God, for some reason I thought the deadline was more like 4th Jan (I know it's in the OP but I didn't go back and check), I *really* need to work on my remaining noms. Thanks for the reminder, oscar.

Lipa votesplit question: the Moodymann remix of "Break My Heart" has already been nominated - would I need to nominate the original separately?

(obviously don't 'need' to nominate it at all given that she's well-represented already but it's massively my favourite of hers)

TRACK

Peyton -- Things Can Only Get Better (Eric Kupper Remix)

(6/40)

iirc, specific versions that you’d like to vote for need to be nominated specifically, but the votes of all the versions will be combined for the rollout.

votes *for

Oh, hmm, I only heard this song this year but it looks like Peyton released this as a single in 2019, it didn't land, then the remix came out this summer and was big (which is why I heard it) so does it count as 2020 or 2019?

year of impact counts, so fine for 2020

Mutable Set was already nominated fyi

NOT NOMINATIONS

More new discoveries of great note from the nomination list, section C to D:

• Can't Hang - Suzanne (complex, full-bodied, spicy like a shiraz)
• Can You Do - The Aces (second song I fell for off this album in the past week; these guys deserve HAIM attention)
• Care - beabadoobee (i kinda hate her whole thing based on everything i've ever heard but this has a very Liz Phair vibe to it and afforded surprising access)
• Chaila - Denise Chaila (a fresh and enjoyable approach to the question of naming but i still wish she told me how to say hers!)
• Chambers Secrets - Julian Winding (orbital-esque, specifically "The Saint")
• Chicken with Waffles - Boof (woulda liked to have had this on deck over the summer but i imagine it will keep)
• Citations - Mildlife (i'll admit that I audibly groaned when the vocals started, but it was okay after all)
• The City - Jockstrap (hated this on my first two listens and then did a complete u-turn)
• Comme des Garcons - Rina Sawayama (never quite cracked this album but this is dope... indicative of the whole LP?)
• Concrete - Poppy (my gf stopped by and told me to turn this shit off and then it dropped into a different mode and she said 'well this part is okay' and then it switched back again and she just seemed confused)
• Confusion - Ellen Allien (you can put Madonna's Vogue over this, which is fun)
• Crash Pad - George Clanton and Nick Hexum (i had avoided this guy because of his terrible terrible name but this is a pleasant little trip down deep mood lane)
• Crazy - Kelly Rowland (damn, in full-on Beyonce voice huh)
• Dance II - Discovery Zone (don't mind me, I'm just gonna put on my reeboks and a pair of new jams and skip down this light-up sidewalk)
• Dawn Patol - Brothertiger (another one for the mellower days of that lost summer)
• Debbie Take Control of the Stereo - Helen Love (this is absolutely terrible, i love it)
• Decades - Wilma Archer (i keep wobbling about whether this is good or not which means it probably is)
• Dicked Down in Dallas - Trey Lewis (objectively terrible but I can't help but be impressed by which it says the quiet part loud; feels like I have THEY LIVE hearing aids in)
• Disco Man - Remi Wolf (this is ALSO absolutely terrible and i love it)
• Doves - Facta (burble, wurble, gurble, gerbil)
• Dreams of U and Me Above the Mezcal Moon - DJ Seinfeld (i had avoided this guy because of his terrible terrible name but this is a pleasant little trip into a patrick nagel painting)
• Drunk or Lonely - Maddie and Tae (i prefer Die from a Broken Heart, but this is solid)
• Dumelang - Malome Vector and Blaq Diamond (pretty sure I played once at one point in this year and then mislaid it stupidly, this is fire)
