Post your 5 favourite tracks, in any order, in a comment at the bottom of the page.
Members of Team Freshnet listened to every track that came in this week. We handpicked these for your listening pleasure – please let us know which five you like best.
Tips:
– Listen randomly through the list: don’t start at the top and work down
– Dip into as many tracks as possible, like channel hopping on TV.
– Try new artists you’ve never heard of first
– Be biased – go on your own personal taste – no need to be “fair”
– If you’re hating what you hear, move on.
– The only question is: do I like this – yes or no?

ARTISTS: please DON’T ask friends and fans to come and “vote” for you here – it isn’t fair on the other bands. This isn’t a competition to find out who has most friends on Facebook and Twitter: it’s to find out which songs win the hearts of strangers. If you believe in your music, allow it to win on its own merits…

@Zahra Don’t worry – the order you put them in doesn’t matter. We just want to know your five favourite tracks, in any order.
@Louis cheers for the heads-up, have amended reality accordingly 🙂
@gary the Bogdana Chivas track has never appeared on this page because they disabled the “embeddable” option when uploading it, so that’s why it isn’t in the list.
On this page we ask people to listen to everything and then tell us their 5 favourites. Anybody’s welcome to come and comment of course, but we only actually count the ratings from people who pick five.

First time I’ve ever been on this side of this, and it’s just as difficult as I always thought it would be. I suspect my choice depends so much on my mood – could have been very different!

i’ve deliberately put the slydigs in three times cause i was blown away by sheer musical punch…wonderful production ..the brass was uplifting..and the singing was urgent and just the best.
I logged on purely to say how much I’ve enjoyed listening to all this weeks songs on the listening post,a fine & varied selection.
Will vote tomorrow

Thankyou so much to all our volunteer Music Critics for giviing up your time to help out again this weekend. Great to have your responses to an outstanding set of tracks on the Listening Post this week.
There were midly suspicious responses for one particular band this week. Coming first on the list of lots of first time visitors. The same computer being used more than once. And getting noticeably more “votes” than anybody else in the list. But on this occasion we’re saying nowt because Mar and Mary Cigarettes have rated the track in their own Top Five. And that’s good enough for us.
Finally a teensy heads-up to LINDA JENNINGS, SONGS FOR WALTER, BENTCOUSIN, TOBY WATSON, THE HYPNOTIC LIGHTS and THE DUNES… we can’t even consider your tracks for the BBC Introducing Mixtape next week because… you haven’t actually uploaded them to BBC Introducing.
Just sayin’.

TOTEM TERRORS – Beaux Esprits
SLYDIGS – Bang Bang (And The Bullet Was Gone)

I think I have a special sensibility to choose cheating bands. Next week I will look for the cover arts before voting and look to their eyes to see if they tell me something! The funny thing is when they come later and they “friend” me on Fb 🙂 ha!
