League Of Pop: THE FINAL

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

OK, here's how this works:

1. Download this 25 Mb zipfile: http://www.sendspace.com/file/h96dqj

2. Listen to the tracks. Decide which you think are the two best ones.

3. Tomorrow I will post a poll and you can vote in it.

4. You can comment here or on the poll.

5. PLAYERS: Please do not reveal which track is yours!

Question: is 25Mb too much for a single download? I need to know for the Pop Open - if necessary I can cap the bitrates at 192 and keep the totals down that way.

Pop Open: 17 out of 41 tracks in - no single group filled as yet! Keep them coming!

Track three

I've been hunting for this for AAAAAGES, but could never find it. I only have it on tape and really wanted it on my iPod so thank you whoever it was who submitted. It really is an ace track, so good to hear it again. Tracks 1 & 2 are brilliant too, will be a tough choice on who to vote for.

I can't even remember what I submitted now - I had a shortlist of around six and think I even sent three of them to Tom before changing my mind! Maybe I will put up the others afterwards to see whether they would have fared better or worse - none are really eligible for my group in the Pop Open.

What's the Pop Open address again? And I'm not sure how to strip track tags...I don't use Media Player or iTunes, just download and put on my mp3 player y'see.

Wahey! v. excited by final...

Download was fine for me.

Fine for me too. Liked all four songs a lot - only one I already knew (and am 99.99% sure who sent it).

Is the poll going to be "answers viewable to: None"? (I guess same question applies to Pop Open polls)

I think it will be more suspenseful - and hopefully more fun - that way.

Remind me again - the more people that know a track the less your chance to go through, correct? This means that winners will be judged on the total number of votes received? Or will there be some way to calculate a percentage of "eligible" voters? (For example: 48 Poptimists vote in Group X. Half of all Poptimists already know "La Isla Bonita" by Madonna, but three-fourths of the remaining Poptimists love the track. Relatively speaking that should be enough to go through, but on absolute numbers it might not be enough.)

Just trying to figure how risky it is to go with something that a reasonable number of people might know.

Corrupted File

Tom, for what it's worth, my player says that Track Two is a corrupted file and is balking at playing it - will play it sometimes but not consistently. I'll let you know if this turns out to be a problem.

Ladies be ruling the roost again :D

A bit like in the first few weeks of the League season.

I recognized track 4 about 0.1 seconds into it and I'm pretty much 100% sure I know who submitted it. The other three are all new to me and all sound pretty good.
