I hate to question our venerable host, but after @Up N Down's Ballot I was on 50 points, then after I received 8 points from @Untouchable Ace I seem to be still at 50 points. Then my last points were an 8 for Jeffo.

So I think my end total should be 66.

I think you also forgot to put a zero after my ‘7’ lol.

Had a good feeling about this one. Strong cross-demographic appeal for francophiles and francophobes – this is about as French as a song can sound without actually being *in* French. (I was genuinely surprised I couldn't find a French "original" version when I searched – I assumed the English lyrics were a translation. The host album is called "Rue des cascades"!)

Yann Tiersen, pianist/violinist/accordionist extraordinaire, has been my favourite French artist since I was first enchanted by the Amélie soundtrack as a kid. Which is mostly not an original score, by the way! It's a compilation of music he'd already released, scavenged from his first four albums – which are all worth hearing in full. 'Cascade Street', one of his rare non-instrumental songs, is among the tracks that didn't make it to the film.

This is a new personal best! Finally, my first silver in this contest! I got a bronze in my first ever Retro (Archive - You Make Me Feel, round 69) and hadn't been back on that podium since. Thank you for the cascade of points, @ohnoitisnathan, @Up N Down, @cdd216, @undisco_me, @Phonetics Girl, @Maki, @berserkboi, @KamikazeHeart, @Jeffo, @pop3blow2, @Disco Blister, @If You Go, @klow, @A&E, @Tiger Suit, and @Ana Raquel.

And all the better that I didn't win! I dread the thought of hosting Retro for the first time, and I know I wouldn't have the good sense to turn it down if it was offered to me.

Timing-wise I'm gonna pass on hosting stuff this month so it's over to you @Filler if you want it!

I hosted my first contest last year and when I was asked I wasn't sure, but it was fine when I got into the swing of things, and in the end I enjoyed it. The Veto panel are very helpful so you can ask them any questions you may have.

Merci à:

10: @chanex
5: @MilesAngel @soratami
4: @cdd216 @TéléDex @invertedbutterfly
3: @WoW73 @Hudvar
2: @MrP @Million_Lights @Untouchable Ace

for their votes for Rose Laurens! Thanks also to @berserkboi for hosting and a big bravo to @iheartpoptarts for winning with some classic "80s parp parp" (my self-coined definition for this particular genre) and all the other medallists!

Looking forward to the next chapter in @Filler's videography if that is what comes to pass for 109. Though I'm probably not ready for it, I need to find a song that will inspire the voters (other than @chanex) to give me more than 5 points!

No videos! Thankfully for my sanity and punctuality, I set a precedent when hosting PJ00s+ of only turning contests into elaborate video art projects when I *won* the preceding round. That behaviour is the hubris of a reigning champion, not a subbed-in runner-up.

But I had a busy stressful Sunday and I've also got a busy stressful Monday to get through before I can devote any thought to this, sorry fast turnaround likers. (...also I'm concurrently hosting another game on another forum. Bigamy is time-consuming!)
