Can we include tracks where we clean up the formatting? I think I read someone asking this somewhere but can’t find it. For example, backfilled transcription by pressburg, which has no “hook” “verse” structure?

@BasedGator @ZacharyMahabir 80/80 seems pretty unlikely at this point especially with the transaction clean up. I haven’t really see anyone even do 60/60. I’d advise either doing 60/80 next month or getting rid of this section completely…

Additionally, why are some songs on “Song Bio Slayers” and not on this list? That seems particularly odd, since many of the Song Bio Slayers songs also have terrible/nonexistent tates. I’m looking at “When I’m Gone” (Three Doors Down) right now.
