Re: The 'Get a head start on moderate listening' thread

Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me and Scott 3 have appeared before. I believe Call The Doctor was in the first one but I don't remember whether it lost in the first round, so it may be eligible.

Henrik said this year's update would only be a songs update.

Re: The 'Get a head start on moderate listening' thread

Two of those were in BMA1 but lost in the first round, I believe all of those are eligible.

Though, there is a rule that the same person can't nominate two albums by the same artist, so you'll have to pick one Todd Rundgren album.

Re: The 'Get a head start on moderate listening' thread

It looks like the first round of foreign world cup is going to take 32 weeks, but it's only eight songs a week, so no need to wait for that to get this going.

Just please leave a big gap of time between bracket reveal and voting.

New timeline for Moderately Acclaimed 3:
Dec. 5th - Jan. 8th: Nomination process
Week of Jan. 9th: Bracket revealed
March 5th: First week of Moderately Acclaimed 3 begins

That leaves almost 2 months between reveal and voting. I'll get the particulars firmed up by this weekend.
