what gets me is the gall. you know even they don’t care about maintaining their narco-terrorism pretext when trump explicitly talks about “rebuilding” venezuelan oil infrastructure so that US oil companies may be “reimbursed” for being “cheated out” when venezuela nationalized their oil industry

literally feels like we’re speedrunning the bush years. death to 00s revivalism

december

I’ll be maybe an hour late but votes will be sent

do we have the date/time for a listenthrough?

Oops sorry guys I had a busy week (family stuff), wanted to make the listenthrough last week as that felt like the only way I’d be able to draft a top 10 but missed it. Felt unable to set aside time for a solo listenthru with everything going on

November

gonna try something difference.

Octoberrrr

Ty encyclopedia brétannica

Tbh I was under the impression NMF was algorithmically curated? Or is that release radar Can’t join this contest obv but enjoyed seeing the cheapness here, and I already have a song for the next one x

in a similar vein I've had the insane idea of like "best multi-song run from an album" or even a "buzzjack album contest" which is exactly what it sounds like, I would NOT have the fortitude to host such a contest but it would obviously have to be a months-long affair to make sure everyone has the time to listen. the only problem would be finding people with the attention spans to participate lmao

Tbh did myself dirty by not voting in a timely manner knowing I had a wedding to prepare for/go to today (and I can’t even use THAT as an excuse seeing as herbs literally was also at a wedding today)

oh wow did not expect to q at all lmao, ty to the as yet unnamed voters! i feel a little more comfortable now in the final with the full slate of alt nations voting only lost my 7-pointer (why so sirius) and my 2-pointer (thelonia) so apart from those happy with these results!

PLEASEEEE (voted)

pop girlies stan karly hartzman NOW

ouch that is a rough draw lmao

1000% would send bull believer in nuggets or UP but I'll let you have first dibs also a 25 minute rip from what I'm assuming is a livestream of a primavera dj set is stretching the definition of "song" I fear, but hypothetically I wouldn't have had a problem with the hour-long arca track (I didn't take part in that contest) so I won't quibble

September ‘25:

I remember when Michael used to type like that

bolded = artist I sent Angel Olsen Beach House Bon Iver Caribou Chairlift Deerhunter Greet Death x2 Kelela Kesha Los Campesinos! x2 LVL UP Mary Lattimore MGMT Muse New Order Perfume Genius Pet Shop Boys The Postal Service Sharon van Etten The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die x2 this isn't exhaustive only bc I can't remember some opening acts and there are entire shows I genuinely cannot remember lol

sent typical pagasa dreck that will qualify by a hair depending on whether I get a late vote deduction

might be making my return... thinking about sending a song from a very recent album (as in 1 day old), or failing that, a pop-punk banger from a good filipino sis (but might leave that to @LexC)

thanks to @King Rollo @Jade and @J00prstar for the medal placements, and others for the smattering of points! perfectly content with top 10, I don’t think I’ve done better than mid-table since my literal first nuggets lol (first place !! ) congrats to @uhsting as well! it wasn’t among my absolute faves from this contest but def liked it enough to point!

hype! my last content was last year's nuggets and I genuinely can't remember what I sent or if I even voted lol
