Looks like the three reserves are probably gonna get to play .... I very much doubt they will actually vote though ;)
Still roughly another 20 hours left if anyone else wants to join in.

[Chypmunk]

Just switched one of mine to something a little more fun. A good time to mention that anyone can switch any of their songs if they so wish right up until we start.

[jiraffejustin]

I'll play. I just need a lil bit of time to get links up

No problem, there's a good 16 hours or so before I intend to get this underway.

[Chypmunk]

Cat's on her phone (which makes doing links difficult) so has asked me to switch out two of her noms for tracks by Aim and 16 Horsepower, just stating that here so it doesn't look like I'm unilaterally changing them :D

[pahaK]

I'm in. Will post my songs once I'm back on my PC.

[Chypmunk]

Kewl, I'll pick 'em up in the morning as I'm just off to bed now.

[MijaFrost]

How does this work? I'll choose eight songs to post, but I haven't done one of these before.

Hi there Mija,

Basically when all the nominations are in and we're ready to start I'll use random.org to decide which songs go up against each other (does mean two songs from the same person can be matched against each other but it also means it's completely unbiased) and we all get to vote on which ones we prefer. The songs that garner the most votes in each match-up go through to the next round where random.org will again decide how they get matched up and we do it all again. Eventually we end up with a winner and a runner-up.

I usually do 8 matches per day (16 songs in total) so it's not too demanding in terms of time.

I'm literally about to log out and shut down so if you don't know how to make the external links feel free to just imbed the eight YouTube videos here and I'll do them for you in the morning.

[cat_sidhe]

Might swap out one more....

[cat_sidhe]

ROUND 1 - DAY 1

Jun Miyake - Lillies Of The Valley vs The Ruts - Babylon's Burning
Omg, really tough choice. I like both songs! I'm weird with punk. A lot of it doesn't land all that well with me but this was an instantaneous like, hard to do with punk for me. But there's something a bit off about that Jun Miyake track that interests me. It's a bit creepy in a cool way. I'd listen to both artists again after the tournament. :)

Filthy Boy - Waiting On The Doorstep vs Angaleena Presley - Ain't No Man
Again, really hard vote! Both are new to me and I liked them both. Had to flip a coin because I couldn't choose.

Disclosure - Help Me Lose My Mind (Mazde Remix) vs Penetration - Life's A Gamble

Cellar Darling - The Hermit vs Chris Mills - Signal/Noise

Grace Jones - Pull Up To The Bumper vs Lana Del Rey - Bel Air
Grace ****ing Jones! <3

The Celibate Rifles - Killing Time vs Black Widow - Way to Power
Love Black Widow.

Loudness - Soul on Fire vs The Fall - Free Range
Also love The Fall!

Basia - Painters And Dockers vs L'Arc~en~Ciel - White Feathers

[Chypmunk]

ROUND 1 - DAY 1

Jun Miyake - Lillies Of The Valley vs The Ruts - Babylon's Burning
Youth (specifically mine) wins out for the WAYLTWYAM thread robot over my own nom

Filthy Boy - Waiting On The Doorstep vs Angaleena Presley - Ain't No Man
Nothing against Angaleena's track but I've always been a filthy boy at heart

Disclosure - Help Me Lose My Mind (Mazde Remix) vs Penetration - Life's A Gamble
Second is just closer to my taste

Cellar Darling - The Hermit vs Chris Mills - Signal/Noise
Favourite Chris Mills track

Grace Jones - Pull Up To The Bumper vs Lana Del Rey - Bel Air
Could've voted either way

The Celibate Rifles - Killing Time vs Black Widow - Way to Power
Tough choice, like both

Loudness - Soul on Fire vs The Fall - Free Range
Again, like both but I grew up with 'Mark E' Mark

Basia - Painters And Dockers vs L'Arc~en~Ciel - White Feathers
First is just closer to my taste

[Chypmunk]

MijaFrost , pahaK , jiraffejustin , resopamenic
Just a mention to let you know we've started.

[jiraffejustin]

ROUND 1 - DAY 1

Jun Miyake - Lillies Of The Valley vs The Ruts - Babylon's Burning - First track was decent and I like the piano, but it just wasn't weird enough for me to enjoy it for 7 minutes. The other wins because it is concise and fun.

