A lot of tied matches to vote in.

One tied match from two weeks ago is in 'Experimental tiebreaker' phrase. That is, Laika vs The Fall.

To reiterate what I said in the other thread. Everybody gets ten points for the entire tournament. You can spend as many points as you want. If your album wins, you lose those points. If your album loses, you get them back.

Please send experimental tiebreaker votes to AMModeratePoll@gmail.com. If you can see other peoples' votes it gives an advantage to later voters.

Now, tiebreakers from last week, where next vote wins:

Tubeway Army - Replicas vs
Queen - Sheer Heart Attack

Pere Ubu - Dub Housing vs
Marillion - Misplaced Childhood

The Associates - Fourth Drawer Down vs
Julee Cruise - Floating Into The Night

All four are pretty much albums I like against albums I think are okay.

1. Serge Gainsbourg - Initials B.B.
2. Cat Power - Moon Pix (shame the two best albums of the week are up against eachother)
3. Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams
4. Roxy Music - Country Life
5. Sparklehorse - Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot
6. Ol Dirty Bastard - Return To The 36 Chambers
7. Stereolab - Dots and Loops

On 2 uneven albums, I have to go with "l'homme à la tête de chou"

Division 3:

Modest Mouse - The Lonesome Crowded West

Division 4:

Sparklehorse - Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot

Dots and Loops is rather disappointing compared with Emperor Tomato Ketchup and Vivadixie is a personal fav which I'm glad can still reveal some beauty I had not noticed... I listen to Cow non stop since round 1

Hey Bill, I'm going to be traveling in June but I'd still love to vote during those four weeks and I don't know if I'll have access to the internet in all hostels, so if it's possible could you give me a contact email so I can send you my votes ahead of time? I know it's a little early but I wanna get these things in order ahead of time.

Also, am I correct in assuming that if I leave June 4th and return July 1st that I will miss two weeks of round 2 (game 71 and 72) and two weeks of round 3 (game 97 and 98)? If so I think I'll be able to vote after this week.

Yeah, you can send me votes ahead of time. Just use AMModeratePoll@gmail.com.

I believe that's correct, you'll miss the last two of round two and first two of round three.

It's okay. This tiebreaker is just an experiment, if it doesn't work out we'll just go back to the regular sudden-death tiebreaks.

Right now the Associates/Julee Cruise tiebreak is also still open.

3 hours left to vote. One of the matches is very close and the other three are blowouts. Plus there's still the Associates/Julee Cruise tiebreaker.
