cw: discussion of homophobia & transphobia (47m - 1h:1m)And so, at long last, we reach that special point in the year when Mira takes over. They've listened to all of these songs multiple times before, and now it's their turn. With a top 37 in hand, we run through all of this years songs, pausing for anecdotes, observations or occasional rants. It's a marathon!

And so we come to our last three songs of this year's line-up, which just so happen to be the last three songs to be revealed this year as well. What we're asking is: was it worth the wait? What we're also asking is: will Mira be able to guess exactly which three countries we are yet to visit? What we're also also asking is: have any of our listeners tried hot mango yet? In this episode, we listen to:🇦🇿 TuralTuranX - Tell Me More🇦🇲 Brunette - Future Lover🇬🇪 Iru - Echo Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ladies and gentlemen, we hope you're ready for the final part of the Battle of the Bands. It's been a long night, we know, and there's, I know, listen, no, I know, but there's beer on everyone's clothes, it's not just you. Yes, yes, no, I understand it's very upsetting that someone dipped their hair in your beer, but the organisation is simply not responsible for that - hey, listen, we're here for the music, yeah?

Oh, you'd better be careful, because the girlies have come out in full force. These women are trying to assert themselves as powerful individuals, but unfortunately they still have an obstacle to overcome. An ex? A ghost? A profession that undervalues their work? A mix of the three?In this episode, we listen to:🇮🇸 Diljá - Power🇵🇱 Blanka - Solo🇦🇹 Teya & Salena - Who The Hell is Edgar? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sit down and listen. Or, in the case of these three artists: sit down and sing! That's right. Who says you need to take a stand? You can take a seat just as well! And all three of these performers do exactly that: they sit down for a part of their performance. But it's what happens when they get on their feet, that really makes the difference.

You know what they say... don't you? Wait, what do they say? I suppose it all depends on context. You see, a raucous rave in the wild woods would warrant a different discussion than a sombre soliloquy through dusty dunes. On the other hand, surely a scorned songstress has more malicious material than them! And that's not even mentioning the teenager.In this episode, we listen to🇲🇩 Pasha Parfeny - Soarele si luna🇬🇷 Victor Vernicos - What They Say🇬🇧 Mae Muller - I Wrote A Song🇮🇹 Marco Mengoni - Due vite Hosted on Acast.

Ladies and gentlemen, we hope you've enjoyed your intermission, but please take your seats -- oh, what's that? Standing room only? Right. Please be quick to order another beer and make your way back to the sticky floors of this youth centre, because we've got three more bands for you today.

You know what they say: age is just a number. An ever-increasing number, seemingly ticking up faster and faster as time marches on mercilessly. In a desperate plea to make our adult lives feel less terrifying, we went to the zoo. We reminisce about our wild youths of reblogging text posts on tumblr and writing fanfiction.In this episode, we listen to:🇩🇰 Reiley - Breaking my Heart🇱🇹 Monika Linkyté - Stay🇵🇹 Mimicat - Ai coraçao Hosted on Acast.
