http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af169/Greenfroze/UPIX-BANNER.png Hello everyone! :cheer: And a soothingly warm welcome to the IX'th edition of Unknown Pleasures! The contest where you will be discovering secretly hidden musical gems that you normally would not find anywhere else, and this is also where you WILL find your new favourite life enhancing track. I realise there's no elaborately made banner made for this edition of the contest, but that is obivously a conscious choice on my part (:kink:) to signalize how much more important the MUSIC is in all of this. And that is your cue to contemplate on what musical masterpiece you currently desire to send me. And after you've made your decision, you just upload the track in HQ (256/320 kbps!) somewhere appropriate and send your confirmational PM to me (Freeze) in this format: Artist/Group/Band: Song title: Youtube/Soundcloud/Vimeo (etc.) link: Download link: BUT! And this is important; don't just send your current favourite Justin Bieber single. As much as I know most of you want to, there are certain rules to what you can send. Here are them rulez: 1 - There are no rules or limitations regarding genre or length of a track. 2 - The artist, group or band of your choice must not have reached the top 40 singles chart in the UK. 3 - The artist, group or band of your choice must not have reached the top 20 albums chart in the UK.
 4 - The song must not be on the current UK release schedule. 5 - You can't confirm a song that has been previously entered. 6 - Songs from the same act will not be allowed to participate in the contest simultaneously. Also, songs by acts who featured in the last contest will not be accepted. If two people choose the same act, the one who submitted their entry first will be allowed to enter the act. 7 - You are not allowed to reveal (your own or others) or hint at which song you have confirmed to the contest! 8 - It's my prerogative to refuse an entry if I feel it does not fit within the spirit of the competition. Need some help with some of these rules? Here is some links to help you find out if your song is eligible to send: http://www.polyhex.com/music/chartruns/chartruns.php http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=141148 List of ALL tracks previously entered! - http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=139865 That's about it! The deadline to confirm your song of choice is 24th of April; 23:59 PM. But preferably if I get 30 (maximum 32) entries submitted, and you still haven't confirmed anything, then unfortunately you're too late to the party. Regardless of what happens I will begin the voting stage at the 25th of April on the evening at some point. GET CONFIRMING! :cheer: List of confirmed participants: 1 - Freeze 2 - Grebo 3 - 152chris 4 - ▲▲▲ 5 - Messiah 6 - Mart!n 7 - West 8 - Ghosty 9 - randomfurlong 10 - Brett-Butler 11 - Thomsen 12 - Johnkm 13 - RabbitFurCoat 14 - Cal 15 - JakeWild 16 - Medicated Soap 17 - titty 18 - Horatio 19 - Eyes 20 - Severin 21 - gooddelta 22 - Dandy* 23 - Caïn 24 - tonyttt31 25 - Tom VaKayTion 26 - zechhh 27 - ✖ leww ✖ 28 - alin 29 - Alex Banan 30 - SKOB 31 - Hitstastic 32 - Doctor Blind

Hmm.. where am I to post the opening thread now since there's an UP subforum?

That's alright. I guess there won't be any spesific problems without a banner for the contest. Thank you for answering my questions, though. It helped! I meant today, yes! :D I'll try to begin some time before 9PM ^_^

:cheer: I've decided I'd like to begin this on thursday, but I have some - if I can call them - 'inquiries' before that: 1. I was wondering if anyone would fancy making a banner for the contest? When I made one for BJSC it took me ages to figure out and create. I also had photoshop at that point. But I don't have that anymore nor do I have any ideas what so ever for this contest. So for the sake of making things prettier/cooler and more.. yeah, interesting - if anyone's willing, that would be great! :D 2. Is there a website where I can easily find out what songs are eligible to enter? If there isn't, then I probably could use some help in filtering out confirmed entries and such :thinking: :unsure: 3. How many participants SHOULD I allow in? I don't mind more than 30, but if most of you feel that 31+ is a bit too much, then I'll be happy to abide to 30 entries. 4. How long should the voting period be? 14 days? And which day is most suited for results presentation? (I'm generally not that familiar with when other stuff are being presented on this site) That's about it for now! ^_^ (I kinda feel like an amateur :blush:)

I rated it 7/10 - so I liked it ^_^ I thought it was fun and summery! Having said that; not that they've brought any amazing stuff for me this year, but generally I SORT OF expected a bit more coming from Kopečka.

