Several Topics Enter, One Topic Leaves: The Thunderdome Nomination Thread

Hey guys, when I did this I just thought I'd start a thunderdome on the 11th but it didn't occur to me that a month later some other people might be ready to try to host. Which is a reasonable thing I should have considered. Should I put my other thread on hold until it is clear other people do or do not want to host? I usually try to not unilaterally make decisions and that's kind of what I did, so let me hear what you have to say.

Ostensibly we do this for fun so I don't think it's a big deal. I feel like we can just go ahead with your dome for now and we can just return to the standard practice after the latest dome is over.

Considering the news recently lets go with Depressing Music.

This would be all genres of music. This would be not only songs that have a depressing topic but those that you listen to when you are yourself depressed.

Televisiondome

I did one back a while ago BUT that was just TV themes and hear just all things TV. Themes, back ground music, musical numbers... It can even include music that doesn't originate from TV but does have a version that appears on TV, like an SNL performance.

So far...

Crusingdome - Torzelbaum
Televisiondome - Johnny Unusual

Poll goes up Thursday night so if you want to host one get one in within the next couple days.

Nominations are open for the next dome. You have four days, meaning they close Wednesday morning.

I can't tell you how to live your life but I will say this... It's almost spooky season. I'm nominating Halloween Music Thunderdome for all things even spooky adjacent. Nominate what you want but frankly, I would love if my competition was similar; Castlevania Thunderdome, Horror Movie Music Thunderdome or in non-musical domes Halloween Treat Thunderdome.

Thunderdome nomination time! If you want to host a dome, submit your idea here within the next four days and then we'll vote on the one we want to see (or if only one person submits, they will be the automatic winner).

If we don't get one within the next four days, we'll wait a month and try again. It never hurts to take a break sometimes but I'm ALWAYS down for a dome, yo!

Question; how extended is this. Does this go to character spin-off games like Warioware and Luigi's Mansion?
Even bigger question; can this include Mario Music not from a game, say from a movie or a... TV show with Captain Lou Albano?

Games only (I should specify that) and the game has to have Mario in the title.

Hmm, I've had an idea for a dome, now the question is do I have time to run it. Eh, I could probably scrape it together.

Non-English Lyrics (aka PolyglotDome)

Based on a thing I did back when we were exchanging mix CDs years and years ago. Pretty self-explanatory. If a song uses multiple languages and one is English I'd say that's fine as long as it's at least around 50% non-English by volume.

That sounds like an interesting one. I'd have to resist the strong urge to make all my noms Bhangra songs though.

Mega Microdome$: you're allowed to submit one or two songs for each of the other nominated categories, and mini-tournaments are run for each, until the quarterfinalists from each category get all thrown into a new mixed bracket.
