Week 31 sees us move to bracket W5 for our first semifinal, which features songs that won each of their first 5 matches. The winner receives an automatic berth in the final! The loser will compete in the other semifinal in a few weeks.

Please listen to the songs before making your choice, and provide comments (however brief) to form the basis of your pick.

The deadline for Week 29 is 11:59 PM, January 30th AM time.

You can read the descriptions of why these songs were nominated in the rules thread.

Match W5

Lal Waterson & Oliver Knight - "Flight of the Pelican"
Curtis Mayfield - "Right on for the Darkness"

Flight of the Pelican!

RIght on for the Darkness

Real tough; Flight is more my kind of song, but Right On is so fucking powerful.

Curtis.

Curtis Mayfield of course.

Curtis Mayfield - "Right on for the Darkness"

Curtis Mayfield - "Right on for the Darkness"

Curtis

Curtis, of course.

Surprising and deserved run for the stately beauty by Waterson and Knight, but the great Mayfield takes this one by several lengths.

Oooph, Right On For The Darkness. That's an amazing song.

Curtis Mayfield. Billadama may have been the only thing standing in the way of a shutout.

Hey, Moonbeam, sorry for coming too late to this great game (but better late than never). The Waterson & Knight song is beautiful, but the Curtis one is truly amazing. Curtis, please.

Moonbeam, how are things going with this? I feel we're so close to finishing!
