BONUS PLAYLIST! 21st Covers 20th
Read and comment

I made a playlist of all your excellent suggestions (that I could find) for a group on the theme “21st Century covers of 20th Century songs”. I’ll pick 4 of these with a headline group in mind – and avoiding stuff we’ve already had. But I thought all of them deserved collection really. Thank you!

Modern Playlists Day 6 + Covers Crowdsourcing
Read and comment

Welcome back! This post is doing DOUBLE DUTY as a standard playlist post but also as a crowdsourcing exercise for one of the Day 11 groups next week, a themed group on “21st Century Covers of 20th Century Songs”.

There are two criteria here. One is that it’s a genuinely transformative cover, not just an ‘interpolation’ or some John Lewis piano shit. So like “Comfortably Numb” by Scissor Sisters. The other is that it’s something we haven’t polled before. So NOT like “Comfortably Numb” by Scissor Sisters.

Suggestions in comments please! Now onto the playlists:

It’s playlist time as we approach the halfway point of the qualifiers. Before the poll started I got people to vote on what tracks should be Bracket Balancers. And then put some of the top scoring ones in the same group, obviously. That’s our headliner but there’s plenty more happening too…

A harder-edged day with our most rocking headline group and some uncompromising material in our undercard matches as well. All this and ADMIN in the comments too.

Hit it, Kelly

Modern Poll Day 3 Playlists
Read and comment

The third day of the Modern poll – 5 more groups, only one of which (the fourth) is curated. If I were a betting pollrunner I would say today’s headline group includes the poll favourite… but we’ll see.

I’m not planning to run polls at the weekend, so after this you get a chance to catch up on the Modern groups so far and we’ll be back on Monday. Check the comments for a note on how we’re resolving ties this poll too.
