Ok, Wolfmother was my nom.

Too much meaningless bitching over a fu**in' song. It's too pedantic.

Remove my nom from the contest roo2macca and make things easier. Sorry for being a pain.
Don't blame yourself, I'm not a very good host, this is one in an endless list of stuff-ups by me. The SC is very much like the SFA, a lot of banter but, in the end, we all have good intentions here and like to have a bit of fun to introduce others to new music and to bag the likes of Harvey Manfrenjensenden for terrible music choices (all good-natured like I said).
 
I take everything personally these days. Too much negative crap in my life. I may as well just fu** off completely.

If it makes you feel any better, I got so blind drunk at the 2011 GF that I threw up in a young girls hair and fell asleep in a cubicle after the final siren. If not, I’ll find the picture of me passed out on the toilet floor after my mate retrieved me

I hope you were sober enough to take in the brilliant performance from Meatloaf earlier in the day.

Here's a few handy tips:

1) Don't worry about how many votes you get. Naturally, we all want to finish in the Top 10, Top 5 or even Top 3. But the trick is to not be bothered about the result and just keep nominating songs you love. Who cares if some campaigner disses your choice? It's par for the course for people in the thread to start ripping on popular Aussie artists anytime they get nominated. No one is immune, be they Wolfmother, You Am I, Powderfinger, Midnight Oil, Australian Crawl, Angus & Julia Stone, Sia or Tones & I. If we all liked the same stuff, it wouldn't be as interesting. We probably all lose sight of that from time to time when we complain about dodgy music selections.

2) Get on board with the pedantry. It's all part of the game. Like AFL players ruffling the hair of an outpointed opponent who took his eye off the ball. There aren't too many rules, so when one is broken, it's a good chance to see off one of your rivals and also put the wind up the host for being shit. I still used to cop it years after the event for allowing CakeEater to nom Steely Dan's Deacon Blues in my 'instrumentals' round (0 votes, 15 billies)

3) If you're going to melt, make it a good one. Go hard! Don't apologise. You don't owe an apology to anyone here. We love a good melt.

4) Chin up, old boy! Times are tough for a lot of people. But you've gotta try to stay positive. At least with the current shut down, you can watch a few replays of Geelong's past finals successes - relive the glory days and not have to watch them struggle this season with Dangerfield carrying the team.

I'm assuming that's what drove him to drink.

Sorry to hear mate, really hope things pick up for you. Please hang around, you were always one of my favorite posters.

I find the beauty of this contest is the negative is positive! In a round with no controversial noms you might get a couple of pages of "meh boted" and "whoever nommed such and such is getting my 5" and other such bland shit HOWEVER throw in a nom that doesn't quite fit the theme or one that is any other way polarizing and boy o boy!
This gets thirty five entertaining pages of quality melts!!!

Lots of people say they like the SC cause they get to 'discover new music'...
This is bullshit.
Anyone wanting to listen to new music can just click on a YouTube channel and get sixteen thousand new tracks every day.

This is a shitfight
 
Lol! You know who Jack is yeah?
Yeah, we had the occasional knife fight in the Monumentally Embarrassing Shitfight thread, but my blade was blunt and rusty. By that stage, I was probably just dipping my toe in the Bay 13 cesspit for old times' sake. I probably missed most of his best work.

I was convinced Wolfmother debuted earlier but wiki told me otherwise. I guess I should have read the entire page. It was an honest mistake on my behalf.

The host should trust that the nommer has done the right thing.
 
Imagine melting so hard you confess to nomming a song before the results are released.

Oh wait.
raskolnikov has a heart attack and dies. He goes to Hell where the Devil is waiting for him. "I don't know what to do," says the Devil. "You're on my list but I have no room for you. But you definitely have to stay here, so I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I've got three people here who weren't quite as bad as you. I'll let one of them go, but you have to take their place. I'll even let YOU decide who leaves." raskolnikov thought that sounded pretty good so he agreed. The devil opened the first room. In it was Back One Out in and a large pool of water. He kept diving in and surfacing empty handed over and over and over, such was his fate in Hell. "No!" raskolnikov said. "I don't think so. I'm not a good swimmer and I don't think I could do that all day long." The Devil led him to the next room. In it was SM with a sledgehammer and a room full of rocks. All he did was swing that hammer, time after time after time. "No! I've got this problem with my shoulder. I would be in constant agony if all I could do was break rocks all day!" commented raskolnikov. The Devil opened a third door. In it, raskolnikov saw NinjaSwan lying naked on the floor with his arms staked over his head and his legs staked in spread-eagle pose. Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky, doing what she does best. raskolnikov looked at this in disbelief for a while and finally said, "Yeah, I can handle this." The Devil smiled and said, "Monica, you're free to go!

I was robbed of the win that round. What are you on about Boo?
 
Quite a strong playlist this round. Lotta good songs fell by the wayside, unable to fit onto the 5 position ballot.

These are a few of the best Oz songs I've heard from new bands in the SC.







I won with that Fait song. Been planning to nom her again but she's slipped my radar!
