First choice mom was taken but I'm pretty happy with my second choice mom.

Did Santa Monica actually win? I'm the only one to have voted for it so far. I smell a rat.
I probably would've voted for it if I didn't reject it in the previous Cities/Towns round, would have felt like a bit of a hypocrite if I voted for it.

May I ask if there is a particular meaning intended for "supergroups"?

I understand the term to refer to various bands from the late 60s, early 70s - is that what's intended?

Or is it meant more generically - like any huge band which can sell out stadiums?
A "supergroup" is a hybrid band made up of musicians from other successful bands (or successful solo artists)
Typically for just one or two albums. They are usually just a temporary thing.

It's that time once again, it's the post-round update! (113) Brought to you by Bet on Blue "I have to host again?! ****!"

A couple of Hall entries in this round but first...

  • I get my 30th podium finish of the contest, trailing Hard Ball Get by 1
  • BlueBelle gets her 4th podium of the contest! However, she's still chasing her 1st win which she is bound to get sometime surely?
  • Van_Dyke's quest for a podium threepeat fell short as he only amassed 10 votes and 20th position for his Whitlams nom
  • JoseMourinho keeps his Billyless streak in tact by the skin of his teeth. He was 1 Billy vote away from a deserved Billy winner.
More to come.

  • edgie joins the 100 club! That's a Hall of Fame! In his 100th contest celebration, he wins his 3rd Billy for his efforts. Oh well, at least it's not a Hall of Shame
  • Bet on Blue wins his 2nd contest from his 3rd podium. He has done a rarity by becoming only the 3rd competitor to win a round he himself hosted. Furthermore, he won with a song that was rejected in the first version of the cities/towns theme, I wonder how NorthernLights is feeling? He would've avoided hosting and it's not like it would've won the first theme of this either given the quality there.

Whoever's winning
I was wondering if AC/DC should count...

Bon Scott (The Valentines, Fraternity)
Malcolm Young (Stevie Wright)
Phil Rudd (Coloured Balls)
If ACDC gets accepted on this basis, then I'm not even going to bother voting.

Stevie Wright not a no name and The Coloured Balls have something of a cult status, whilst The Valentines found some success as a bubblegum group
If some of their members hadn't gone on to be in AC/DC then absolutely nobody other than their mums would remember the Coloured Balls or The Valentines today.

GAGF you bunch of f***** Philistines. (Excluding those who voted for my nom)
Agree completely - absolute philistines. You got my 4 votes but seriously, there's not a group of individuals on the planet who would rate the aurul diarrhoea that is the Whitlam's "Melbourne", the gimmicky "Moscow", Springsteen's 2nd worst song he's ever written, the formulaic Don Henley shite, Hole!!, mindnumbingly vapid "Vienna", the drippingly sentimental vomit that is "London Still", and U2!!, ahead of The Cult's New York City. You people need therapy. o_Oo_O

New York City got my 1, and the only vote that any of those others got from me was for the Billy.
