Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes have made the Sweet 16. Next stop, Quarterfinals, unless John Prine has something to say about it.

I had to update this post repeatedly, as events on the ground kept shifting.  Man on Fire overcame a week Tuesday to post glitzy Wednesday numbers.  John Prine and the Great Lake Swimmers likewise pulled away as the hour grew late.  Johnny Cash blew a sizable lead, but held on in the end.

Pulling on a Line (Great Lake Swimmers) def. Sequestered in Memphis (Hold Steady),  92.7-84.1.

Get Rhythm (Johnny Cash) def. Cry to Me (Solomon Burke), 97.5-96.3.

Man on Fire (Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes) def. Tickle Me Pink (Johnny Flynn), 97.9-76.6.

Long Monday (John Prine) def.  Heaven (Walkmen), 82-80.3 .
