  1. My go to pick for “end credits of life” has always been The Simpsons theme lol

    My alternate to the one I chose is from a film score, but I decided to save it in case that’s a topic we ever do

    Later this week or next week I'll send a survey for season two letting people vote on a few things and submit theme ideas, I'll write up a big wordy post so no one misses it :)

    is it the same for you? Prestigious

    It would be cool if, at the end of the season, the site spit out playlists with all of the songs each person submitted.

    I don't want to break your heart, but I think we should probably start Season Two in January. The holidays are going to make it pretty hard for everyone to hit deadlines. I'll be out of town a lot starting next week :/

    I agree. Take a few weeks off and start in the new year!

    Alternate idea.... to please everyone. I can have Round 1 be holiday songs, but set the round to last from now until Dec 31. So basically just a really long round, at everyone's own pace so there is no stress, but it gives us some holiday music. Kinda like a prelude to the season??

    Thoughts?!?!!?!?

    Yep!

    Basically there's room for 5 more, unless anyone drops out, I'll post a join link in this thread when it's time to join. I'll give a heads up before I post it so people can make sure to get in.

    It'll be set at a 20 person max

    I'm going to set the league live tomorrow (Friday) around noon PST, first 20 people are in. I doubt it's going to be a race to get in, but just wanted to give a heads up to everyone.
