First of all, sorry for the late post. When I’m doing my days of admin, I think I need to switch the deadlines from evening to morning to work with my internet access schedule. We can switch back to night or whatever Nos wants to do when we get to Division F, but for now expect two full days and nights, with results due at 9:00 AM the next morning.

Now, results:

Like A Rolling Stone, as predicted, exploded all over Personality Crisis, 109.75-72 and logged the top score for the day.

Louie Louie and Everyday People are arguably equals in their contemporaneous importance in rock n’ roll history- including the cool fact that the FBI launched an investigation into the potential obscenity of the lyrics to Louie Louie. Check this quote from Wikipedia: “In June 1965, the FBI laboratory obtained a copy of the Kingsmen recording and, after two years of investigation, concluded that the recording could not be interpreted, that it was “unintelligible at any speed,”^[6] and therefore the Bureau could not find that the recording was obscene.” This fact alone makes me happy about the outcome: the Kingsmen triumph 96.5-79.5.

The funky, more recent MGMT entry “Kids” brought a lot to the match-up, but in the end couldn’t get over the John Fogarty hump- Looking Out My Back Door takes this one, 107.5-92. Also of note: we’ve had a smattering of 10’s here and there, but none from two voters from the same song in the Round of 256 until today. The Catholic and adam both gave LOMBD 10’s, so it earns a place on the Wall.

Last, closest match-up of the day was Blowin’ In The Wind vs. New Year’s Day. Bob Dylan takes this one also, 105.2-95.

Out of the tournament: New York Dolls, Sly & The Family Stone, and MGMT. U2 starts the Round of 256 0-1, with six entrants still remaining.
