8. T. Graham Brown - I Tell It Like It Used To Be

R9 nom:
Airlock - Face Down



Princess Chelsea - Monkey Eats Bananas - Sometimes I like weird but it soon gets annoying. For some reason this hasn't. To the point where I've checked out other stuff by her and like that too. Obviously I didn't nominate this to win, but if some of you did like it (or didn't hate it) I'd recommend checking out her other stuff. It's not all like this.

Di*Ove - Gaze - I dont' know if I like it more because there's that Bowie sound to his voice or whether I'm punishing it for it?

Eric Burdon, War - Spill the Wine - This should be right in my wheelhouse, but it's not quite there for some reason. Still, mellow and a nice bass sound.

Jim Croce - Operator .. (alt if needed) - Nice and short, it felt quite nice to listen to.

Dvorak - Symphony No. 9, Movement 3 - This just existed for me today. I'm afraid I wasn't into it at all.

T. Graham Brown - I Tell It Like It Used To Be - This stuff just passes through my ears. It's not unpleasant, but pointless for me.

Peppino Gagliardi - Sempre... Sempre - Another which just isn't my thing.

Emmylou Harris & John Prine - Magnolia Wind - Really didn't like this. Sorry.



Round 8

1. Emmylou Harris & John Prine - Magnolia Wind
(Masterful songwriting from a legend, interpreted beautifully by two legends in their own right.)

2. T Graham Brown - I Tell Like It Used to Be
(Definitely sounds dated in a dad's-trying-to-be-cool way, but I still dug it, especially the chorus.)

3. Jim Croce - Operator
(Nice, pleasant sound. Bittersweet lyrics.)

4. Princess Chelsea - Monkey Eats Bananas
(Um . . . okay. Not sure what to say about this one, but it was weirdly entrancing. The edibles must be kicking in.)

5. Di*Ove - Gaze
(Would've preferred this without vocals.)

6.Eric Burdon, War - Spill the Wine
(Typically I'd be into its funky, lazy, sunny 70's sound, but today I'm just not feeling it. And I'm rarely into songs that are mostly spoken instead of sung.)

7. Peppino Gagliardi - Sempre, Sempre
(Quickly grew bored of this, despite its classy, bygone-era sound.)

8. Dvorak - Symphony No. 9, Movement 3
(I'm already fighting off drowsiness and this nearly put me out for the count.)

Women will be your undoing, Pépé
I'm normally late but this is the first time I went MIA.
My apologies.
Mom's having a rough time, healthwise these few days. It turned out to be an infection in the end and she's getting through it. She's 90.

Sorry to hear ed, hope she recovers quickly and all is well.

Both you and @ynwtf are of course welcome to rejoin by throwing a nomination into this thread whenever you desire.

As yin is involved I guess I should add that nominations after the Final is put up won't actually enter anything though - so dropping a nom here in November (for example) might prove rather pointless



I can't believe I got a win with Princess Chelsea.

Airlock - Face Down - This has a really nice vibe. Very mid/late 90's trip hop. I don't know the song at all, but it's smack bang in the mood I'm in today it might well beat my own choice, which is something I've not known for very long.

Tchaikovsky - Symphony No. 2, Movement 1, Part 1 - I just love Tchaikovsky. So much of his stuff is instantly likeable and just gets better with familiarity.

Colorama - Baby Don't Go - It's such a nice simple sound. It can't go on for too long because it because it'll become background music, but while it's here I enjoy it.

Metallica - Wherever I May Roam - So familiar but so good.

Sacred Reich - Manifest Reality - A lot of thrash metal sounds the same to me, but that's not that bad a thing. Screaming guitars and heavy percussion is welcome.

Steve Wariner - Some Fools Never Learn - Not my sound as we know, but in another round this would've done better.
