Good round. Almost gave 10 points to Beastie Boys - Shadrach, but there’s a lot of great tracks so I couldn’t.

Almost went with this…

But really should have gone with this, but I think it’s 1990? Love how mellow and blissful it is.

All those bangers and still finished 44th

#419

Well done everyone, I came 8th so just outside of the spots to choose a round for the next league which means that if anyone picks a subject for a round that I don’t think is brilliant you will all be hearing from me*

*This probably won’t happen… probably.

#420

I entered literally the only 80s rap song I can think of that probably wouldn’t have been picked by anyone else so I’m pretty happy with the 4 points for Band of Jocks (and this fever dream of a video). Contrary to all the other rappers rapping about rapping they’re actually rapping about DJing (and some other stuff, but mostly DJing).

Q. Will I automatically go into Round 3?

#423

No.

#424

What do I need to do?

#425

I imagine the link to join will be posted here again. It counts as a whole new thing so everyone needs to join once it’s set up.

Very happy with my place in the UEFA places and a round choice. Had a slow start to league 2, but some Ethio jazz, Congolese Soukous and an '80’s rap track with <1,000 monthly listeners gave me a storming finish. Nice work DIS!
