@ Nick, just so I'm clear, your strikethrough method is to cross off which songs you're eliminating rather than highlighting your winners, correct?

^Yeah, I got it. It seems like you let each round go roughly two days so that's what I'm gonna do, and if there are any ties, I might hold out a few more hours for stragglers. Any other advice from your experience of running these things?

(Frankly, I thought this would be less confusing than bolding my votes. ) Haha well it technically would be, but bolding has become an established norm for the brackets. I wasn't sure if at three in the morning you accidentally went with strikethroughs instead of bolds. It was a long shot, but I gotta make sure I get this right, yanno? Artie is evaluating my competence. |

You know you've hit rock bottom when that's a condition of your existence. Well with that, and the fact that in combination with that fact that I'm four hours late in posting round 2, I better post the next round's match-ups before I sink any lower. They're coming soon, I just have to modify this post with them. mjb's votes included, here are the final tallies. Next round comin' in a jiffy. Jet wins 10-1 Violet Hill wins 7-4 Stupid Girl wins 6-5 So Cold wins 9-2 Evans Blue wins 8-2 Crossfade wins 7-4 AFI wins 8-3 Three Days Grace wins 9-2 |

^The band is COLDplay. :) And the first line is "Was a long and dark December, from the rooftops I remember there was snow, white snow." I knew I was going to put two Coldplay songs in the tournament, and with the title of "Shiver," that was a given. Then I remembered the lyrics to "Violet Hill" and that made my decision easy. Choosing which two Cold songs and which two Cold War Kids songs to include was a lot more arbitrary, but "Just Got Wicked" has a line about "everything frozen in ice." And "Stupid Girl" was their biggest hit, and I imagined that the girl was cold to him or he wouldn't have felt the way he did.

Good man choosing Evans Blue. That's why I like you, good buddy. I've liked all of Evans Blue's albums, including the newest one without Matisyn and about half of Crossfade's self-titled was pretty good as well, but I actually took "Falling Away" out my CD collection recently because I realized that it's just so damn boring overall. I'm really hoping "We All Bleed" isn't anything near similar. |
