Amazon exiles discussion

Right, we've come to that time of the year where we look back at the best releases of the past 12 months. I hope you've all been doing your homework and have at least 5, but hopefully 10, tunes to put forward for our thumbs up or thumbs down.

I've allowed one week for nominations and another week for voting. It's a busy time of year but it would be great if we all make it to the table. So nominations in by midnight Sunday please.

The next five themes are:

Cream Of 2022 - Winter - Round 2 (finishes Sunday January 8)
Cream Of 2022 - Winter - Round 3 (finishes Sunday January 15)
Cream Of 2022 - Winter - Round 4 (finishes Sunday January 22)
Cream Of 2022 - Winter - Round 5 (finishes Sunday January 29)
Theme 366 - Sources of light (e.g. the sun, stars, torch, lamp, etc but must be a noun) in either the title or artist - Val

New ideas for themes can be added at:

a little explanatory note. the tracks on this album are only distinguished by a Roman numeral followed by a capital O, so it's 'five o'. no youtube link except for the entire album and track I O alone.

YouTube seems to have solved the Playlist problem - by moving everything to a different spot - but hey, ho, keeps me on my toes.

Here's the playlist:

I hope Jemma and Collette manage to pop by and vote - I may need them!

Thanks for the good wishes Foe. I would have sent you a Christmas card but I had a feeling you had moved during the year. BTW, the track by The Red Pinks And Purples puts me in mind of The Go-Betweens.

You're right Val I have moved, 2 roads away to be precise. I was a bit slack sending out cards this year so sorry for not sending you one. My memory is letting me down, forgot my sister's birthday which was on the 10th, and my late Dad's which was yesterday, he would have been 93. I'll have a drink for him tonight.
