Alternative Radio March Madness CJLC vs. WCYY

To recap, for the opening round I pitted some of the coolest small market stations against others that don't quite have that rep. So far, however the bouts have been really competitive and one station in Reno took down KSLG, one of my faves. Today it's CJLC, a station out of Kingston Ont. against WCYY, the alternative station for Portland Maine. Ten songs that the stations actually played at about the same time -

CJLC wastes no time and goes with WE USED TO WAIT -- ARCADE FIRE. WCYY counters with HELP IS ON THE WAY -- RISE AGAINST Nothing against Rise Against, but CJLC wins the first round.

DRINKING IN LA -- BRAD VAN 3000 VS HESITATE -- STONE SOUR Wow. Just about forgot about that 90's one hit wonder. Just for remembering that song, CJLC gets the edge.
HIGH AND DRY -- RADIOHEAD VS. BLIND -- KORN If this was the moveies it would be Citizen Kane vs. Plan Nine From Outer Space
THE CAVE -- Mumford and Sons vs. DIAMOND EYES -- SHINEDOWN or It's A Wonderful Life vs. Heavens Gate
NEW MOON RISING -- WOLFMOTHER VS. IM SHIPPING UP TO BOSTON -- DROPKICK MURPHYS CJLC finally lets its guard down and WCYY finally gets on the board.
YOUR TIME HAS COME -- AUDIOSLAVE VS. CLOSER TO THE EDGE -- 30 SECONDS TO MARS WCYY has no hope winning this round by playing the Kansas of alternative rock.
THEM KIDS -- SAM ROBERTS VS. I WAS WRONG -- SOCIAL DISTORTION One of Sam Roberts' weaker tracks is no match for social distortion. Advantage WCYY
HATE TO SAY I TOLD YOU SO -- THE HIVES VS. THE ANIMAL -- DISTURBED.

We're done here -- and thank goodness WCYY had Seether ready to go for the next round. CJLC is the clear winner. It goes up against the mighty CFNY in the East Regional.
