MEGA-CRITIC COMPETITION SEPTEMBER : THE CLUES

Guess (Deadline = 25th) the highest entry in this month´s Mega-Critic-Top 50-Chart (Publication = 30th) as well as its position (as a tie-breaker) and enter the chance to win that CD & a CD of your own choice (from the Jackpot).

Guesses so far (can be changed until the 25th) :

BillAdama : Why? ´Eskimo Snow´ # 05
SR : Raekwon ´Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, Pt.2´ # 12

At the moment (21st) the situation is :

Entries into the lower half of the Top 50 (in no particular order) :

A Former Bubbler (July & August) wins 10 places
B Former Bubbler (July) wins 18 places
C Former Bubbler (August) wins 47 places
D What a Jugador de Beisbal would say
E What Germans would say for ´Bless You´

Between # 51 and # 60 (in no particular order) :

F Former Bubbler (July & August) wins 5 places
G Wimbledon and the first letter of that famous sport
H Stockholm and the lead singer of that indie band

And another strong Bubbler :

I Grungy Crunchy Shell Squash

Good Luck !!!

Re: MEGA-CRITIC COMPETITION SEPTEMBER : THE CLUES

Raekwon at #9, if he gets enough reviews out of the US.

Re: MEGA-CRITIC COMPETITION SEPTEMBER : THE CLUES

Yo La Tengo - Popular Songs #11

Re: MEGA-CRITIC COMPETITION SEPTEMBER : THE CLUES

Ooh, I know exactly what C is.

I'll switch to it depending on whether Eskimo Snow gets as good reviews as it's post-leak metacritic.com word of mouth indicates.

Re: MEGA-CRITIC COMPETITION SEPTEMBER : THE CLUES

I'll take Raekwon at #7.

Re: MEGA-CRITIC COMPETITION SEPTEMBER : THE CLUES

I'm guessing Pearl Jam - Backspacer, at 13

Re: MEGA-CRITIC COMPETITION SEPTEMBER : THE CLUES

Raekwon #6

Re: MEGA-CRITIC COMPETITION SEPTEMBER : THE CLUES

Big Star - Keep an Eye on the Sky (#1)

Re: MEGA-CRITIC COMPETITION SEPTEMBER : THE CLUES

Eric, Big Star certainly would figure high in the upcoming Mega-Chart, but as it is a box set containing mostly demos, alternate versions and remixes, it does not justify to enter the chart.

Re: MEGA-CRITIC COMPETITION SEPTEMBER : THE CLUES

Raekwon might be # 01 in Meta-Critic at the moment, but so far only 3 of my 8 US-Sources (Pitchfork, Tinymixtapes, Cokemachineflow) have rated that CD, 1 EU-Source (Dagbladet) and none of the UK-Sources. That means up to now, it hasn´t even entered the Mega-Critic-Chart yet.

Re: MEGA-CRITIC COMPETITION SEPTEMBER : THE CLUES

Then I retract Big Star. Instead, I say Richmond Fontaine - We Used to Think the Freeway Sounded Like a River at #12.

Re: MEGA-CRITIC COMPETITION SEPTEMBER : THE CLUES

I'm going for Yo La Tengo's Popular Songs at no. 14.

Re: MEGA-CRITIC COMPETITION SEPTEMBER : THE CLUES

I'll take Japandroids at 17 instead then.

Re: MEGA-CRITIC COMPETITION SEPTEMBER : THE CLUES

Yo La Tengo at 15.

Re: MEGA-CRITIC COMPETITION SEPTEMBER : THE CLUES

I'll change my vote for Girls at #11

Re: MEGA-CRITIC COMPETITION SEPTEMBER : THE CLUES

Guess it's too late to change now. I was going to change to Japandroids. I didn't know Eskimo Snow was an 'also recorded during previous session' album.