Filthy Boy - Waiting On The Doorstep vs Angaleena Presley - Ain't No Man - It's gonna take a lot for a song I've never heard before to beat one of my nominations for me, and it didn't happen here.

Disclosure - Help Me Lose My Mind (Mazde Remix) vs Penetration - Life's A Gamble - Was leaning towards Disclosure until the first drop. I'm interested in listening to a non-remixed version. I don't know that I've ever heard of the second band, but I dug it.

Cellar Darling - The Hermit vs Chris Mills - Signal/Noise - Not a fan of the first track. Second track wasn't too bad, I guess.

Grace Jones - Pull Up To The Bumper vs Lana Del Rey - Bel Air - I am familiar with Grace Jones, insomuch as I know what she looks like and what she did, but I've never really listened to her music. I'm vibing with it. Lana Del Rey is still Lana Del Bae tho.

The Celibate Rifles - Killing Time vs Black Widow - Way to Power - Toughest match thus far. I am digging both a good bit. I'll feel bad if Widow wins by a single vote, I'll feel like the culprit that killed The Celibate Rifles.

Loudness - Soul on Fire vs The Fall - Free Range - Other than voting for my own nom, this was the easiest choice. I need to explore The Fall further, but I don't really love this song. The other song just very much fit my taste.

Basia - Painters And Dockers vs L'Arc~en~Ciel - White Feathers

[resopamenic]

R1D1

The Ruts - Babylon's Burning

Filthy Boy - Waiting On The Doorstep

Penetration - Life's A Gamble

Cellar Darling - The Hermit

Grace Jones - Pull Up To The bumper

The Celibate Rifles - Killing Time - nice matchup

Loudness - Soul on Fire
at least a vote for loudness, im sorry Mark!

L'Arc~en~Ciel - White Feathers
Basia is nice but my personal pick kinda mine magnum opus

[MijaFrost]

Round 1 - Day 1 choices:

Jun Miyake - Lilies of the Valley (Weird and lovely.)

Filthy Boy - Waiting on the Doorstep

Disclosure - Help Me Lose My Mind (Mazde Remix)

Cellar Darling - The Hermit

Lana Del Rey - Bel Air

Black Widow - Way to Power (Both are great, I wanted to vote Celibate Rifles but I liked this one a little bit more.)

The Fall - Free Range (This was a very nice discovery for me! Never heard of them before, and now I'm checking out more of their stuff.)

L'Arc~en~Ciel - White Feathers (I knew of this band, of course. Beautiful vocals.)

[mojofilter]

I'm back from my vacation in Cancun, Mexico!

Too late to join?


EDIT: Nevermind. I just realized what the theme was. I can't think of 8 good songs that are 10+ minutes in duration.


I'll sit this one out.

No, they're supposed to be 'less than 10 minutes' in length.

[pahaK]

ROUND 1 - DAY 1

Jun Miyake - Lillies Of The Valley vs The Ruts - Babylon's Burning
Not a huge fan of old school punk but the first one was just so dull.

Filthy Boy - Waiting On The Doorstep vs Angaleena Presley - Ain't No Man
Didn't really like either.

Disclosure - Help Me Lose My Mind (Mazde Remix) vs Penetration - Life's A Gamble
Penetration sounded pretty damn good but it probably helped that the other one was terrible.

Cellar Darling - The Hermit vs Chris Mills - Signal/Noise
Cellar Darling's debut was one my favorite albums last year. Chris Mills doesn't sound terrible but has no chance.

Grace Jones - Pull Up To The Bumper vs Lana Del Rey - Bel Air
Neither is bad but neither is really good either. Bel Air is missing something because I feel like it should have been better.

The Celibate Rifles - Killing Time vs Black Widow - Way to Power
More punk, I see, but this time they're up against something much better and it's easy win for the occultists.

Loudness - Soul on Fire vs The Fall - Free Range
Loudness sounds like even they're bored but it's still better than the other monotonous intro that never developed into a song.

Basia - Painters And Dockers vs L'Arc~en~Ciel - White Feathers
Hated Basia. The other was OK but little bit too long.

