Whoops, something came up and I may not actually have time to do the nomination annoucement today, so we can go ahead and scrap the 5 pm deadline and do an honors system midnight deadline if Im not at a computer anytime before then (lll be at work anyway). Or if you get it in a little bit after then who cares the more the merrier.

Allright Im going to have to close the nomination submissions a bit earlier, around 5 pm today, since Im not going to have much time at all this week for a full-on presentation, so any last minute submissions get 'em in now boiiiii (and gal). In the brief scraps of free time I have I will put the finishing touches on the online voting system Im trying to set up, so that should be fully operational hopefully sometime by the end of the week so hopefully that will give people some time to catch up on listening to different nominees they haven't hard yet and the whole voting process 'ill be a breeze. Anyways nomination annoucement and general voting questions thread should be up around 5 30-6

Allright Im setting a hard deadline for March 12, 11:59 pm central time (early morning and afternoon March 13th for you europeans, asians and australians) to get nominations in, and then shortly thereafter will present the nominees. It's looking to be a good match, while songs seem a bit certain-artist heavy the album race is shaping up to be a doozy- seven of those won't surprise anybody, but the last three spots are turning into a dogfight. So if you haven't gotten your nominations in (*COUGH* denominatorcero) get them in by sunday night or else they're chicken feed.

Also what the hell let's hype up some songs, here are some very not-modest ditties
