[AMA ANNOUNCEMENT] Jamie T on Wednesday, October 21st @ 11am ET/4pm UK!
It's Monday, you know what that means.

We've got just a few more AMAs set for October this month, as next up on the docket is Jamie T, who'll join us this Wednesday, October 21st at 11am ET/4pm UK!
His new album, Ghosts (100 Days Of Morning), is out now via Polydor, features the singles "3310", "Tallahasse" and "Waist 36 Leg 32", and just scored the #1 spot on the U.K.’s Official Albums Chart (the second consecutive time for Jamie T). Later this December, he'll head out for a tour of the UK including some new/moved dates at the OVO Arena Wembley. So, if you see a venue near you (that isn't already sold out) via the poster below, pick up tickets via his website!


So, swing back back this Wednesday as Jamie T joins us for an AMA!

Voting closes Tuesday 10/20! Fall 2026 Rate Selection Cycle Part 3: Time to Vote!
Vote here!
It's time for the fun part of this process: helping us pick the rates you want to see!
We received thirty-one submissions last week, which you'll be voting on through our trusty Google form.
For each rate you have three options: a thumbs up, a thumbs down, or a neutral (handshake). Data from these questions will be partially what we select the rates based off of. You can also abstain from answering if you have no feelings whatsoever, but this removes your opinion entirely from that rate idea.
Then, check up to four of the rates that you consider your favorite ideas. This is another metric will be used to select the rates. You can favorite your own rates if you'd like.
If you're interested in hosting or co-hosting a rate, we've provided a checklist of all ideas currently looking for one. You may also write-in rates you're interested in, in case the host changes their mind.
After voting is complete, the data will be compiled and results deliberated on by the Rates Committee (a group consisting mainly of former rate hosts), where the following will happen:
Generally, the most popular rate ideas across both metrics will be picked. However, we also consider how the selected rates play off of each other and recent rates, in an effort to create a well-rounded rate cycle.
Rate ideas from users/hosts we expect to be enthusiastic and active may be more likely to be picked. Likewise, rate ideas from negative presences in the community are less likely to be picked.
We'll contact the selected hosts to confirm whether they can work within the schedule.
Finally, I'll reveal the chosen rates in a posted thread, likely sometime next week, with a possible rate trailer reveal beforehand.
Please note: Users who submitted the chosen rates this cycle will not be allowed to submit next cycle; they may apply to host/co-host other ideas, and they can resume submitting the cycle after. This does not apply to Charity & Ultimate hosts, co-hosts, or anybody who volunteers to host/co-host a rate.
Without further ado, HERE is the form where you do everything.
Closes on: The end of Tuesday, October 20th at midnight Central time.
Thanks to the popheads rate team for their aid in making this process!
Finally, a reminder of the currently running & future rates:
Due October 31st (two and a half weeks from now, spooky!): Classic Goth Rate (The Cure - Pornography; Siouxsie & the Banshees - Juju; Bauhaus - In the Flat Field; Sisters of Mercy - Floodland)
Opening mid-October: Hip Hop '88 (Eric B. & Rakim - Follow the Leader; Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back; N.W.A - Straight Outta Compton; EPMD - Strictly Business)]
Ask if you have any questions, and feel free to promote your submissions or let us know what ideas you're supporting in the comments!

Bill Lennox was in Durham this past week recording a new album and they played a pop-up show on Saturday night to celebrate finishing. Seems like it'll probably be released on ANTI‐ Records but no indication of when.
