He wrote the best book on the New Deal that I ever thought about reading.

I’ll just recommend here that there be some sort of marker to tell what round we are in. Granted I know this is round 1 but I recall from past tournaments that I could never quite tell where we were until the very end.

It is literally in the thread title

although I forgot to update it so I'll shut up


There is also a bracket link in the first post

Sorry I meant in the individual song battles.

Closing things down.

Love it

There is one more match as brutal as given to fly/immortality in round 1.

I haven’t looked but if it is In My Tree vs. Tremor Christ I abstain. You can’t ask me to choose between my children.

I gotta say, I didn't think there were any brutal matches this round. Well except that Grievance was up against a song I couldn't possibly vote for. Forcing me to vote for Grievance is always brutal. But it was an easy vote.

Which three were tough for you? Immortality v GtF, but the others?

I hesitated on Grievance/Setting Forth and Without You/Let the Records Play, but I wouldn't call either brutal.
