Red Mosquito

Shit, it's march and I forgot about March Madness. The tournament will hopefully begin on Monday (or Tuesday) of next week. This year's challenge...getting to 256 songs for a no skips tournament! How did we do it? With slightly arbitrary inclusion standards for non-album songs PLUS Mirror Ball and Temple of the Dog (which are 80ish% pearl jam albums), Mad Season (which is having a birthday!), and Earthlings (to make the math work).

The Rules
-Seedings are completely randomized
-Single elimination
-Matches are open 24 hoursish, with rounds starting when I am able to get to them. Likely 8 PM est.
-In the event of ties, matches will stay open another 24 hours unless we need a winner to move on to the next match, in which case matches will stay open for pre--determined intervals


Can last year's champion, Brain of J, pull of a nearly (or completely) unheard of repeat victory? You decide!

Originally I had Into the Wild and Ukulele Songs in the mix instead of Mirror Ball and Mad Season but I figured people would prefer this.

thank you for taking time out of your busy day to piss in someone else’s cereal. that is a public service that too often goes unsung.

I always like voting in these, so thank you for doing this, stip.

woot. stoked

I’d love to take part in this.

First timer, but looking through the old threads, it looks fun.

Some DM songs have a good chance of going far.

there’s no byes, so hopefully sole former champs knock each other out early

We should do this one year based on drum snares

Previous winners belong in the tourney. Are the Dodgers out of contention for the 2025 World Series because they won in 2024? Are the Diamondbacks out of contention for the 2025 World Series because they won in 2001?

Let's just have a fun tourney
