Love it.

My money is on Thin Air this year.

[Higgs]

Win Air

[Bammer]

Win Air

Yeah baby

[tommy]

Thin Air will be eliminated in the first round by Comatose

[liebzz]

I hope NEW SINGLE wins this year.

[WaitingForBluey]

You did not read the directions.

[liebzz]

If Turning Mist doesn’t win this thing, it’s rigged.

[WaitingForBluey]

If Turning Mist doesn’t win this thing, it’s rigged.

Would never make it past Evil Little Goat

[Anders]

Would be cool if the entire new album was included.

[Farmer John]

I'm rooting for The Door Leak to go all the way this year.

[stip]

Would be cool if the entire new album was included.

if stars align i am prepared to adjust

Fantastic.

[Bammer]

Haha I can just imagine this happening when Backspacer came out. Everyone is all excited, a Backspacer song wins the tournament, and then like 6 months later we realize what we’ve done.

Don’t get sucked into the dark matter, folks.

Vote for Thin Air

[ABNorman]

Would be cool if the entire new album was included.

if stars align i am prepared to adjust

I vote for just running an April Madness and including the new album so we get some crazy votes that we can look back at and chortle in 5 years.

Bro like I already said - 6 months.

I fully respect the hard work, patience and effort Stip puts into this, so whatever he decides, but I agree. Much more relevant and fun if the new album is included.

[Strat]

Dark Matter just won. Lock this up

[Anders]

May Madness 2024?

[stip]

May Madness 2024?

put a poll up. Lets let the people decide.

(but probably)
