Just a few minutes from start time, folks.

I have to run out and fix something in a minute but I should be around most of the afternoon. I'm excited as a chicken to defend my title!

Cleptic · « **Reply #3 on:** November 25, 2009, 01:26:27 PM »

Oh man, this is going to be exciting. Thanks for doing this Mike.

I did this. It is like my version of the president pardoning a turkey. I decided to pardon all these turkeys and not have them lose a MHI the day before thanksgiving.

GREG VS GURTMAN

Greg: Sick Sick Birds “Buildings”: I like the way this song came out. 7/10
Gurtman: Mott the Hoople “Sweet Jane”: Huh, I’ve never heard Mott the Hoople do this song. It’s a good song, but nobody does this like Lou R. 6/10

Greg wins!

Mike Hall · « **Reply #11 on:** November 25, 2009, 03:18:52 PM »

CLEPTIC VS MICHELOB

Cleptic: Sick Sick Birds “Buildings”: I like the way this song came out. 7/10
Michelob: Witches with Dicks “Die Painfully”: This sounds a lot like a D4 song that Paddy or Billy would sing. It’s pretty cool. I think this band had some songs that sounded a little less than D4 and I liked those better. 6/10

Cleptic wins.

BILLY VS AGGRO

Billy: Flamin’ Groovies “Shake Some Action”: This is on the short list of possible SSB covers. I love this song. 10/10
Aggro: Dead Boys “Down in Flames”: This song is so mean. It’s as short as a chicken. Two verses and two choruses. Pretty unfuckwithable. 9/10

Well done, boys. Billy wins that one.

GregM510 · « **Reply #13 on:** November 25, 2009, 03:21:03 PM »

what are the odds, woo for the win

Gurt_man · « **Reply #14 on:** November 25, 2009, 03:25:47 PM »

I like how "Buildings" got pulled in two straight match-ups!

billy · « **Reply #15 on:** November 25, 2009, 03:25:52 PM »

i expect that there will be a good number of SSB pulls in this tourney.

i feel badly for having handed aggro his ass so brutally.

Mike Hall · « **Reply #16 on:** November 25, 2009, 03:27:07 PM »

The station of "Todd" is currently fucked. I'll come back to those matchups.

Gurt_man · « **Reply #17 on:** November 25, 2009, 03:27:28 PM »

And I think we've discussed this before, but I actually kinda prefer the Mott the Hoople rendition of Sweet Jane...Blasphemy!!

Mike Hall · « **Reply #18 on:** November 25, 2009, 03:28:56 PM »

GREG (1-0) VS CLEPTIC (1-0)

Greg: The Creeps “These Walls”: This is pretty cool – just 2 lines and 2 simple chord progressions but there is an undeniable energy. 6/10
Cleptic: Smokey Robinson “Tracks of My Tears”: This is lovely. 10/10

Cleptic remains undefeated.

"TODD" VS GURTMAN (0-1)

”Todd”: All Girl Summer Fun Band “This Will Never End” – This sounds dramatically different from anything I’ve heard from this band. It’s less fun! and much better! 8/10
Gurtman: The Ronettes “(Best Part of) Breaking Up”: They did a good job of realizing that breaking up and making up rhyme. Far from the best Ronettes song. 7/10

"TODD" wins.

Gurt_man · « **Reply #21 on:** November 25, 2009, 03:34:07 PM »

Well fuck, it would appear my goose is cooked!

Cleptic · « **Reply #22 on:** November 25, 2009, 03:36:19 PM »

Hey Mike, do you still give songs from bands you're in an auto 7/10? Just wonder if that's your real score for Buildings or not.

Mike Hall · « **Reply #23 on:** November 25, 2009, 03:37:25 PM »

HANNY VS "TODD" (1-0)

Hanny: Exploding Hearts “Throwaway Style”: I like this one but it’s one of the forgettable ones from the record. Also, hacks. 6/10
”Todd”: No Age “Errand Boy” This kind of sounds like if U2 did a noise rock record. The beginning is like the noise rock version of “where the streets have no name.” Ugh, now they’re singing like they’re in a goddamned monastery. These guys are too smart for their own good. 4/10

Hanny wins.
