ETC longlist

[Blisterpack]

That long list: without judging too early - does it look like some of the judges couldn’t be arsed listening to anything outside of one letter of the alphabet? Looks like a few have picked bands based on the letter they begin with....

will have a listen tho

maybe the judges were allocated a section to listen to that were from one letter of the 2000 band long list ...........

Really excited to see Liines on this list. They are a great band.

28% of list is letters A-E.....

might just be coincidence. And yes  a ‘pre-listen to everything else’ vote for Lines from me.

Finished listening to them all and still really rooting for Lines. Accepting that taste is clearly subjective,  I’m sticking sort of with my first instincts. Nearly a third from first few letters of the alphabet and a lot of dross in there. A few interesting acts but can’t help feel that those ‘bloggers’ are either half arsed in their approach or are simply touting  mates or bands who push their twitter/Instagram. If that’s the future of music then Christ knows what I’ve been following on the live scene the past few years.
