[KJS]

One of my favourite singles

I Want More - Can

[Val]

After KJS

I've gone for the kind of bouncy pop that makes me feel happy - and, yes, that noise you can hear is Lez rolling over. I love that the Allmusic review mentions "that appealing sort of supper-club tackiness" and "the lounge-lizard horns -- it's like you can actually hear the session musicians' polyester clothes", as you will note from the album cover pictured here.

I can ot listen to anything with a speaker in it ATM, so it,s tad tricky searching for a nom, since I can,t think of anything off the top of head. So, I,ll pass on this one, but got one for next week,s theme. 😎

[Val]

I'm going to post the playlist now because tomorrow I get to babysit my almost-three year old grand-daughter from 7.30am till 4.30pm. I usually put up the playlist mid-morning my time (early doors your time) but not sure if/when I'll get near the computer tomorrow.

Right now there's 9 nominations which would mean 3 votes each. But I'll happily add on any further nominations if they're posted before I get back here.

[Brass Neck]

I wonder if, for the future, there's any mileage in having up to 2 noms each for a bigger playlist & more votes?

I think I suggested that once, long ago....can,t remember what the response was then, but I,m guessing it was a no go, as it was never implemented! I would ,t object, but it would require all participants to find two noms to keep it fair (if folks care about such a thing), so what happens when some nominators can only find one?
