Time for the first game in the West Regional. KCXX from San Bernadino-Riverside Ca. vs. KFMA of Tuscon Ariz. Both lean active, so this one could get ugly. To recap 10 songs from their playlist played about the same time. I'm the sole arbiter (it's my blog after all) KCXX's songs will be on the left and KFMA's on the right.
KCXX leads off with Trun Around by Iration. Had to go to YouTube to listen to that one. KFMA goes with a safe pick Shake Me Down by Cage the Elephant. Not a big fan of fake reggae so KFMA wins the first round.
MILLION MILES AWAY -- Offspring (not the Plimsouls tune) vs. SANTERIA -- Sublime What did I just say about fake Reggae? Score one for KCXX.
WHY CAN'T I BE YOU -- THE CURE vs. COUNTRY SONG -- SEETHER. I love about half of Cure's output, but the other half is some of the most annoying music ever. This song qualifies as the latter. As to the Seether song -- gotta admit I sorta kinda like it. KFMA wins the round,
ROPE -- FOO FIGHTERS vs. THE ROYAL WE -- Silversun Pickups I don't mind the SPs aping the Smashing Pumpkins, but they should stay away from aping stuff like "Tonight Tonight". Or anything post Melon Collie for that matter. KCXX wins.
DIG -- INCUBUS vs. LOVE HURTS -- INCUBUS A light grenade battle! "Dig" is their best song, hands down. KCXX is out to a 3-2 lead.
MACHINEHEAD -- BUSH vs. LAND OF CONFUSION -- Disturbed. You really expect me to pick a favorite among this dreck? call this one a draw.
UNDISCLOSED DESIRES -- MUSE vs. IN THE END -- LINKIN PARK Sorry but plucked strings just don't belong in a rock song. Give this one to KFMA, which makes it a 3-3 tie.
BASKET CASE-- GREEN DAY vs. FACELESS -- RED KCXX wins this round in a walk.
HESITATE -- STONE SOUR VS. BELIEVE -- BRAVERY Wow. who would've thought that KFMA would pull out a Bravery track based upon what they've played so far? Tied once more. Next one's for the win.
TROUBLEMAKER -- WEEZER VS. MACHINE GUN BLUES -- SOCIAL DISTORTION Wow. This one's not easy -- but I've got to give the edge to KFMA!
