Have you said why the top 3 and last place are in Italics? I gather there'll be a play-off, but you're not gonna say much about it till we get there, yes?

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Yes, wait and see.

The last place italics have nothing to do with the top three italics, incidentally.

Damn, still tenth despite a win this week!

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

You've got infov0re in your sights though!

[infov0re.livejournal.com]

boo, hiss. that was because i wasn't playing last week. and this week's going to be a bit of a gamble. but i WILL return to above the halfway point! promise!

The Cascading Koganbot Teen Of Pop Counterrankings

[koganbot]

The Cascading Koganbot Teen Of Pop Counterrankings as of April 23, 2007. While lockedintheatti watches helplessly from the sidelines, martinskidmore swoops into first, riding the Ad Libs' "Giving Up" to victory (the song sampled on the Hairy Diamond track). Another triumph for the '60s. (To remind you how this works: a track scores 0 points if I knew it already, 1 point if it makes it onto one of my "Listen To These A Lot" playlists, 3 points if it makes it onto a "Put This On A Mixtape" playlist. Tracks can jump or fall at any time until League play ends.)

martinskidmore 7 points (Irma Thomas, Hairy Diamond, Ultraviolence)
lockedintheatti 5 points (Michaela Melian, Faye Wong, Nachlader)
dubdobdee 5 points (BarobaX, The Gentle People, Jeff Mills)
infov0re 5 points (Ben Watt, Trentemoller, Fields)
poptasticuk 4 points (S.H.E., Linda Sundblad)
inhibitorylinks 4 points (Edo Maajka, Utada Hikaru)
hauntedballroom 3 points (Behorkestrar Bakija Bacik from Vranje)
braisedbywolves 3 points (Asian Dub Foundation, Xinlisupreme, Eve)

Good to know someone liked my Antena track!

I'm surprised (and relieved) that last week's loss only pushed me down to third. Fingers crossed for this week.

Missed my chance to take a share of the lead, and we are not at all confident about this week...

Re: Argh

[lockedintheatti.livejournal.com]

I'm quite pleased I managed to give very few points to the other people near the top of the championship this week - although like you I am not at all confident about this week. It didn't help that I don't think I'd even heard of any of the bands mentioned by skillextric, which is never a good start.

[piratemoggy.livejournal.com]

The problem is, I'm just not sure that I want to move off the bottom now, because it would be better to lose gloriously than end up in the middle. Possibly. I know this is not the point of the game at all but still. :D
