 
 (|-> {[BLaHCoMPo #1] * [the voteform]} <-|)

 brief explanation
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Yes, it's another one of these infernal timed tracking compos with premade 
 sample sets. ;>  BlahCompo #1 was organized by Luv Kohli and I.  The reason 
 for holding this compo was simple.  Since 20mc is bi-weekly now, many people
 on #trax wanted some sort of compo to enter (after all, what better way is 
 there to spend a Friday night than frantically tracking to an unreasonable 
 deadline...? ;>).  LuvK and I decided that we would take the initiative. ;>

 So, BlahCompo was born.  1 hour, premade sample pack (a really bad one too), 
 1 external sample, 16 channels max, 150k tune size max.  We got a nice 
 amount of contestants.  Unfortunately, many did not report back with their 
 tunes. ;(  But the votepack is out anyway......  If you're not included, 
 sorry...  

 Will there be another BlahCompo?  Who knows...!  If you actually enjoyed
 this one, let me know, and maybe this can become a bi-weekly event to 
 alternate w/ 20mc...

   (note, you are to _rate_ the tunes, not _rank_ them -- you _may_ give the
    same rating to more than one tune)
 * you must vote if you entered, or your tune will be dq'ed
 * don't vote for your own tune, or your tune will be dq'ed
 * nonentrants are free to vote as well, if they'd like. ;>

 blahcompo survey ;>               
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 1) should we hold a blahcompo every other week to alternate with 20mc?
 2) if so, should any changes be made in the rules, or did you enjoy as is?
