That'll be here tomorrow! Don't forget- the voting finishes at that time as well because I put up the ties on Fridays now.

Unintended consequences, though- the ties are often listed out of numerical order, whilst people are voting and commenting, and it makes my thumbs itch with OCD-ness.

Thoroughly enjoying it, however ( the Cup, not the thumbs )

I should have gone for ubiquity. Will end up coming last in my group the way I'm going.

I've got whatever the opposite of that is. I hate linearity and will often deliberately vote out of order.

I predict that the verdict after the end of this Cup will be "The 80s: Not As Good As We Thought They Were"

:)
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

80% are in my music library and have been listened to often enough in the past 30 some years that they don't need a thorough listening through again at this stage for me to know exactly what I think/feel about them. This is my decade, and the bulk of my collection is from 1977 to 1992.

When I don't know it, I do listen to it. That remaining 20% have typically either been paired up with stuff that I hated so I immediately preferred the new, less noxious track, or they've come up against a personal favorite...so the decision is fairly quick. There have only been three matches since the start of this thing that warranted a lengthy play-off between them...

And then of course there are the matches where both tracks are just horrible drek inflicted on us by the insane.
