Never heard of the Boards song before but absolutely love it now.

Re: Overlooked Songs: Round 2 Week 3
My favorite quarter of the competition.
Only song I don't really like is the Boards of Canada one, which by the way is part of an EP eligible for the EP poll !
Wire - Map Ref 41 Degrees N 93 Degrees W (#8 of round 1 vs #16)
Elliott Smith - Say Yes (#2 vs #11)
Refused - New Noise (#1 vs #9)
Daniel Johnston - Some Things Last a Long Time (#5 vs #12)
Mogwai - 2 Rights Make 1 Wrong (#6 vs #7 : I like Egyptian Shumba quite a lot, but best Mogwai songs are otherworldly, would be my #3 of the first week if I voted again)
Serge Gainsbourg - Initials B.B. (#4 vs #8)
Todd Terje - Delorean Dynamite (#1 vs #11)
Foo Fighters - The Pretender (#5 vs #10)

Abstain on the last matchup as I don't like either song enough to vote.

The song with the impossible title has to make room for a song with a great title.
5. The Go-Betweens - Streets of Your Town
vs.
13. Elliott Smith - Say Yes
I choose a 80's pop song over a heartfelt singer song-writer track... Don't get used to it, but there is just something about Streets of Your Town that is particularly pleasant.
6. Refused - New Noise
vs.
16. Tears for Fears - Head Over Heels
No contest here. Head Over Heels does nothing for me, while New Noise is a rare truly hard rocking song that made the second round.
4. Daniel Johnston - Some Things Last a Long Time
vs.
2. First Aid Kit - Emmylou
Most of the matchups this week are easy, but not this one. It's hard to chose between the beauty of Emmylou and the odd quality of Some Things Last a Long Time.
1. The Tammys - Egyptian Shumba
vs.
3. Mogwai - 2 Rights Make 1 Wrong
The other hard choice. Silliness versus ambition. I happen to feel silly today.
9. Serge Gainsbourg - Initials B.B.
vs.
11. Blonde Redhead - 23
I like both of these too, but Initials B.B. is more memorable.
12. Todd Terje - Delorean Dynamite
vs.
14. Wilco - Via Chicago
Two songs that I didn't particularly wanted to have progressed to the second round. There is more to Delorean Dynamite than to Via Chicago though.
7. Foo Fighters - The Pretender
vs.
10. Alanis Morissette - Ironic

Re: Overlooked Songs: Round 2 Week 3
Wire - Map Ref 41 Degrees N 93 Degrees W
Two fantastic tracks but Wire takes it by the smallest of margins
The Go-Betweens - Streets of Your Town
I'm a massive Elliott Smith fan but I feel happier today.
Refused - New Noise
I'm starting to think I feel extraordinarily frisky today, because once again a fantastic match-up. (I never thought I would say this about a match-up with Tears for Fears ) Refused takes the edge anyhow.
First Aid Kit - Emmylou
The Tammys - Egyptian Shumba
Serge Gainsbourg - Initials B.B.
Again a tough one, but I'll go for BB.
Todd Terje - Delorean Dynamite
Foo Fighters - The Pretender
Best Loser of the Week: Elliott Smith - Say Yes

How lucky I was this week, these are my votes exactly! Without my vote, all the 5 close matchups would have gone the other direction. Sorry to everyone with different tastes!
Everyone you meet fights a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.
