Never understood what the go was with The Darkness. Were they supposed to be a serious band, or a parody of the tight pants wearing, long hair having, rock groups?

Really? Why would you want donuts? Unless they're Krispy Kremes. Mmmm
Just for the achievement. It's actually very difficult to nominate a song that gets no votes but also gets no Billies. You need to find the right combination of inoffensively bland.

Aaargh! Who gave me that vote? I've been trying to get a donuts song since I joined this competition!
I reckon I could help you out there. I think I've gone 0, 3, 0 in my last three contests. For instance, if I'd participated in the last contest I was thinking of nominating 'Helsabot' by Xiu Xiu. Almost guaranteed no votes, but likely to attract a few billies.

Supertramp songs are notoriously hard to find on youtube, they used to be only Roger Hodgeson covers as he had the rights to them.

Seems like that has been relaxed now.

I might have nommed this song if I knew it was available.


They were a brilliant band Supertramp.

They were terrible either way.

It was a shit song anyway.

That's weird, you mentioned another song of mine Sparklehorse that wasn't available there either, the UK must have introduced a Plugger spam ban.

Part of the whole Brexit deal I guess.

You must have been dark when you tried to nom this song in the last round and found out it was taken.


Cracking song, I thought I had a rolled gold podium finish there, nek minnut 11 botes and 11th place.

I knew it was you. That version didn't show up in my search so I had to rip and upload the video from vimeo. Didn't understand how I was beaten to it.

I have a slightly odd tale to tell. Watching TV up late last night, flicking through channels and land on ABC3 who are just playing repeated Rage filler. Had Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots on so had a watch of that, next up was Paranoid Android so thought this was a little bit of coincidence. Next up was our billy winner Oh Superman and now Im wondering who is ripping off our contest or vice versa. The streak was then broken with moral entry Robot Rock before finally there was some random tune.

Weird.

That's bizarro. They are totes ripping us off. When was the last time you saw O Superman played? Also funny thing - at least 3 people expressed interest in nomming Robot Rock but they all moved on to other ideas.

Post-round update (128). Brought to you by CakeEater "You can't have your Billy and eat it too!"

A couple of Hall entrants this round but, first, some general stats.

  • The DQd little graham finishes last for the 10th time, equal with JoseMourinho and 1 behind Jazny who has the most last placed finishes.
  • Bomberboyokay gets his 1st top 10 finish since round 60. It's been a tough ride but he finally breaks the drought with a song very deserving of it.
  • CakeEater picks up his 6th Billy of the contest. Maybe that song requires a few listens but the first impression was awful.
More to come.

  • Bet on Blue nearly wins his own round again by claiming a moral victory. That was his 5th podium for the contest and has also gone back-to-back. Let's see if he can go the three-peat
  • Van_Dyke gets his 9th podium with an absolute doozy of a song. Would've been nice to see it get the win but a podium is good enough!
  • Illinois Nazi is now on 98 contests. He's missed out on this one but the century is just around the corner
To the Hall.

  • Loonerty gets his 8th win of the contest as well as his 20th podium earning him a spot in the Hall of Fame as a bote-whore!
  • We have a Legends entry with edgie participating in his 100th consecutive contest!

Looks like we have a Rage spy in our midst. Own up, who is it?
It's not me, I would have programmed my Rocket Science song if I was in charge of the Rage playlist.

It does seem quite a weird coincidence though, O Superman isn't the sort of song you hear very often, in fact I'd never heard of it before.
