Toughest choice of the day for me, between Olive and Lush. Olive is the one I liked most (by far) at the time, but Ladykillers is a lot better than I remember it being. Vote for Olive and bonus for Lush I think, the other two perfectly good choices as well, but miss out in a tough group.

Funnily enough this is precisely what I was going to post

Looks like I was the top ranker of this one as well, would have been nice to see it sneak through

We have a joint account which we use for the vast majority of stuff too (most of our money goes on bills and things related to the kids so makes sense for us)

I see I was the only one to bonus this. Quite the HM to bonus ratio.

A group full of tracks I voted for in the first round. Low remains my favourite track in the tournament so will get my vote, but I hope Urusei Yatsura get through too.

Killer of a group this one, 3 bands I love and one I like. S-K and Stereolab with good but not great tracks by their standards. B&S on the other hand, this is one of their best. The Chemical Brothers might just take my vote with a track so good even Noel Gallagher couldn’t ruin it. Bonus for B&S

One of those happy groups where I will at least quite like whichever songs go through. My vote is for FSOL, but am thoroughly expecting them to finish bottom.

Wrote a new blog for this one last month as I knew it was coming up as my number one markjwray.com/2026/06/05/e...

Every Song I Love : 30. Fischerspooner – EmergeThe 30th in my ‘Every Song I Love’ series, on Emerge by Fischerspooner, The Baron of Techno and great hubrismarkjwray.com

Apologies for the confusion, should have been clearer on the original nomination

I was intending to nominate this version yes, but happy to leave as the single version for the poll, especially as already in the playlists. Someone else said they were going to nominate anyway and they would have picked the single version (which I imagine has more chance of going through anyway)

My shameless electioneering is paying off!

I do like this one a lot, but struggled to decide upon a favourite Jeffrey Lewis and ended up not picking any

It’s another one I have written about on the blog: markjwray.com/2025/06/27/e...

Every Song I Love : 23. Björk – Hyperballad & 24. LFO – FreakA double header of songs that I love, with Hyperballad by Bjork, and Freak by LFO, which for a glorious moment became one.markjwray.com

Same here

Good to see one of my noms through, and pretty comfortably as well, in a fairly tough group

Great song, got my vote.

To be fair I think the version they used to play out was a shorter edit with an earlier drop. So might have done better with that version. I still love any version myself

Tough group, but Etienne De Crecy just nicks it for me.

…they were unlike anything I’d heard before, although much imitated since. Anyhow, I wrote more about this one in my blog a while back so have a look if you’re interested. markjwray.com/2024/07/18/e...
