I have to publish this a little early- I’ve had a bizarrely fruitful and simultaneously stressful mile-a-minute week, it’s not over yet, and I won’t have internet or free time after now until tomorrow afternoon. I do want to at least make sure you guys have the next round of match-ups though. Votes for E1 are still due at 9 am EST tomorrow, but I won’t get the results up until around noon or so. Votes for these songs are due Sunday at 8 pm (back to nighttime for Janos)- Grooveshark link is here, comment below to vote or e-mail LTDdotorg@gmail.com. Let’s go, music.
#1 The Weight (The Band) vs. #16 Wonderwall (Oasis)
#8 Tonight, Tonight (Smashing Pumpkins) vs. #9 Come On Eileen (Dexy’s Midnight Runners)
#4 Over The Hills and Far Away (Led Zeppelin) vs. #13 Rock And Roll (Velvet Underground)
#5 Suspicious Minds (Elvis Presley) vs. #12 Busted (Ray Charles) I love this match-up. Funny how things work out sometimes.

Wonderwall (Oasis) 4
The Band took a load off my fanny, while Wonderwall made me feel all stabby.
Tonight, Tonight (Smashing Pumpkins) 4
Come On Eileen (Dexy’s Midnight Runners) 7.5
Speaking of making me feel all stabby… Billy Corgin, I can’t wait until you’re out of the tournament so I don’t have to listen to your voice again. Dexy’s Midnight Runners, you made me happy again.
Over The Hills and Far Away (Led Zeppelin) 10
Rock And Roll (Velvet Underground) 3
Over the Hills and Far Away is just awesome, makes me happy every time I hear it. Such a good driving song… Rock and Roll just sounds like warmed over shit. Tinny little instruments, awful vocals, crappy lyrics.
Suspicious Minds (Elvis Presley) 8.5
Busted (Ray Charles) 7.5
Really enjoyed both these songs. Suspicious Minds has aged alot better though…

Busted (Ray Charles) [3] this song is busted.
I still think there’s something a little funky in this grooveshark version of The Weight, like the bass/production is off. If anyone else if having troubles or think it sounded wierd, here’s a mono version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XY_5JOEmFK0

This is going to get interesting if (although I have this feeling it’s going to be when) The Weight has to go up against Son of a Preacherman or Wagon Wheel.
