Apologies everyone, my wife has been in hospital all weekend and I was expecting her to stay overnight tonight too but learnt when I went to visit that she was actually allowed home tonight so I didn't get to devote quite as much time as I wanted to the layout.... I'll tidy it all up now but I just wanted to get it out coz I know what you lot are like.

Thanks all for your patience especially SM who can usually be quite vocal when on is slow but reigned it in a bit which I appreciated.


por_please_ya we're even for White Town now ;)

TubbsFarquhar the floor is yours, congrats on the win and inheriting the #worsthostever tag!!!
 
I do this too!!! Makes the experience easier lol I can listen on Spotify without navigating off the page then.
I just listen on Youtube, copy and paste the songs that I like as I listen to them and shuffle them as I go.

I can't speak for how people listen to the playlist but I listen to each song from start to finish and then shuffle them. I may need to relisten to the best ones again to fine tune.

Glad you've developed good discipline after voting so quickly early in your time here. ;)

I hope you don’t equate “the best ones” with the finishing order?!?

Interesting

I always listened to songs all the way through, but I presume you're referring to wonka once claiming I voted after half an hour which became a whole thing.

Short games I listen once and fine tune the order ( unless something stands out) and long games I listen twice. Some songs on the second listen get swiped but they either are or arent getting votes

Your song got a reprieve this round. I had it as a rough 8th-9th and then it went up on the second listen.

Ok, I just won with God is in the Radio, so let's go with a theme to do with radio.

Media

Song, artist, lyrical content can all be associated with a form of media. Radio, television, internet, newspaper, films, mobile etc.

Restrictions:
  • No previous podiums
  • No songs nommed after round 400
  • No artist double-ups
  • No songs nommed more than once

AND, a rule just for this round to experiment

NO BILLIES.

All you have to do is send in your 5-4-3-2-1. It'll likely just be a one-off thing, but, hey, I think it's worth a try.

Noms due 10pm AEST tomorrow.
 
5: for King & Country - amen MP_
4: ARCH ENEMY - Handshake From Hell Agent93
3: Four Tet - Angel Echoes Stokey
2: Worriedaboutsatan - Shift, Pt1 endure
1: Dave Grohl, Josh Homme, Trent Raznor - Mantra The Filth Wizard

BM: British India - God Is Dead, Meet The Kids Saint
 
I don't care how controversial this opinion is but if a song doesn't grab me after the first two minutes or so (depending on the length) I'll skip and move to the next. No point wasting time on a song that's not going to feature in the votes.

I will only keep listening if it is horrendously bad as it might eventuallly be my billy. If I listen to a song all the way through wihtout skipping it's shortlisted. This week eight got shortlisted - the five I voted for as well as Unholy, all this and heaven too and the suprisingly good exile of the gods. Swans got skipped pretty quickly because it didn't grab me but I was never going to billy it.

Oh here's my votes btw:

5 - God is In the Radio
4 - No Laughing in Heaven
3 - Miss You
2 - Mantra
1 - Handshake with Hell

Billy - God is Dead, meet the kids

Unholy is a guilty pleasure song of mine so it was an auto HM, same for Florence (one of the best Florence tracks I've heard in ages, don't usually like them but this one was really good) and exile of the gods which I was extremely reluctant to pass a vote on. Forgot to mention angel on 8th ave as well - goy always goes well and this was a solid track.

I predict a few Krispy Kremes this round....
 
5 Palace 8.3 / 10 Riviat
4 Florence 8.3 / 10 GreyCrow 2nd
3 Beck 8.3 Rodney Dangerfield Was going to put this first as it is catchyish but the first two are kinda soulful which is nice
2 Coldplay 8.2 SaintBilly 3rd
1 Mantra 8.2 The Filth Wizard 18th?

HMs Depeche Mode, Gang of Youths, Swans, Gillan, Shift, King and Country all 8 / 10

BM Condemned just ahead of 3 or so others

Thanks to whoever gave mine two votes :$ The Jesus will be proud of me
