BotB V: Emphasis on BandSSSSSS!!!

I'd enjoy hearing you explain to your boss that you were late as you stayed up to find out the results of the second round of a battle of the bands competition on a Scottish football forum... Probably best just to say you had a night on the Bolivian marching powder... :icon_mrgreen:

 

Well, here's a tune than. I'm off. Taz probably meant 8 in the morning.

They're getting used to me being late when Taz starts posting the scores. :smiley-laughing002:

 

You might want to ad Taz to your sig. :icon_mrgreen:

 

offski, night chaps .

 

Put the clocks back, sorted. :smiley-laughing002:

 

Still no sign of Taz??

 

Sorry, damned meds. Only just woke up. Sorry guys.

Which means that unfortunately we have our first out and out casualty of the competition, as both Nuetral Milk Hotel and Circulatory System have bitten the dust. Sorry, Mr Yeats. I am certain an early exit was not something you were wanting to wax poetical about.

Unfortunately for Perry Farrell, his hopes lie soley with Jane's Addiction from this point. Doubly so, because that was a pretty cool tune, but it was a tough group, no question.

51 POINTS


Which means that Selena Gomez is eliminated and we have our 2nd person knocked out all together. Cena came in at the last moment in this comp and helped out in not making this a very awkward number, and am grateful for that, even if his choice did not quite get the appreciation he may feel she deserves?

But my personal thanks to Cena for stepping on when he did.

Which means that this is the end of the line for Brandon Flowers. Ironically the Killers live on, so the question now is, will they get their retribution for this?

But that is not all.

Sean Daleer has advised that he is unable to carry on to try and defend his BotB crown if we are to ccarry on a this time. Which iut seems is because things are all a bit too hectic just now for Mr Daleer. And I assume he is not the only one.

As such, I am going to leave it up to everyone, before I post the songs for the next Round, if people prefer to put this on hiatus until Xmas has passed hen we can do this, if others are going to be too busy over the next week. If we do decid to pause it may give Sean and anyone else struggling with whatever is going on in real life to sort that out and we can move forward together.

Or if people want to press ahead anyhow, then that is what we will do, and sadly move on without Sean Daleer as a competitior, although he still retainisng voting rights as a member of the Jury.

So please pop your opinions/thoughts in this thread as to either moving on or taking a break for the next week.

I will leave this until this evening and se what responses people have, and make a call at that time, one way pr the other.

 

If you want to wait then fine by me.
Not fussed either way.

 

Surprised that both of mine are still in.
Felt sure my secondary pick would have went out.

 

I'm in favour of a hiatus until after new year. I've got a lot of work and personal stuff to get done.

Having said that, if the majority want to carry on, I'll continue to spare a little bit of time to vote and submit.

 

I'd rather wait, think most people will have a lot of * to do just now anyways.

 

I think you should post the songs but give people until after the New Year to vote.

 

I'll happily carry on, but equally be fine with a hiatus if its a problem for others.
