i listened to that julia holter album a few times already too, need to pick that one up

Once again, haven't heard a single one of these (unless Gabon's is a cover of the Jackson 5 song) (also I know my own duh).

Should be interesting.

Will marathon and rate tomorrow.

You are right, actually. I saw D'Angelo on the song list and didn't realize it was the same artist (this one was entered as D'Angelo and the Vanguard.)

I will fix this ASAP.

Psyche has opted to drop his song from this contest (Andorra, D'Angelo and the Vanguard) in exchange for a first-priority guarantee into the next song contest. My apologies.

Take that, Portugal!


I would have entered something else off Panic!'s newest album, but I figured Victorious would grab the most points. I was tempted to enter Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time but figured the sample would lose me more points than it'd earn.

LA Devotee and Emperor's New Clothes were my other runner-ups.

Link to a youtube playlist of the album if anyone wants to give it a listen. It's the only full Panic! album that I've downloaded and I like it a LOT.

Yeah, me too which is why I was going to change it. I do love the song I submitted, but there are other songs I love more.

I forgot to change it though because I had too much to drink :/

I generally still prefer stuff from Pretty. Odd.

I think they've done some interesting exploration and some good stuff, but I don't feel as though they've put something out that I've liked as much as Pretty. Odd. other than their first album.

Namibia – Chon: It's kind of fine? Decent zoning-out music. Doesn't do anything that makes me want to listen though. (B-)
Spain – Neon Indian: Interesting, not spectacular (B)
Hungary – Death in June: I find this to be generally dull. (C+)
Burkina Faso – Soap&Skin: Failed to hold my attention in any way (C)
Iceland – Bent Knee: Was interesting, at least (B)

Republic of Kugelmugel - A$AP Rocky: Okay, I can dig that. (B+)
Gabon – The Piano Guys: I have heard this before but it is awfully hard to not like the Piano Guys, even if this one is a bit overwrought, IMO (B+)
Central African Republic – Madness: Myeh. Fine. Not special (B)
Fiji – Birdy: This was pretty good. (B+)
Turkey – July Talk: This was pretty good. I liked it (A-)

USA – Sunrise Skater Kids: oh-ho. Clever. Sort of. (B)
Cote d'Iovire – Killola: Fine, not special (B)
Netherlands - Panic! At The Disco: Yeah these guys still got it. (A)
Chad – Slaves: Pretty decent. (B+)
Greece – Neko Case: This is solid, I dig it (A-)

Botswana – Julia Holter: This does not make anything resembling an impression on me (C)
Italy – Annabel Jones: Pretty good, not spectacular though (B+)
Mozambique – Mountains for Clouds: Fine not great (B)
South Korea – Ladybrugs: Interesting, but I wish they did a little more. Feel like I might like this artist though (B+)
Wales – Little May: This was all right, worth another listen (B+)

Portugal – Fractal: I rather enjoyed this (A-)
Philippines – Hyukoh: This is okay, not spectacular. I prefer understanding the lyrics in music like this where the lyrics are so central, though. (B+)
