Re: haha

see everyone's confused....ok ok ok listen listen...

6 bands in the hat - all recent enough Rising Artists of the Week.

Monday - 2 out, Duke Special and Red Organ thingy thingy, public votes for Duke Special
Tuesday - another two, De Low Rent Ohs and The Beat Poets, public like Del Orentos.
Wednesday - Angels of Mons and Halfset, public votes for 'band 1' which was Halfset. But when totting up the figures, announced the winner as Angels of Mons (who were actually band two, not band one..he mixed it up but no one knew he mixed it up...except halfset obviously who mustve gotten on the blower to get them to double check, and damn right too.)

Thursday - Dunne puts on a serious voice and explains that he got it wrong and Angels of Mons didn't win at all. Halfset, Delorentos, Duke Special are offered to the public. The middle band are chosen....yay

Dunne et al pick a band from the 5 who didn't make it, and that band, together with the actual public choice - Delorentos - ae presented to Chemical Brothers, who decide which of the two bands they'd prefer to have play.
(This last bit has been promised as being genuine but may not be, who knows).

Beat Poets got the slot. Commiserations K, your song was way better.

Re: haha

thats a pity. so basically tom dunne chose the beat poets but got loads of other bands hopes up for a week and wasted everyone's phone credit. sound.

Re: haha

is there any kind of text-in competitions ombudsman we can ring???

 

[coast to coast]

Re: haha

there's an idea.

 

[SONYMEGADRIVE]

Re: haha

maybe we could text in our complaints?

 

[terri_asshat]

Re: haha

Y'know, if everyone stopped listening to Tom Dunne, we wouldn't have this problem.

 

[coast to coast]

Re: haha

but then we wouldn't know if the text competition ombudsman was paying attention to them. unless we wrote 'wb' at the end of it, like teenage girls.

its like banking online. you have to set it up in real person, not fake online person mode.
