Desert Island Album Game: Heat 4

Please vote for the tracklisting you LIKE THE MOST.

Welcome to the fourth round of the Interference Desert Island Album Game! The premise of this game is that the Interference forum has been stranded on a desert island and we can take only TWO CDs of up to 80 minutes of music each. The object is to see which member of the forum can fit the most musical goodness onto these two CDs.

In the last round, yertle-the-turtle decisively beat Axver by 21 votes to 8, meaning that yertle-the-turtle progresses to a quarter final against VertigoGal!

In this round, tracklistings made by liamcool and Souly face off against each other. 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. This poll will be open for TWO DAYS.

liamcool by a mile.

 

[hippy]

Isn't this heat 5?

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

I really wish liam would've uploaded for us. I'll have to head over to iTunes and see what I can find and preview to fill in what I don't know.

One thing's for sure: Heroin as the closing track of the first disc is a gutsy move, and I applaud it. That might just win me over.

 

[LMP]

liamcool's tracklisting is great, but yet again, the other one is more my style.

so I vote for Souly

 

[Axver]

Isn't this heat 5?

Ugh, it is! Firefox stores what I've previously typed in the subject line field, and I forgot to change it. I was in a rush this morning because I'd only just woken up and didn't want to be late, so clearly I wasn't all too observant! I'm normally up early, but I saw Split Enz live last night, so I was exhausted and slept in.

Hopefully a mod can amend the thread title to say heat 5!

I think I can upload most of the songs on his tracklisting. I'll get onto it. Keep an eye on my "save file" account.

Awwww... I was just teasing And yay for concerts!

 

[Lila64]

how was the Split Enz show Axver

 

[Axver]

how was the Split Enz show Axver

Two words: BLOODY AWESOME!

The band most certainly still has it, after all these years. I got to hear most of my favourites (unfortunately not my favourite Enz song, Hermit McDermitt), and the band's performance was energetic and very solid. Neil Finn remarked that "this feels right" and he was spot on. I hope this tour goes so well that it inspires the Enz to do even more together, either live or in studio.

I just wrote a (rather long) review on LiveJournal, which also covers the opening band, Evermore: http://axver.livejournal.com/342510.html

 

[hippy]

It's all about Souly this round

And cheers, Souly, for that awesome "Breakfast on Pluto" track

 

[Jack In The Box]

Death From Above? you got my vote with that song Souly!

 

[lmjhitman]

souly, you had me at 'interpol'.

 

[elevation2u]

Souly, without a doubt. It's just more eclectic, and taking in consideration this is the only music I would be able to listen to rufus, bruce, radiohead, interpol, bowie, rem, buckley, rice, drake... doesn't hurt

Re: Desert Island Album Game: Heat 4

11. Interpol - "Obsticle 2" - Turn on the Bright Lights (3:47)
12. Metric - "Poster of a Girl" - Live it Out (4:48)
14. Radiohead - "Anyone Can Play Guitar" - Pablo Honey (3:37)
15. PJ Harvey - "This Mess We're In" - Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea (3:57)

12. Dirty Vegas - “Days go By (acoustic)” - Dirty Vegas (4:37)
16. Bruce Springsteen - “Secret Garden” - Bruce Springsteen Greatest Hits (4:27)

All of these caught my eye, among others. Had to vote for Souly.

 

[Axver]

I certainly hope later rounds are more close than the last three heats ...

 

[Thora]

My vote is for Souly - great variety!

 

[LJT]

The next few heats I think will be pretty tight.

I already have a good idea how the whole competition will pan out. We should have bets on this I could already tell you how the three way will work out...unfortunately it won't work out well for me.

Anyway I voted for Souly, variety plus Bowie...plus that Mic Christopher song Hey Day....great Guinness advert

 

[LMP]

I certainly hope later rounds are more close than the last three heats ...

Me too.

It seems the people that show variety move on, so that might be good for me later on

 

[XHendrix24]

I'm a little late in noticing this competition, but is there any way that I could get a link to the outside page? Some of these lists look pretty interesting.

[BonoIsMyMuse]

sent to Hendrix

I haven't voted yet, but I'm wondering if it's even worth it now

 

[LJT]

Hey Avxer if you are about, would it not be better to call an early end to these heavily one side heats, so the next heat can go ahead? As long as the losing side agrees to surrender......

 

[Lila64]

had to go with Souly on this one - sorry liamcool!

 

[Axver]

I've thought of this, but I'm not sure I really want to do it. I think it's better to simply keep each round open for the allocated two days.

 

[got_edge]

I'd vote for anything with Sexy Results in it.


Can I go to that desert island right now?

 

[fly so high!]

Liamcool

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

I voted for liam. While I liked that Souly's compilation had more variety, I felt that many of the choices were the easy ones for a given artist (Space Oddity, Float On, etc.). Am I being nit picky? Yes. Do I realize my vote is long past the point of really mattering? Yes.

On to the next round

 

[Axver]

On to the next round

If I can remember to start it on time.
