Song Contest Part XVI, Host: ???, Theme:???, Noms Due: ???

[SSwans2011]

I was going to make a return this round until I saw the awful treatment of Herbie Hancock in the last round. Anyway, enjoy this belter of a punk 7'' that came out last month. You're all welcome.

Post-round update! (490)

• Another round, another billy for Harvey Manfrenjensenden who takes his billy count to 24.
• Loonerty didn't make it a three-peat even though he copped a couple of billies.
• Plugger35 had to opt for a podium to make it #48 as he closes on his 50. His win drought extends to 63 rounds.
• It was nearly another William Wonka round but he fell short by a vote. His podium count is now at 54.
• SM won with the mother of all whores to win his 10th contest and his 22nd podium.

More to come.

[GreyCrow]

3 and a half hours to nom a song

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Post-round update! (491)

• SarahSmiles got his 7th podium!
• GreyCrow won his 21st contest along with his 45th podium. His last 2 podiums have been The National.
• In an act of rudeness, I forgot to acknowledge Cdog71's debut last round! Good to see he stuck around for another round.
• Speaking of debuts, or lack thereof, Hawk Dork claimed he was in again yet his nom was nowhere to be seen.
• William Wonka nearly won again but had to settle for another podium taking his tally to 55. That was also a podium threepeat, the third time he's achieved this!

More to come.

[Plugger35]

I was surprised by how many noms he had along with Eels, Royal Blood, Belle and Sebastian, Dream Theater, Foals and Turin Breaks.

The majority of their noms would be mine.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

The majority of their noms would be mine.

Eels (Filthy) and Dream Theatre (OES) would be dominated by one poster too.

 

[the fly]

I need to get around to fixing the sort

But the spreadsheet that I use when I host which I think a fair few others also use is actually incredibly simple to use. You literally just enter the votes, sort for most votes, and copy and paste the results it spits out. Seems to take a lot less time and effort than poor hosts like Plugger and BOO put in.

It is very easy to enter votes into the incorrect cells, so Ive set mine up so that you copy and paste the song titles.

[The Speaker]

CakeEater ate them all

 

[Back One Out]

Is SM still crapping on about how streamlined his spreadsheets are?

I bet he is loads of fun to be around at parties

 

[SM]

Is SM still crapping on about how streamlined his spreadsheets are?

I bet he is loads of fun to be around at parties

Oh stop flirting you old cutie, I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

 

[ChappyUK]

Is SM still crapping on about how streamlined his spreadsheets are?

I bet he is loads of fun to be around at parties

All spreadsheets here are all a variation of my original one.

 

[Harvey Manfrenjensenden]

All spreadsheets here are all a variation of my original one.

None of them work anyway

 

[ChappyUK]

None of them work anyway

They do in skilled hands.

We might all stand a chance if they don't nom.

 

[_Rake_]

I was going to make a return this round until I saw the awful treatment of Herbie Hancock in the last round. Anyway, enjoy this belter of a punk 7'' that came out last month. You're all welcome.

Nice, zero nonsense.
Reminds me (in a good way) of a less snarly version of The Coltranes (who sadly didn't poll well recently here).

 

[_Rake_]

And Elton Johns Wig.

Everything Elton noms anyway sounds exactly like The Kinks anyway so it's hard to tell.

 

[HahnPremium]

All spreadsheets here are all a variation of my original one.

So they mutated?

 

[_Rake_]

Top Ten. The only way is up.

Don't worry. The most unsuccessful cabal in history got ya back.
Top 9 might be coming your way.
Maybe.



...

 

[HahnPremium]

An unsuccessful cabal?
How do they keep the band together?
Sing dirgey motivational songs to raise spirits 'round the campfire?

 

[GreyCrow]

30 minutes and waiting on 2

Maybe one campaigner is protesting and wont enter

 

[Harvey Manfrenjensenden]

I still don't which one of my songs the host has accepted.
