My main memory of 00s ICT is meatspin x

(I gotta listen to the rest of the guy's discography to check I'm entering the right one)

Ok well don't complain when I send an 11-minute drone song now xx

Choosing between electronic tracks of three pretty big names. The one I've settled on for now is a recycle from only 5 years ago but is probably my favourite atm~

Our curfew is at 6pm lmao. For now it's bearable as it gets dark around that time but it's gonna be feel weird in a few weeks.

I agree with the overarching principle of having less stringent veto requirements for your anniversary entries when they're from an artist that means a lot to you, but I think some of these restrictions are a bit overzealous and don't really achieve anything. For example I don't know why you'd need to make your intentions known two months in advance when it doesn't take that long to collectively 'vet' something like that. Are you trying to cosplay a French government administration department or something x And more importantly, many nations hit 50 entries before these rules were made up in 2017 so unknowingly chose an anniversary artist. Like mine is apparently Kölsch who I sent in 2015, which is a bit of waste because none of his tracks would be vetoed anyway. The idea of of having just one is a bit iffy when several artists can be extremely important to you, some of which can come and go, and might not even have started their careers when you sent your 50th entry.

No-platforming works.

I might send some house music except it has a drone-like Animal Collective-inspired twist to it x

Britain is just 2-3 weeks from achieving a level of vaccination that would protect the pool of 15m vulnerable people from which 90% of Covid deaths occur than it is to reaching zero Covid, which is too difficult and costly to achieve when we're now dealing with a virus that's much less severe. It will hopefully also spread much less with herd immunity achieved through vaccination, though the jury is still out on that aspect. Covid will be around for years but it will be much less dangerous in countries that have vaccinated their population.

That has as much to do with the European Commission as the arrest of the Liverpool mayor does with Westminster.

Mine has been scrobbling from YouTube but now Spotify.

Thx for your confidence and for your 18 x Congrats Dan! One of my favourite entries of yours. The rest of the top 10 is a great bunch overall too.

Was just in my commiserations alongside FARC and D'yermak'er x My favourite of the top 3 are Ojnoj! They also haven't won yet right? So I'm rooting for that unless another contender comes through.

! Pop artists' discographies should just consist of covers of John Cage's 4'33 x

Fljótavík & GRANT thx x

I still have a dnq that has avoided the bottom 5 somehow!!

Um yes KAS:ST

Ah I didn't realise that barely a third of tracks go through! Highly likely that despite having 3 tracks, they all crash out here, then. (it does make sense to have that few tho)

I voted while the thread was still on the first page wahey

what I qualified 12 Q 10 Q 8 11 Why So Sirius Metropole Orkest Cellos - Beirut 7 03 Wholune SCALPING - Deadlock 6 Q 5 Q 4 Q 3 Q 2 Q 1 Q And a shoutout to Pagasa, Quintessa and Oslol, who all would've got points in a weaker semi (it was excellent!!) and indeed the competition may have contributed to their DNQ. My would-be S2 votes: 12 Q 10 Q 8 Q 7 Q 6 05 Republic of Adonia JPEGMAFIA - BALD! 5 Q 4 Q 3 Q 2 Q 1 Q

These are the restrictions for tourism and he's conflating these with work restrictions. He probably thinks that anyone can hop on a plane and work on Spanish farm for a summer, as you could before the new year. He lived in Brussels for years and yet is absolutely clueless as to what it's like to be a migrant worker, whether it's for British migrants abroad or migrants in Britain (see his total ignorance of what no recourse to pupil funds means, which any MP that actually participates in casework should have direct experience of)

Oof 3/3 <3 I'll keep paying attention then!!

eZfvuREGsNc Delightfully wholesome!!
