Um. It's another track like Perfect Heaven Space in that it depends on how or where you got TBWNN from. I think it'll go in the b-side showdown... although is it then hypocritical to keep Perfect Heaven Space in? :P
Maybe we should just say all tracks that were on UK released (physical) albums and be done with it. No Sarah. No Say Hello. But yes to PHS cos it was on the UK disk. Shall we keep The Distance... is a compilation album an abum nonetheless? :P
Definitely keep The Distance, it deserves to get a chance and I can't see how it would be a b-side. For inclusion in my opinion all album tracks plus:
Blue Flashing Light
Some Sad Song
Coming Around
The Distance
Walking In The Sun
Sailing Away
Perfect Heaven Space
...and maybe Say Hello
I did a showdown on another board with only thirty songs and it took ages to count then and this board's much busier too. Luke, if you ever want help counting, I'm happy to help, you do a great job! :) |

I expect dramatic eye close ups.
Luke, good job making a decision. This is your game. People can voice their opinion with their votes. |

I expect a poster that has Luke's face photoshopped in place of pointing Uncle Sam's that says "The Song Showdown Needs YOU!" (Where is Juli? lol)

Stupid question, but how does the voting system work?
Can anyone vote?
How many must vote on every "song-match"?
etc. etc. |

Yes anyone can vote - each round usually lasts about 3 days and I count up all the votes at the round's deadline. In a normal round (the first round will be different), songs are randomly paired up, and it's up to the boardies to pick the winner of each pair - the song they like best out of the two. You'll get the gist of it anyway, I'll explain what you have to do in each round. :) |

Ooh, I just read the whole thread, I'm all excited now :)
Do Showdowns happen often? I haven't noticed one before.
Oh, and well done for being able to organise it all! |

| Sometimes Luke is tricky and asks you to pick the song you like the LEAST and sometimes the song you like the MOST. You have to read his instructions carefully. |

There have been lots of showdowns, I'm calling this number 4 but I don't know how accurate that is. There have also been specials including a 'World Cup' and an 'Olympics' edition (must've been the 2004 Olympics). The first one was probably a good 5 years ago. The more recent one was a B-side Showdown and was a bit less than a year ago.  |

I'm kinda new too..so how does this showdown work?
I know what it is..but how will it work -do you load the poll up on a server or in a chatroom or here on the messageboard?...and the songs are in pairs -right? so you'll be voting one out and one in to the next round, right?...
and..last one - then I'm quiet again - can you vote all day long? midnight- to -midnight?...should be fun!
sorry ;) don't want to annoy you - just don't wanna miss it...
