Paj! Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 RULES; Basically, 63 (and one randomly chosen song) tracks have been nominated by our forum members to go head to head against one another. All matches have been ranomly decided using a number randomizer thingie, sp it's fair. 1. Before voting for which song you choose, you MUST listen to both songs in FULL. If you see a band you love against an unknown, that is not an excuse to instantly vote for that band. Another point of this whole game is to expose new music to people. Base it truthfully on your favourite, not on who you THINK'll be your favourite. 2. No flaming, not that I imagine there will be. 3. If all 3 of your choices are knocked out, please continue to post! You agreed to do so by nominating. Plus it's good for expanding musical horizons. 4. have fun, it's a game blah blah JUST VOTE. 5. ATM, i'm going at 2 threads created a day, one closed a day. Or actually just 1 open, 1 closed. Whatever. ----- MATCH 14 Art Bitch (Single Mix?) - Cansei De Ser Sexy (OR CSS) Such Great Heights - The Postal Service ---- Match 1: Led Zeppelin vs. Train Match 2: Faith No More vs. Oasis Match 3: Sigur Ros vs. Foreign Beggars Match 4: Maximum The Hormone vs. Santana Match 5: Avril Lavigne vs. Lady GaGa Match 6: Radiohead vs. Polysics Match 7: Jeff Buckley vs. Kings Of Leon Match 8: Lamb vs. Iron Maiden Match 9: Malcolm Middleton vs. Rihanna Match 10: Blondie vs. Regina Spektor Match 11: The Offspring vs. Bauhaus Match 12: Tegan & Sara vs. TV On The Radio Match 13: Placebo vs. Britney Spears Match 14: ?

Razz Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Ah ok when I nominated Art Bitch, this wasn't the version I had in mind. This one sounds completely different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paj! Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 Ah ok when I nominated Art Bitch, this wasn't the version I had in mind. This one sounds completely different. Right...I heard a version on Youtube that wasn't the actual one, so I assume you meant the real one. I'll change it to whatever the remix was then. (The real one is better imo) EDIT: God what a shitty remix of a good song. Album version ftw..but that's not what was nominated. I love CSS, but Postal Service's song is way better than this crappy mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairdriver Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Ah ok when I nominated Art Bitch, this wasn't the version I had in mind. This one sounds completely different. Curious as to what your Art Bitch sounds like, since that video is the album version, and the version they play live... I'm still deciding.

ReZourceman Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Easy peasy yo. Such Great Heights - The Postal Service awesome song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razz Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Yeah that's the one Paj. Hehe sorry to crap all over it but that's the version I fell in love with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairdriver Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 HMMMMMMMM.... I'm like the biggest CSS fan you'll ever meet, but I'm not feeling it. This version of Art Bitch has nothing on the original. I like the guitar riff, but then the really bad synth during the chorus makes the whole song sound shit. I much prefer the album version, and would vote for it if it were the album version in question. This was the first time I've ever listened to Postal Service, and while not my prefered cup of tea, I liked it. Vote: Postal Service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razz Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Well that's fair enough. I got the album after hearing a few downloaded tracks, and had already grown fond of the non-album version. I absolutely adored CSS back last year. And to be honest their simple synth touches were part of what I loved, especially in Fuck Off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razz Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Right, listened to the other one, and it's Art Bitch for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twozzok Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Postal Service That CSS song was horrendously badly mixed. I know it's youtube quality but god damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EchoDesiato Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I really liked The Postal Service's song, I should check them out. The CSS song was pretty bad, I must say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganepark32 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Postal Service gets my vote. I've listened to a bit of CSS before but didn't really like that version there. Honestly can't remember much about their music so I need to go back and look into it. But that Postal Service song was good. Catchy, nice tune to it. Very simple but just complex enough to keep your attention. Will probably end up listening to it all of tomorrow on my day off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 Razzi...this is slightly annoying, as you can tell people will be put off by this mix for life, when it's actually not representative of them at all. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan-likes-trees Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Jees, the CSS remix wasn't that bad! Still, im easily going for Postal Service. I practically came when it was played on top gear the other night. Id be most happy to see it win the whole tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairdriver Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Yeah, to be fair the CSS remix has a lovely intro, and the vocals are arguably better slowed down and made more clear - it's just the really bad synth during the chorus that ruins it for me. I'm going to change my vote to CSS, since on hindsight, it's lovely. I love the end of the remix actually, like if they had actually recorded it you can imagine Lovefoxxx shouting "ARTBITCH!" at random points.

Mr_Odwin Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Such Great Heights - The Postal Service is far superior to my ears, even if it does have a very slight Pet Shop Boys feel to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 The Postal Service is the clear winner for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The fish Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Postal Service, by a mile. A song I like enough to nominate vs a bad remix of a song I already didn't like, it's really not a hard choice for me. Still, im easily going for Postal Service. I practically came when it was played on top gear the other night.Id be most happy to see it win the whole tournament. Same here, it seems people from Harpenden have something in common...
