Re: Round 1 Match 10
So-so lists - A has the irritating Monochrome Set, a highly dislikeable Waits bellow, and Nick Cave in appalling yes-I-can-be-sincere-too mode.
B has that slimy Bowie thing again but it's saved by one of Miles' most beautiful tracks and a cracker from Big Youth. I think a couple of others are decent, too, altho' how I'm supposed to know for sure is beyond me.
again it goes to

Not mega on either, but Sleater-Kinney will usually win me over

Re: Round 1 Match 10
Kendrick Lamar has BCB Cup arrived after this and the last match. I hope the lack of links doesn't count against B as the picks have great light and shade and are by and large definitely My Thing.

Re: Round 1 Match 10
All of A is at least good, with the exceptions of the atonal Waits and the Mooney Suzuki (hopefully picked for the name, 'cause the track's quite dull). In particular nice eccentric Cohen pick and two things (Motors and Monochrome Set) that I liked more than I expected to.
Is it fair to punish B for the lack of links? Despite the nice Dylan and Melvin picks, I'm voting yes. Maybe if they picked stuff that intrigued me enough to dig deeper. But Sleater Kinney ain't gonna do it for me.

Yep, good analysis, two excellent lists, but B for me in this one.
It's before my time but I've been told, he never came back from Karangahape Road.

Re: Round 1 Match 10
Not sure which versions of some of these B wants us to hear.....the first Dylan one I clicked on was an old man talking to the camera.....I like the Lamar, Weeknd, and MD. (lol Howard Melvin)
Despite not being a Waits or Cohen fan, there's more for me to like on

Re: Round 1 Match 10
Apart from the fabulous 'Sexopolis' - which was on my short-list too - A is mostly just ok for me. B is playing with the stronger cards overall, but doesn't suck me in completely either. Will be interested to see where he/she goes if they get through.

Re: Round 1 Match 10
B is quite the good list actually, although the lack of links might bite it in the bum if a particularly lazy voter wants to listen to it for reference.
And why is the Bowie "slimy" John? Surely we can dispense with this negative look shit about anyone that picks one of his songs? I don't look at this thing as a ploy, just a tribute.

Re: Round 1 Match 10
Lazy effort by B, I'm too busy with stuff this week to investigate your songs.
A gets my vote, despite Tom Waits.
I can't believe how much I enjoyed your Leonard Cohen track, pleasantly suprised, nice sax. The Monochrome Set and The Motors were ok choices too.

Re: Round 1 Match 10
I saw The Mooney Suzuki once, they were just as bad live as on record. Why have yet another lumpen 60s retro band, and choose that name?
Anyway, despite that, A wins, because of the majesty of The Monochrome Set, a nice Tindersticks-influenced track by Lenny, and a decent bit o' Nick.

Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.

Re: Round 1 Match 10
Some good things in A – and the Monochrome Set strike again.
However, B has a great Dylan pick, my favourite David Bowie track - so slimy - and the Big Youth is a monster too.

Re: Round 1 Match 10
Not sure why everyone has a downer on that Waits track. Orphans has some great stuff and this is pretty good.
The Miles track is great of course but oh look Bowie AGAIN. I could happily lose Nick Cave from A but otherwise it is speaking to me more
