Song of the Week - WEEK 64 Voting/WEEK 65 Nominating

Crash is in the queue (right below my name, actually). If someone isn't on the queue, just stick their name below any other new nominators in the appropriately named New Nominators section.

We've had DQ before, so this isn't a huge problem with me, especially since we haven't had anything from DQ5. Maybe DQ1 or DQ8 would be too popular.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

See the Chocobo's Happy Christmas precedent thread for more important discussion involving the results of the poll.

IT SUCKS ASS.

THE SUPER MARIO BROS. SUPER SHOW IS NOT A VIDEO GAME.

Splitting hairs, Seiken Densetsu != FF. I'd similarly argue that FF Legend 1-3 (SaGa) remixes would be okay since I don't think their soundtracks are particularly well known (just an example, since I'm not planning to nominate the only one I know that'd be eligible). I could be wrong, but that's my impression.

Besides:

Nothing from FF is automatically disqualified. Sure, as a practical matter, just about every original soundtrack would be gone, except maaaaaaybe FF2j, FF3j, FFTA, and FFCC.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe.

THAT SAID

Yes, yes we can. The vote closed on Friday, so it's been determined that we CAN factor in the source.

Besides, the Troian Beauty remix is better.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Aye, but Eric Allaman, Shuki Levy, and Haim Saban aren't video game composers.

And actually, since we've banned film and anime music in Nomination rule 4, we should probably ban TV music too.

And besides, it's true. Ask Larry.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
