Read the schedule, Joey.

[Sgt. Crackpot]

I already resigned.

Chud didn't really post this.

[LetMeSleep]

I haven't listened to all of EJs. Do you want me to wait or vote on the first match now? It looks like the Chud/EJ is decided already.

[Simple Torture]

We just need one more person to vote in order to break a tie, really.

[EJ]

Is LMS still waiting to vote?

[Sgt. Crackpot]

I admire LMS's commitment to listening to all of the songs.

I admire LMS's commitment to listening to all of the songs.

All the songs that have ever been created?

[Simple Torture]

We just need one more person to vote; doesn't need to be LMS.

[Simple Torture]

Still tied; someone better fucking vote before I wake up.

[Sgt. Crackpot]

Just retract my vote if need be.

[LetMeSleep]

Doug and EJ.

Sorry for the hold up. When a sick kid ruined my plans with my wife I gave up and listened to the rest of the songs.

Yours in frustration,

LMS

Trag v Simple Torture

Trag: The sonic youth theme is not my favorite of the simpsons theme variations, and Very Good Beer is one of those bits that is very clever, but not something I go back to. He ends strong though. The HMS Pinafore Revue should have, in hindsight, been the third overall pick in this thing. It's a show defining song, and the meow meow meow sequence is one of their best bits. I didn't realize Land of Chocolate was an original theme! that's another great pick. And hey big spender is a solid, but unspectacular, bit.

Weaker start, but quite a strong finish.

ST: Who needs the quik e mart and flaming moes are classics, but they don't excite me anymore (and flaming moe's never erally did). Can I borrow a feeling is amazing, and happy birthday mister smithers is an excellent last round pick. Mediocre Presidents is fantastic. I didn't even remember There's a Kind of Hush, but there are better songs to pick.

This is very close. Gonna have to tally these on a 5 point scale

Trag: Simpsons Theme: 2
Very Good Beer: 3
HMS Pinafore: 5
Meow Meow Meow: 4
Hey Big Spender: 3
Land of Chocolate: 4
Total: 21

ST: Who Needs the Qwik E-Mart: 4
Can I Borrow a Feeling: 4
Flaming Moes: 3
There's a Kind of Hush: 1
Mediocre Presidents: 4
Happy Birthday Mister Smithers: 4
Total: 20

I guess it is Trag.
