Jacob-

I guess this shows how much of a blur the last month (or 3) has been, I completely missed this, was scrolling through a thread and thought "huh, why does it say Global Mod next to Chez now?" :lol: Congrats on the role, perfect pick for a position that we definitely needed more of, plus the other active GM's a bit useless.

Sorry to see you go Ryan but I guess you have to prioritise your mod positions/ projects and if you feel you're less active then that makes sense. Glad to see you'll be sticking around for the contest though!

Reserve please! Will find something for this shortly. ^_^

Oh yeah I forgot to post it but C2C is through, extending our frankly incredible (compared to last year certainly) qualifying streak! :o I was kind of expecting this through based on odds and predictions but it was a relief to qualify nonetheless with 98 being such a large contest. ADDITION AFTER CONTEST: C2C came slightly lower than expected perhaps but 30th and in the final is still a whole lot better than most of our entries, particularly the early ones. :lol:

Neither do I but I was starting to get my hopes up. :o This will save disappointment when I'm inevitably let down. x

Um sounds awful but I'm just about to begin my 1st listen through. :kink: x Thanks Iz not letting me get to the plug sesh. xoxo I will be voting though!

A bit gutted I can't make this bc Iz got me to go to a quiz night last minute, I hope people like my song and I'll try find time to listen somehow. :( Edit deadline Sunday's actually okay, was worried it was Saturday. Hopefully I'll catch the final on plug.

Is it 8pm this evening for plug?

Also :wub: - thank you Rob! :heart:

Introducing BJSC 98 // C2C - Down The Road gpc3cCxWNkU I first heard C2C a couple of years ago amongst a file share my old flatmate gave me, and this was the best banger in there. I love the old blues guitar in the intro then the transition into the electronic + heavy production mixing of it. In a similar vein to Gramatik (who I sent to instrumentals-- he often does this kind of thing with jazz), this combines two sounds I really love in a beautifully non intrusive way. I hope you all like it too! x

Forgot to post here yesterday but Billy Lockett came 20th in the BJSC 97 final, giving Aelandor their 2nd best position overall! Thanks for all the votes, particularly the medal positions, was so happy to see this song so well received. :wub:

Yasss at my 18 winning! Amazing track- my 13 coming 2nd too. :o Happy with 20th, it was so tight in the middle of the scoreboard so I could've gone either way. As it turns out, it's still a top 20 so a much better result than most of my other entries. :o Interesting that I kinda singlehandedly just about kept Rolloland and Seyetana in the final, and I was so close to pointing Cumulonimbia which could've knocked Seye out.

Rip my top 10 but thanks for the points Tartford! Also omg those cats Jade! :wub: :wub:

That Summericia recovery. :o

Thanks Aeroche and Tinnmark for the lil points!

Another Medal position, thanks Rollo! Lovely song leading as well, can these be the final results? xx

Omg an 18 thanks Rob!!! :wub: 2nd?? :o I came in expecting 27th or something, this better last now haha.

Thanks for the points Rich, Pete and Leonardo! Not expecting to stay in 4th for long but it's lovely to see myself there for now. :lol:

Indeed, I forgot to post that one in here- it's really good but for me the weakest of the three so far (it could grow tbf!) Actually do it! The Listening is kinda similar to Owl City's early sound on the whole, Siberia takes a lot from that grungey/ experimental dubstep sound and Little Machines is sleek pop. All with 10/10 top notch vocals and songwriting.

LIKE I KNOW GIANTS WAS AMAZING BUT wyM8pMH2OF0 THIS IS THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD. (Featuring Josh Dun on drums x)

My condolences Yu, I hope you're doing ok. :( I loved your efforts in this contest so thanks again for all you did.
