We're finally closing in on the end of first round action. In the East Regional #1 seed CFNY of Toronto "The Edge" (my home team so to speak, being in its listening range) meets CFLC "The Drive" of Kingston Ontario which beat WCCY of Portland Me. in the opening round. Just a reminder -- the seeds are based upon ratings & market size, cum when available, so that a low seed is not at all at a disadvantage, in fact the lack of ratings pressure may actually be an aid. Best of 10 head to head from their actual playlists taken at about the same time.
CFNY leads off with LOTUSFLOWER -- RADIOHEAD Apparently going for the kill early CFLC counters with BEVERLY HILLS -- WEEZER a song that gets unfairly slagged, but still it's up against Radiohead!
CFNY on the left CFLC on the right
LOST IN YOU -- 3 DAYS GRACE VS. MY BODY -- YOUNG THE GIANT, The Edge lets down its guard and tHE Drive lands a haymaker. Tie score.
ROPE -- FOO FIGHTERS VS. THE MIDDLE -- JIMMY EAT WORLD Love "The Middle" but "Rope" is in a different class. 2-1 CFNY
SCREAMING BLOODY MURDER -- SUM 41 VS. NO CARS GO -- ARCADE FIRE. Advantage CFLC.
I FEEL YOU -- SAM ROBERTS BAND VS. PUMPED UP KICKS -- FOSTER THE PEOPLE. The new Sam Roberts single still hasn't grown on me. The Drive takes the lead 3-2.
ABOUT A GIRL -- NIRVANA VS. GET LOOSE -- THE SALADS Nice little pop punk tune there, Salads, but not quite on Nirvana's level.
THE UNFORGIVEN -- METALLICA VS. ONE STEP CLOSER -- LINKIN PARK CFNY now leads 4-3.
HOME FOR A REST -- SPIRIT OF THE WEST VS. GOT TO LOSE -- HOLLERADO Never been much for Gaelic punk, even from the Pogues. Give this one to CFLC.
THE HAND THAT FEEDS -- NINE INCH NAILS VS. ULYSSES -- FRANZ FERDINAND. One of NIN's best vs. a flawed but meaty track from Franz Ferdinand. CFNY wins this one by a hair.
CRABUCKET -- K-OS VS. HEADSTONG -- TRAPT. Trapt? Really? Golliath slays David and CFNY advances to face -- OMG -- WFNX in Round 2.
