well, I have had such a blast seeing all the reactions to “back of the truck”. Part of my enjoyment is ironic, most of it isn’t. Sure, the opening is a lot, but the heavy, production, abrasive outro and f**king wild lyrics won me over. Maybe it was a miracle that my #1 was too old to compete, or otherwise this beautiful s**tshow wouldn’t have transpired. I promise my other picks are normal I understand the hate - we can’t all act like a slut or look like a bitch, let alone do both simultaneously

“Champion” & “This Island” are both good, but the former won because Miranda Lambert is just amazing. “sympathy 4 the grinch” slapped, but “One More” going out now would be a travesty. I’ve been trying to get into Chevelle for a while, and while this is my fave song I heard from them yet, “Morning Matters” is so damn smooth. Putting “ICU” & “Easy” together is gross, and I NARROWLY went with Phoebe. If it was the original “Easy”, she might have lost. “Muka Dua” was fun, but I’m sorry to say that “Opus” kinda steamrolled it. I liked the LP song!! I haven’t listened to her in a while. The redveil song was also good, I want to hear more.

new library additions: Champion, Morning Matters, How Low Can You Go

[lyhom]

gonna finally stop procrastinating and vote in a set for once

comments will mostly be done as I listen lol

---

Ward Thomas f/ Cam - “Don't Be A Stranger” (Stranger, #1) vs. Michete - “Back Of The Truck” (pheebs, #6)

- the track record of "songs james randomly gets obsessed with once a year" has had a pretty good track record, and that doesn't change with don't be a stranger
- michete go to horny jail

TV Priest - “This Island” (American Idiot, #1) vs. Miranda Lambert - “Champion” (Tay, #6)

- this island has a nice post-punky sound to it but I'm not really into the vocalists voice, although this sort of stuff in general is just a minefield of "will I not mind the weird vocals" most of the time lol
- champion is pretty pleasant, not surprising though considering the artist

SG Lewis f/ Nile Rodgers - “One More” (Juan Carlos, #1) vs. 100 gecs - “sympathy 4 the grinch” (1^∞, #6)

- pulse go one madness without sending an sg lewis song challenge except don't do that because they usually slap, this included
- sympathy 4 the grinch is exactly what I'd expect out of a 100 gecs christmas song. still doubt they'll ever top money machine for me but this is alright

Chevelle - “Piistol Star (Gravity Heals)” (Lordeftones, #1) vs. Yazmin Lacey - “Morning Matters” (lyhom, #6)

- the randomizer is a whole bitch for this matchup, I've really liked "self destrucor" and "peach" from chevelle's newest album, and "piistol star" is pretty good too, I wouldn't be mad if it won

still not voting for it this matchup

Troye Sivan & Kacey Musgraves f/ Mark Ronson - “Easy” (GrinningLikeADevil, #1) vs. Phoebe Bridgers - “ICU” (willapted33, #6)

- I haven't really been up to date with anything troye's released since the bloom era, which I should probably do because I generally like his stuff lol. easy keeps the streak of good stuff up.
- outside of motion sickness and kyoto I haven't jumped on the phoebe hype train too much but icu is good

Black Country, New Road - “Opus” (rom, #1) vs. FLEUR! - “Muka Dua” (Sambalada, #6)

- I love "sunglasses" but never really had the motivation to listen to any other bcnr song, and "opus" is pretty much what I expected. it's good, although I'm probably not going to listen to it again lol
- muka dua is a pretty cool sounding song, getting sort of 50s rock and roll vibes

LP - “How Low Can You Go” (Au$tin, #1) vs. redveil - "Drown" (filthy, #6)

- I probably join most people in the "haven't heard anything by lp other than lost on you" club but how low can you go is a solid second impression
- was wondering where I recognized the name "redveil" until rom's comment about him being that random artist anthony fantano shat on a few months ago made me remember lol. drown is solid, definitely wears its influences on its sleeve but it has potential

[filthy]

Ward Thomas f/ Cam - “Don't Be A Stranger” (Stranger, #1) vs. Michete - “Back Of The Truck” (pheebs, #6)
😀

TV Priest - “This Island” (American Idiot, #1) vs. Miranda Lambert - “Champion” (Tay, #6)

SG Lewis f/ Nile Rodgers - “One More” (Juan Carlos, #1) vs. 100 gecs - “sympathy 4 the grinch” (1^∞, #6)
I enjoyed "times" from SG Lewis, and One More is definitely one of the highlights off it

Chevelle - “Piistol Star (Gravity Heals)” (Lordeftones, #1) vs. Yazmin Lacey - “Morning Matters” (lyhom, #6)
both songs were tight but Morning Matters was reallyyy cool and exactly my type of music

