Okay, here we go (finally). Like last year, we're going to have to play a little catch-up, but we'll get there.
Out of the volunteers, Algonad, CarterHayes, Daneekas Ghost, MagUidhir, Rhubarb_Runner, Twayn, and Zack all make the cut as they did not DJ last year.
Out of the remaining, I am removing Zee German (sorry, bro) as he is the only of last year's DJs to have gone two years in a row. So, there are 6 volunteers left for four spots.
Per usual, handles will be placed in alphabetical order, and a random sequence of numbers will be generated and that order will be matched to the alphabetical list of names. Numbers 1-4 are in, and 5 and 6 will have to wait until next year:
A similar method* was used to decide the order, and here are you 2020 Guest DJs!
February 24 - March 21: MagUidhir
March 16-22: Zack
April 6-12: Algonad
April 20-26: Beau
May 11-17: nibbish
June 15-21: CarterHayes
July 13-19: davidwatts
August 10-16: Rhubarb_Runner
September 14-20: Twayn
October 12-18: Daneekas Ghost
November 16-22: Philosofer
December: Best of 2020
*The random sequence for the months was run continuously until Rhu_Ru got the August spot, per his request
Oh, and drop your lists.
Updated DJ history:
I've been bookmarking videos for about 6 months now so I had some to choose from.
Past years, I'm scrambling the night before. Now I've got the first five scheduled in about 10 minutes.
I'm guessing you want me to stop on the 1st (Sunday), and not the 2nd (Monday)
Sorry, must have been looking at February. Correct.
Clearly random.org has something against the letter P. 😉
And F.
Ha, whoops! Somehow I thought that Philo and I were the two who didn't get a spot.
You and I aren't allowed to go in the same year (after what happened in 2011 anyway).
The last eight years have had either free or DG, but never both.
Random.org knows all.
I will try to send reminders, but if anyone wants to check, they can find the schedule on the OUR FEATURES link in the toolbar under the logo.
Holy crap. This is the 10th year of Guest DJs...
I can't wait to introduce you all to this band I love: Wilco!
It'll be a brand new experience.
Oh man, look what I just signed up for.

I see how it is. From now on I'll play whatever it is my kids are saying is popular so I don't get so many funny looks...
Actually, I thought it was an all-hands-on-deck kind of thing. I need to pay attention to what's going on over here. I'm glad we have the participants to cover the spots.
no, we encourage everyone to volunteer each year, regardless of status. if there was one other person that had gone last year as well, you may well have made the cut.