[pahaK]

No, they're supposed to be 'less than 10 minutes' in length.

Yes. On the other hand 10+ minutes tournament could be fun too :D

[Chypmunk]

pahaK Finnishes (groan, sorry - couldn't resist just the one time) R1D1 for us and I need to find someone to tie-break half the matches :D

ROUND 1 - DAY 2

Aim - Demonique vs Slayer - Piece By Piece
I'm pretty sure Michael Myers would have preferred Slayer too.

Virgin Black - Museum of Iscariot vs Jason Lytle - Dept. Of Disappearance
Tried to write something witty here but lets just say that Virgin Black is better of the two.

Dotstokyo - Satellite vs Beverly Jo Scott - Magalie
Neither is really good but the first is more kawai :D

Cody Jinks - Whiskey Bent & Hell Bound vs Die Antwoord - I Don't Care
Didn't like either again but give me some whiskey.

Euzen - The Great Escape vs Ghost - Life Eternal
Uh, hardest pair this far on this tournament. Pretty decent Björk wannabe and average Ghost song. Very, very tightly Euzen 'cause I haven't heard of her before.

The Posies - My Big Mouth vs Máté Péter - Elmegyek
Another tough one but I'll give tiny edge to the Hungarian with fashionable glasses.

Porcupine Tree - Circle of Manias vs Elaine Paige & Andrew Lloyd-Webber - Memory
I like some Porcupine Tree but this two minute instrumental has no chance against an iconic musical piece.

The Sidh - I'm just a Sidh in Ireland vs Dead Meadow - Lady
Tough one again but now they're both really mediocre. If the first had (good) vocals it would win easily but I think I'll give it to them even now.

[Chypmunk]

ROUND 1 - DAY 2

Aim - Demonique vs Slayer - Piece By Piece
Easy enough choice for me, second was at least short

Virgin Black - Museum of Iscariot vs Jason Lytle - Dept. Of Disappearance
Another easy choice for me, don't like the vocals on the first at all

Dotstokyo - Satellite vs Beverly Jo Scott - Magalie
First was ok but can't compare to BJS

Cody Jinks - Whiskey Bent & Hell Bound vs Die Antwoord - I Don't Care
Quite enjoyed the second but I'm more attuned to country than dance

Euzen - The Great Escape vs Ghost - Life Eternal
Second was ok but was never gonna get a vote over my own nom

The Posies - My Big Mouth vs Máté Péter - Elmegyek
Máté Péter is new to me, nice voice and quite enjoyable - first isn't bad either so pretty close choice

Porcupine Tree - Circle of Manias vs Elaine Paige & Andrew Lloyd-Webber - Memory
Another easy choice, I've lots of better ways to depress myself than listen to 'Memory'

The Sidh - I'm just a Sidh in Ireland vs Dead Meadow - Lady
Fusion with a Gaelic slant - count me in

[cat_sidhe]

ROUND 1 - DAY 2

Aim - Demonique vs Slayer - Piece By Piece
Cracking Slayer song from a great album, but sometimes I get a little obsessed with the album from which this tune comes - usually a sumer thing for me. :lol: This track manages to be dramatic, sinister and chilled out simultaneously.

Virgin Black - Museum of Iscariot vs Jason Lytle - Dept. Of Disappearance
Hated the first song. Jason Lytle I found interesting.

Dotstokyo - Satellite vs Beverly Jo Scott - Magalie
The first wasn't bad, but the second appealed to me more.

Cody Jinks - Whiskey Bent & Hell Bound vs Die Antwoord - I Don't Care
Ok this was hard. There are things l like and dislike about both songs. The Cody Jinks is too straight up country for me, and I struggle with that genre. I don't know how to describe the kind of country I mean. But the vocals are decent and it's pleasant enough. Die Antwoord, I feel, ruined what promised to be a very interesting song by going rave. Damn, hate voting against Die Antwoord because it's not as if I don't like them. I do.

Euzen - The Great Escape vs Ghost - Life Eternal
Oh, a nice surprise! I'll vote against my own nom for it. Out of album context it doesn't really have the same emotional impact.

The Posies - My Big Mouth vs Máté Péter - Elmegyek
Wasn't crazy about either song, but the first got my foot tapping a bit.