Troye Sivan & Kacey Musgraves f/ Mark Ronson - “Easy” (GrinningLikeADevil, #1) vs. Phoebe Bridgers - “ICU” (willapted33, #6)
aw man these were both really good

Black Country, New Road - “Opus” (rom, #1) vs. FLEUR! - “Muka Dua” (Sambalada, #6)
Opus is close to being my song of the year so i have to vote for it. Muka Dua was cute

LP - “How Low Can You Go” (Au$tin, #1) vs. redveil - "Drown" (filthy, #6)
Drown has been on repeat for me almost every day this year. It's fun, upbeat and the song is even more impressive when you realize that redveil was 16/17 years old when he made it. How Low Can You Go was pretty groovy, but gotta go with my own seed here  

[GP]

Ward Thomas f/ Cam - “Don't Be A Stranger” (Stranger, #1) vs. Michete - “Back Of The Truck” (pheebs, #6)
I see Cam, I instantly love it! Don't Be A Stranger is great, I was already singing it on my first listen!! Michete wasn't it. pheebs what is this ahaha

TV Priest - “This Island” (American Idiot, #1) vs. Miranda Lambert - “Champion” (Tay, #6)
Not a fan of This Island, Champion is not good but gets an easy win here

SG Lewis f/ Nile Rodgers - “One More” (Juan Carlos, #1) vs. 100 gecs - “sympathy 4 the grinch” (1^∞, #6)
One More is such a bop, I love Juan's taste, I really do. 100 gecs on the other hand, I recognise the quality but I'm not really here for them.

Chevelle - “Piistol Star (Gravity Heals)” (Lordeftones, #1) vs. Yazmin Lacey - “Morning Matters” (lyhom, #6)

Troye Sivan & Kacey Musgraves f/ Mark Ronson - “Easy” (GrinningLikeADevil, #1) vs. Phoebe Bridgers - “ICU” (willapted33, #6)
for the disgrace of Pulse, I'm simply not the biggest Phoebe fan so this is an easy matchup for me. I am warming up to Kyoto still..

Black Country, New Road - “Opus” (rom, #1) vs. FLEUR! - “Muka Dua” (Sambalada, #6)
Opus is interesting but Muka Dua takes the cake

LP - “How Low Can You Go” (Au$tin, #1) vs. redveil - "Drown" (filthy, #6)
HLCYG is nice, redveil is very nice tho.

[willapted33]

Ward Thomas f/ Cam - “Don't Be A Stranger” (Stranger, #1) {7.9} vs. Michete - “Back Of The Truck” (pheebs, #6) {(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻}
really liked the way don't be a stranger sounded, back of the truck was definitely the best song i've heard in the tournament so far but it would be unfair for the rest of the songs if i voted for it

TV Priest - “This Island” (American Idiot, #1) {7.7} vs. Miranda Lambert - “Champion” (Tay, #6) {6.8}
british man yelling isn't a genre i usually seek out all that much but it is something i can get behind, this island is no exception. miranda's song was pleasant but not the most interesting thing i've heard from her.

SG Lewis f/ Nile Rodgers - “One More” (Juan Carlos, #1) {7.4} vs. 100 gecs - “sympathy 4 the grinch” (1^∞, #6) {8.1}
one more has nice production but felt a little... generic i guess. sympathy 4 the grinch is a banger asf much love to the gecs

Chevelle - “Piistol Star (Gravity Heals)” (Lordeftones, #1) {5.8} vs. Yazmin Lacey - “Morning Matters” (lyhom, #6) {8.2}
i don't understand chevelle. loved morning matters !!

Troye Sivan & Kacey Musgraves f/ Mark Ronson - “Easy” (GrinningLikeADevil, #1) {6.5} vs. Phoebe Bridgers - “ICU” (willapted33, #6) {10}
easy is ok. i knew i was going to lose this matchup as soon as i saw it lol but yeah you can't really convince me these two are on the same level. hopefully savior complex gets a kinder matchup.

Black Country, New Road - “Opus” (rom, #1) {9.2} vs. FLEUR! - “Muka Dua” (Sambalada, #6) {7.7} 
opus is definitely one of my favourite songs of the year, i'd say its quite a bit better than sunglasses, which i generally found slightly overrated on here. muka dua was good in its own right but didn't really stand a chance for me here..    

LP - “How Low Can You Go” (Au$tin, #1) {6.3} vs. redveil - "Drown" (filthy, #6) {8.6}
nothing wrong with how low can you go, but it didn't really grab me. drown is really good, redveil isn't the most engaging rapper from what i've heard but the production/sound of this one is top notch.

