Welcome to Day 12. If you’re feeling worn down, consider this- Day 12 will be the last day before we start featuring your songs- the recommendations of the voters and listeners. Hear them all on Grooveshark, cast your votes, below, on Facebook, or by emailing LTDdotorg@gmail.com
Sample in a Jar (Phish) vs. Peaches (Presidents of the United States)
Sweet Emotions (Aerosmith) vs. It’s the Same Old Song (Four Topps). This was a last minute substitution for Tubthumping, which I got the sense that you were all gonna hate. Oh well, it’s a fun song. Four Topps deserve a second shot in the tournament though.
Paradise (John Prine) vs. Country Roads (John Denver). For some Biloxians, this is a cruel match-up, but musically it makes sense.
Friend of the Devil (Grateful Dead) vs. Second Hand News (Fleetwood Mac)
Shoop (Salt N Pepa) vs. Drunk Girls (LCD Soundsystem)
Stay tuned, because in the next 24 hours I will be releasing the first set of 32 song divisions for the 512 song round. After working through some of the so-so maybe hits of the last week, those lists will be mouth-watering.
Time to start putting my vote to good use:
Sample in a Jar (Phish) -0 vs. Peaches (Presidents of the United States) 10. I don’t give a shit what song is up against phish. I’d give a muzac track a ten over those mother fuckers. (Trey Anasasio almost ran me over with his Audi and blamed me even though he was driving backwards against the light the wrong way down a one way street that was closed for a street fair. I hope he burns in hell, or worse, that he’s forced to endure one of his own shows).
Sweet Emotions (Aerosmith) 10 vs. Tubthumping (Chumbawumba) 0
Paradise (John Prine) 0 vs. Country Roads (John Denver) 10. I like John Prine, but give me a song that has legs like Angel of Montgomery, Sweet Revenge or Illegal Smile. This one is first round cannon fodder.
Friend of the Devil (Grateful Dead) 10 vs. Second Hand News (Fleetwood Mac) 0
Shoop (Salt N Pepa) 10 vs. Drunk Girls (LCD Soundsystem) 0
Are you drunk? This isn’t the measured Jacob Press I know…
I was indeed drunk, but I stand by comments.
Though I think you’re Trey story is hilarious. I was almost run over by Bobby Bonilla when I was a kid…
Sample in a Jar (Phish) vs. Peaches (Presidents of the United States) One of these should have been Possum Kingdom- Toadies. 6:5 Toadies-10
Sweet Emotions (Aerosmith) vs. Tubthumping (Chumbawumba). Seriously? 9:4
Paradise (John Prine) vs. Country Roads (John Denver). Just not one of my favorite Prine songs… 6:7

We can do better. Looking forward to next round, where the real classics that got snubbed get a chance… Only one on this list that is a true classic would be John Denver. Its pretty frustrating watching a kickass song go down to another kickass song only to see an utterly mediocre song beat a terrible song in the same day… Hopefully tomorrow will vindicate us, the participants.
