Please vote for the tracklisting you LIKE THE MOST.
Welcome to the second match of the repechages in the Interference Desert Island Game II! The premise of this game is that all of the Interferencers have been stranded on a desert island and we can only take up to 160 minutes of music with us (either as a continuous iPod playlist or two 80 minute CDs or any other format of our choosing). The object is to see which forum member can fit the most musical goodness into these 160 minutes.
In the repechages, the contestants have one last to chance survive and advance into the tournament.

This round features tracklistings by KhanandaRhodes , InMyPlace13 and Lemonchick. KhanandaRhodes lost by 2 to Lara Mullen in a group that had a tie. IMP13 and Lemonchick were surprisingly beat by large margins in thier rounds even with lots of positive feedback. Now they all have a second chance. Below, you will find their tracklistings. If you are unfamiliar with the songs included, we can help you hear them! Just leave your e-mail address.

Reminder for contestants: if there was an error on your tracklisting on the master list thread, let me know before your qualifying round so I can post the correct tracklist!

I tried to separate my playlist into three distinct phases, each beginning with an epic post rock track and ending with one of my favorite piano driven tunes. I always think the best playlists start out with the hypnotic drumbeat of The Beatles "Tomorrow Never Knows," which I unfortunately used in the last competition. Fortunately, the Love record came out, and you get to "turn off your mind" to begin my playlist once again. I didn't seek to make this a comprehensive list of the best songs ever or to span every conceivable genre. I simply wanted to make a list that reflects what I'm listening to these days and the point I'm at in my life. I hope you enjoy it and find something new and worthwhile.

Yeah, it's just a shame he had to go up against me in the first round. :wink:

No, but seriously, his playlist is way better than mine. I'm just more popular.

I did Eenie, Meenie, Moe, in your round. I loved both tracklistings so much.

Even if one of you lost, you'd win the Repechage Rounds, IMO.
 
A reminder again since I forgot to include it in my paragraph:

Think of tracks 17-22 as telling a complete story of the curve of a relationship.
 
:love:

imp13 for me.

This is an example of me not knowing several selections at first, but after downloading and listening, really enjoying it and wanting to hear more, specifically Sigur Ros and Mogwai. He didn't get my vote last time because Lance's list was so strong, but this time he does.

Screwtape - if you are around, please IM me {AOL} Rockchick1964. I got your email, and don't know when you want me to start the next poll, and/or if you still want me to. And what title you want it to be given. I'm in and out all day today, so lemme know. Or if someone else is doing it, let me know as well.

:up:
 
I had to go with Lemonchicks. I like Khanada's but some of it gets a little bit much. The overall feeling of Lemonchicks' was really nice.
 
We've just entered a time warp and the tournament's running again.

Liamcool's going to win!! :hyper:
