A one poll stand down after your album is selected? Or is that discouraging.

I must be being dense right now; what is meant by a "one poll stand down after your album is selected"?

It's probably a bad idea. I just meant that people who get selected one week take a week off from nominating, so they aren't on the poll next week. Would mean the same five people don't get picked week after week.

I'm fine with a coin flip, even if it goes against my submission. The thing will still be there next time.

A question - what to do with the submissions that aren't in the top 5? Just roll them over to the next poll? Does that mean people who are successful get to nominate another, the others don't?

And voting for 6.

EDIT: no, I just can't do counting apparently

I'm going to take it personally!

Ariana Grande doesn't take a week to digest, Golden.

You wouldn't....

Not differential calculus? Are you sure?

I wouldn't want to go much shorter than a week. Music does take time to digest, I'd want to listen to it, let it sit, listen to it again.

I like prog.

I would do a non prog nomination and then I would be voted down but most of my music listening takes place in a different space.

Oh well, why not.
