Pop Open Group H: DEATH

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Oh Death, where is thy tick? Five tracks from beyond the veil, available to you in a bijou 20Mb Sendspace download (http://www.sendspace.com/file/rjhg2y) or streamed over at Freaky Trigger: http://freakytrigger.co.uk/ft/2007/07/pop-open-week-4/ (make sure you play each track individually - the default seems to be track 5)

As ever, you can vote for your two favourites, but only out of the tracks you didn't already know. Reveals on Thursday, and voting closes at 12 noon (UK time) next Monday.

[Poll #1014583]

Eagle-eyed players might notice that this group was originally announced as having six players, one of whom was me. I have pulled out, because I think there's a player short in Violence, so I will fill that gap instead. Just as well for me, as I'd not have won against this lot.

Thanks to this week's players: kill_yr_idols, mackromackro, mippy, poptasticuk and stevem78.

And of course...what would YOU have entered?

Didn't know Track One, got my first place vote. Will probably do a head-smack when I see who it is (I felt that way about several tracks).

Track Two is a Dr. Demento staple, can't hardly listen to a Halloween Demento show without hearing it! I'm sure I have it on one of the shows c. 1987-1989 I just found on an old comedy music thread. Might have been good for a novelty second place finish.

Track Three: hm, nice instrumental but it didn't stick. Will try again later, might swap my second place with this.

Track Four: I feel like I should know this, but I don't. So it gets my honorary novelty second place finish. (Not the novelty track I'd pick for "DEATH," though, probably "Transfusion" by Nervous Norvus.)

Track Five: I know I know this, but I don't, y'know, know it. Would speculate here (I think I might even own the album...), except if I'm right I'd give the game away. Anyway, wouldn't get my tick anyway, a little too samey and dull. Also, MCR could sell a line like "I'm glad I'm not dead." Pink could probably sell that line, too.

My automatic response to this was "One of Us Is Gonna Die Young" by the Ark, but too many people would know that one. Since I didn't mention it last week, "Unforgiven" by Fefe Dobson would be my Injustice track.

I too know Track Two from a Halloween-themed radio show (although not Dr Demento - it's on an old tape of my friend Robbie DJing on local radio). Nice to have an mp3 of it at last!

Didn't know any of the others.

This is the strongest round by far to date. I think I know what my first choice pick will be, however.

I guessed who the producer is of track 4 btw, and from that was able to identify the track. But I hadn't heard it before.
