If you've never worked in an office, Secret Santa is where you pick a co-worker's name out of a hat and buy a gift for that person. It can be good or bad, depending on how much you like fun. Similarly, once again Record Club will not be picking an album but rather the name of someone playing along. Whoever wins the poll gets to surprise the rest of us with the album of their choice. We've been doing monthly album nominations for over six years at this point, so you've probably got a pretty good idea if the Secret Santa you vote for is likely to pick Bruce Springsteen, or thrash metal, or electronica, or Neneh Cherry, or modern rock, or whatever. Then again, they might not! That's the surprise. For maximum secrecy, the results of the poll (which goes up next week) will be hidden until the end. If there's about to be a tie, I'll give a hint or something, otherwise it will be a coin flip. @bigdumbidiot won last year and gave us Daft Punk, "Discovery". This month you only nominate yourself for inclusion in the Secret Santa poll, not an album or artist. You can also nominate and tag one other TI person too, but that person needs to come to the thread and confirm that they are willing to participate. (Even if someone else nominates you first, you still only get to pick one TI-er besides yourself.)
To kick it off, besides myself I nominate moimoi (are you in?). |

Yep. I checked the shoutbox for un-nominated users, and Superb Owl 🦉 said he's heard of music, so I nominate him. |

I'm in and I'll dominate Jimmy James who I know from first-hand experience has heard music before. |
