BCB Cup 2013 - Round 3 - Match 3 - Tapiocabottom!

[Walk In My Shadow]

A

[Mike Boom]

A is more consistent, B has Pink Frost, but as great as it is its an obvious choice, the Chills have plenty of other great songs, so A

[BlueMeanie]

A

[toomanyhatz]

A totally pulls me back in with the new five. Possibly the best list remaining.

[Penk!]

A is fun, but drops a few bollocks. B is more consistently good, but feels a bit too unexciting. Ah, right now I'm a bit more inclined to go for A.

[B]

A !

[Apollo's Frock]

I scored this equal and wanted to vote B but the addition of Slade made up my mind.

A

[Ranking Ted]

I like both but A gets the nod.

[never/ever]

B is the clear winner here.

[brassneck..]

Close this one - B

[Samoan]

B to rain on A's parade.

[Polishgirl]

I like both but

the one that completely and utterly gets me going ( and how) is B

[kath]

nuthin against B, a fine list i have supported in the past. but i tell ya, i've been A all the way and now it's got sway. ooof. A is for bouncebouncebounce.


A

[purgatory brite]

A

[Jimbly]

A. Shirley Bassey can fuck off

[funky_nomad]

Hmmmmmm - A. But I ain't convinced...

[Ray K.]

Like them both a bit but The Make Up puts B over the top...

[Matty Red Sox]

In an effort to separate these two I'm going to try the Matty RD/Copehead emoticon ranking system.

I'm not sure Matty and Cophead's emoticon method has helped me much here -Fuck you Copehead and Matty!
Two really enjoyable lists and both have an invitation to dj at my party (I'll have one one day!) any time they like. My gut instinct is telling me B because of its moments of real inspiration, although A wins the battle of the new fives.

I was doing the "evoticon" (tm) system and discovered that "a" had added font changes to their list somehow which rendered posting from my iPhone a yellow jacket like quote. I actually got so frustrated I just threw my gut choice out hours later. LOL

[Count Machuki]

Like them both a bit but The Make Up puts {} over the top...

I'm glad to see that track get some love. The Make-Up were excellent.

[mission]

I had the Cutter on my list of tunes to consider. The rest of A does well. A nice mix of old dependables and forgotten favourites.
