Apparently so. Reverted to BCB really quickly.

I think it has been really good so far - a mix of things from old to new, lots of different styles.

I've got to admit I was a little disappointed with the quality of round two, although these things are subjective of course, I enjoyed more of the round one ties, but I think the rounds will improve. I agree with you about the variety and most of the stuff picked is new to the competition and pretty fresh, people have made an effort to dig a little deeper I think. Of course in doing that that, you'll get criticism that they're foregoing good stuff for obscurity, so you can't win really!

Oh, and we definitely need more clips that have a 7" single in the picture for 2-3 minutes, so we can really savour those labels.

You can never please everyone all the time, even just the 20-30 people taking part in this thing. That's why i always say be true to yourself when picking a list, and no matter what happens you can hold your head high. It was quite liberating picking Steph's songs, i must say. I was having these converstaions with her in my head, just like i used to over the years when we chatting by PMs about the Cups and our lists. I picked stuff that she liked/loved whether i would have put it on my own list or not, like a curator organising an 8 song collection that said "Loki". I hope she is smiling up there.

One of my picks is doing well, so the cup is a roaring success, providing a showcase for the brilliant and diverse tastes of the board's members.
One of my picks isn't doing well, so the cup is a miserable failure, proving once again that everyone else on here is a moron with rotten taste, who can't tell the difference between good music and a pile of dogshit.

Well, my first round track almost won, but is losing slightly to an abomination of a track..Good with the bad , I guess..I'm in time out for round 2..
And for screwing with my attempted no abstention rule for this cup, that Megadeth draw can fuck right off..

getting really fed up with the voting.
i think a lot of posters are using the cup to make a 'hipper than thou' statement, rather than voting for the better songs.

hip? I'll have you know that I am wearing "Tony the Tiger" boxers and eating a hard-boiled egg even as we speak. ask people who have known me since Grade Skool. "hip" was never really an option for me.

i think too many posters try to guess who selected the track rather than deciding on whether it's actually any good or not.
it's why i've shied away from selecting obscure freakbeat this year, not that i'm being rewarded for it.

It's great to see so many making the effort to comment. I agree with G about that.
Unfortunately a lot of the comments are DAFT
