It's time for our 2021 Winter Music Showdown!

We're going to do 64 songs this time around. This should mean everyone will get 3, depending on how many people submit. PLEASE be sure to number your tracks in the order you prefer them in case we get more than 21 people and need to cut any. If I require fourth picks at all, I will ask for them; please do not give me a fourth until then (Note: if I receive unsolicited fourth tracks and need to later request fourth tracks, I will expect you to resubmit). I will very likely ask for fourth tracks, but I'd rather confirm turnout before allowing fourth tracks. We're going to stick with the same rules as usual.

Rules:

1. Up to THREE nominations per person. Rank your picks on the off chance we have to cut any so your preferred one gets to stay for sure. I will let you know if we need additional songs and it will be on a first come first serve basis. You can have less than three if you prefer.

2. The song must be available on Youtube (potential leeway on this if you can provide something that is linkable, legal, free to access and won't go down during the course of the contest).

3. Please PM me your nomination with a link to the song

4. I reserve the right to reject a song if I think it is too universally adored. We want personal choices and the contest is as much about hearing new music as opposed to determining the best. A good guide is the rule of only songs with no wikipedia page. Possible exceptions to this due to wikipedia's oddities. I will also reject any songs that have previously been used in the showdown.

5. No songs from the top fifty of NHC's most recent top 100 albums list. This will help prevent anything too popular here at NHC from being part of the showdown.

6. Keep your nomination a secret, it makes it more fun at the end!


If you would like to sign up, please indicate in this thread. I will need your nominations by about 4pm eastern time on January 17 (Sunday). Looking forward to hearing some new tunes!

Put me in as a Maybe, if there's no word from me in the next week, then unless if I am needed, then it's an out. If I am needed or if I do enter, then I'll send in a couple of songs.
 
I'm still waiting on submissions from about half of you. You can PM them to me here or on discord (although if your name isn't the same on discord, please say who you are, I can't remember which discord names go with every NHC name). Make sure you include links.

I'm going to go on Spotify later today and see if I can find any new songs I like.

(BTW I'm also Trab Pu Kcip on discord)

Alright, so we're just about out of time. [MENTION=86919]Trab Pu Kcip[/MENTION] [MENTION=56353]deadname[/MENTION] and [MENTION=69013]bias[/MENTION] are welcome to participate in voting but didn't get submissions in on time. This leaves us with 8 tracks to spare. I'll be taking one of the extras. [MENTION=62459]pilcrow[/MENTION] submitted 2, but is welcome to use this time to submit a third, but I will be opening up the floor for folks to submitting fourth tracks at the same time. As soon as I have those 7 extra tracks, we can get started this evening.

First come, first serve. The same rules apply otherwise.

Thank you for your prompt submissions. Anyone else who submitted didn't make it in time, but thanks for trying. The first round of the showdown will start shortly.
 
Dammit.

Oh well, I wasn't really sure if I would have been competitive. I only found 2 songs, and none were good.

One I could feel like posting here, but I won't.
