Alpha dogs/wolves are forever young.

Lmao my age was 64, and I think it's because Wire's "Map Ref...." song was in my top 5. Blame Fossie 32

And my top artist INXS is a tad misleading. After I watched a Michael Hutchence documentary I binge listened to their entire discography. It's why none of their songs appear in my top 5 lol.



I loved the Report feature, it was amusing lol

 

[BFew]

I don’t want to be ungrateful but my gift sux.

Next up, we have a present for @BFew !

And look here, they've received a gift from Man-Made Sunshine, called I Have More Than One Soul . The nommer did not say how many souls they have.

My gift heart beats beautifully.
Absolutely love it.
My gut tells me that a feline or feline lover is my Kringler this year.

I had similar with Bruce Springsteen - I had one week where I was in a mood and listened to his entire discography, but otherwise didn’t really at all, so none of his songs were in my top played list. It also had Tracks as my most listened to album - I only listened to it once but it’s four hours long.

Listening age of 20 for me - new music scout was my role.

This round is going to be hilarious when people dont onclude their gift songs in their votes.

One doesn't like to be rude.
Besides, I did like my gift.

Sometimes you have to be rude so you can get the gift you want

Stealing/Evil Secret Santa is actually a lot of fun...but only when all the secret Santa gifts are generic and the order of selection and/or stealing is random ^ . It's a decades long tradition amongst my friendship group. It doesn't work as well when combined with this sort of Secret Santa when each gift was bought with someone in mind.

Oh my daughter and I are very direct after many mishaps.

I went a bit mental on Ana Lua's latest release.

Only averaged 2 new artists found per day this year. Not great.

#SongContestNominations

We are well on our way now, with a gift for Fossie 32 . The message says 'Merry Xmas Fos, I hope you enjoy this present, it’s one of my favourites from that era.' . It is a 50s classic, that's for sure, it's The Coasters with Yakety Yak!

Love it, thank you to my Secret Santa

 

[Fossie 32]

How about not doing f'n BMs for this round

I feel like I’ve been given the equivalent of a lynx africa gift set

If we put this to a vote it’s a no from me ie keep the BM . For multiple reasons - it provides incentive to listen to even the most horrible seeming track until the end to see if it remains bad , it serves as a tiebreaker and no Christmas is complete without a grinch. It can be renamed Grinch for the round

My fave is one my sister gave me, a prank mug with a hole in the bottom.

And it was hidden, so you didn't know until hot drink hit your christmas attire?

Or in your case, the gift you deserve.

Don’t have Spotify but would guess my listening age is around 40-60s

After not being scared by any of the recent song contest vampire theme songs, I actually had a huge scare in my hot Sydney car today.

After having turfed out a medium size t's spider from inside my car, that had started to make it's home there whilst I was parked for 15 minutes, myself and a loved one got in the car to drive off. But when I looked down at my Apple watch on my left wrist, all I could see was a spider covering the whole watch face, attached to a thick strand of spider web.

In a fright, I flung my left hand out to try get the spider off
My loved one let out a shriek, her mobile went for a fly, and she bolted out of the car.
I then used an old cap on the back seat to quickly turf this 2nd brown spider (looked the same as the first one, probably it's partner) out of the car.

Lucky we were parked at a hospital not too far from the Emergency entrance.

That was the scariest watch face in the history of the universe.

Really no surprise for me. The listening age was also only one year off, which seems good compared to some friends.
Also the minutes listened is inflated because I put podcasts on when I go to sleep.

I was hoping to get to 100,000 minutes but unfortunately at work when I log into spotify it makes me change my password every month.

That's a solid number
