Penny's Best of TSC 2021: Honorable Mentions #1

Dec 4, 2021 by PennyTrationStan
first, i'll be going over the users who either didn't play enough contests for me to highlight more than one song, or the players that only sent one or two songs throughout the year that i thought were highlights (LOL imagine). so without further ado, let's get into it!

1001games
✧ "bust your knee caps" by pomplamoose // finished 31st in TSC 435, 7 points



"one of the worst "songs" I've ever heard. fuck off." —#QueenMichelle

a relatively new addition to the TSC cast, i feel like my music taste and #1001games is pretty much as incompatible as it can be for the most part, with me having shat on most of his entries throughout the year. however, there have been some instances where i did the 1001games wave, (the dollyrots and castlecomer come to mind).

however, none of them have left me so enthralled and in awe like this hymn did. this post-ironic art pop masterpiece has left an enormous impact on me and darbe as a person. an incredibly breathtaking listen that i still have to recover from months after listening to for the first time. exercise your mind, like the romans.

"I think if I was more drunk I’d appreciate this as a really good song but I’m just not vibing with it sorry" —#connorthomson

ahhhh. this stunt queen. the fallen host of the dearly missed other song contest group game on tengaged.com that we shall not discuss, #alexito COULD turn the party every once and a while, as exhibited with the entry i'm about to discuss.

i had this same song on my to send list before it got snatched from me so obviously it's one of the best songs ever made. while it's pretty basic in terms of instrumentation, it's just executed really well. the juddering synths along with the free youtube royalty music instrumental and the melancholic vocals + lyrics create a really neat vibe. cool stuff, and probably would rank in my top songs sent this year if i were to do a numbered list. bop!

bibbles
✧ "drunk-dazed" by enhypen // finished 1st in TSC 440, 154 points



"I guess this is our landslide winner, everyone? And I understand why, Tom was right like... This has an almost early 10s feel to it, but it really hooks you in in a way which grabs you. That chorus? Infectious. It slaps everywhere. I imagine this piece picking up all the awards. Like, mhm. Period. Yes. Exactly. Congratulations PennyTranStationFan, you are the winner this week. I just feel it in my bones it's you, I do." —#ganghandedcat

i mean... what is there to say that hasn't already been said about bibbles? she is the icon, the legend, the moment, pull up in the sri lanka, etc etc etc. obviously, like the feeble minded gays at the TSC, my taste is not nearly as big brained as bibbles, so i can't appreciate her usual men rock serves... so i went with the flashy kpop song! i hate to pick such an obvious boring pick for a song to highlight, and i hate to pick these twinks who stole andrea valle's deserved win that week for a moment of praise BUT... i can't make the music not bop.

it's kinda aged since it won but this really does remind me of the crazy early 10s electropop, like seriously this would slot right in kesha's first two albums LOL. and it totally goes off too. maybe twinks can make good music. a stomper for the ages i say.

I think music peaked the day bust your knee caps was recorded in the studio

Am I mad that bibbles blocked Tamed-Dashed from being sent when it came out? Maybe. Did she deserve a win this year? Hell yeah
