While we wait for the stragglers, might as well look at options for the third mixtape, as we're more than halfway through March now.
Post your suggestions and I'll pollify them.
What? Pollify? Well it is now.
My own contribution: Songs whose title, or from an album or by an artist begins with Z!

^ That's gonna be easy-zee top. I've got my artist already ;)
May I suggest the category: "Well, that song surprised me." (Past tense, because it's a sad fact that a sense of surprise must inevitably wear out pretty quickly.)
Sure, I'll add it.
My choice may surprise you.
Or not.
OK guys, I don't understand the nuances but I'm here.
Topic? Songs about space...does that work?
Yep, it's simple enough. All the details are in the OP on the first thread, but basically we choose a theme and everyone submits one song via YT link on that theme. We all listen for about a week and then write our comments, rinse and repeat.
So space as in outer space or as in personal/living space, or both?
Outer space
I'm still keeping the animals theme alive
That's four then. I'll pop the poll up, and with the traditional "other" choice, anyone with other ideas can vote for them there.
What about "Struggle"? That's my vote for Mixtape 3.
Will add.
Ha ha! Now the poll reads: "Beginning in Z, songs. That surprised you? Outer space animals struggle, other." :laughing:
Okay, ladies, gentlemen and assorted beings, it looks like we have our theme, and it's

So let's get the songs in shall we? As usual, there's plenty of latitude allowed, so songs about (or by!) aliens, songs about spaceships, other planets, galaxies, you know the kind of thing.
PM me your choice of song if possible by Sunday, March 30 and I'll put the list together for Monday so we can start listening.
And remember

Come on guys, extract the digit and let's allow this enterprise to proceed along its established trajectory!
I've only got one submission so far, and it's Saturday.
I was considering widening the selection to up to three tracks each: not sure how anyone feels about that?
Anyway, one way or another, get your track(s) in before I have to

I don't want to do it, but you're forcing my hand! OW!
Just sent you two tracks, in the event we can submit more than one track.
If you finally decide on just one track per person, then feel free to knock one off.

We'll have less of the sexual innuendos here, thank you, and what I do in the privacy of my own bedroom is no business of yours! :laughing:
Thanks guys, just waiting for
@Guybrush and
@Lexi Darling and we're good to go!
Alright, sent in 🙂👍

As per usual, have a listen and try to get your thoughts down by next week, so we can move on to the next one before the new month is out. Remember, it's a short one.
@Trollheart minor correction but the artist and track title for my contribution are the wrong way around; "Stardancer" is the track title and The Martian is the artist. :)
I'll get to work on my reviews as soon as I can.
Oops! I wasn't certain, but it looked more likely the way I had it. Oh well, as that famous song by Fix You says, I'll "Coldplay" right away! :laughing:
