The Cliffhanging Koganbot Teen Of Pop Counterrankings

[koganbot]

Unless I missed it, Tom didn't post the League of Pop standings last week; I usually work my own standings into the comments, but since there weren't any, I'm giving them my own post. Of course, these rankings will be obsolete come tomorrow.

The Compurgatorial Koganbot Teen Of Pop Counterrankings as of May 11, 2007: braisedbywolves scores on an audacious shot but gains nothing on leader martinskidmore, who benefits as goals rain down like footballs over in the Chart Championship. Word still out on how much byebyepride gains from unearthing an eccentric Gravediggaz track. epicharmus enters the rankings, while jeff_worrell makes a strong charge from the outside. Oi Va Voi reaffirm their worth by garnering a point for a second player. (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 goes on a "Put This On A Mixtape" playlist. Tracks can jump or fall at any time until League play ends. Twelve players still have a chance at first, but given how effective the defenses have been at preventing three pointers, Martin seems well-situated.)

martinskidmore 10 points (Irma Thomas, Hairy Diamond, Ultraviolence, Mahlithini & The Mahotella Queens, Go Mental, Amayese)

Epicharmus and blue_russian only have one match left to score in; everyone else has two.

Nachlader was the German / French rap, 'Fett' that I submitted a couple of weeks ago. Can't rememeber if those others were the same week.

They must have been from another week, because I've been listening to Fett pretty much every day since then and haven't heard either of the others...
