ROUND 20 - THE FINALS - VI
Well, so long yalla yalla
Let's forget you didn't get enough support
Not in my time
20 rounds total. 6 rounds of finals. the laughter. the tears. the endless arguing about whether bhindee bhagee is secretly racist or not. we've all been stunned when a personal fave goes down early and baffled at the board's love of some tune or another. but this is what it all comes down to. garage rock perfection vs a burning late era shamanic grinder. make your choice and live with it.
also, for one last time, VOTE FOR THE SONG YOU LIKE LEAST PEOPLE.

Re: ROUND 20 - THE FINALS - VI
I can be genuinely pleased with either one winning. We get prime examples of fun, rock n roll Joe and hectoring "world music" Joe.

If there's any justice, Trash City will win.
Get Down Moses is just so bang average I find it hard to believe it's slugging it out in the final.

Everything Heston says, but reversed. GDM forever.

Re: ROUND 20 - THE FINALS - VI
One could interpret this to mean you have exceedingly high standards. Except for, well, all the other stuff you advocate.

I like Trash City less.
Re: ROUND 20 - THE FINALS - VI
Word. Repetitive melodically to its detriment.
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.

Re: ROUND 20 - THE FINALS - VI
I think this is gonna be a pretty lopsided finale. I'm on the GDM bandwagon as well - for the all the talk of how disparate Joe's career could be, GDM really feels like the synthesis of a lot of different stuff he was trying to do.

Re: ROUND 20 - THE FINALS - VI
Many songs that I'd play before it, but I consider it a worthy winner.

Re: ROUND 20 - THE FINALS - VI
Yeah, personally there are a clutch I'd put ahead of it on grounds of personal taste, but thinking of Joe's overall career this is a good winner that makes a lot of sense aesthetically and is well justified. Trash City is great, but I think it's in too narrow a lane.Silent Majority wrote: ↑18 Jul 2019, 12:51pmMany songs that I'd play before it, but I consider it a worthy winner.

Re: ROUND 20 - THE FINALS - VI
No, but really, Get Down Moses is my actual favorite Joe solo track so clearly the system works.

Re: ROUND 20 - THE FINALS - VI
Same here. It's so well constructed, and Joe is in top form in terms of passionate delivery. Trash City is cool and all, but maybe if it had a couple different parts to it...

I'm surprised it's this lopsided.

Re: ROUND 20 - THE FINALS - VI
GDM is pretty repetitive. The verse is the same as the chorus. You have a little bridge and the occasional rundown but it is mostly a vamp from Am to Dm.
