Votes after the threshold is reached are not counted :P

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Oh no, MGMT's Electric Feel got knocked out... That was one of mine.

The rest of the ones I nominated that have appeared thus far are through - Foo Fighters, The Verve, and Depeche Mode!

Glad to see that some of the songs I had to cut to get it down to 10 nominations, got nominations elsewhere, and made it through their respective battles.

Nine of my songs haven't come up yet... and the one that did was disqualified :pac:

Electric Blue is an Arcade Fire song

Cheer up by sticking in 10 nominations for the 70s competition

Necro

Alright are there many around?

I can do maybe 8/12 more just give me 20 mins?

Or would you prefer me to wait till tomorrow

Now please. Still probably won't vote in most of them though.

Actually Electric Blue is an Icehouse song, you uncultured heathen... Arcade Fire... Pffft... Bunch a toerags so they are... Maybe... I dunno... I've not really listened to any Arcade Fire...

But I do appreciate the correction, its been a long day and I'm not quite with it...
