Match L6.1 Winner: Nick Nicely - "Hilly Fields"
Nice to vote for "Hilly Fields." I like the song, but feel like it always seems to be up against a song I like better. Not this time.
Match L6.2 Winner: The Walker Brothers - "The Electrician"
Creates quite the sinister mood.
Match L6.3 Winner: Prince - "Crystal Ball"
Not excited about either, but Prince has many more interesting moments in his mess.
Match L6.4 Winner: Stereolab - "French Disko"
Best song of the week by far. I also like "Homme," but not like I love Stereolab.
Siouxsie and the Banshees - "Dazzle" wins over Nick Nicely - "Hilly Fields" - neither song thrilled me, but they were enjoyable enough. Pretty close call for me.
Match L6.2:
Faces - "Ooh La La" wins over The Walker Brothers - "The Electrician" in the closest match of the week for me. The pop of Faces wins over the more contemplative effort of the Walker Brothers. If I had to decide next week, this vote could be different.
Match L6.3:
Nirvana - "Rainbow Chaser" wins over
Prince - "Crystal Ball" in another close match. I admire Prince's adventurous effort, but there were too many portions that I simply didn't enjoy.
Match L6.4:
Stereolab - "French Disko" wins over Brazilian Girls - "Homme"
Nick Nicely - "Hilly Fields": 5
Siouxsie and the Banshees - "Dazzle": 3
This was pretty close throughout the week, but Nick Nicely had too much in the end. I nominated "Dazzle", and while I'm sad to see it depart, I'm very, very happy it made the top 12 and that it went out to another wonderful song.
Match L6.2:
The Walker Brothers - "The Electrician": 3 Faces - "Ooh La La": 4
This one went the distance. Henry's late vote swung it in favor of Faces.
Match L6.3:
Nirvana - "Rainbow Chaser": 3 Prince - "Crystal Ball": 4
Another close vote, with Prince having just enough to make the final 8.
While Stereolab has gained a lot of momentum, it has been a quick fall from grace for "Homme", which won its first 3 matches but was blown out in its last two.
