Didn't enter and missed last week, but here's my two from each group for this week! Group 1 Betty Evertt | You're No Good Tennis | Dreaming Group 2 David Wise | Stickerbrush Symphony - Definitely recommend going back and listening to the original track if you missed it, much more interesting Ramones...

Hoped the Beths would be out of bubbling but otherwise looking real good, this is amazing to see this finally happening!

I take a break from the forum for a bit and somehow one of my albums has survived. <3 I will be back eventually.

In order, but I don't know if I can tolerate adding the numbers for all of this... I spent most of the 2010s not listening to new music until the last few years - about the same time I found AM and the forum, actually, when I was trying to find some lists of new music as recommendations. So I can't ...

Also, there's a hint in the music itself - the ending of Spiral of Ants starts to replicate the beginning of Lifetime Achievement Award, as if the album is going to start all over again.

They are bonus tracks - on Bandcamp I believe they aren't actually available unless you buy the album. They're also listed as such, and very different from the rest of the album - an archival list in alphabetical order rather than anything worked properly into an album order.

493. Annie Crummer - Language - 6 Somehow have not heard this before despite being a big hit in New Zealand. Kiwi patriotism is such that if this happens to a song, this means that no-one wanted to keep it around. It is definitely very of its time but I get some enjoyment from it. Rarely has African...

That was the only streaming I could find it on besides half of the tracks being on youtube. And not available in NZ. VPN for the UK worked just as miles suggested though.

Can't vote in any sense (although with Australia's inclusion... maybe someday) but I want to say that I've been obsessed with Russia's entry, Uno by Little Big, for the past week. Not neccesarily for the song, either, I just think the video's really funny.
