ARR March Madness -- CHDI vs. CJZN

In the West Regional #4 Seed CHDI of Edmonton meets #12 seed CJZN of Victoria BC for bragging rights of Western Canada. CHDI (Sonic 102.9) beat KTEG of Albequeque. CJZN (The Zone) beat KNRK of Salt Lake City (no pushover)Best of 10 head to head from their actual playlists.

CHDI plays SPIDERWEBS -- NO DOUBT CJZN plays LITHIUM -- NIRVANA Even factoring in how overplayed this song is how can I vote against Nirvana?

The rest CHDI on the left

DANI CALIFORNIA -- RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS VS. SCARED -- TRAGICALLY HIP The Hip's creepiest ballad from Day for Night almost upsets the Chili Peppers classic. Almost. 1-1 Tie.
BLEAK DECADES -- CYGNETS VS. LITTLE LION MAN -- MUMFORD & SONS The Cygnets are a local band and the title of the song just about sums it up. 2-1 Zone
BACK AGAINST THE WALL -- CAGE THE ELEPHANT VS. MONEYGRABBER -- FITZ & THE TANTRUMS Usually not down with reconstructed white sou, but this is special -- 3-1 Zone
COURAGE -- TRAGICALLY HIP VS. MOUNTAIN TOP -- BEDOUIN SOUNDCLASH I'll give the nod to the Hip on this one. 3-2 Zone
MY BODY -- YOUNG THE GIANT VS. COME DOWN -- BUSH. Bush is a real comedown. 3-3 Tie.
BELIEVE -- THE BRAVERY VS. STILL IN LOVE SONG -- THE STILLS My favorite Bravery song edges out a good song by the Stills 4-3 Sonic lead.
WHAT'S MY AGE AGAIN -- BLINK 182 VS. THE STAND -- MOTHER MOTHER 4-4 TIE.
LIVING IN A DREAM -- FINGER 11 VS. APRIL FOOLS -- MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA 5-4 Zone.
NICE TO KNOW YOU -- INCUBUS VS. END TO THE LIES -- JANE'S ADDICTION The new Jane's Addiction is interesting but a good song will beat an interesting one. TIE SCORE! OVERTIME!!!

Each station throws down the next three songs on their playlists

CHDI did N/A OK by USS, LIKE A STONE by AUDIOSLAVE and UNDERCOVER OF DARKNESS -- THE STROKES CJZN counters with IN PLACE OF A LESSER MAN -- STEADY AS SHE GOES -- THE RACONTEURS and SO FAR SO GOOD -- THORNLEY. Ooh that wasn't that good on either station's part. Let's try DOUBLE OVERTIME!!!

CDHI plays HARD SUN -- EDDIE VEDDER, HIGH AND DRY -- RADIOHEAD AND AMERICANARAMA -- HOLLERADO. Much better. But wait CJZN counters with THE FIXER -- PEARL JAM,, AMERICAN IDIOT -- GREEN DAY AND IF IT FEELS GOOD DO IT -- SLOAN

Both really good sets. But I must say I liked SONIC's set a bit better. CHDI wins!