Porcupine Tree - Circle of Manias vs Elaine Paige & Andrew Lloyd-Webber - Memory
Easy vote. Porcupine Tree serving me a gentle slice of instrumental djent vs super sappy Andrew Lloyd-Webber? PT every day.

The Sidh - I'm just a Sidh in Ireland vs Dead Meadow - Lady
OH BOY tough one. I have sidhe in my username, so I feel a bit of solidarity here. Also, I pretty much adore Ireland, so I'm feeling the pressure to vote against my own Washington DC based stoner rock band who use Orange amps (I have a thing for those amplifiers) and are sweethearts and I collect their stuff and ahsjdkhasjkdhajksdhajkdh, sorry, can't vote against Dead Meadow!!! Granted, it's not the best song to introduce anyone to the band with, but it was the one in my head at nom time. :lol:

[jiraffejustin]

ROUND 1 - DAY 2

Aim - Demonique vs Slayer - Piece By Piece - First is good, but I'll take my nom.

Virgin Black - Museum of Iscariot vs Jason Lytle - Dept. Of Disappearance - Lytle kinda wins by default.

Dotstokyo - Satellite vs Beverly Jo Scott - Magalie - Neither are songs I'll be going back to, but neither are bad either.

Cody Jinks - Whiskey Bent & Hell Bound vs Die Antwoord - I Don't Care

Euzen - The Great Escape vs Ghost - Life Eternal - Neither are really very good or very bad. This round has been pretty much right down the middle so far.

The Posies - My Big Mouth vs Máté Péter - Elmegyek - The Posies song would have been better if it cut off about 30 seconds. It was fun at first but it wasn't good enough to maintain two-and-a-half minutes. The other dude looks like the type of person that f*cks people without permission, but I am strangely entranced by him.

Porcupine Tree - Circle of Manias vs Elaine Paige & Andrew Lloyd-Webber - Memory - Easy peasy

The Sidh - I'm just a Sidh in Ireland vs Dead Meadow - Lady - LMFAO's career took a weird turn with this one. I'll take the stoners over the boners.


btw pahaK I am impressed by your seemingly positive attitude considering you don't like anything.

Virgin Black - Museum of Iscariot *vs* Jason Lytle - Dept. Of Disappearance

Dotstokyo - Satellite *vs* Beverly Jo Scott - Magalie

Cody Jinks - Whiskey Bent & Hell Bound *vs* Die Antwoord - I Don't Care
Not really a country fan, so I'll choose my own nom.

Euzen - The Great Escape *vs* Ghost - Life Eternal
This was a standout for me. She has a pretty voice, and I liked the steampunk-style video. Will be checking out more of her repetoire.

The Posies - My Big Mouth *vs* Máté Péter - Elmegyek

Porcupine Tree - Circle of Manias *vs* Elaine Paige & Andrew Lloyd-Webber - Memory
"Memory" is one of my favorite songs, and this one was a nice performance.

The Sidh - I'm just a Sidh in Ireland *vs* Dead Meadow - Lady

[resopamenic]

R1D2

Slayer - Piece By Piece
More mine type of sound ofc

Virgin Black - Museum of Iscariot
The second just didnt left any impression on me

Dotstokyo - Satellite
Magalie was nice, sweet song but obviously my pick is too superior in my Ears-pective

Cody Jinks - Whiskey Bent & Hell Bound
Hmmm...

Euzen - The Great Escape
More likely

Máté Péter - Elmegyek

Porcupine Tree - Circle of Manias
Not even and avid porcupine tree but it am easy choice

Dead Meadow - Lady
The best track im this round hands down

Penultimate day of this initial round available now ... and it's notable for two reasons - (a) the only match in the 1st round where a player definitely has to vote against one of their own nominations (sorry cat) and (b) the only match in the 1st round where the robots go head-to-head.

DONE

ROUND 1 - DAY 3

A Tribe Called Red - Stadium Pow Wow vs Zed Yago - The Pale Man
The first was better than I expected but still can't compete with my own old German heavy metal nom.

Dogkennel Hill - Drink vs Yaeji - Passionfruit
Both were decent and it was a hard choice. Too much Auto-Tune on the second turned the tables for excessive drinking.

