Can UK TV shows count as well? I ask because the majority of the shows I watch anymore come from across the pond. A couple of them are also aired here, but one of them isn't.

I don't watch much TV anymore either. I download episodes of TV shows I like after they air and watch them via my computer. Sometimes the episodes are available online for free and I watch them that way. Either way, I seldom have the TV on anymore except for background noise, and then I put on News14 Carolina or The Weather Channel. I'd say about 85-90% of programming on nowadays, both network and cable, is complete crap.

Thanks for the heads up, Kenne.

I'm glad Kenne alerted me to this in the TT thread this week. Skyfall - Adele Drive By - Train The One That Got Away - Katy Perry

There have been more than a few weeks where, if I wasn't able to vote for my own choices, I wouldn't be able to vote at all, because there weren't 10 songs I like enough to vote for. I'm not saying that'll be the case this week, because all the nominations haven't come in, but in the future....I want to be able to vote for my own choices.

Phil, you don't need to upload anything. All you do is the following: [ url=videoaddressgoeshere]Song - Artist (year)[ /url] Just omit the spaces in the url tags.

I do see a few people who used to participate, still posting on the boards, so maybe Kenne or Brad could PM them and ask them to come back? If we limit nominations to one artist per TT (no 12 noms from the same band/singer), maybe Songfactors who felt marginalized otherwise might participate again.

I don't know about that. People are more likely to vote for older, more well-known songs vs. newer, lesser-known cuts, regardless if 10 people play or 100. That's why a Beatles song is almost a lock to make the TT and a song from Sigur Ros or Muse is not. I try to balance nominating older songs and newer songs because while I love the older stuff, I also want newer songs to get more representation. That's my $0.02 anyhow.

That should be the standard rule for the TT regardless of whether it's a special or not, IMO.
