Looks like the three reserves are probably gonna get to play .... I very much doubt they will actually vote though
Still roughly another 20 hours left if anyone else wants to join in.

Just switched one of mine to something a little more fun. A good time to mention that anyone can switch any of their songs if they so wish right up until we start.

I'll play. I just need a lil bit of time to get links up

No problem, there's a good 16 hours or so before I intend to get this underway.

Cat's on her phone (which makes doing links difficult) so has asked me to switch out two of her noms for tracks by Aim and 16 Horsepower, just stating that here so it doesn't look like I'm unilaterally changing them

I'm in. Will post my songs once I'm back on my PC.

Kewl, I'll pick 'em up in the morning as I'm just off to bed now.

How does this work? I'll choose eight songs to post, but I haven't done one of these before.

Hi there Mija,

Basically when all the nominations are in and we're ready to start I'll use random.org to decide which songs go up against each other (does mean two songs from the same person can be matched against each other but it also means it's completely unbiased) and we all get to vote on which ones we prefer. The songs that garner the most votes in each match-up go through to the next round where random.org will again decide how they get matched up and we do it all again. Eventually we end up with a winner and a runner-up.

I usually do 8 matches per day (16 songs in total) so it's not too demanding in terms of time.

I'm literally about to log out and shut down so if you don't know how to make the external links feel free to just imbed the eight YouTube videos here and I'll do them for you in the morning.
