We’re back! I had an excellent holiday and return with renewed RESULTS POSTING VIGOUR, so let’s see the outcome of the 2008 poll.
It was a tight one, which makes the points allocation feel especially unfair, but that’s the nature of the game – a very closely packed round.
The bronze – and the 8 points – go to Baltimore Jacks for Danez vs Rifhes’ glitchcore take on New Order. Silver goes to actualee simpson for Camille’s “Canards Sauvages”, moving him tantalisingly close to victory. But Dan Bright-Amaya still has a mathematical chance of overtaking him, and gets his first DOUZE POINTS for Buika‘s hit “No Habrá Nadie En El Mundo”. Congratulations to Dan and Buika and a hearty thankyou to all our players.
Round 7, Four-Letter Words, will be up on Sunday.
Yes, 0 points again! But Buika is a deserved winner.
Almost felt like cheating to nominate what is probably the high point of an artist’s career but been looking to nominate Buika for a while and couldn’t pass up the chance. Glad so many people liked it and check out her other stuff, particularly “Jodida pero contenta” (fucked but happy), which was a contender for my Not In English nom.
I trust that no one voted for what is maybe the most beautiful song Mark Eitzel ever wrote because everyone already knew it and loved it, making it broadly ineligible!
But, fairly, it took me a few years to appreciate this AMC album and this song, so, I get it.
