I co-hosted WW when I hosted once. It's not as bad as you think it is and I managed just fine. Although, you are speaking to someone with a lot of hosting experience, something you don't have a lot of yet!

I guess the jokes can still roll after all.
I'm hoping WW means Werewolf and not William Wonka

Glad you didn't Billy my BAD song. After ND stole my nom I really struggled for another nom. If I hadn't lost my phone and All my music I' sure I would have found something better.

Ah right, yeah the second BAD one was clearly worse than the first, would have billied Thirty Second to Mars ahead of the other BAD song. That sucks losing all your music though.

There are some bands where one or a few of its member transition into something just as good or better. Members of Joy Division went to form New Order after Curtis' death and they were excellent, IMO better than Joy Division. Unfortunately, Mick Jones didn't do the same going from The Clash to BAD.

Yep. 256gb worth. Now just have a 64gb phone but haven t got a card yet. Slowly rebuilding.

I have a 128gb ipod that has all CDs I ripped before coming over. My wife has hidden it as she does with everything she doesnt want stolen. She now can't find it. Its now as good as stolen until we move house and she finds it in a random shoe.

Very true. Rush is the worst no. 1 songs ever made.

That's unfortunate, makes me think I should back-up mine somewhere. At the moment I just have 3000 odd songs saved across various spotify playlists.

Post-round update! (256)

  • Bet on Blue narrowly avoids back to back Billies as he surpasses the 200 Billy mark. It would've put him equal with CakeEater as the contestant with the most Billies.
  • Our Billy went to General Soreness who was probably overdue for one as he went 5 rounds without. He's now up to 9 Billies for the contest.
  • I take my podium to tally to 55, making sure to keep Loonerty at bay.
  • Speaking of Loonerty, he's on a podium hat-trick as he moves to 41 in total in his 200th contest. He'll be induced in the next post.
  • Chappyuk only got 6 votes that round and still requires 3 to crack 4000. Surely next round is the round he finally does it?
  • Smeg Head has now gone 117 rounds without a Billy which is by far the longest Billy drought. However, that is a drought to be proud of.
  • Speaking of droughts...
More to come.

  • IT'S FINALLY HAPPENED! After 76 agonising rounds where we've all hurled jokes in his direction, where he has been trolled mercilessly by the song contest, he is a NaturalDisaster no more!
