I think it’s a great idea!! Would be cool to trial a different approach to the contest as a one-off spin off and just have fun with it

Congratulations Hungary!! The Putin purchased pain in europes ass is gone 😁😁😁

What are we? French? No. Fax or nothing

Are you ready? Visa processing starts in 24 hours

Honestly think you love my Midnight Red entry more than I do!

We went from the Strait being a free transit zone to every ship now having to cough up millions in Yuan or Crypto to pass through safely so the regime can have access to free cashflow outwith the US based financial systems and fund more terrorism regionally and globally while continuing to support russias illegal invasion of Ukraine with drone sales. Super good job trump. Art of the f***in deal indeed

I don’t think that’s a fair comparison. Käärijä was actually good

Pending the scoreboard I would have time over the next few weeks to host Be prepared to be whelmed!

And big thanks to Qween John for the fab and very aesthetically pleasing hosting

So stoked to be top 3, thanks y’all! That’s a lovely wee result. Greenfroze and Nelli and Ojnoj being up there with me is top an all Congrats Dandy. I don’t get it personally but different strokes different folks

I agree with Dobbo. Carry forward deduction of points penalties are a bit uncomfortable for me too. I worry about that getting a little messy and in the long term damaging the integrity of the results with the logic of „well I’m already penalised so why bother voting“. This system strikes a nice balance between penalty and remembering this is just a bit of meaningless online fun. I would love to get rid of it but there’s some people that consistently failed to vote and because the stick was the only thing keeping them on track (deadline pressure for ADHD in my personal experience trumps time blindness) so the one contest ban has stuck around. Part of the social contract of this contest is that you invest in what other people so passionately send, listen and vote. We threaten to make you sit a month out to ensure that you hold up your end of the contract. But theres always exceptions and we have always been super quick to waive that penalty when asked (and honestly often we proactively do it without needing to be asked). My point is that this is not something we do to be mean at all, and we’d rather not. It’s a fairness mechanism. The reason reminders aren’t mandatory is because at some point we have to draw a line in the sand to 1) not baby the participants and trust that grown adults have a degree of competency and 2) reduce the burden of hosting the contest for the hosts to keep hosting as manageable as possible so we still have volunteers.

Votes are in

It’s taken me an hour to be able to load a single thread. I just want to see the BJSC deadline 😭😭 And do we really want these predictive text algorithms scraping our content? Or let me put it differently. I’m not really ok with my thoughts and contributions being stolen by Sam Altman for his dirty little ponzi scam he has running with NVIDIA

They are self funded now, so I wonder if they’re timing it around when they can get cheap studio time or when they could get a print run for vinyl etc. smaller acts can often have issues getting production slots and without physicals the girls don’t stand a chance in hell of any RoI on the album

Not it!!! I learned my lesson from the unholy chaos that me entering Tone Damli’s Smash unleashed on the contest 😅😅😅😅

Honestly it never even crossed my mind to try to swap out my current one for the new Dagny

Rd’Á has voted. Some cool tracks there and one or two absolute horrors but so is the magic of BJSC

I was told make it a fusion/mix, so I went for the person doing that better than anyone right now 🤷🏼‍♂️

I went with the most genre melding crazy I could think of which some how has less than 100k views on YouTube

So I get free reign on my sub-genre?

Let’s try 34
