Will you be hosting this before the deadline? @King Rollo

Reconfirmed as I'm thinking I may need one of these for the next round depending on how many eliminations there are...

It's not what I was planning on sending, but I guess things can happen...

Does Mary J Blige have any pop enemies in real life? Maybe that is who it is!

There's still rumours circulating about Semenyo and Mateta being considered too, so I doubt they are going to rush their striker purchase. Mbuemo really needs to get done today as a priority.

Decided to give it a couple of listens, but despite enjoying Motörhead's recentish cover, I have decided to give it to Lucie.

SoundClash returns with cover songs from the 21st Century going head to head with each other. Metallica is an American heavy metal band.

And sometimes we get a well-timed Dobagan representative prompt the mods; Now would be a good time for that!

One Victor out... another one in possibly...

Even rarer was the Gold medal swap with @danG Danæviia in the SAME contest! How often does someone exchange their gold AND silvers in the same month! What a great selection of chilled trance music on offer this month, including the beautiful piece by @CowTzy A-Konohagakure, who if I had given just a few more points to may have finished higher than 3rd! Not sure what underwhelming results are being referred to here... 🤔

Oh, what happened to the month off?

I will wait for the tiebreaks to be broken by Bré before settling on my final position, but thanks for all the votes for Solarstone this month for what was a very special song, even if it was widely known by a minority of the voters this month. And well done Silas on the victory.
