I forced a long song on you, so let me make some amends by nominating a great short song:

I have to say this week was particularly strong. I had difficulty voting, because many more than 10 were deserving. It is also a varied list in genre and style. If you want to get into this game, this is the moment! Especially as quite a lot of songs are vying for 10th place still.

I thought the same thing - superb playlist, longish but very solid.
I see the number of people that come here to vote each week and wonder why not more nominations? If you vote, why not just toss a song into the game? It could be anything - a tune that's been on your mind recently, a fave from your teen years, whatever you have on right now or maybe just the next song that comes up on your randomizer... more variety keeps it interesting!
