I need to do this

I really liked the bass sound in it.

This has been quite eventful evening. Glad that Sofarasma got through. Gorgeous song. and ever so grateful to the Spodic massive out there. x Good night all.

Drama afoot?

if anyone is keeping score, how many qs and nqs are left in each semi?

Thanks for the support of the BuzzJack presents...crew. Y'all have been amazing this year too.

Me nerves!

I don't have an NQ banner. Do I need one?

On the 14th February 2023 at 20:45 I received a Facebook message from Wardy. He sent it to encourage me to enter the 152nd edition of BuzzJack Song Contest. I was reluctant to join because I seem to have had the impression that there was more commitment involved than entering Unknown Pleasures and Nuggets, and I had never been successful at those - being, as I was, very ill equipped to know what other members of BuzzJack would find entertaining. Nevertheless, after some reassurances from Wardy, I decided to take part. Within an hour of that first message, I had come up with a country name and, without any reference points to the sort of music that is appropriate for the contest, an entry, That entry was Gentlemen Who Fell by Milla, a number 65 UK hit. It was a gently dramatic, baroque-tinged folk rock song that I had always felt was overlooked. I pressed Submit and off it went to Uhsting, who was hosting that month. During the semi final results I waited, and waited and continued to wait. I had to wait until the very last qualifying nation was announced. ☹️ In the end, fortune decided to bless me and I made my way to the final of the 152nd BuzzJack Contest. The results of the final was a fairly lengthy affair with votes being announced from dozens and dozens of countries. I finished that evening in 17th place, which I felt was quite good given that I hadn't a clue what I was doing. When the contest spreadsheets were published, the Semi-Final 2 tab told me that I had come 5th, which I was even more pleased about. Spod had arrived. Milla - Gentleman Who Fell (1994)

Same. It's coming. We know not where. We know not when.

Can we take a moment to reflect on how electronic bloc is the new BJSC superpower, showing how it should be done?

It's going to be tough. Some great stuff will NQ

I suppose as a long term female singer-songwriter fan, I expected better production, just better melodies. Summertime Sadness seemed to be very popular but I didn't like it at all. But this is all par for the course with me. I often completely don't get why certain singers are popular. I can't really abide Florence at all.

I was so into Born to Die. I was very disappointed with the album, though. It didn't live up to the classiness of the title track. Some of the production sounded cheap and plasticky. Second album was a huge improvement in how it sounded.

Now That's What I Call Terrible Artwork The font is available in Wordart.

You could have randomised a second time for a less brutal split.

Actually, Scarlett's Walk has great stuff in it. She should have chosen the best 12 songs and made a great album.

I'm glad someone enjoys it. :D

That Tori song is one of her worst. She really was terrible for most of the 00s. Apolz to whoever sent her but no....

Do you mean which nation am I envious of?