Ward Thomas f/ Cam - “Don't Be A Stranger” (Stranger, #1) [6.1/10] vs. Michete - “Back Of The Truck” (pheebs, #6) [4/10]
Don't Be a Stranger: It's...nice, don't have anything more to say about it. I will say I was expecting "Ward Thomas f/ Cam" to be a male-female duet and I was completely wrong.
Back of the Truck: Well uh props to my fellow SOPHIE avatar for having the audacity to actually send this. Maybe someday I'll finally realize my true potential as a slut and get around to loving this, but that day hasn't arrived yet.

TV Priest - “This Island” (American Idiot, #1) [7.3/10] vs. Miranda Lambert - “Champion” (Tay, #6) [6/10]
This Island: Not exactly a standout among all of the recent British post-punk acts, but like I do generally love most things to come out of that scene anyways.
Champion: Fine but not her best.

SG Lewis f/ Nile Rodgers - “One More” (Juan Carlos, #1) [6.3/10] vs. 100 gecs - “sympathy 4 the grinch” (1^∞, #6) [5.2/10]
One More: It's alright
Sympathy 4 the Grinch: Not even the gecs could make me enjoy a Christmas song

TV Priest - “This Island” (American Idiot, #1) (6.5) vs. Miranda Lambert - “Champion” (Tay, #6) (7.3)
I really dug the instrumentation on This Island but the vocals weren't up my alley personally. Champion was a sweet little song, Miranda is a really touching lyricist.

SG Lewis f/ Nile Rodgers - “One More” (Juan Carlos, #1) (8.1) vs. 100 gecs - “sympathy 4 the grinch” (1^∞, #6) (7.9)
Sympathy 4 The Grinch is definitely more gimmicky then my favorite 100 gecs songs, but it's still catchy and a fun listen, I dug the ska influences. One More is definitely the song I could return to more regularly of these two though, really funky track.

Chevelle - “Piistol Star (Gravity Heals)” (Lordeftones, #1) (7.0) vs. Yazmin Lacey - “Morning Matters” (lyhom, #6) (7.4)

Ugh, this matchup killed me. These are easily my two favorites from this seed so of course they had to go against each other!

"This Island" had amazing production but I found the vocals & melodies underwhelming. It could've been a 9. "Champion" was very pretty. (edit: I just noticed me and walt said the exact same thing about "This Island". thief  )

okay but this matchup though... sorry will, I know I was your sure-fire supporter but "Easy" and the remix are just the best pop songs of 2020 imo. "ICU", while great, is on my "least favorite" side of Phoebe's catalog.

Ward Thomas f/ Cam - “Don't Be A Stranger” (Stranger, #1) vs. Michete - “Back Of The Truck” (pheebs, #6)

"don't be a stranger"
James: *becomes Stranger*

you had one job. This was nice, gave me country Tool vibes but also Back of the Truck was a tall glass of garbage water so easy win.

TV Priest - “This Island” (American Idiot, #1) vs. Miranda Lambert - “Champion” (Tay, #6)

This Island was good, kinda tool-esque in a way but also Miranda Lambert has never done anything for me and this song is no exception.

SG Lewis f/ Nile Rodgers - “One More” (Juan Carlos, #1) vs. 100 gecs - “sympathy 4 the grinch” (1^∞, #6)

no 1000 gecs, obnoxious is not an instrument. Dear lorde if this song was any longer I'd be bleeding out of my ears. Get them to collab with Michete and it might actually open a hole to Hell. One More was pretty good as well, big Stinkfist vibes and SG Lewis looks like Dave Bayley without glasses.

Chevelle - “Piistol Star (Gravity Heals)” (Lordeftones, #1) vs. Yazmin Lacey - “Morning Matters” (lyhom, #6)

Why are the best songs always against each other. Piistol Star lights a fire in my soul, the whole song is just a stomping journey through the stars (Pistol Star is the name of a star in the Milky Way.) Morning Matters was also really good any point there were horns involved. (Without the brass, not so much just sounds like if Tool were R&B)

Troye Sivan & Kacey Musgraves f/ Mark Ronson - “Easy” (GrinningLikeADevil, #1) vs. Phoebe Bridgers - “ICU” (willapted33, #6)

Easy was a really good discovery, I'll be revisiting this one. Too bad it's up against a fantastic Phoebe song that's always given me tool vibes.

Black Country, New Road - “Opus” (rom, #1) vs. FLEUR! - “Muka Dua” (Sambalada, #6)

Opus? More like Opeth cause that's what this song reminds me of. What a wild ride, easily my favorite discovery of this set. Muka Dua was also quite nice, a very breezy palette cleanser from the epic that was Opus.

LP - “How Low Can You Go” (Au$tin, #1) vs. redveil - "Drown" (filthy, #6)

tool songs

Top Five

1. Piistol Star
2. Opus
3. ICU

right sorry, usually i skip songs when they're almost done but that wasn't the case there

[Darkest Hour]

Ward Thomas f/ Cam - “Don't Be A Stranger” (Stranger, #1) vs. Michete - “Back Of The Truck” (pheebs, #6)
The harmony in Don't Be A Stranger is quite good, even though the rest seems to typical country pop flavor. Back Of The Truck would unironically be better if it does not have that outro.

