There's only a handful of "weak" songs left. Most of the second round victories were pretty decisive, and all but one of the first, second, third and fourth seeds were knocked out. I called those better than I thought, although I doubt the same will hold true for this round. You may need to pull out the cds this time-- some of the pairings are toughies. Voting Instructions: There are two ways to vote. You may vote for one song from each pair. Just pick whichever of the two tunes you like better. It can be any version of the song (favorite version, live or album of song A, versus favorite version, live or album, of song B). Heck, you can even make up your own rules for voting. Just vote for one from each pairing. 1. Put an X, a bunch of X's, or some other obvious mark in front of the song name, i.e. XThe Crossing Tangerine Fascination (mad props to anyone who can correctly identify the author of these) 2. Delete the one tune you don't want to win. If you are -not- voting for either song in a pairing, please don't delete both. This is confusing when I manually tally the votes. Leave both. Do the same if you vote with the first method. You don't have to vote for every pairing if you do not wish to.

Oh, the heartbreak! Bargainville advanced 11 tunes to the second round, taking up more than one third of the spots. Will release the new pairings shortly. The B and C albums, on the other hand, only managed to send in three tunes, losing ten matches. Most importantly, there are some strong showings by some of the songs in No Man's Land.. If you couldn't tell, the #1-4 seeds were placed, tourney- style, into the first, last, fifth, and fourth pairings in each bracket. Only one of the 1-4 seeds lost (Sad Girl, a #4 seed). Songs are listed in order of original ballot placement.

Godfrey Daniels is great little place with some really good shows, and DVN is a great band to go see. Fr|vous was brought to Bethlehem by Godfrey Daniels last year, although they are too big for the little coffee house which is the usual setting for GD shows. Support local (well, kinda) music!

It's, like, a little ice floe right off the northern tip of Greenland! There's some US early-warning military base there, ensuring our dominion against those pesky furriners!
