Another round down and this is finishing quickly (just in time for Christmas).

Last round saw the departure of both my entries (happy they got this far) and showed that the more modern Aussie albums are preferred by the wider audience.

All Semis will be played at the same time, so...

LEFT SIDE
DIRTY THREE - Ocean Songs (1998) vs. CUT COPY - In Ghost Colours (2008)

MIDNIGHT JUGGERNAUTS - Dystopia (2007) vs. TAME IMPALA - Innerspeaker (2010)

RIGHT SIDE
THE AVALANCHES - Since I Left You (2000) vs. THE GO-BETWEENS - 16 Lovers Lane (1988)

NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS - The Good Son (1990) vs. HUNTERS AND COLLECTORS - Hunters & Collectors (1982)

Matchups to be placed about now!

but there was 14 other albums they could have come against. But I do understand the reasoning behind it.

QUARTER FINAL DRAW

The second round saw both ACDC and Cold Chisel, mainstays of Aussie rock, bow out in tough competition. Also the matchup between Blasko and Gotye found me figuring out if my entry was worthy to stay; sadly Sarah, the lone female in the competition, left us. Now only memberd of Something For Kate and The Go Betweens hold the torch for the females in the tournament.

QUARTER FINAL DRAW

This round will also see how these albums transition to a live setting (just found a YouTube clip of a song from the album).

LEFT SIDE
DIRTY THREE - Ocean Songs (1998) vs. SOMETHING FOR KATE - Echolalia (2001)

CUT COPY - In Ghost Colours (2008) vs. MIDNIGHT OIL - Diesel And Dust (1987)

MIDNIGHT JUGGERNAUTS - Dystopia (2007) vs. MEN AT WORK - Cargo (1983)

TAME IMPALA - Innerspeaker (2010) vs. CROWDED HOUSE - Woodface (1991)

RIGHT SIDE
THE TRIFFIDS - Born Sandy Devotional (1986) vs. THE AVALANCHES - Since I Left You (2000)

THE TRIFFIDS - Calenture (1987) vs. THE GO-BETWEENS - 16 Lovers Lane (1988)

THE PRESETS - Apocalypso (2008) vs. NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS - The Good Son (1990)

GOTYE - Like Drawing Blood (2006) vs. HUNTERS AND COLLECTORS - Hunters & Collectors (1982)

At work at the moment so matchups will be up after 4pm (Aus Central Time).

So use this time to refresh your memory and stand up for your choice!

With the second round not that far off, just wondering what ideas/suggestions people have for the inital post of each matchup. Currently it is album cover and two tracks but this can be mundane and time-consuming. So, anyone?

So to clear this up:

Next matchups are now up. They will be active for some time as I am away for the weekend and I may not have access to a computer or have the time to get on here.

I will be back on Monday night and that should see the next 4 matches up.

O.K. I'm lost now Harkan.

This just doesn't make sense 2 me.
