a lot, but i hear a lot of 00s indie here too. the clap your hands say yeah dude is one, dan boeckner from wolf parade is another. the blogs would’ve eaten him up in 2006.

Oh lmao. Oop

It’s the 15% deduction, though considering how low it is it wouldn’t have been much higher without it, but I’m not worried! And yeah idt anyone here cares about the discourse either lol, it’s just that I happened to tweet about geese once regrettably and now the algo thinks I want to see 15 tweet threads about them

It was mostly from twitter when I was still scrolling semi regularly a few months ago but half of it was the memes (Cameron winter performative male music fan starter pack 🤣) half of it was just the breathless discourse about what they mean for the culture or whatever and im just like: they’re a good band maybe im just hyper aware of it bc of algorithms but something happened after brat that has made hype/backlash cycles more relentless and annoying lol

I was very prepared to dnq because I don’t believe geese/cam winter have as big of a following here as elsewhere and if there is I think there is some general backlash/fatigue anyway… mostly because the discourse surrounding them is annoying as f*** so I’ve kind of just been listening to them quietly and not really participating in any of it Anyway I have Bjsc bait for next month and then pagasa-core for the month after that (if UP doesn’t start before then) so I’m happy to get on with the final and on to the next contest

ooh .. intrigue
