Back to round 2 action in hte East Regional.  #1 Seed CFNY ("The Edge") beat CFLC of Kingston Ontario.  #6 Seed WFNX beat Providence's WBRU.  This is another tough bout for WFNX.  Usual rules.  10 songs from a recent playlist. Head to head, winner take all. May the best station win. CFNY on the left WFNX on the right.
WE USED TO WAIT -- ARCADE FIRE VS. HOWLIN FOR YOU -- THE BLACK KEYS.  Wow. Tough choice.  But I'll give to to the Edge.
OTHERSIDE -- RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS VS. PORK AND BEANS -- WEEZER Again the Edge by a hair.
WAIT UP (BOOTS OF DANGER)-- TOKYO POLICE CLUB VS. WHIRRING -- THE JOY FORMIDABLE Normally this would be 3-0 FNX, but as of now it's 3-0 the other way.  The Edge is on quite a roll.
Oops! Both stations played KIDS by MGMT.  Next.
CAPABLE -- K.O. VS. PUMPED UP KICKS -- FOSTER THE PEOPLE  I don't get much kicks from Foster the People.  4-0 Edge
UNDERCOVER OF DARKNESS -- THE STROKES VS. THERE THERE -- RADIOHEAD FNX finally breaks the streak by breaking out a deep track from Radiohead.  Always a good idea.
ENTER SANDMAN -- METALLICA VS. GOLD, GUNS GIRLS -- METRIC Another close call, this time for WFNX.  4-2 CFNY
END TO THE LIES -- JANE'S ADDICTION VS. WHAT YOU KNOW -- TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB Never cared for Jane's Addiction the first time around 4-3 CFNY
THE GOOD IN EVERYONE -- SLOAN VS. ROPE -- FOO FIGHTERS The Sloan song is catchy and I love the music, but the words are sort of not there.  Gotta go with the Foo Fighters here. Tied up.  It'll come down to the 10th song....
RADIOACTIVE -- KINGS OF LEON VS. THE FUNERAL -- BAND OF HORSES.  Wow. All along it's been a game of inches.  Not one of the songs either station played were really bad, and only one or two mediocre.  It's a shame either station has to go down.   But it's WFNX going to the Sweet 16, by the slimmest of margins.
