Most odd..works fine for me...dunno what could be causing that. I gather some tablets/phones can be probematic, but is anybody else using normal laptops/Pcs etc, having this problem?

"Oh, playlist wouldn't load again"

oh lucky you!

Wee pecker! parp!

And that...is..finally....that! Cream of 2018 is done and dusted.

Tech..you can run around like a gleeful madman if you want! lol!

A resounding win for 'Low Earth Orbit' by North Atlantic Oscillation then, having had stormed way into the lead on 24 points. So ,the final C.o.2018 gold medal is awarded to Fishy Jim. Congratulations Jimbo! :)

'Kraftverk' by Baby Grandmothers, comes in 2nd place with 13 points, so Spacepig adds another silver one to his impressive score of medals, and finally finally...

*sighs*....another blinkin' tie! Three songs tied on 10 points apice; they are:

Ever New - Beverly Glenn Copeland, nom'd by Lez
Jigar - Sarin, nom'd by Helen
& thanks to FJ's final vote, Molecule - Weedpecker, nom'd by moi.

I did do a countback..which the results shows:-
BGC - 1x3, 3x2, 1x1
Sarin - 1x4, 3x2
Weedpecker - 1x4, 1x3, 3x1

So, i guess i would take the bronze..but then i thought.. ack sod it..we can all share the bronze between us.....anybody got a angle cutter?!

Congrats to Fishy Jim, Spacepig, Lez, Helen & da Duke. Half the nommers then!

Thanks to everyone that participated...we'll do it all again one day!
Steady tech..steady....back to normal now....the themes shall now resume, in..but a moment.

Ta La

Well done Jim. Great track!

Regarding future themes, I know we did a general film music one but I wondered if it’s worth doing separate ones for different genres - favourite Western music, horror, crime etc. Not consecutive, just interspersed with other choices.

Throw it up for debate in the themes nomination thread, Lez.

cream of 2018? by the end there (and i was dropping in for a listen now and then) it was more 'rancid stinky yoghurt, sell by 1988'

I know we all enjoy finding some new and different music each year (well maybe Tech not so much) but I'd just like to give a shout out to "the oldies" who showed age is no barrier and put out some good stuff this year.

John Prine - 72
Jane Siberry - 63
Joan Baez - 78
Marc Ribot - 64
Barbra Streisand - 76 (her album "Walls" and the single "Don't Lie To Me" show protest is alive and well)
Judith Durham - 75 (voice as clear as a bell)

There's probably heaps more I've forgotten about but good on 'em all.

Thanks Lez. Who'da thunk a piece of contemporary prog would win one of these rounds.

Honestly, Tech, you moan about the music selections on here more than I used to do!

well jim, it's only because i'm cursed with such exquisite taste that i feel the need to attempt to correct those not so fortunately blessed! it's a burden!

Tell me about it! ;-)
