Talk about people doing weird straining things with their voice....at least Thomas's matches the bending strings on the guitar.
Costello romps through a healthily busy track with some aplomb but comes decidedly second to

Re: 70s Cup Round 8 Match 13
Ok, it's time to fess up - apart from a handfull of songs, i don''t really like EC's music. There are some i like and some i love, and the rest just leave me cold. I KNOW he is a good songwriter, but a lot of the records just leave me cold and A is amonst them. B is strange and unusual in a good way and wins here.

Re: 70s Cup Round 8 Match 13
The more I hear Pere Ubu in this Cup, the less impressed I am by them. Costello gets short shift on here normally but I’m a fan of this era and that’s a fairly typical winner.

One of the better match ups this cup has spewn forth. A though.

a - I was all over the Attractions 40 years ago, thought they were a great band, acquired a large collection. I don't feel that way any more, although I could still listen to some of the poppier stuff. I don't remember this one particularly, and I don't think much of it. Nah, it's a mess. 2.5 / 10
b - 'Experimental' rock that shares a title (maybe a theme, my usual problems with hearing the words) with a German Expressionist art film of the 1920s - now that's what I call music. That's some dreamy guitar going on there, sounds like Robbie Krieger. Can't say I love this, by any means – my dark heart is with the Hearthan singles and Modern Dance - but it's an easy winner here. 4.5 /10

Let U be the set of all united sets, K be the set of the kids and D be the set of things divided.
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D
