For sure! And thank you! It was a great day. My 21st, in fact. It’s pretty insane that I share a birthday with one of my favorite musicians ever.

the Zeus album doesn't seem to be on NZ Google Music or Spotify - anyone know where I can listen?

This is beginning to be my answer for everything but VPN and change the country to UK? It looks like it's available on US Spotify as well if the British server's too slow.

Nope! I initially wanted it to be May 16th, but school and life got in the way so it'll most likely be in early June, with the final not too long after. Still recruiting jurors. Cool, hopefully that'll give plenty of time for more ballots here then :whistle: And happy belated birthday to you and th...

I didn't miss the deadline for the semi-final vote, did I?

On the off-chance that we'll get more than 1 ballot for the semis, will the cut-off for the final be the 16th i.e. when the Shine a Light show takes place?

Thanks mileswide, was only wondering on Thursday whether you were ok and still listening!

45. Herbie Hancock - Watermelon Man

As greater authorities on jazz than me will tell you, Watermelon Man is a re-recording of Hancock's first hit way back in 1962 and therefore isn't eligible. I'm just going to leave it here considering only the top 20 is counted towards the results.

I would be interested in seeing those albums below a six and adding them to the ratings, unless you really don't want to diss any albums.
