Just tried this and when i hit the save button, I get saving and it just buffers and doesn't remove the comment. This is also happening with rating tracks

Hi, which screen were you trying to rate tracks from? On one of the charts, or somewhere else? (deployed a fix for comment deletes in the background, so should be working now)

Thanks for fixing the quotes issue. I'll make the change to Sticky Fingers

[*]Angine de Poitrine, Vol. II: I assume everybody has heard of these guys by now, but if you haven't, then I'll just post one of their videos below. You should definitely check it out, because it's certainly something you don't see every day. (Unless you work in a polka-dot factory.) All I would say is that high-level technical virtuosity combined with extremely weird costumes doesn't automatically lead to music that I actually want to listen to for more than, say, five minutes or so without stopping, but at least it gets people talking about them. These days, that's half the battle! Maybe more than half.[/list]

Sickness! It's like Primus meets Lightning Bolt if both were more into Prog.

I had low expectations from this match-up, as I'm not really into country, but I was pleasantly surprised.
Nose on the Grindstone was certainly enjoyable, but Heaven Passing Through was simply fascinating. Despite being a seemingly simple, back-to-basics country song, there's something so warm and yet so effortless about it. I found myself immersed in its world. I'll definitely check the full album the first chance I get.

Great to hear! Country is in a great spot right now and there's lots to discover. Turnpike Troubadours are somewhat legends in the Red Dirt scene and they haven't released a bad album to date. Their 2025 effort was fantastic as usual, but the 2010 record 'Diamonds & Gasoline' is nothing short of a classic.

Really balanced match-up, liked both songs, not sure which one will get my vote. Maybe the infamous age factor will be the decider - but then again, I'm too old for Ayleen Valentine but not old enough for The Chameleons. Decisions, decisions...

Techno isn't exactly my cup of tea, so Polygonia was an interesting change of pace for me - no chance I would have listened to this song outside this tournament.
That being said, Rosalia gets my vote and admittedly it's not that close. Can't say it's made my absolute favourites yet, but Lux is a truly special album and I'm curious to see how she follows it up.

Alright we do have our next set of matches up, the previous bunch will stay up till Wen. Again I'll finally be off the road soon enough so this will be infinitely easier instead of having to manage this out of whatever meal stop has Wi-Fi.
