I think when you start digging into the south African cross dresser scene it's okay to go with the hit.

I may be missing picks from ledbetter and kaius. If so let me know what they are.
I will not be home tomorrow, and so if someone else could set up the first round of matches post that would be great. The bracket is in the first post
Matches A-D. They should be open for two days.

Fuck that Justin Timberlake shit, and Holla Back? Really?
I DO appreciate Juliette and the Licks ... YLT was good, too...
Here's my last 5... All representatives of my old stomping grounds...
Along with Tim Delaughter, the leader of Tripping Daisy/Polyphonic Spree...
Salim Nourallah, Chris Holt of The Slack, and Trey Johnson of Sorta are on my Mount Rushmore of Dallas Songwriters...
I could choose nearly any of their songs, and I implore you RMers to explore their music...
Sorta - Tell Me A Story
Salim Nourallah - 1978
The Slack - You Deserve Better
The Feds - Sleep Till Noon
Jibe - Crush
OK, back to your regularly scheduled programming... and as always...
