I don't know, I tried to vote on the poll as i'm just seeing it now but, for some unknown reason, my mouse simply will not hover over either choice. Its like a Microsoft Ouija thing.

I'd vote for the Kajagoogoo option but i'm too shy shy.

I'll grab my coat on the way out ....

I listened to the first three songs. I really enjoyed the drumming and percussion. Obviously they were going for a sound and definitely succeeded. Not something I’m going to be in the mood for often.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

To be fair, I'm not usually in the mood for that period either. It's direct and visceral and distinct, but it's … limited. I wouldn't want to be the co-worker of someone who says that record or the even more extreme follow-up is their favourite of all time.

I can't stand the suspense.
I've never heard a single thing by "The Suspense" are they German?
This lady is German, presumably a relative of Olaf's because he's German too.

Eh!

It was 8-6 and now it's 7-7. Who's the traitor?

Someone's fucking with us. Swans have lost votes a couple times already. I'm guessing Marky and/or Olaf are the pranksters.

Not me, I haven't even voted yet. I'm equally indifferent to both.

Your lack of whimsy is disillusioning.

I had temporarily tipped the scales in Swans' favor 8-7. Not sure what happened, but I'm glad it did since Heston would have never forgiven me.
