Best new tune for me has been Aloe Blacc so far.

Yeah I did feel like I was a bit late to the party considering the song also had over 5 million views on youtube!

So people actually listen to the songs before voting?

I'm glad to hear that.

Yup, sadly a lot of stuff in the Cup is new to me. But I am trying to make up for it quickly :)

Some nice Brazilian stuff from Rita Lee and Astrud Gilberto. There's something really refreshing about Brazilian pop, I find.

Son House's 'John The Revelator' was, er, a revelation. Seriously powerful music.

Rahsaan Roland Kirk's version of Ain't No Sunshine is the best thing I've discovered so far I think.

I loved one of the comments on you tube - "Black guys invented punk as well" :D

As astonishing as this may seem, my fave discovery so far has been 'She's Gone' by Hall & Oates. Completely passed me by till now. What a superb slow jam!

You should have had my childhood AM radio experience..... that was played as much as Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles... meh.

I've always been intrigued by the whole AM thing. It sounds like something I'd be down with, though it's such a subtle (but huge) difference between Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles, so it might be a bit of a minefield!

Because I only really listen to talk radio, there are whole swathes of music that BCB-ers think of as overplayed/pap that I just treat on its own merits. I'm kinda glad about it.
