OMG! i only just woke up to the situation!

(it's not impossible that my team may change) (four or five times a day till sunday)

[http://users.livejournal.com/xyzzzz__/]

(ws just listening to a really fantastic record I've come across recently mark - should post an mp3 or two on sukrat, but won't, just in case I decide to use. I expect 3 points off ya :-))


This is looking a bit like the actual premiership title race (well at least till last saturday). I'm a bit like Chelsea chasing away at inhibitorylinks Man Yoo. As an Arsenal supporter I find this to be somewhat upsetting!

Arrgh! Got to fight back to the top!

The other thread should be printed out and posted to the next journalist to describe Angus Young's guitar lines or Brian Johnson's voice as "instantly recognizable" :)

[koganbot]

The Clandestine Koganbot Teen Of Pop Counterrankings as of May 3, 2007. martinskidmore methodically builds his lead, though with three games left for most contestants many could conceivably overtake him. blue_russian crashes the party and could tie for first if he gets his final two shots onto my mixtape and the others atop my board give desultory performances. (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, and 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. And with everyone having at least three matches to go, there's no one who can't potentially win it all.) Also, I will opine that those who choose not to dl the zip files are fools (though I suppose those who spend time creating clandestine counterrankings when they should be pitching record reviews for which they could get paid are at least as foolish).

martinskidmore 9 points (Irma Thomas, Hairy Diamond, Ultraviolence, Mahlithini & The Mahotella Queens, Go Mental)

And with everyone having at least three matches to go, there's no one who can't potentially win it all.

Not true, as five players (not counting me) only have two to go.

Will we be playing the Koganbot lague next week, out of interest?

[koganbot]

Well, in my mind the world is always and forever playing the Koganbot League, but if you're asking whether the songs you all submitted for my upcoming stint as the home team eligible for the Koganbot Teen Of Pop Counterrankings, they most certainly are. The five people I was referring to are the five of the six who themselves have home matches left (me being the sixth).

[blue-russian.livejournal.com]

I'm going to do something like this (ie., a grand tally) in the final week - I'm not sure I want to give out away teams more scouting information than necessary for my home week. :)

[bengraham.livejournal.com]

Assuming katstevens is pretty much down already (especially with that impending points deduction for fielding an ineligible bosh), it looks like it's one from five to drop with her. fugitivemotel must be nervously looking over his/her shoulder having played a game more than any of the other relegation battlers. And I still haven't worked out what to submit for this week. Nor do I know when I'm going to get a chance to do so. When's the deadline?

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Today!

(Well, OK, before Sunday. I'm out all day Sunday and don't want to be fannying about with MP3 files when I get home.)

Only one player gets relegated! But you could still be dragged into it.

[fugitivemotel.livejournal.com]

ah man

[martinskidmore.livejournal.com]

I can't remember if I have sent you this week's track yet! Tell me if I haven't and I'll send it when I get home after work.

I am 9th, which looks bad, but I am just a win off 3rd, so could still end up in a good position.

[jel-bugle.livejournal.com]

Morally, I am top of all leagues.

[poptasticuk.livejournal.com]

How many more weeks are there? And what do the numbers after people's names mean, I'm a bit slow and don't get it

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

3 more weeks. The important number is the one in bold - it's how many points you have: the others are how many tracks you've submitted and how many have been wins, draws and losses.
