Damn @Wumo, you just found one of my long listed songs for TISC Annual 2020. I didn't think you would have heard this song by Inhaler.

I discovered it via a Danish music website. One of the editors had chosen it as his "hit of the week". I hadn't heard about the band before they were recommended on the site. I find it a bit weird I have never heard about a band who's front singer is one of Bono's sons. I'm glad I now know the band. :)

They are still an up and coming with not much prominence yet. Even in Ireland they are not really known that much yet. And yes, Bono's son, Elijah Hewson is the lead singer. You can really hear the influence of U2 in that song, it has a very nostalgic sound for me :)

Cool. For now it appears our lists will share 3 nations. I'm on 12 entries but there's some time left, I'm not completely satisfied yet. :d

 

What's your means of finding music? Spotify?

There are still three days left of the year. Should be enough time to select 12 songs. 

 

I don't use Spotify. I mostly use Youtube and a Danish music website, http://www.chartbase.dk/.

I find my metal music on Youtube combined with music news websites. I mainly use the Danish music website to discover new Danish music for TAISC. :d The Danish website is also a good source to discover new artists from the electronic and indie-rock/pop scene.

 

On a side note. @Agger I already have a list of 40 songs for the Danish selection for TAISC 2020. I hope you have a lot of spare time in the spring? :p

What I meant was, I might find a bit more than just the 12 selections I've got. Sometimes it pays to wait as well, for 2016 (which there's no list of yet), I've got something released on 29th December. :d

 

Ah, aside from YouTube, I'm clicking my way through Discogs. Once in a while you may stumble upon something obscure and interesting.

Haven't made a list, but I guess I could quickly make a 20 songs list :p

@Wumo I can already tell you my 2019 Golden Raspberry Award for the worst piece I've heard so far goes to Venezuela. :p

 

Is it bad that I don’t actually hate this? The only issue I see with it is that it continuously blows out my speakers.

    • WWE introduced two new Women's Championship belts. The first one introduced was the Women's United States Championship and not shortly after that the Women's Intercontinental Championship. The Women's US Title will be exclusive to SmackDown and the Women's IC Title will be exclusive to RAW.
    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