TV Priest - “This Island” (American Idiot, #1) vs. Miranda Lambert - “Champion” (Tay, #6)
Just listening to first few seconds of This Island makes me feel they are yet another English/English-adjacent post-punk band with this type of vocal and it is correct lol. I dig these kinds of guitar though. Champion is a low-key between album release like songs from The Weight of These Wings which will always be underappreciated.

SG Lewis f/ Nile Rodgers - “One More” (Juan Carlos, #1) vs. 100 gecs - “sympathy 4 the grinch” (1^∞, #6)
Nile Rodgers' disco guitar in One More is solid although SG Lewis' vocals are mediocre. The novelty of 100 gecs wears out so quickly lmao. Also not this song has that Michete song title as part of the lyrics.

Chevelle - “Piistol Star (Gravity Heals)” (Lordeftones, #1) vs. Yazmin Lacey - “Morning Matters” (lyhom, #6)
Is it just me or I am hearing part of riff of Stockholm Syndrome in Piistol Star (Gravity Heals)? The jazz elements in Morning Matters are cooler though, although the instrumentals should have been more free-flowing instead of having that cliche percussion.

Troye Sivan & Kacey Musgraves f/ Mark Ronson - “Easy” (GrinningLikeADevil, #1) vs. Phoebe Bridgers - “ICU” (willapted33, #6)
Easy is kind of disappointment, partly because Kacey Musgraves sounds weird in this, and because Mark Ronson is overrated af. ICU is not my favorite songs from Punisher but I think it played the words in solid way.

Black Country, New Road - “Opus” (rom, #1) vs. FLEUR! - “Muka Dua” (Sambalada, #6)
Some parts of Opus sound like epic boss battle music, but the vocals are not my thing. Idk but Muka Dua kinda has country vibes in it. An interesting song for sure.

LP - “How Low Can You Go” (Au$tin, #1) vs. redveil - "Drown" (filthy, #6)
I remember hearing Lost on You by LP before which is heavily promoted I think but never had any real commercial success in the US. How Low Can You Go is decent, probably helped by her vocals are less exaggerated in this. I actually don't hear money machine in Drown (is it a good thing? lol), but Tyler the Creator-like vocals are kind of too obvious.

[taylor is terrified]

Nice to see that Miranda made it through with "Champion"!!! Thanks y'all  :)

Dayglow - “Close To You” (jtd, #1) vs. Thomas Rhett - “What's Your Country Song” (Colbster, #6) I love a lot of Thomas Rhett's music and this is one of the hits for me, but WOW Dayglow just knocks it out of the park. I got to go with "Close To You" here.

Ariana Grande - “pov” (Cynthia, #1) vs. Mike Shinoda f/ Iann Dior & UPSAHL - “Happy Endings” (Macattack, #6) "Happy Endings" was nice but "pov" is just...ugh, it's just heavenly. I wanna feel these lyrics towards somebody lol

Breland f/ Mickey Guyton - “Cross Country” (Stacey, #1) vs. Fraxiom - “scawy monstews and nice spwites :3” (cf72, #6) Mickey Guyton is so exceptionally talented and she will be receiving her due!

NEEV - “Dancing In The Stars” (Leo, #1) vs. Sara Kays - “Remember That Night?” (woods, #6) "Dancing in the Stars" was nice but "Remember That Night?" is right up my alley and I quite loved it!

Carly Pearce - “29” (Bigfan101, #1) vs. Brave Girls - “We Ride” (fearlessarrow, #6) fearlessarrow I'm so sorry lol. "29" is just phenomenal in every single sense of the word. It deserves awards.

Jake Hoot f/ Kelly Clarkson - “I Would've Loved You” (Tay, #1) vs. Noah Reid - “Honesty” (DistrictTwelve, #6) Well, f**k!!! "Honesty" was a real stunner and I can see why it's gonna be a massive challenge for Jake & Kelly to win out over it. But Kelly's voice, as this song proves, is better 20 years into her career than it has ever been and this song is just marvelous. Everything about it is amazing and I can't BELIEVE it is not all over the radio right now, because it really should be.

Ingrid Andress - “Both” (D3vin44, #1) vs. Julien Baker - “Hardline” (Kyle #6) Listening to this album ASAP

Freddie Gibbs f/ ScHoolboy Q - “Gang Signs” (MoD, #1) vs. Carly Pearce - “Should’ve Known Better” (Bigfan101, #6) Carly's 29 EP is just incredible. Every song on it is phenomenal.


Library additions/future personal chart appearances: "Close To You," "Remember That Night?", "Honesty," and likely something from Julien Baker
