Red Mosquito

I love Release but it's a pretty safe pick

Round is closed

248. Go vs. Rearviewmirror
249. In My Tree vs. Last Exit
250. Hail Hail vs. Sleight of Hand
251. Insignificance vs. Corduroy

RVM made it to within one vote of its first semifinals. 3 former champions will try to unseat the defending champion, Go

semi finals!

252. Go vs Last Exit
253. Corduroy vs Hail Hail

I'm confused about when these end. The last round was supposed to end at 8M today.

The Road to the Semis

Go: Bye, Alive, You Are, Jeremy, Black, Rearview Mirror
Last Exit: Dirty Frank, Puzzles and Games, Release, All Those Yesterday’s, Do the Evolution, In My Tree

Hail Hail: Brother, Of the Girl, Wash, Daughter, Long Road, Sleight of Hand
Corduroy: State of Love and Trust, Alright, Last Soldier, Take the Long Way, No Way, Insignificance


Go really ran a gauntlet of their best early work. Other than You Are I voted against it in every round it seems. Yet I do love this song. It just lacks the emotional and lyrical complexity of their best work of that era. Last Exit had to mow down two former champs to get here, but probably had a slightly easier bracket.


Hail Hail had a fairly easy time getting here. Daughter, Long Road, and SoH osometimes make it to the QFs but rarely farther

Corduroy may have had it even easier until Insignificance, though SOLAT is a rough first round and No Way usually does well.


Go and Last Exit had a much harder bracket I think.

I put up 8 AM but generally 24 hours. I told the girls I would go get breakfast and won’t be free at 8

Last eight felt just right, even if I hadn’t voted for several of them in some rounds, but final four feels a little off.

I hijacked this and made it a front page post.

I feel the same way, somehow.

Yea, me too. it's just the typical songs and exactly as i expected, which is unfortunate and not as exciting.

Burn your assumptions

1 Vs., 2 Vitalogy, 1 No Code - not bad for vanilla. Perhaps this is vanilla bean, which is the best vanilla anyways.

Immortality
Hail, Hail

Songs I've grown a new appreciation for:
Even higher appreciation:
In The Moonlight
In Hiding

Spin the Black Circle
Sweet Lew

New pickups:

Mike Pence really needs to send this shit back to the state legislatures.

I was listening to the Pearl Jam channel on Sirius while driving around today. After about 4 songs i thought to myself “they sure are playing a lot of songs from the March Madness tournament “.

Last night over dinner my boy asked my wife what is her favourite vegetable? Her reply: Ask your dad, he likes to rank things.

If she only knew the whole truth rather than the glimpse through the curtains.
