Match L8.1:

Faces - "Ooh La La"

Match L8.2:

Stereolab - "French Disko"

Faces and Simone

Faces and Nina

The Verlaines and Nina Simone.

More than easy for the two.

The Verlaines - "Death and the Maiden"

Nina Simone - "Sinner Man"


First one was sort of a toss-up for me.

Sad to have to vote against the immaculate "French Disko", but it never had a chance against Nina.

The Verlaines and Nina Simone

Definitely Ooh La La and French Disko.

Match L8.1 Winner: The Verlaines - "Death and the Maiden"

Both fun songs. But the Verlaines easily take it for a freaky, interesting sound.

Match L8.2 Winner: Stereolab - "French Disko"

With all due respect to Ms. Simone, this was no contest. Great drive and economy from Stereolab.

Both matches were close throughout!

The Verlaines - "Death and the Maiden": 6
Faces - "Ooh La La": 4

Nina Simone - "Sinner Man": 6
Stereolab - "French Disko": 4
