[MENTION=14424]Genesis[/MENTION] is now wondering why his region is being targeted so...

Re: London | THE DUKE IS BACK | WV78: Time to PARTY

My dearest Duke is back!

You might notice your throne is still in perfect condition, I had it put away in storage for you

 

[Lupus]

Re: London | THE DUKE IS BACK | WV78: Time to PARTY

Thank you Duchess! I am glad you kept good care of it for me
[MENTION=10351]Trece[/MENTION] can I have the thread back please when you have a moment?

 

[Eulaliya]

Re: London | THE DUKE IS BACK | WV78: Time to PARTY

Hong Kong's Dowager Empress is delighted to have our Duke back in place of Calvin! But only for a short time perhaps...

Re: London | THE DUKE IS BACK | WV78: SF2 The OT Quartet: "Hold That Sucker Down"

WV78: The OT Quartet: "Hold That Sucker Down"

​

Well I did say "Time to PARTY"... Yup, time for something a little different! This is from the ORIGINAL (and BEST) Queer As Folk, set in my university city of Manchester around the turn of the millennium. I only discovered the series last year, but it grabbed me and I encourage you all to try it out (it's way better than the US version). As for the song, well I do love this kind of music when I hear it, but have never really gone out looking for it. It was only when I got the CD for Queer as Folk that I actually got the track on its own and found the artist. Hope you enjoy the party atmosphere!

WV79: Sigma and Rita Ora "Coming Home"

Going a little Pot 1-3 this edition with a fabulous hit that our dear Connor introduced me to. I've had a yearning to send it for a while, and this edition seemed perfect given what I sent last edition and what I'm sending next edition (NF coming up!) Hope you enjoy it and fingers crossed that we won't be "coming home" too soon (joke courtesy of [MENTION=8763]Gera11[/MENTION] who will be blamed if we DNQ )

One of the most shocking Juror-Song combinations I've ever seen

Good luck

Re: London | THE DUKE IS BACK | WV79: Sigma and Rita Ora "Coming Home"

After disappointing my chums in Pots 8 and 9 a bit with my choices recently, it's time to go back to a genre which is criminally underused at WV. There will be an NF coming after the semi final results, but here's a little clue for y'all to wet the appetites... Knowing how easy my clues seem to be, I reckon you'll have the full NF sorted out before too long!

 

[lavieenrose]

Re: London | THE DUKE IS BACK | WV79: Sigma and Rita Ora "Coming Home"

You've obviously kidnapped Slavko, sent him to London, and will be doing an NF of his to curry favor with Pots 8 and 9.

Thanks to everyone who voted for and saw us into the final

National Final will be up tomorrow evening all being well

I'm so glad that we're both in the final! Congrats again, dear Duke!

Re: London | THE DUKE IS BACK | WV79: Sigma and Rita Ora "Coming Home"

WV80: London National Final: The Planets​

Well it seems that even Calvin couldn't guess what I was truly planning Mr. Holst, despite the very German name, was born in Gloucestershire and died in London and his music is iconic. I'd be amazed if anyone listened too all of the songs in the Planets suite and thought they didn't recognise anything! Without further ado... The songs!









I've chosen performances from the same orchestra etc. to allow for an easier comparison, but I reserve the right to change the performance for my actual entry (and will happily take any suggestions if you're aware of iconic/special performances!)

Voting: Usual Lupine: Any four from 12-10-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-0
Votes: To Lupus
Deadline: 23/06 @20CET

Thanks for voting and hope you enjoy the NF!

Re: London | WV80 Gustav Holst The Planets NF

As the NF has been up for 5 days without voters, I'm putting a call out to y'all! I've also cut down the number of songs just to make it a little easier to get through (50 minutes is a big ask for a single artist NF), so apologies if I have cut one of your favourites

Anyway, #mentionspam

I think I may surprise people with what I have planned for WV81, although when you think about it, it may not be such a surprise after all... Watch this space

Re: London | WV80 Gustav Holst The Planets NF

With three days left to go, I have an iconic two voters, so thanks to Calvin and JChan for their time and thoughts!

As it's so few... #mentionspam2;returnofthespam If you don't have time and want me to stop pestering, just let me know! Don't want to be a pest, but really would love a few more people's thoughts