Broadcast - Come on Let's Go vs Tuna Laguna - On to Tarmac
First was fine but little repetitive and I'm not fan of instrumentals.

Dead End - Serafine vs The Who - I Can't Explain
I don't know exactly why but something in Dead End didn't sound right. The Who isn't too good either but at least it isn't boring.

Ray Wylie Hubbard - The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse vs Maximo Park - North By North East
I'm just sitting here and waiting for the apocalypse.

The Chesterfield Kings - She Told Me Lies vs Lindi Ortega - You Ain't Foolin' Me
First one is really generic, second is (at least to me) little more fresh but too good either.

Showbiz & A.G. - Next Level (Nyte Time Mix) vs Satoko Ishimine - the end of the world (cover)
I'm sure everyone knew my vote for this already but lets make it official.

Julian Cope - World Shut Your Mouth vs R.E.M. - Star Me Kitten
I already forgot both of them. Hmm... I think the first was little more interesting.

[doubledenim]

Aim - Demonique vs Slayer - Piece By Piece


The Sidh - I'm just a Sidh in Ireland vs Dead Meadow - Lady

[Chypmunk]

Big thanks again to doubledenim for breaking our ties :up:

[resopamenic]

R1D3

Zed Yago - The Pale Man
Have plain time. gotta pick one

Yaeji - Passionfruit
Not fond with both

Tuna Laguna - On to Tarmac
need to turn my lap on for this one. paid off with good stuff instead :D

Dead End - Serafine
Have good time with the matchup. Still never big with the who, i cant explain.

Maximo Park - North By North East
not liking both

The Chesterfield Kings - She Told Me Lies
it was OK

Satoko Ishimine - the end of the world (cover)
hands down

R.E.M. - Star Me Kitten
OK

[Chypmunk]

ROUND 1 - DAY 3

A Tribe Called Red - Stadium Pow Wow vs Zed Yago - The Pale Man
Not keen on either

Dogkennel Hill - Drink vs Yaeji - Passionfruit
Didn't mind the second but not a difficult choice for me

Broadcast - Come on Let's Go vs Tuna Laguna - On to Tarmac
Fairly close, but the first was more consistently to my taste

Dead End - Serafine vs The Who - I Can't Explain
Closer than I would have expected, first just overstayed a little bit for me though

Ray Wylie Hubbard - The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse vs Maximo Park - North By North East
First was ok, second just isn't my type of track really

The Chesterfield Kings - She Told Me Lies vs Lindi Ortega - You Ain't Foolin' Me
Didn't like it as much as I hoped from initial vibes but marginal preference for the latter anyway

Showbiz & A.G. - Next Level (Nyte Time Mix) vs Satoko Ishimine - the end of the world (cover)
Decent enough rendition of a class song

Julian Cope - World Shut Your Mouth vs R.E.M. - Star Me Kitten
Fairly easy choice for me

[cat_sidhe]

ROUND 1 - DAY 3

A Tribe Called Red - Stadium Pow Wow vs Zed Yago - The Pale Man

Dogkennel Hill - Drink vs Yaeji - Passionfruit

Broadcast - Come on Let's Go vs Tuna Laguna - On to Tarmac
Very difficult choice for me as Tuna Laguna's one of the rare bands whose album I bought within a minute of listening to the first track. Long story how that happened, but it's always been special to me. Broadcast is another band special to me, and emotionally, I feel the pull to vote for them.

Dead End - Serafine vs The Who - I Can't Explain

Ray Wylie Hubbard - The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse vs Maximo Park - North By North East

ROUND 1 - DAY 3

A Tribe Called Red - Stadium Pow Wow *vs* Zed Yago - The Pale Man
I actually quite like "The Pale Man," but I prefer my own nom a little more.

Dogkennel Hill - Drink *vs* Yaeji - Passionfruit

Broadcast - Come on Let's Go *vs* Tuna Laguna - On to Tarmac
Nice chillout music. The other video kinda creeped me out.

Dead End - Serafine *vs* The Who - I Can't Explain
This isn't the best song of theirs, but I like The Who in general.

