Congrats, Brad! I don't know how the parents on this forum do it. I have zero children and I'm still barely able to listen to enough music to keep up with the rest of you in these polls and tournaments. :) I have a failsafe solution : force them. But then they rebel and listen to shite like Ed Shee...

Thank you friends, for all the kind words! I hope the board will appreciate the name we chose for our son: Bowie. A perhaps obvious but nonetheless respectful homage to one of the greatest artists of my lifetime. May our little guy grow up as free in spirit and as unabashed in his pursuit of happine...

Brad

I see it babydoll - probably comparable consumption habits as well... FYI - I will be a little late posting results tomorrow, as my wife and I just brought home our 4th (& last!) child from the hospital where he was born yesterday morning. Things are quite hectic around here, as you may imagine....

Brad

oh shit - i didn't count wrong, i just highlighted the wrong albums. You are correct spiritualized - thank you! (I got it right on the bracket fortunately)

No problem babydoll - we appreciate you checking in & helping out when you can!

They're not; "Metamorphosis" is not a compilation per se, it's a collection of previously unreleased tracks.

By the way guys, I have no problem if you want to tell which albums you nominated. In the past I just posted the lists prior to the tournament but noticed a trend in other polls to NOT reveal the lists. Since no-one replied either way whether they wanted to see them, I played it safe!

Hi friends - I'm running way late today; won't get to update for a few more hours. Feel free to add any last minute votes - in fact, still haven't submitted my own votes so I should probably do that now: 1. Destroyer - Kaputt vs. King Crimson - Red 2. Haim - Days Are Gone vs. Norah Jones - Come Away...

Brad

About 19 hours left to vote!

Brad

Thanks slick!

Kaki takes it!

Brad

if I don't hear from him or get votes from anyone else over the next 24 hours, I will count it as a vote for Kaki King (unless anyone has any strong objections against this).

In truth, I wouldn't count his comment as a vote if it wasn't overtime, but I fear I'm running out of patience...

Brad

slick wrote:Honestly I did not care that much for either of them, but I would give "Everbody Loves You" by Kaki King a 2nd listen...

YO SLICK! Is that a vote for Kaki King or not?

Brad

I would have voted for St. Vincent and would have skipped the final matchup due to lack of interest.... I also would have voted for FMac & Muse. I should start paying a little more attention now that my schedule has loosened up a little. slick - why not listen to the last two and break the tie?!!

I think it's this one.

Yes, that's the one!

Brad

I'll say it again: For overtime match-ups, please do not vote if you have already voted.

(Strange, this has never been an issue before...)

Brad

Oh crap - good call... I got confused by the double-negative.

OK match-up is still on!

Brad

My fear is that there haven’t been a lot of “discoveries” of pre-1950s music for many of the voters from that first poll, so they aren’t likely to participate again, since their lists would look essentially the same. (Of the “Magnificent 7” that Honorio references, only sonofsamiam has posted in th...
