For all of the above tracks, there was more of this that I liked, than I didn’t. Come on in to Round 2.
For the below,
Zydar:
10cc/Art for Art's sake – sorry... I’ll probably continue to listen to this, and eventually think exactly as I did with Gloria... super fun tune, and I feel bad for scoring it low.
SirGuitarCozmo:
Smithereens/Behind the Wall of Sleep – Good track, just there was a lot more that was better.
senecadawg2:
Coheed and Cambria/Welcome Home – you’re forgiven, but this tune wasn’t up to snuff.
Which leaves us with zook:
Touchstone/The Witness (Pts 1 & 2)
I hear greatness in this song, and I am very intrigued by Touchstone. The song itself will probably sound better with age. So for that, you get a second chance.
To those that were on the cut line... you’ve got a bit of a hole to dig out of. At most, 10 will participate in the main competition, and the competition is stiffer than grandpa with an empty bottle of Cialis. You really need to wow me, or hope that one of the other tend lays a steamy turd this round.
Round 2 is open for business. As I mentioned originally, due to holidays and such, results will be posted no later than Jan 4th... but if you're all as prompt as you were first round, earlier.
