You’re welcome to guess. I already know who sent what, and what pairs with what.

I’ll reveal what the pairings go with later on. Like the first round, I’m not doing First Impressions for Wine Pairings.

 :lol

I was thinking about randomizing the Wine Pairings. So instead of your WP being paired with your Main Entry, it would be paired with a random other Main Entry from that round.

It’s pointless, it’s stupid, it would really piss people off…but it intrigues me nonetheless.

Like I said, probably not gonna happen.

I like the course selections I've prepared too much to do it now, but that would be hilarious for someone to run separately.  Sort of a "white elephant" gift roulette, saddling other participants with ridiculous songs.  Someone should try that sometime.

Do you usually listen to the wine pairings directly after / before their corresponding main course, or separately?

Nah, I listen to just the Main Entries first, then just the Wine Pairings, then both playlists combined with each Main Entry followed by it's respective Wine Pairing.

I wonder what the other Moron Police song got paired with.

It was ME! The whole time!

Gotta say, out of all the < 5 minute songs on that album, The Undersea is a weird choice. Better than The Dog Song, though.

Round 2 results coming Friday. Need a few more listens. The results may shock you.

And once again...

I'll just say now, it's nothing personal.

Google Form will also go out Friday, so now's a good time to review the criteria for the next round.

Been waiting for the salad course... Absolutely love both the salad and the light pairing I chose to go with it. Straying off the Saki just for this course since she most of her stuff will overpower the course.
