The 401st song has officially been added to the spreadsheets! And with this final elimination of the night, nominations are now closed.
===============
???: Rina Sawayama | Comme Des Garons (Like the Boys) (3:03)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uv5i5yg-zNc
Nominator: Bane_Of_Despair [13 songs remaining]
Initial Score: 57.92
Final Score: 57.97
(First Reaction:
"The idea that the socially acceptable version of confidence is in acting like the boys, otherwise as a woman you get called a bitch but in the club, we reclaim the word bitch as a sign of ultimate confidence (yes bitch, work bitch). I wanted to sit these two together and make a club fashion banger that makes you feeling like THAT bitch whoever you are."
Good message and a good beat. There aren't any lyrics that I want to highlight and the outro is a bit one note, but I kinda dig what the song's going for. I think i want this song to start at the high 50s and then I can see how it feels in comparison to other songs at that level. )
I'm not really into club bangers and I think this song isn't quite working for me as much as everything actually in the Nebula, but I also feel bad for eliminating it... bad enough that I'm going to delay this drop for another day and revisit it tomorrow. I'm... skeptical that I'd actually move it into the Nebula, but it's close enough that I want to give it one more chance before making the cut.
[Later: Yeah, I'm still feeling like this one is just a tiny bit before the next level. Good beat and good message, but I just never really get into any aspect of it enough to honestly say that I want to move this up again. Sorry, I at least gave it one more chance.]
===============
Now that we have a final number of songs, I'll go back and properly number everything just as soon as I'm confident that everything that's being eliminated before the 58 point Nebula has been cut.
EDIT: And I've gone ahead and deleted the Duckman write up; kept it up for... around 27 hours? I feel like that's enough time to leave that many personal confessions up on a public forum.

Currently deciding on a new sig because the current one is vastly out of date.