Ray Wylie Hubbard - The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse *vs* Maximo Park - North By North East

The Chesterfield Kings - She Told Me Lies *vs* Lindi Ortega - You Ain't Foolin' Me

Showbiz & A.G. - Next Level (Nyte Time Mix) *vs* Satoko Ishimine - the end of the world (cover)
I enjoy old skool hip-hop, but wasn't going to pick it over the cute Japanese woman and her beautiful voice.

Julian Cope - World Shut Your Mouth *vs* R.E.M. - Star Me Kitten

[jiraffejustin]

A Tribe Called Red - Stadium Pow Wow vs Zed Yago - The Pale Man

Dogkennel Hill - Drink vs Yaeji - Passionfruit - Damn, I am digging Yaeji.

Broadcast - Come on Let's Go vs Tuna Laguna - On to Tarmac - I'm writing this part before listening to the second track, so I'm not sure how I'll vote. That said, I am really digging this Broadcast track. It feels good listening to back-to-back killers when you do these tournaments. From that Yaeji track to this one, I'm doing good. Now Tuna Laguna gotta step up and kill it too, and with a name like that they better be some type of weirdos. Update: Tuna Laguna is good for sure, but not up to the same snuff as the previous two tracks. Great match-up though.

Dead End - Serafine vs The Who - I Can't Explain - Voting for the Whoeatles.

Ray Wylie Hubbard - The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse vs Maximo Park - North By North East

The Chesterfield Kings - She Told Me Lies vs Lindi Ortega - You Ain't Foolin' Me

Showbiz & A.G. - Next Level (Nyte Time Mix) vs Satoko Ishimine - the end of the world (cover)

Listen to a couple more Yaeji songs.... I'm all the way in. I am thankful for this tournament if for nothing else just finding Yaeji.

ROUND 1 - DAY 4

Suede - Animal Nitrate vs Container 47 - Razor End Falling
Suede isn't my type of music but at least they do seem to have a clear vision while Container 47's song is just a huge monotonous lump.

Patti Smith - Nine vs Massive Attack - Safe From Harm
Both are pretty decent but I don't like those spoken parts in MA so my vote goes to Patti.

16 horsepower - Coal Black Horses vs Goldie - Inner City Life
Didn't like either that much but Goldie's background sounds like it's having a spasm.

Nogizaka46 - Influenza vs All Them Witches - Right Hand
Both are kinda fine but first is a tad too generic.

Nordman - Vandraren vs X Japan - Week End
I've tried to listen X Japan few times before but never got into it. Vandraren on the other hand is great folk-pop song.

Kids See Ghosts - Kids See Ghosts vs Gyptian - Hold You
Second one has some good stuff in it, first one doesn't.

G-Schmitt - LSD vs Ihsahn - Mass Darkness
Ihsahn is one the great talents that emerged from the early Norwegian black metal scene. LSD, while decent, can't beat great music.

Björk - Human Behaviour vs The Almanacs - Side by Side
First three Björk albums are some of the best pop albums ever. The other one is horrible.

[Chypmunk]

ROUND 1 - DAY 4

Suede - Animal Nitrate vs Container 47 - Razor End Falling
Not a big fan of Brett's whine but I do like AN as a song, I lurve 'monotonous lumps' though :D

Patti Smith - Nine vs Massive Attack - Safe From Harm
Big MA fan so not really fussed which goes through but love Patti too so I'll stay loyal to mine here

16 horsepower - Coal Black Horses vs Goldie - Inner City Life
Easy enough choice for me, not mad into that Goldie track

Nogizaka46 - Influenza vs All Them Witches - Right Hand
Second is just far more my type of jam - did prefer the first visually though :yup:

Nordman - Vandraren vs X Japan - Week End
Second was ok but fairly easy choice for me here

Kids See Ghosts - Kids See Ghosts vs Gyptian - Hold You
Relatively easy decision for me in this one

G-Schmitt - LSD vs Ihsahn - Mass Darkness
Quite enjoyed the first, second was ok too

Björk - Human Behaviour vs The Almanacs - Side by Side
Nothing wrong with the second but can't compete with good Björk for me

[resopamenic]

R1D4

Container 47 - Razor End Falling
definitely my jam 👍 far more tham suede

Patti Smith - Nine
Patti Overkill. If look by previous pattern likely the kind of song and artist that'll get into final round

16 horsepower - Coal Black Horses
Not really like the vocal tho'

Nogizaka46 - Influenza
In "normal" circumstances i probably will choose those All Them Witch :D - but nogi's girl clearly need my loyal vote, even after i twisted the title xD


X Japan - Week End
Easy peasy

Gyptian - Hold *
not mine type of stuff so either is fine

G-Schmitt - LSD*
Nice match. Nihonjin post punk is more of my jam tho' - syoko's rule!

