Whoa.
Well, there you have it. Would it make any sense for me to vote at this point? Probably not, eh? If I vote for Best Coast, it feels like a pity vote. If, on the other hand, I go for Matt & the gang, it feels like playing it safe. I'm not sure which makes me more uncomfortable, this or when it's up to me to break (or make!) a tie. Still, we gotta do what we gotta do...
There was something off about Best Coast, and I felt it from the first time I heard it, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Then someone made the comment that Best Coast sounded like they were trying too hard, and that nailed it. The Sweeney duo, on the other hand, sounds like they were born to this song.
So, after much deliberation—seriously, I really do like both versions—goes to Sweeney & 'Prince'.
See you all on the 1st! In the meantime, happy blogging :)
P.S. — FAE, I'm going to miss you. Thank you for almost a year of BoTB fun!
You didn't post your results all that late. Mine went up today as well.
ReplyDeleteBoy, I sure was in the minority on this one, but I'll stand by my vote. Actually as I saw all the comments coming in with votes for the other guys I had to go back and listen again to see if I'd missed something. Nope, Sweeney and Prince were good, but I still preferred Best Coast. But it was by a narrow margin.
I'm kind of bummed out by FAE's announcement. I'm hoping she'll surprise us and decide to come back.

Tossing It Out
It seems there was a strong leaning to the one but that's what always makes it fun. you just don't know where it is going to go
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, for some reason, I didn't like the second one. For me there was something off about it. Still, one man's trash is another mans treasure, as they say. Not saying that any of them were trash, mind you. Well, you know what I mean.
