A Song For Moopy: Iguana edition - THE REVEAL of which posters sent which songs!

[Soldi]

I sent a Hooverphonic song to Kalavision 1 (Sometimes) and managed to bag BELGIUM

 

[Iguana]

Incidentally I think the only doubling up was 2 posters wanting the USA... @COB was that you? I've forgotten

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I don't know why I chose Greenland. I did Gilead last time so didn't want to so obvious. Turns out half the entrants went fantastical with the countries.

 

[octophone]

How dare SOME QUEENS call THIS QUEEN a CHAV.

I was well into this. Obviously I can't give away my votes but this floated my goat big style.

 

[octophone]

I did New New Zealand because I'm in love with Alice Fraser.

 

[COB]

Yeah, Kelela is Ethiopian-American but was born and raised in the US

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I got Sweden for Kala 1 and used this entry.

 

[octophone]

I mean, part of me would love to just chuck in something really out there but it would be too obvious it was me an would be self-defeating because shoving stuff down people's throats never achieves a damn thing.

 

[Soldi]

Thing is I knew people would guess my entry, but I’d rather enter something that I love (BET HE DOES ETC) and would listen to, rather than going for something to please the masses or try and avoid detection.

I am PLEASED!

I only heard her because she's signed to Warp - they have a much wider range of artists these days. A good thing.

 

[Kate]

I had no idea so many people would pick RIDICULOUS non-countries! I will be more adventurous next time. OR WILL I?

 

[win_the_game]

I went for Curaçao because STEEL DRUMS and PRETTY BLUE DRINKS

I was pleased to see Mayra make an appearance after I bottled out sending 'Tan kalakatan' for Ag's ASFM.

 

[D5K]

I really want to go to Hawaii sometime

 

[AGinAg (37)]

And I was disappointed by the response to my entry! It came late after several other pop tracks including Sunchyme Horror which is quite similar and people were all HEARD THIS 10 TIMES TONIGHT or THE ORIGINAL WAS BETTER.

But whatever. I stand by it. It bangs.

I’m hoping people’s snap judgements in the thread won’t reflect how they voted after a few listens.

 

[win_the_game]

Apologies for my SCATHING remarks.

Let’s both just go for Sanremo songs next time

And I LOVE Tan Kalakatan!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Apologies for my SCATHING remarks.

Oh it's fine. We all say what we think, its part of the fun!

I can't deny I was disappointed though!

I have a weird thing about remixes. I don't like them as a thing. I used to so it might be age. But now I;m like "fuck off and make your own record - you wouldn't chip bits off a sculpture and stick your own bits on".

 

[Kate]

I haven't heard the original which helps I suppose. But Lykke is great in general.

They please my ears and that's all that matters to me!

 

[Tisch]

I got FOURTH choice in Kalavision I. I chose Czechia. He replied "CZECH REPUBLIC IT IS". I later found a Eurovision thread where he refuted the term Czechia and it ALL made sense.

Anyway I entered the same song in Kalavision II and it WON so meh.

I think it's a BIT DULL. But I am obsessed with the remix, so perhaps expected.

 

[Iguana]

I was #1 in the Kalavision selection process

I thought it quite a good reaction actually. Not gonna lie, not one of my personal favourites but I reckon it did well.

I was third

I think I had high hopes!

I'm much rather be challenged that get the usual Sounds of Moopy over and over. My fave stuff across all the ASFMs has definitely been the more OUT THERE choices.

I remember the excitement over the dinner table that you got first and I got fourth. We cried into our Bubble and Squeek. Little did we know what would become of Kalavision I.

 

[Diddy]

Alexandros aren’t Chinese btw, they are Japanese and the frontman lived for a long time in Syria.

I chose China because it has the largest number of migratory bird species. Also I love communism

 

[Diddy]

As for my motivation for choosing Wataridori. I’m well aware that some people will blacklist a song if it’s Asian and/or has guitars and/or has a male vocal.

I’m not trolling anyone, I really like the song and it’s been a soundtrack to me for several years now.

if I wanted to win I’d send some stoner chill-bop, but why would I send a song I don’t like?

I don’t know any hidden treasures from the west anyway, I’ve been out of the game too long.

so anyway fuck the haters, I had to listen to all your shit too, that was punishment ENOUGH!
