Not a quantifiable amount of time

Seems like most of my favourite songs have one word titles but I'll go for

Ela Minus - they told us it was hard, but they were wrong

as good as it gets

7?

6/10 its ok i guess

Starting to feel like I should have put this one in instead of (or as well as) Shutdown. HM though at least.

But that desperate desire for change is what allowed it to be done in such a cynical way and they thought they could get away with anything. McSweeney is Mandelson's guy!

Not if you consider that the whole Starmer Labour project was just a vehicle for people like Mandelson to get their important jobs back.

Haha some real forensic noticing happening today

Good work nominators if a bad Aerosmith album didn't get in

Yeah I don't know about creativity but MDMA was an absolute revelation for someone who is mostly terrified of social situations. Maybe the only time I've genuinely felt part of something larger.

Demdike Stare - Forest of Evil (Dusk) (2010)

Country: UK
Single: Yes (Forest of Evil EP)

An appropriate song to get you through the British winter

Sucia?

It was pretty telling at the time, the way the supposedly pro-EU types voted *against* a customs union etc but no it was Corbyn who was the real secret brexiteer obv

Nor me but it would be more interesting than the actual likely winners

On the upside Amanda will prob win the whole thing

#TheTenx5 Day 3

Jain - Makeba (2016)

Country: France
Single: Yes

Apparently this is used for football on the telly now but anyway, still a banger

I don't want to be negative but it even lost to Abra-fucking-cadabra jfc

Joder que no 😔

This is a very authentic Travelodge breakfast

Otoh please keep NIE songs in their own special VIP lane, they deserve it

#TheTenx5 Day 2

Residente & Bad Bunny - Bellacoso (2019)

Country: Puerto Rico
Single: Yes

Well this is timely, and that's quite a start to a video.

This was very close to getting on my list and one for the HMs.

#TheTenx5 Day 1

ROSALÍA - Milionària (2019)

Country: Catalonia (Spain)
Single: Yes (Fucking Money Man EP)

Sitting between the chilled neo-flamenco of El Mal Querer and Motomami's hyper-reggaeton, this is prob one of her most straightforward pop songs, and until Divinize the only one in Catalan.

Vale entonces vamos con #thetenx5

This list is definitely the least coherent so far with a mixture of songs I liked at the time, ones I picked up from other parts of the challenge and a hefty dose of songs plucked from our shared Spxtify likes.

I was going to just post "keegan.gif" but thought that was pushing it :)

That was just me checking what counts as a single over and over again :)

Yeah I mean she has some good songs but I don't think that album is that great overall, and the bar to get on my list was quite high. I could still end up voting for it at some point though.

Most food is 6/10 tbf
