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

His views being: black people were better off under slavery, gay people being stoned to death is justifiable, trans people should be removed from public life, palestinians are responsible for their own suffering. he may have fallen short of calling for public executions (that i am aware of) but to say that he played no part in his demise by espousing viewpoints that are definitionally “violent” is laughable. he was one of the top figures responsible for sowing the culture of political violence in this country, and the problem with political violence is… it isn’t just your side holding the gun. and i think one of the biggest tragedies is actually what you mention as “agreeing to disagree” and “playing with ideas”. his ideas were ones that any sensible person disagreed with by 2008. he lent credibility to them by opening them up for debate, and now in 2025 the Overton window has fallen so far to the right it’s practically falling off the face of the earth. he was the embodiment of regression. an absolute cretin, and its only a shame there’s like 200 more like him with huge platforms still walking around
