Re: Doire 130: Xmas NF - we're throwing a Christmas party!


Welcome to Doire for our first ever Christmas themed National Final (there usually is a Bandcampfestivalen this time of year, but we'll save that for a later edition). We will hear 4 songs by the quirky Dutch festive poppers How To Throw A Christmas Party. Each one brings Christmas joy in it's own way. We'll leave it up to Natia to decide which is the best.
Here are the songs:

Fleecy Flocks

xsanta
The Gospel According To A Sheep

Sip some mulled wine, have some mince pies, pull some crackers and pull up in front of the fire to vote. Please send your votes to me in the 12-7-3-0 format by December 12th. Happy listening​

Re: Doire 131: AudioDamn! - Lights Out feat. Congrats 13

Presenting the Congrats 13 entry.
::doi ::doi ::doi ::doi

I discovered this band around the time I was doing my dissertation and studying for my final exams, so this song and their other mellow and dreamy songs provided a soundtrack that really got me through a tough time. I had about 5 songs of theirs I was in love with, so really couldn't choose between them. I eventually chose this one since there's something about the performance that touches me. I'm a bit reserved about sending them to Congrats, as they're one of the front runners to be first ever repeat Doire artist and I don't want to oversend them. But I can't resist here.

I just had to say that the Christmas song you've picked as your entry was the best version I've ever heard of a Christmas song. :mrgreen: Thanks for sharing it.

Re: Doire 133: Bohemian - Strong (and big plans for NSC 134!)

A song that describes how I've been feeling over the last few months and in particularly the last 3 weeks

Bohemian - Strong

As for NSC 134, Doire is planning something special for our 60th entry and 5 year anniversary since joining NSC. Watch this space.​

Re: Doire 134: Alumni NF

59 editions, 5 years, ~70 artists of ~25 nationalities. Doire has had an illustrious history. But in all the years of participating, Doire has never sent an artist more than once. Until now. For NSC 134, we present our Alumni National Final. 20 artists who have all competed for Doire in the past will take part to have the honour of representing the country a second time; this time for the 60th entry and 5th birthday celebrations. 20 songs will be split into 4 semis of 5, which will take course of the next week and a half by private message. From there, the top 2 in each qualify to the final, which will be a public vote and open during the NSC 134 confirmation period. Please suggest artists that you would like to see represent Doire again? If you think an artist was criminally underrated, or there's a song from an artist here you truly love, or if you've only ever liked 1 of my entries and think the rest are awful, please do suggest.
Semis will be produced in the coming days, so please do say if you;d like to take part!

Re: Doire 134: Alumni NF

The show is ready! It was actually ready last week, but my hard drive just randomly decided to not exist any more, so I lost the show I had. But it's been recreated. There will be 4 semis of 5 songs each, and I've tried my best to separate the similar songs into different semis.

The following editions will be represented:

76 ♢ 78 ♢ 82 ♢ 83 ♢ 85 ♢ 86 ♢ 89 ♢ 91 ♢ 93 ♢ 94 ♢ 96 ♢ 98 ♢ 103 ♢ 109 ♢ 111 ♢ 114 ♢ 115 ♢ 116 ♢ 121 ♢ 128

Artists which achieved the following results:

1st ♢ 1st ♢ 2nd ♢ 2nd ♢ 7th ♢ 12th ♢ 13th ♢ 15th ♢ 19th ♢ 20th ♢ 20th ♢ 22nd ♢ 25th ♢ 26th ♢ 28th ♢ s11th ♢ s13th ♢ s16th ♢ s22nd ♢ s24th


Provisional deadline 23rd March - you dont need to listen to the songs at this stage, you can just rank the artists if you remember them from their previous entries. Voting system for the semis: 5-3-2-1-0. The top 2 from each semi will qualify from the final. Being SVT, we may simulate votes from people based on how they voted in NSC if I really need to make up the numbers for a semi. You can have the show PMed or Skyped to you.
