What is the current status of ASFM?

[dUbrodošli]

I’ve noticed there hasn’t been one in ages and they used to be on all the time

I admittedly checked out a while ago but I have a doomed song to enter so WHAT GIVES

 

[Joseph]

Vanessa Williams didn’t win so I have boycotted them

 

[funky]

I have a song ready to go

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

I was thinking of running ASFM (A Song for MONGE) where the winner receives a sickening 1 year supply of MONGE, and the rest of you are sent off to the mincer.

 

[TiShh]

@ButterTart needs to come 'ome and host one quite frankly

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

Where is BT? Did he finally find a nice lad and settle down?

 

[dzjermlaw]

ASFM died. There was a massive explosion and @ButterTart was caught in the blast. It was very sad.

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

To shreds you say?

 

[Ig Komme]

RIP ASFM

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

I have been wondering this, but it's such an EFFORT ZAP

 

[jyxz]

Do I still have the most wins?

If anyone is feeling nostalgic, all the ASFM threads up until Christmas 2021 are archived here:

A Song For Moopy

From the Caramella girls to the Caramella girls, it's all here in Moopy's varied music tastes

[Soldi Elektronike]

It felt like a LOCKDOWN thing for me. Every one after felt like a chore.

 

[dUbrodošli]

Surely it could quite comfortably be a twice a year thing? Shortly after Eurovision and then Jan or something

I wanted to take part & it seems to have DIED OFF shortly after I joined

[Ich Carniva-la-la-la]

I mean there was a new one EVERY OTHER DAY at one point!

Sounds like a self nomination to host to me

I WOULD but I'd like to take part in one first just to get the full gist

 

[funky]

These people revealing themselves to be ASFM haters is giving me “family members who voted Tory” PTSD

 

[disneyteletubby]

I was also wondering this recently; found some more Moopy-aligned songs since, I think

 

[Berly]

I discovered a lot of really good music through ASFM but think it somewhat limited the site wider posting about music because people would want to ‘save’ songs and not talk about them outside the competition

 

[BoysForSeles]

I enjoyed these generally though the last few did seem to consist of largely the same sort of song being submitted and voted for over and over on the whole and nobody really giving some of the outliers a chance, or at least it felt that way.During lockdown it was way more diverse but yeah I’d prob play again.

 

[Roe-st Potato 🥔 🌳]

I like the Christmas edition a lot.

I thought it worked better during covid moreso because people actually attended the viewings and the results. It can be a little sad nowadays when there are two people watching and four at the results.

 

[Berly]

Plus I’d hazard a guess that at least a third of those playing don’t listen to the songs in the last few at least

 

[Roe-st Potato 🥔 🌳]

How about a country-folk focused ASFM to get things back into gear?

 

[Roe-st Potato 🥔 🌳]

A classic moment

Are you trying to give me an aneurism?

 

[Roe-st Potato 🥔 🌳]

Are you trying to give me an aneurism?

I'd noticed you'd been strangely quiet in the latest Mary Chapin Carpenter album thread.

slash Americana (performed by Scandi artistes) is my jam

Did Butters Smith & Thell entry win or did it just do well? I remember the video had a runaway horse and cart ?

(and why cant I tag him)

 

[TiShh]

@ButterTart come 'ome!

I think I ran that one and it did well but didn't win.

Who has the time to listen to 30-40 songs to find the 3 tolerable ones and then watch your own entry tank in favour of something that sounds like a freshly-neutered cat on acid while a 90s Casio preset plays too fast in the background?
