Not sure if I'm the one to put this together, or if someone else wants to step up (I'll happily defer, given that I won't get to it for a while), but I thought we should at least get nominations for a 2019 summer mix.
Same approach as usual - nominate 3 songs, at least 1 is guaranteed to make it, with heavy preference given to the first song you list. Or something like that.
Also, feel free to talk summer music more generally today, or drop you random 10's, or whatever you like.
It's the company's "Summer Outing" today, so how about another cut from the Summer Mix?

(4 votes, average: 8.50 out of 10)Loading... All right good and gentle folk of of the Nation, it is once again time to toss in your nominations for this year's Summer Mix. The rules remains the same:
1. The theme is "Summer". You're free to interpret that as you'd like.
2. Put your nominations in a Spoiler box.
3. You may nominate up to 3 songs. Any further nominations will be ignored.
4. Unless we get an insane amount of nominations for some reason, everyone's first choice is automatically in. The rest of the mix will be filled out with the other nominations.
After that, we'll throw everything in a pot and let it simmer for a few weeks then release it upon an unsuspecting public.

WGOM Summer Mix 2016
WGOM Summer Mix 2017
Mr. .Paak ended our mix last year, so fitting for him to start off the nominations this year.

(1 votes, average: 6.00 out of 10)Loading... Hey, everyone. I went back and re-edited the 2016 mix in this year's style (which I had originally planned last year but then got lazy). I like this year's mix, but I like last year's sliiiiightly more.
Anyway, grab a copy here if you'd like. Only 2 different quality levels, and it's not that big a difference anyway.