The Almanacs - Side by Side
Haha i wonder why. It's just make me smile

A Tribe Called Red - Stadium Pow Wow vs Zed Yago - The Pale Man-I thought the first was a commercial when it started, and then the whole thing sounded like a commercial. The video for the second did it no favors so I tried not to watch. Decent song I thought, keeping in mind most of these are probably not my taste.

Dogkennel Hill-Drink vs Yaeji - Passionfruit-I liked both of these.

Julian Cope - World Shut Your Mouth vs R.E.M. - Star Me Kitten-I generally hate R.E.M. but I didn't like the other song either.

ROUND 1 - DAY 4

Suede - Animal Nitrate vs Container 47 - Razor End Falling
Dug the second. It reminded me a bit of Chrome. :up:

Patti Smith - Nine vs Massive Attack - Safe From Harm
Bother great songs, but the edge goes to Patti this time.

16 horsepower - Coal Black Horses vs Goldie - Inner City Life
That Goldie track brings back some memories of driving the city outskirts at night...awesome ****. But I love the energy of 16 Horsepower. It kinda does something to me. :lol:

Nogizaka46 - Influenza vs All Them Witches - Right Hand
I love the second song. It's in my current loop of "must hear every day" songs at the moment. :blush:

Nordman - Vandraren vs X Japan - Week End
Never liked Nordman.

Kids See Ghosts - Kids See Ghosts vs Gyptian - Hold You
The first was a little more my kinda thing than the second.

G-Schmitt - LSD vs Ihsahn - Mass Darkness
Really enjoy a bit of Ihsahn. I liked the first one too.

Björk - Human Behaviour vs The Almanacs - Side by Side
I liked the creepiness of the second, but I love Björk...

[MijaFrost]

ROUND 1 - DAY 4

Suede - Animal Nitrate *vs* Container 47 - Razor End Falling

Patti Smith - Nine *vs* Massive Attack - Safe From Harm
This was a nice Patti Smith tune, I'll listen to it again.

16 horsepower - Coal Black Horses *vs* Goldie - Inner City Life

Nogizaka46 - Influenza *vs* All Them Witches - Right Hand
The girls and their outfits were cute, and I always appreciate choreographed dancing.

Nordman - Vandraren *vs* X Japan - Week End
Rather liked this.

Kids See Ghosts - Kids See Ghosts *vs* Gyptian - Hold You
The first was a little too weird even for Kanye. Guess he never stops surprising me.

G-Schmitt - LSD *vs* Ihsahn - Mass Darkness

Björk - Human Behaviour *vs* The Almanacs - Side by Side
Björk is such a cutie here.

16 horsepower - Coal Black Horses *vs* Satoko Ishimine - the end of the world (cover)

Zed Yago - The Pale Man *vs* Patti Smith - Nine
This is a tough match because I like both, but the edge goes to Zed Yago because they're obscure, European, and from the '80s.

G-Schmitt - LSD *vs* Penetration - Life's A Gamble
Sure, I'd accept some LSD.

Ray Wylie Hubbard - The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse *vs* Cody Jinks - Whiskey Bent & Hell Bound

[Chypmunk]

As one of the robots is having as much success as anyone in this tourney thus far it's probably a good time to explain how they selected their nominations .... basically each one Tatty (Tacitus), mark (mark f) and steve (Yoda) just worked backwards through the What Are You Listening To While You're Mofoin' It thread on the day this thread was started and 'borrowed' the first eight tracks at the top of each post put up by each of those Mofos that fit the tournament criteria (<10 mins).

