Second Nomination "Anna Sun" by Walk the Moon
Re: Unacclaimed 2.0 Nomination Thread
I debated between three choices for my next nomination. They are all fairly recent, and all unacclaimed, but are in my opinion the best songs of their year.
I thought about Cryoshell's "Creeping in my Soul" (2007) and almost went with Birds of Tokyo's "Plans" (2010), but after hearing all three at once, and seeing this song was eligible, I knew I had to go with:
Temper Trap-Fader (2009):

Second nomination:
The 2 Bears-Take a Look Around
Because Joe Goddard is awesome and I'm easily pleased when people acknowledge the existence of bear culture, even if it's just in the name.

Re: Unacclaimed 2.0 Nomination Thread
Capital Cities - Safe and Sound
I'm highly indecisive about this pick...I figure more of you have heard "Safe and Sound", and I doubt a guitar solo would do well in this competition. Plus, I couldn't find a good video of it on youtube.

I am new to this Unacclaimed world cup stuff.
My nomination(s):
1. R.E.M. - Carnival of Sorts (Box Cars)
(2. The Triffids - Red Pony)
Any elimination before quarter finals would be a huge disappointment!

Re: Unacclaimed 2.0 Nomination Thread
I would love to have picked this one too, but sadly it was also selected in the last edition and is ineligible now. It was actually selected by you then, too.Stephan wrote: 1. The Alan Parsons Project - Old and Wise
For people who want to check, here is the list of the last edition: http://pub37.bravenet.com/forum/static/ ... 0&cmd=show
For my second nomination I decided to pick a song from my homecountry, The Netherlands. It's not in the Dutch language, but at least the lyrics couldn't come from somewhere else:
The Nits - In the Dutch Mountains
Apparently the lead singer believed as a child growing up in Amsterdam that beyond the city there would be mountains. There aren't, but this memory inspired the song, which re-imagines The Netherlands as a sort of fantasy landscape. Despite the short length the music makes it feel like an epic, with it's alternately stomping riffs and short wistful interludes. It's sort of prog-rock and a wonderful example of the genre.

Back when they were younger, a little more bad-ass, and not slicked up for the '80s. This is really fun, and surprisingly funky, stuff.

I would love to make my second nomination New Radical's Someday We'll Know, but we already have another song off that album. That whole album should be nominated probably, but let's keep things varied. I'll go with Leon Russell's Stranger in a Strange Land.
Re: Unacclaimed 2.0 Nomination Thread
I was a little hesitant about this one because the Gorillaz are already represented in the game... Nah, Albarn isn't the highlight of the song to begin with.
My second nomination is "DoYaThing (Full Version)" by Gorillaz, Andre 3000 and James Murphy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36DCuT1KxM4
Note: Andre is a little loose with his vernacular, so headphones might be best when listening to this one

Re: Unacclaimed 2.0 Nomination Thread
For any newcomers, even if you did not nominate a song when we had 32, you are allowed 2 now! The reason being we can get to 64 faster that way. I just did a test to see how fast the turnout was.
And for nicholas, ANYTHING not on AM is eligible. You could nominate Beethoven if you wanted.
Great songs, guys! I've actually heard a few before nominating began. During the link uploading, I have now heard every song nominated, and there are no clear favorites!
58 down, only SIX to go! keep it coming and we can start this weekend at this rate.

Re: Unacclaimed 2.0 Nomination Thread
For some reason, I feel an urge to participate, and also to play it with unnecessarily experimental nominations, just for the sake of curiosity on their final placement...

The first in "Diva", a french movie from the early eighties: Wilhelmenia Wiggins Fernandez: aria from "La Wally" from "Diva" ('81)
The second in "The King of Comedy": Van Morrison - Wonderful Remark .The version I would like to nominate is the original 1972 version though, as it appears on the compilation of outtakes "The Philosopher's Stone
If the classical cut is not eligible, here's another cut: Beside - Change The Beat (French) [Female Version] an old school rap track.
Re: Unacclaimed 2.0 Nomination Thread
For my second nomination, I'd like to put up "Baby Blue Sedan" by Modest Mouse:

One of the simplest songs I've ever heard, but also one of the saddest and sweetest and most sincere.

Re: Unacclaimed 2.0 Nomination Thread
Seriously, Tally Ho is not even Bubbling ??? Wow, the whole kiwi country should revolt !
Anyway, I was going to pick Broke by Modest Mouse but they already have a song in, and I realized that Bromst and Spiderman of the Ring are not even bubbling under (and that's a shame).
I was tempted to go with a song in Bromst (most likely the cartoon beat of Woof Woof, what a crazy song) but I'll go with :
Dan Deacon - Wham City (because we don't have enough 10 minutes + songs in yet...)

Re: Unacclaimed 2.0 Nomination Thread
We now have a problem.
I was away for awhile, and we actually EXCEEDED the intended cap of 64!
I don't know what to do!
Here's how I approached it:
I am cutting it off at "Tally Ho!" because that DID slip my radar! Thanks McJagger.
Therefore, arcoramor's song was the 64th and nothing else counts after.
Sorry guys. I had something to do and I forgot to call it. Can anyone else propose a compromise?

Re: Unacclaimed 2.0 Nomination Thread
Crazy thing is, I just checked out American Football's "Never Meant" which would have been my vote against all but 3 songs in this entire competition. Great discovery though, I am going to add to a number of Spotify lists so I can hear it at least once a week at the office!!!
Re: Unacclaimed 2.0 Nomination Thread
Can I change my 2 Bears song to the American Football one?
Re: Unacclaimed 2.0 Nomination Thread
I guess so. If you were to nominate a different song, I would say no, but this is a grace period, and I never made a rule against changing your vote.BleuPanda wrote:Can I change my 2 Bears song to the American Football one?
But the thing is, is this song too new for the poll. YouTube says it was released this calendar year. Seems a little unfair to nominate something so recent. You have to confirm to me it's from at the very latest July 2013.
Alright, so now let's begin a "grace period". I have to work this weekend and cannot open the polls, so I decided to start the poll Thursday and extend it to August 17.
Between now and Thursday, though, I want all of you to do something for me. Look at the first post and check for errors. Check for names, links, and even eligibility.
And if something like this crops up, you may change ONE of your votes, but not both.

Re: Unacclaimed 2.0 Nomination Thread
OK, the vote has been changed.
I should also tell you how I'm grouping the songs.
I took them as numbered, 1-64, and put them on my laptop's randomizer in groups of four. There was no rhyme or reason, the songs have been grouped completely at random to add an air of unpredictability and fun to it!
American Football joins the party in 2 Bears original slot.
