Enslaved (JK will kill you for the misspelling)

I'll blame spell checker.

Good thread. Funny match-ups. How did you do the random selection?

Plus, I'm going to stick this thread.

Fuck waiting a week, we should just do this daily.

Good thread. Funny match-ups. How did you do the random selection?

Listed 64 bands in an Excel spreadsheet. Started blindly numbering them, 1 - 64, then sorted by the numbers. I'm sure there's a more clever way to do it. But in the time it would have taken to figure it out, I was done.

Plus, I'm going to stick this thread.

Fuck waiting a week, we should just do this daily.

Cool. I'll try to add'em up daily. But I'll wait a week before moving the winners to the next round.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
