I've been listening to it on random right now. It's a little weird to hear it out of order, but it is a darn good album. I don't think it's their best, but there are some serious heavy hitters on it.

and yet I lost that stupid song tournament in the first round with Animal AND Daughter AND Rearviewmirror AND Small Town.

let it go Stip. Nearly all of us lost.

it haunts me.

My only consolation is that the guy I lost to won the whole thing.

I didn't mind hearing Small Town right now, as I continue to listen to Vs. on shuffle, but man, I really hate getting it live. I don't know why, but it pisses me off. Especially if they open with it.

If it makes you feel any better I listened to both of your mixes and his was awesome.

Hey man, I had Corduroy, Rearviewmirror, Breath, and Nothingman (and Undone...UNDONE!) and still lost in round one (albeit to the dude who won not only that tournament, but the showdown of champions as well).

And I championed your cause more than anyone!

You have the end of the story mixed up though. Your guy lost to my guy in the finals.

Still, we were robbed.


And I also had Corduroy and Black and Olympic Platnium. How does a team with Corduroy, Black, Rearviewmirror, Daughter, Small town, Animal, and Olympic Platinum lose to anyone?

Do you think it was just petty jealousy on the part of RM that robbed us of our just desserts?

Because I do.

Shut up

Not until I'm done feeling sorry for myself!

thajambi wasn't the grand champion? I guess I wasn't paying close enough attention. But yeah, I do think it was petty jealousy. I actually think there was a conspiracy in place. RM collusion, if you will.

If it had taken place somewhere else, we would've won our respective tournaments pretty easily. And then you probably would've beaten me in the championship round.

Who can say? It would have been an honor to lose to a team of your quality

Can you guys stop hijacking this thread now? People are trying to rank things in here.

Out in the real world, Black, Daughter, & Small Town would have proven far too mighty to overcome, even with Breath & Nothingman. I think you would have crushed me, ultimately.

Rank the righteous indignation over losing in the PJ song tournament from July/August...

Stip's gotta be #1. I bet he talks about it constantly IRL.

If I've never stopped talking about it does that mean I've only mentioned it once?

You're not fooling anyone. Surely you had to stop every now and then so you could tell everyone that "Lightning Bolt is a really good record".
