BCB Cup 2013 - First Round - Match 19 - Copehead beheaded!

[brassneck..]

B

[Davey the Fat Boy]

After playing most of the tracks- B.

[BlueMeanie]

A

[the masked man]

Two decent lists, but I like A more.

A

[Beno]

B

[funky_nomad]

backed up with the mighty Spitfire (this year's favourite pick?)

I've not even noticed it elsewhere, but what a great track.

Their War Room EP was my favourite record of last year, and they're a terrific live band too. I'd urge anyone who can to get to one of their shows promoting their debut album this spring.

Hype over.

[pcqgod]

List A is one of those lists, common in this competition, that shows a fairly deep knowledge of cool music but which fails to interest me/bores me, SRC and Lesley Gore notwithstanding.

B has that great Lee Moses song and overall engages me more.

B

[Neige]

This is tough, both are nicely varied, with a lot of pleasant and/or exciting stuff. But in the end, it must be

B

In spite of the godawful Drivers Seat

[der nister]

b

[Buddha B-Rex]

I'm going with B. I wish I had more time for analysis in this round of matches, but I feel comfortable with my choice.

[Nikki Gradual]

You can't accuse B of not having variety, but the list swings like an out of control pendulum, almost as if it is a parody at times. Which makes it all more embarrassing that I liked it so much.

But I still liked A more.

[The Modernist]

Another double vote.

[Tapiocahead]

At least he's voting for the same list each time.

[the masked man]

I've deleted my second vote. This one's pretty close, but as I've got the same result from two different methods, I'm confident enough to call it; A 31, B 34. A was Copehead, who can feel unlucky to have lost this one. Oh, and B should send me 5 new songs.

[Loki]

Can't believe this one. I liked A twice as much as B.

Sick burn, dude.

[watts]

Sorry copehead! You had some great stuff on there.

[Copehead]

Aw shit

I even put in stuff I'd googled this time like:

Blue eyed soul floor filler

just so I'd get Moddy's vote

I haven't got a fuckin clue who Bob Barrett and his Conchords are

Next time it is back to the themed lists

[Copehead]

Sorry copehead! You had some great stuff on there.

True

people who vote against Sigur Ros and John Holt have a special place in hell waiting for them where they'll have to listen to shit all day

[Copehead]

Very personal and uncompromising lists, neither (seemingly) played with winning this thing in mind.

A by a pretty small margin.

Bollocks John

I put that list together only with winning in mind

I need to have a rethink obviously

[Copehead]

Mood Six and Cock Sparrow..? Solarskope must be the only person on earth to dig both of those. I was convinced he must have entered through another competitor..but thern I saw Monaco, which he certainly wouldn't put on any list. So it's a loony then..but a loony who picks a fantastic Lee Moses track and a genuinely inspired left field choice in that semi-forgotten Sniff n' The Tears track, the kind of radio hit you forget about until someone nominates it in a competition like this. It was good to hear it again.
All of which leaves A looking rather conventional, although it's put together in a way that will see it win this one reasonably comfortably.

EDIT: I've played more of A's links. It's actually very good indeed and deserves to go further, though I'll be a little sad to see B go.

A

The ultimate insult

I got Geraint's vote and still lost
