My nomination for next week

Quilt, "Tie Up the Tides" from Held in Splendour. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WW_KDtsQg1o

I would like to nominate "Remurdered" - Mogwai.

Can I nominate Get Up by Young Fathers? http://open.spotify.com/track/67kxjQf1enA3U8GESAAOaV

18 tracks are available on Spotify.

Henrik, I could find another song ... Cloud Nothings - I'm Not Part Of Me.

Edit: Removed embedded Spotify playlist (can't delete this entire post anymore)

If you could add it to your list, then I will delete my post.

I must have mistyped it during my search, but I have added it now. Thanks Andre!

I would like to nominate Sun Kil Moon - Richard Ramirez Died Today of Natural Causes

This AMF chart is great! Just submitted my 5 votes.

And I'm finally discovering Spotify and I love it. So much that I marched right through to a premium membership.
(The commercials were somewhat getting irritating)

Until recently, Spotify was not available here in Germany. Now I know what I was missing ...

I'll nominate St. Vincent's "Birth in Reverse"

Beck has a new single out: I would like to nominate Blue Moon.

Let's vote more people! We won't let this nice new idea that is the AMF Chart die, right? It's a great way for knowing new songs!

I think it's a great idea, too, and am really enjoying it. To me, it's the perfect companion to Otisredding's Megacritic chart, allowing us a chance to give special attention to some of the best songs off the most acclaimed albums (as well as forum favorites). I likely never would've heard one of my favorite songs of this year, Burial Society's "Have a Nice Life" (yes, I'm one of the two people who keep voting for it!), without this game. I don't know if making the thread "stick" at the top of the page or (if it's even possible) bumping whenever somebody votes would help, but I certainly hope that the AMF chart is around for a long time!

guigs2910, I would recommend that we allow re-voting.

Last week I didn't vote for all 5 songs at once. If re-voting had not been allowed I wouldn't have been able to complete my vote. This week I voted for 5 songs at once, but still planned to listen again and maybe change my votes later during the week. This is not possible since the "Allow re-voting" box is not ticked.

I agree. I need revoting, please

I ticked the re-voting box, so it is possible to change the votes now. guigs2910, I hope you're ok with this.

At least 20 people have voted, and at least 5 votes is required to be in the top 10. That quite good!

Henrik, I am totally OK with this. I actually didn't even pay attention to that, don't know why i ticked it, but I think re-voting is essential. It could bring out even more emotion!

The thing is that you didn't tick the box. But no worries.

By the way, will you take next week as well, or should I do it? Or is someone else interested?

I can do it once again, no problems. I can set up the poll and you'll just have to do the spotify playlist.
