Yes, I did

Send me a PM pls! We do things traditionally here in Rd‘Á

Would love this. Germany should never have been allowed to fall off the calendar in the first place. Bin a sand Prix Silly season this year is gonna be mental

This is one of many things (along with the whole Covid fast lane shit) that should be investigated by an anti-corruption commission

Should still be coming this year. I think this dropped a lot earlier than their planned schedule just so it would co-incide with the O2 and because of what it means

Crossed the mil mark on Spotify!

The top bar is such a nice update. Genuinely a really really useful quality of life addition. Big fan

Let’s go go go!

Im hoping we do get another tour. They do seem to like touring in Q4 as their 2013 and 2022 tour were both in this period

Annnnnnd first cancellation with York being axed

The host state was the victim not the perpetrator

Ok perfection. We will sort the final checks out and as long as none of the reconfirmations are sus we will go live with the Semis tomorrow night :D

Just waiting on one reconfirmation before we can crack on. Once I’m sure they’ve seen that they’ve been vetoed I’ll share the deets on the tracks we kicked It was successfully received

When I’m home from work, yes Also when I’m home from work, yes

Vetoes are out. If the veto fairy has not visited you then, it’s looking good for you We ended up crossing the 60 mark with 62 entries and maybe 63 if Pavel shifts their arse

The veto fairy is coming this morning @Pavel you have until the last reconfirmation to submit

And you’ve still not done so!!

Of the ones I’ve heard in full so far, this is my favourite. Cha x3 levels of obsession incoming

Im feeling generous and I’m going to spend all night tomorrow in bed with a cute boy anyway so have a whole free extra day of confirming A full entry list will be available maybe before the deadline but definitely after

We are up to 58 total Likely to have a couple of late vetoes so I’m ok to accept a couple of late comers into the day tomorrow

The slate for the rest of this year looking much more chill than it has been. 21 Apr - Mahmood 12 May - Go_A 02 Jun - Lena 05 Jun - Alex Christiansen & The Berlin Orchestra 03 Aug - Nina Chuba 08 Aug - Taylor Swift @ Vienna 17 Nov - Nico Santos (Rescheduled from 17 Mar) I’m eagerly anticipating a proper gig/tour from the Sugababes for later in the year and I’m waiting for Molly Sandén to drop the new album and tour dates so I can go experience her live again. So far shes my favourite gig of the year, she was so f***ing amazing, and I really cannot wait to be able to go see her live again Molly Sandén is someone I never would have known without Buzzjack because searching for a BJSC spin-off entry for myself is how I first found her and fell for her music. 15 years later I got to see her live for the first time and it was almost a religious experience. 4th row at an intimate venue. It was perfect. Incredible setlist, incredible vocals and arrangements. Just incredible
