Unfortunately, as the list membership changed, so did the direction of conversation. This lead to a lack of discussion about the SOTW and eventually to its end. Contained in this file are the SOTW nominations from 1996 through 2002. With the revamp of my site interest in the SOTW seems to have rekindled - nominate a track and talk about it on the Frozen Fire e-mail list. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The SOTW Rules were: The first person to choose a new song not already reviewed (Cars or Cars Solo) and post it to the Frozen Fire mail list after noon P.S.T. on each Sunday has picked the Song of the Week for the following week (until noon P.S.T. on the following Sunday). Anyone on the list is welcome/encouraged to write about the song during that week. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- *** SONG OF THE WEEK - ROUND 3 *** After over a year without a SOTW, the Frozen Fire mailing list decided to restart discussions on selections from the entire Cars and Solo works catalogs starting October 27, 2003. 1. 10-27-03 Just What I Needed - jee7 2. 11-02-03 Touch And Go 11-09-03 No SOTW :-( 11-16-03 No SOTW :-( 11-23-03 No SOTW :-( 11-30-03 No SOTW :-( 12-07-03 No SOTW :-( 12-14-03 Wake Me Up - Tanika McLennan -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- *** SONG OF THE WEEK - ROUND 2 *** The Frozen Fire mailing list decided to restart selections from the entire Cars and Solo works catalogs starting May 2, 1999. 03-16-02 Up And Down - Lori Mikula 03-09-02 No SOTW :-( 03-02-02 No SOTW :-( 02-24-02 No SOTW :-( 02-17-02 No SOTW :-( 02-10-02 No SOTW :-( 02-03-02 No SOTW :-( 01-27-02 No SOTW :-( 01-20-02 No SOTW :-( 01-13-02 No SOTW :-( 01-06-02 No SOTW :-( 12-29-01 No New Year's SOTW :-( 12-22-01 No X-Mas SOTW :-( 12-15-01 No SOTW :-( 12-08-01 No SOTW :-( 12-01-01 No SOTW :-( 11-24-01 No SOTW :-( 11-17-01 No SOTW :-( 11-10-01 No SOTW :-( 96. 11-03-01 Running to you - Pat Mullen 95. 10-27-01 Ta Ta Wayo Wayo - Lori Mikula 10-20-01 No SOTW :-( 10-13-01 No SOTW :-( 10-06-01 No SOTW :-( 09-29-01 No SOTW :-( 94. 09-22-01 People We Know (Ocasek) - Jools 93. 09-15-01 The Lace (Orr) - Christy Ratcliff 09-08-01 No SOTW :-( 92. 09-01-01 I Can't Wait - Pat Mullen 08-25-01 No SOTW :-( 08-18-01 No SOTW :-( 08-11-01 No SOTW :-( 08-04-01 No SOTW :-( 91. 07-28-01 That's It - Mark 90. 07-21-01 Wound Up On You 89. 07-14-01 Jimmy Jimmy (Ocasek) - Mark 88. 07-07-01 She's On (Ocasek) - Mark 87. 06-30-01 Hold On (Orr) - Candy Hall 86. 06-23-01 Take What You Want (Demo) - Pat Mullen 85. 06-16-01 Cruiser - Candy Hall 84. 06-09-01 Take Me Now - Steve Lah 83. 06-02-01 Breakaway - Eddie 82. 05-27-01 Gimme Some Slack - Steve Lah 81. 05-20-01 Heartbeat City - Casey Tyoe 80. 05-13-01 You Might Think - Casey Tyoe 79. 05-06-01 Emotion In Motion (Ocasek) - Casey Tyoe 78. 04-29-01 I'm not the one - Steve Lah 77. 04-22-01 Double Trouble - Lori Mikula 04-15-01 No SOTW :-( 04-08-01 No SOTW :-( 76. 04-01-01 Mystery (Ocasek) - Thomas Carfagno 03-24-01 No SOTW :-( 03-17-01 No SOTW :-( 75. 03-10-01 Touch Down Easy (Ocasek) - Pat Mullen 74. 03-03-01 Send Me (The Black featuring Ben Orr) - Donna Kellet 73. 02-24-01 Let's Go - Leslie 72. 02-17-01 Lust for Kicks - Pat Mullen 71. 02-10-01 Double Life - Adam Ebbeka 02-03-01 No SOTW :-( 01-27-01 No SOTW :-( 01-20-01 No SOTW :-( 70. 01-13-01 Hotel Queenie/When Did You Change?
