The day I was born, Michael Jackson's Thriller album was at the top of the Billboard 200. I've been trying my best to live up to that expectation ever since.

LTDMT 256: Division L, Day 2

Posted on March 4, 2011 by g-mo

Lotta storylines for these match-ups. Will upstart play-in survivor Fiona Apple be able to floss with the King of Soul and his San Francisco lament? (clearly what she is wondering about in this picture) Will Van the Man survive to make … Continue reading →

LTDMT 256: Division K, Day 2 Results

Posted on March 4, 2011 by g-mo

Two upsets this round. And the high score goes to an unexpected contender that, along with Jacob, reminds us that Marconi was a radio dude that has a statue on Telegraph Hill in San Francisco. 6 seed Jefferson Starship’s (Starship? Jefferson … Continue reading →

LTDMT Round of 256: Division L, Day 1

Posted on March 3, 2011 by g-mo

I find every single one of these four match-ups extremely compelling…even the 1-16 seed. These are gonna take some attempted temporal flexibility from all of us- three of these are from completely different decades. But to balance it out, one … Continue reading →

LTDMT 256 Division K, Day 1 Results

Posted on March 3, 2011 by g-mo

Not. To. Be. Denied. Standing with one foot on their surfboards, and suffering an extremely polarized round of voting from everyone involved (on a binary basis, 7 for, 6 against, one tie,) the Beach Boys emerge from the Pacific triumphant … Continue reading →

LTDMT Round of 256: Division K, Day 2

Posted on March 2, 2011 by g-mo

Anyone remember the hype about Michael Jackson’s “Black or White” music video starring Macaulay Culkin? And how they played the entire uncensored version after the 1992 Super Bowl, where MJ turns into a panther at the end, and then just randomly … Continue reading →

LTDMT 256, Division J Day 2 Results

Posted on March 2, 2011 by g-mo

Hail the covers! Maybe the Isley Brothers (of “Who’s that Lady” and “Contagious” fame) did the original “Twist and Shout”, but the Beatles took it up many notches and seem to have cranked out a little contender for our contest. … Continue reading →

LTDMT 256: Division K, Day 1

Posted on March 1, 2011 by g-mo

New division, new field, etc. There aren’t really words for genre specificity in these match-ups, things are all over the place. I guess of major note, we’ve got both the Sex Pistols and Rancid trying to punk their ways past high … Continue reading →

LTDMT Round of 256 Division J: Day 1 Results

Posted on March 1, 2011 by g-mo

Who are the Clash? Apparently the second artist in the Round of 256 to claim victories in two match-ups in one day. Except whereas Johnny Cash did it with a 2 and a 3 seed, the London boys did it … Continue reading →

LTDMT 256: Division I, Day 2 Results

Posted on February 28, 2011 by g-mo

The nailbiter here was a Boss-Dylan stand-off. Bruce was going strong, then Danno and mdub came in late with +5 and +2 votes for Bobby…which still wasn’t enough to prevent the Born In The USA win. Springsteen claims the only … Continue reading →

Music Tournament 256: Division J, Day 2

Posted on February 28, 2011 by g-mo

Good to be back in the driver’s seat again. Some good songs coming up next to finish up J. MarkB has been absent but will hopefully reemerge for the Jakob Dylan-Lady Gaga throw-down. Also, I personally feel JB got a … Continue reading →
