had no power for a week or so, so despite me being an icicle that's why i havent been 'round

[Fischman]

So I've not been paying attention much other than making an occasional entry into the Diaries forum, so I missed the nomination period.
No worries, I always get more out of hearing all the things y'all nominate that I might not have otherwise discovered. The occasional gem makes it all worth while.
I expect an especially enlightening year this yeas as my 2022 new music faves so fare are heavily skewed on the jazz side.

Allright got the first set of round 2 matches, will keep 'em up for a week since that's easiest for me as well as give people plenty of time to vote if they happen to be busy during the week, or something else, I donno. Have fun.

[cestuneblague]

Allright, y'all got one more day to listen & vote in each of the matches as they'll be closed tomorrow (I know Kokkinos likes to be a last-minute guy so mostly this is directed their way

[cestuneblague]

Allright new matches up along with last week's match that is still tied, will have a week to vote and then we'll move on to our bracket semi-finals (which likely will be shorter)

[cestuneblague]

Going to leave the matches up for another couple of hours, hopefully break some ties

[cestuneblague]

Have lost all track of days in the tail end of this New England winter. Almost closed the matches early, good thing I got distracted. Will give another half hour or so and then close.

[cestuneblague]

Allright that's it for round 2, now were in the thick of it as we hit round 3 and our sweet sixteen. Since I'm sure we're already pretty familiar with the songs I'm going to cut it to five days for voting, will post new matches on tuesday so people have weekend time to catch up on voting.