Why those particular three players you may ask? Purely because they all had plenty of posts in that thread and I thought they would each likely see the amusing side of their songs being used in such a way (or in other words, not throw a snot-fit about it).

Just in case any of you were wondering.

Well, it kind of is ... just they didn't know anything about it :D
And just realised I've actually told a porky or two there .... with Tatty's The Fall nomination it's not the top one but actually the second song from that post ('cos he remarked it was his fav Fall track so it felt more 'right' to use that one instead) and Yods doesn't have many posts in that thread at all but after originally doing mark and Tatty it just struck me as being highly amusing if I was to do the same for Our Glorious Leader as well :)

The whole process amused me anyway :D

[Chypmunk]

Looks like we're struggling to find someone to break those ties (I always prefer to openly request rather than ask specific individuals as the latter potentially introduces a level of bias depending on who I chose to contact) - hopefully someone like cricket will come to our rescue in the next few hours, if not I'll have to devise some sort of alternative plan to break them. Either way, for the remainder of the tourney i'll simply refrain from voting - meaning these ties will be the last we need outside help for.

Apologies for the wait.

[cricket]

I can break those in a few minutes. I'll listen to them but I can only do voice text to vote.

[Chypmunk]

I can break those in a few minutes. I'll listen to them but I can only do voice text to vote.
You're an absolute star :up: - if necessary just say one or two for each match if that's easier?

[cricket]

In the first match I vote for all of the witches, I thought it was awesome. The other song was pretty decent for an artist I don't like.

And match two I will vote for the first song in a close call. They reminded me of the go goes if they were heavier. And Oriental.

In the last match I will again vote for the first song, another I thought was great. The second song is not really my taste and a little long, but I thought it was pretty good.

[Chypmunk]

cricket - cheers bud, I say again - you're a star!

SEMI FINALS

******* this is hard for me.

I'll vote on the first, but have to wait till I finish work to listen to them both again and see which I prefer. I have an emotional attachment to that Black Widow album (it being one of the first records I bought when I went on my first solo music discovery journey, going into record shops, examining album covers, wondering what the hell it was I was bringing home....I can still remember how that record insleeve smelled like!) but the Ray Wylie Hubbard is new to me, and the perfect kind of creepy country I'd expect to hear in a horror movie in which city kids stumble into a forest dwellers hut and that's playing on the gramophone. Love that kind of thing.

Tough choice, you understand....

Will bold which of the two in the second matchup wins for me in a couple of hours if that's ok. :)



16 horsepower - Coal Black Horses vs All Them Witches - Right Hand

I've loved 16 Horsepower for much longer than I have All Them Witches (which is a rather recent discovery for me), but I AM quite in love with Right Hand as a song

All kewl in the pool, just post comment me when you've voted on the other one so I know to come and pick them up :up:

16 horsepower - Coal Black Horses vs All Them Witches - Right Hand

I've been listening to the next two back and forth so I can figure out which one to choose - I like both.
Looked up the lyrics, and realized that "Way to Power" includes:
"The Four of the Apocalypse on horseback ever wait
The Talisman of Set was mine, the Horsemen did my bidding."
So... maybe I should vote for RWH because his song is following up on what happens when the four horsemen are no longer waiting. :P

Ok, the vote from cat_sidhe is gonna be needed as the second match is currently tied. I'll give her 12 hours from now to have voted and if not I'll decide which goes through.

Sorry for the delay folks.

You SAY simple but this is heavy, man! MY FEELS!

OK I'll cast the vote in an hour. I'm home then and can deal with big decisions about cool tunes. :)

[cat_sidhe]

It was too difficult to choose, as it was something old I have attachment to, and something new to me that I like a lot. Couldn't choose.

I hope you all had fun, there were some great tunes nominated and it was a pleasure to MC this one for y'all.

[Chypmunk]

Almost forgot to give a shout out to Tacitus and mark f who ever so generously didn't even know they were donating songs to be a part of this, considering your songs were all orphans you both did remarkably well. And also many thanks to Yoda for being unwittingly willing to donate as well - even though your tunes weren't actually required for this one I still very much appreciate the thought you never even knew you had.

I'm hoping that you can all find it in your hearts to forgive the absolute cheek of this damned pesky rodent :)
