CD 19 - Theme Announcement ...

Theme Announcement:

I'm not going to launch it just yet, but Pete has decided that the theme for the next CD will be ...
 
*Royalty*

Be creative! Or not. I wouldn't blame anyone for putting on a Queen track ... even though they've been on before.

CD 18: 18ve Results

CD18 - Results In a dramatic late climb up the table Pete Hodgson secured a few 12 pointers and has ended up being the winner … again!

So Pete H scored 97 points with PJ Harvey’s The Whores Hustle and The Hustlers Whore. Incidentally, this track also gets the Marmite award for either being loved or hated.

In second place we have Pete K whose Modern Love by The Courteeners scored 91 points, having been ahead in the voting for most of the time scores were coming in, right up until the last deciding sheet.

Third place goes to Katja who chose Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t’ve) by Buzzcocks scoring 87 points.

We wouldn’t want for two of the Petes to be in the medals without the third Pete getting something, so thankfully, Pete Q showed spookily accurate insight into guessing who put on what, getting 9 correct (including his own). If his IT skills were slightly better, I’d suspect him of hacking into my files!

And now, the not so pleasant part of the awards … the Wooden Spoon. What to say? A few tracks flirted with the bottom spot, but in the end, Sam’s The World Spins by Julee Cruise proved to be just a bit too slow and long for most people’s taste, and scored 24 points. Perhaps too many points to fully claim the ‘Why Did You Even Bother’ award.

Howard and Katja were the only people to avoid detection this time, with no-one pegging them for their respective tracks, and this being despite Howard having put on a Tom Waits track in the past!

Franck gets the ‘Hiding In Plain Sight’ award and was picked out 7 times. Jasper was much improved in this regard, this time round and was only picked out twice.

Simon and Jim were each picked out 6 times, just once less than Franck.

Thanks all for another memorable CD.
