Hard hard hard....pffff....Tubeway Army by a little.
Division 2:
Brian Eno - Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) vs
WINNER - Serge Gainsbourg - Initials B.B.
Harder than the first division. I choose Gainsbourg because it's mine and I love all the songs of the album but The Eno's one is fabulous. Two of my favorites of this game.
Division 3:
WINNER - Pere Ubu - Dub Housing vs
Roxy Music - Country Life
Two average alums for me, but two I love.
Division 4:
Julee Cruise - Floating Into The Night vs
WINNNER Sparlkehorse - Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot
Very easy this time.
Eno needs to pull through this week against a tough opponent for me to have any shot at the hipster cup.
The Hipster Cup is based on points from the 'Best discovered album' poll the week after the tournament is done. The idea is, it goes to the person responsible for the most good discoveries.
Division 1: Tubeway Army - Replicas
Division 2: Serge Gainsbourg - Initials B.B.