Hi! That's not a problem, I can't expect everyone to know and like everything I chart. But I have a feeling you might like that Victoria Duffield song, though! And thanks for commenting either way! ^_^

Sorry for the late respons, I've been away for some time this month! @1 - It definitely is! :wub: How has Donkeyboy been doing in your chart since you heard this new album? @19 - Like I said, it grew on me :D I haven't heard your recent entry, though, but since it's FSR Rontvia I have high hopes! :kink: ^_^ Great bunch of songs we both liked that week! Thanks for commenting! :cheer: Hello Eyesac! :kink: ^_^ VERY late from me, though, but here I go as well! :D (I just hope you remember that you commented :P ) @1 - My recommendation? Do you mean in my signature? Well I can only hope you like more of their tracks now that you didn't love this (which I think is the highlight of the album. Well, one of many!) Have you heard anything else recently? @12 - Only two times you didn't vote for the winner? That's a whole lot better than me; I haven't voted for the winner NINE TIMES! :drama: But yeah, Laleh has always had a beautifully unique sound to her voice :wub: @21 - Haha, no I havent, actually. I should check it out, then! @24 - I predicted it to come top 5, didn't I? :( I really thought it would do so much better in the end. I don't know what happened there.. @29 - Give I'm not influenced by his promotion of this I'm not surprised I'm this late with it :P It's a track I found on a random music blog once, I didn't realise it was a single. Regardless, his favourite single of mine is 'Heart skips a beat' :D Thank you, I just wanted to try it out, but this was a rare occasion, I normally don't thouroughly listen to more than 20 songs each week so I'm back to 20 again. But thanks for commenting again!

Oops, I'm sorry, I did notice that wonderful comment of yours! :D But when I wrote that I sort of didn't and referred to everything pre-Hitstastic-comment. I'm very glad you like it! ^_^

Oh THANK GOD! I've finally read through everything, and I am so relieved I made it through, as I was quite worried throughout the entire results. No one has commented on my entry this time and I got some really mixed predictions. I love 'Who we are tonight' so it feels GREAT to have it qualify :wub: My DNQ points: Ojnoj - My Name Is Kay feat. Pusha T – Stranger - 5 Land of Jack - Robin – Frontside Ollie - 1 Never expected 'Frontside Ollie' to go anywhere, but I'm a bit sad for Ojnoj; is it not their third DNQ in a row? :( And I really liked that song!

A bit late, but welcome to the contest! :cheer: I personally prefer the second flag; as I think it looks prettier and more fun than the first flag - that one's a bit dull, blurry and too Minecraft for my liking :(

Alright, thanks! I'll let you all know when I can begin the next one ^_^

I've been away for most of this month, so haven't been able to begin anything yet. And I'm still unsure wether I am the right person to do this, but I could give it a try regardless. Don't think I have time for this until next week anyway though, so if most of you feel that's too late for a contest, then someone else has to play the host.

I sent an HQ MP3 of my entry with my confirmation!

Flor-de-Lis :(

Wait; are you by any chance Llama Republic over at NSC? :thinking:

Welcome to the contest! :cheer: What kind of music do you like? Nice flag, btw! ^_^

Did you talk about BJSC at any point? :kink:

I've confirmed too, for now! Just in case. I do love this song, but if I happen to find anything I'd like to send even more, then I'll definitely change to that.

I'm sorry. It's not exactly a 'phrase'; I realize now it was only a poor pun attempt :( It doesn't always work out with the song titles :drama:
