Song Contest Part XII, Host: roo2macca, Theme: Precious Gems/Metals Noms Due: Monday 8:00pm AEST

[RelaxMax]

24 hours is plenty.

Pretty much

If I don't have enough time to nominate

I'm probably not going to have enough time to participate

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Just bored and having a look at recent results.

How I Try didn't get much love I don't know. Absolute classic.

Anyway after seeing multiple posters say they would have participated if they had longer to nominate I think perhaps noms should be open longer. I'll probably get called a whinger but look at the benefits. The quality is going to s**t as you exclude every single song that has been a previous podium over 100s of rounds. People need time to research and have a listen to the personal collections to find some hidden gems to nominate. I think the quality could improve a bit and the whoring would be less. It's easy to pick something popular and memorable in a time crunch.

Random thoughts in the middle of the night lol

For the theme.



But nah I would have nommed this.

The time frame is ok, I think it depends on the theme. Last round was female solo artists where the list of choices was almost endless. This theme was a lot more restrictive. With no podiums or noms from the first one (although one slid through), it made looking through noms tough. Unless it's a really open theme like colours, girls names or numbers then I'd prefer redux themes to be avoided.

Thought about nomming this song.



August and Everything After was a great 90s album, like Live with Throwing Copper, the Counting Crows faded away after that.

Secret Samadhi was when Live became a radio friendly Jesus Juice band.

Throwing Copper was back when they were a badarse Southern Rock band.

Lol no, Throwing Copper was essentially their most radio friendly album ever. Secret Samadhi was the break between that and The Distance To Here which was a MMM wet dream. If you wanted to be a smug pre-sellout Live fan just start posting tracks off Mental Jewelry

Throwing Copper only got radio friendly with Lightning Crashes which was my least favourite song on the album, Waitress and I Alone got traction on Triple J.

I was spruiking Throwing Copper before it became mainstream and one of the must have 90s CDs along with Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins etc.

Don't you dare out 90s me I was there too with saved by the bells on.

 

[NorthernLights]

Their two best.

 

[Plugger35]

My favourite song off Throwing Copper.

This is where I re-tell the story about kissing Courntney Cox right??

I went to see the CC's because it was going to get me a root, * they s**t me. Adam Duritz or however you spell it, whiny little s**t.
Live had their moments.

 

[Elton Johns Wig]

I normally have pretty similar taste to Plugger, but we take different roads when it comes to CC's.

It was a painful few hours....but I did get to kiss Courtney Cox, and I did root the little yankee chick.

But my own private hell was the slowed down, 12 minute super sappy utter rubbish version of MrJones they played. I nearly didn't make it...dark thoughts, daaark thoughts.
