FMD 09/14/2018: Halloween Mix Nominations

19 Comments

Hello, gals and ghouls.  We had the Holiday Mix last year, so this year why don't we do a Halloween Mix*?  The rules for submitting should be pretty similar to the Holiday Mix.

Here are the guidelines:

    • Place up to TWO songs in a 'Spoiler' box. Unlike the Summer Mix, the first choice does not automatically get in.
    • As with other mixes though, popularity reigns, so multiple nominations with increase the likelihood of selection.
    • Obviously there are plenty of different versions of the same song out there. If you want a particular performance, please note which artist you'd prefer (links wouldn't hurt just in case). If no artist is nominated, it will add weight if someone else did pick a specific performance of the same song.

So, drop your lists, nominations, and any music news below!

*We kind of did this in the past, but it was even more half baked than usual.  As promised, let's give it one more go.

September 12, 2018: Monthly Features

43 Comments

I'm going to repost this LTE from yesterday as we're still looking to fill a few spots. And perhaps some rebranding.

THE NATION HAS AN APPETITE*: What does everyone think about turning this into a monthly rotating author cooking post? It could be a recipe, or a style, or a particular piece of equipment or ingredient, whatever. I'm thinking second Monday of the month as we have an opening there. Any volunteers?

September (whenever): meat
October 8: brianS
November 12: Pepper
December 10:

(* Same name? Name change? Like "America's Half-Baked Kitchen" or something?)

FATHER KNOWS BEST: I'm thinking to move this to 4th Monday so it's evenly dispersed with the other features. Also need volunteers and probably a new name as well. I like the joke, but it just feels like it should be called something different, right?

September 24: Mike
October 22: Zack
November 26: zooom.x
December 24: (xmas theme?)
