[raskolnikov]

Place names in the title, raskolnikov?

Yep.

 

[raskolnikov]

Bow River thanks.

In.

Meanwhile 5 people have already tried to nominate Hotel California.

How boring and uninspired. Luckily it's ineligible.

It was released on an EP by a different name. I even clarified with Drunk Goliath that it was fine. Not my fault others didn't understand the theme.

The fact is that it was released as a single before being included on the EP.

 

[LiterallyNobody]

No previous podiums. Noms due 9pm AEST (8pm real time) tomorrow.

Do you mean AEDT? Or are you admitting that standard time (ie Queensland time) is not “real time”?

From the info I could find it looked like Oil & Water was where the song was released. That one may have slipped through the cracks, I apologise.

Yes. AEDT. That one.

The single was their first release, so it would be easy to miss.

 

[LiterallyNobody]

Yes. AEDT. That one.

Excellent. Now to just find a Muse song with a place name on the title...

Excellent. Now to just find a Muse song with a place name on the title...

A region of Mars comes to mind.

 

[Drunkgoliath]

I mean, I'm already wearing this av over my birthday, punishment enough?

26 of my favourite underrated Song Contest Songs of 2018- Part 1
Here are 26 underrated favourite songs of mine from the 2018 Song Contest . Max of one song per nommer, no podiums
Firstly , apologies to raskolnikov and GreyCrow - I love you both, but I spent an hour trying to pick just one song from your long list of eligible ones and then gave up because it was impossible . I also liked the number 26 due to there being 26 rounds of games in the footy year (including finals) , and 26 fortnights, so you two were the unlucky ones. I hope you can forgive me. Also sorry to the lovely SparkleNarkle - because you joined late in the year, I had few songs to pick from.

Here they are in chronological order:

[DroopStDanny]

Pretty disappointed that people artist Billy. It's a very good song..

I Billied your song. If I was to instabilly an artist from that playlist there would be daylight between RHCP and the next contender, but I'm not petty like that.

 

[DroopStDanny]

Post-round update! (363)

• In a tough round, Ulahoopski was unlucky as he won his 6th billy.
• DroopStDanny is on a threepeat as he got his 28th podium.
• SarahSmiles got his 2nd podium.
• Drunkgoliath won his 3rd contest along with his 7th podium.

That was it from a round that didn't have any highlights aside from the placings.

 

[Hoos]

Omg I gave you votes, Hoos

It had to happen sooner or later (in all fairness, that song was pretty ****ing brunchy).

Not only no song, but no mention of an apology for the hideous omission either?

Unbrunchy.

 

[SM]

The fact is that it was released as a single before being included on the EP.

The fact is the host was fine with it being included because the theme isn't strictly B-Sides.

 

[NaturalDisaster]

When did MWPp turn into Plugger?
