Re: ·

Just wanted to say:

Your 135 entry has grown to a Top10-Hit in my NSC-Country and :ar:t would have received 12 points in the semi from there, if it were not on a break for that edition.

CXXXVII

Zaklonišče prepeva
Samo da prođe demokratija


Wikipedia said:
Zaklonišče Prepeva (Air-raid Shelter Singing) is a Slovenian rock band from Nova Gorica. Most of their lyrics are in Serbo-Croatian with certain amount of yugo-nostalgia.

They published their first album, Nešto kao Džimi Hendrix (Something like Jimi Hendrix) in 1996.

Their third album, Glasajte za nas (Vote for us), was controversial as the television video for the song Vote for us was banned prior to Slovenian elections in 2000. The reasoning was that their fictional candidate, Kradimir Pendreković (Thief Nightstick) might have resembled some real candidates.

And that we live like people again.​

Re: democracy is kill

So after a quadruple NQ streak, I could in theory send something safe again.

Or I could notice that I haven't actually entered any heavy metal songs before, and go with something risky. Obviously, this option is the way.

So in 138, prepare for manly, manly macho metal.

Which Sean?

Who isn’t Sean nowadays? We should all embrace our Sean-ness and stop worrying.

Re: check out my thread, even Sean has posted in it

Alright kids, there’s a band I like, and I can’t decide between two songs. One of them was my WLSC 100 entry, but I might still give it a chance. Please leave some comments on the songs, stating why exactly you prefer one over the other. This is not an NF! I’m not going to decide solely looking at the number of people who voiced their support for one song (although that’s surely going to be a factor), but mainly based on the personal comments. It’s also entirely possible that I disregard it all and send the song all of you actively hate. A lot can happen. Since I generally don’t resend artists, you won’t ever see the other song as an Artyom entry, but you’re of course free to send it yourself.

Manly, manly metal. From Italy. And everyone knows Italians are very manly.



ewww, joke entries

Re: Artyomka has an NF! Well not really, but it’s similar. Though I suppose you could argue that it’s indeed some kind of NF if you really wanted. Either way, look inside please, will you?

I preffer the second over the first, but there is just a tiny gap between them. Beside that, i honestly dont know something usefull to say.

I'm leaning towards the first one, because it's a bit annoying how they just repeat the same word over and over in the second one. But there's not much separating them for me either... I like both of them tho. :)

The first one is decent, but it's dangerously close to being generic pot 6 material, at least for me. The second one however is much catchier, the lyrics are funnier and more creative, and the musical style is more original. Some may say the humour is a little immature, but to that I say

I prefer the second one as well, it's adorable xheart

I voted pretty highly for the first one, too (in WLSC) IIRC, so I think either would be a nice choice :)

Alright then, I see the confirmation deadline is really close now, so I’m prematurely closing off this selection as I’m going to be away during the whole afternoon too. Thanks for the opinions everyone, they’re greatly valued! In the end, I decided to send the song which I slightly prefer anyway; the only reason why I put it up against another song in an NF was that I was afraid it could be perceived as a “joke entry”, and I absolutely don’t want people to think so. I don’t know, maybe I’m a bit over-sensitive to that. Anyway, Artyomka is entering NSC 138 with its first Italian song…

CXXXVIII

Nanowar of Steel
Il Cacciatore Della Notte


Nanowar is a comedy heavy metal band from Rome, Italy. Their name is a pun on the metal band Manowar, and represents their tendency to satirize True Metal, the primary focus of their music. Their work mainly aims to make humorous references to and jokes about the genre, often parodying the way in which power metal bands are perceived to take themselves very seriously.

In 2006 the band changed their name from Nanowar to Nanowar of Steel, as a parody of the Italian power metal band Rhapsody changing their name to Rhapsody of Fire after a legal dispute.

Turn on the English captions, by the way.

Re: Artyomka, home of the majestic Barbagianni of steel – it eats otters for breakfast

Time constraints mean that :ar:t is unfortunately forced to sit out 139. ): Thank you posts will follow later, but I'm super happy about the "garbagianni"'s ((c) Orian) borderline qualification! Thank you especially to Joch and Strajki for the 12s. xheart
