Well cats and kiddos, we're wrapping up another year of the sheep (or goat, depending on how your own year went). As such, we got some guest DJing that needs to be done:
First up, we need a new crop of DJs for weeks next year. Let us know below in the comments, and we'll follow our normal methodology.
Also, December will be for the BEST OF 2015. Everyone who wants one will get a day to showcase their favorite music of the past year. We'll throw everyone in a pool and fill out a calendar in a little bit here.
And finally, feel free (he likes it) to drop your lists below.
DEADLINE IS NEXT FRIDAY

You can put me in the DJ pool.
I'll do best of 2015 too.
Nickelback?!
Yikes.
I know. I'm not proud of that one.
Put me on both lists.
Me as well. I know I've had my shots at DJ, so I may be low on the totem pole. But maybe it's my turn again.
Put me down for guest DJ next year, please.
I'm not sure I've listened to much new music this year, but I suppose you can sign me up for that too and then I'll panic and come up with something at the last minute.
Toss me down for both lists as well. I actually listened to music released in 2015 this year!
I'll swing and miss at both lists, if you tee them up.
I... know one song released this year worth listening to? And it was played recently. So probably not that list. And I just finished my dj stint, so I have no business being on that list either. Call me next year.
I'll sign up for a December day. Probably no country though. Not been a great year
don't forget, if we don't get enough volunteers, everyone gets in. new blood is always good.
looking at you, newbies... 😕
(that is not a slight to any current volunteers, btw)
I would always take a spot on both lists. Don't think I did a week this year.
Both lists for me.
I'm definitely in for 2015 best-of.
I'll take a 2016 slot if there are any, but I've had a chance lately, so newbies can go first of course.
Nobody needs to feel guilty about putting their name in. The system is built so those that haven't had the chance (at all, then lately) get to go first.
In that case, I'll put my name in, and hope the system rightly boots me out.
Heh, we don't even have 11 volunteers yet.
Hey HJ, I have three email addressed for you. Which one is best:

I'll take another DJ turn, so to speak.
Throw me in for both lists.

/clears throat/ "AHEM"
If there is still a need, I will play. Both, I guess.
(Got some rad Nickelback stuff that free will dig.) 😉
Oh, snap!
One wayward Nickelback song and a man's reputation is ruined. Forever. Let that be a lesson to you kids out there. Me? It's too late.
Well, might as well take the Daughtry stuff out of hiding then while you're at it. 😛
What the heck. I'm in for a guest DJ gig in 2016.
Yeah, I'll do both.
Given I havent listened to a whole lot of new music this year and the stuff I liked was mostly popular stuff, I'll throw my hat in for a 2016 week
Okay, so, another easy year for pickin'. We had 18 volunteers, and 8 of them had a turn in 2015. So, that means that the other 10 are automatically in:
CarterHayes
davidwatts
Can of Corn
freealonzo
New Britain Bo
nibbish
spookymilk
AMR
DK
Rhubarb_Runner
With one spot left, that means one lucky DJ gets to go back to back. That is based off of previous DJ stints, and only one volunteer has had zero weeks before this year, so completing the list will be...

And now, for the schedule. I only received one specific request, and I'm just going to go ahead and assume Rhu_Ru wants August, so, with the help of random.org, your 2016 Guest DJs:
This information will be available in the features page, so you can check there if you forget when you're up. I try to give reminders, but I wouldn't 100% depend on it. Also, don't know if this will work, but here's the history in case anyone is curious:
I'm working on a nice every-other year thing.
Actually, that seems to be pretty common.
The rules encourage if not force that to be the case for most.
Heh, I was really hoping this was in response to Mags.
Pretty sure that I've had more than one August in the past.
Man, I guess I'm going to have to hang around this place for another 11 months now. Oh well, I guess I can try to make the best of it.
It's like a ponzi scheme or the Mafia. You can't just up and leave that easily.
Also, for the Best of 201
65 posts, we'll start next Monday (skipping Xmas eve and day). The rules are to play something new from 20165. Could be what you feel is best, what's your favorite, or maybe something cool that others may have missed. Dates were assigned randomly via that other .org as well. As such, someone may play your idea before you get a chance. If so... welp, better find something else 😉Again, I'll try to send reminders, but I wouldn't necessarily depend on it. Everyone is free to start setting up their posts whenever they'd like. Just make sure you set it for the right day.
Any questions, feel free to ask!
Can I play a song from 2015 instead?
...
Truthfully, I'd be more impressed if you did play something from 2016.
Do you have a special tag or anything we should bother adding to these?
Good call. Let's go with "Best of 2015".
