My inability to kill the voice in orion's head that convinces him he's funny always leaves the part of me with hope for the future just a little closer to death each day.

It's a shame that Area A from Shatterhand's 20 vote margin of victory wasn't enough to make this list.

My inability to convince people that they don't actually know the difference between genres and/or fail at coining terms (orchestrate'n? What the hell, dude) does the same.

Also, fuck Vendetta Preps.

Vendetta Preps > Your face

HAH!

In all seriousness. I hope the song quality of the actual contest is not as disappointing as the prelims were.

I'm happy for the most part...Both of my Phantasy Star noms went out, but yay for Vendetta, Sign, City, Clap and Walk and Shatterhand for being new, exciting and most importantly, winning their match-ups.

And Daytona in BSC...Too good.

Didn't manage to vote on matches #9, #12 and #16 but nice results for those match-ups. Even for #9's Wild Arms 2 win. I'm usually very particular about Westerns for some reason and the Wild Arms 2 track was not bad for me (would have preferred the Pinball track in match #9, though :P).

I thought the Worms track was just a notch more interesting than Emil Chronicle in match #12 but the latter is pretty nifty I must say.

I remember "The Edge of Soul" in match #16 from one of the past BSCs. Forgot which one. It's actually quite nice (!!!). Um, lyrics and vocals might be a bit cheesy/campy but the melody is catchy. If I'd voted, I might have been tempted to vote for the Soul Edge track instead of the Ragnarok Online II song.

Of the other winners, I wsa glad "Area A (01)" from match #5 moved on. It's Mega Man-ish in a good way and quite refreshing compared to a lot of other songs in the prelims. The Speed Freaks track from match #13 is an interesting win. I suppose some might find the track repetitive but I think it does develop pretty well and throws in enough variation to keep the track engaging.
I think therefore I am... I think.

Apart from my noms, I'm really pleased to see 3 in particular move on: "Driving to New Fork", "Pop Station - Track 4" and "Miami Night Cop". As for the rest I guess I'm split 50/50. Kind of disappointed that "Arkham City" did so poorly, but other than that, I can live with these results.
