Lament's point would hold up if the rule said "commercial release", but Stip has said "official release". A promo release is an official release.

I may be mistaken, but didn't Lament just come up with a good reason why he can't have it?

Yup. But also, in a way, really shitty.

I have my next picks all lined up-- they're all songs that were commercially released in 2005 but were originally hummed in the late 90s

My secret plan to win this involves dropping a 15 year old Mynabirds demo in round 10.

Game, set, match.

Yeah, I'm already upset about the artists I'm probably not going to be able to take.

I'm fine with this being the interpretation of what an "official release" is, but for the record we had a lengthy discussion about what constituted an official release in one of the other threads and it appeared to be agreed upon that it was the date of first commercial availability.

Someone suggested that, but there was no consensus. I checked before making the pick. Thanks for the free asterisk though Lament that was real classy of you pal *fist bump*
