    With Siousxie and the Banshees joining Chvrches safely through to the next Round, who would be also joining them in the Round 3 draw?

    Which means that it is squeaky * time for Madonna and Roxette.
    One will survive, one will end here. Which?

    Only time will tell!

    With Courtney Barnett and Christina Aguilera already safe, who will join them?

    The answer is BOTH...

    Congrats to both First Aid Kit and Pvris for reaching the Third Round.

    Which means that Wolf Alice is the one that has been edged out here. Wolf Alice was actually an artist that a number of people requested, so obviously has some fans here. Alas, this BotB was the first time I had encountered them, so the Jury is still out for me. But overall the TC voters have spoken.

    Fleetwood Macm, Florence & the Machine and Within Temptation are already through.

    Which means it is all down to Sleeper and The XX.

    By a score of

    43 - 50

    The XX claiming the 4th and final spot from Group A. Congrats!

    Which sadly means that it is Sleeper (@Pinstripe ) who has taken the bullet here. Sleeper is an act I've not had a great awareness of, aside from their awesome cover of the Blondie classic, Atomic, from the Trainspotting soundtrack, so was looking forward to hearing more from them here, but I guess, wasnt to be.

    Post Script

    Could it be anything else?

    With Chvrches, Siousxie and the Banshees and No Doubt safely through to the next Round, who would be also joining them in the Round 3 draw?

    Would it be Madonna or Roxette?

    Time to find out.

    With a score of

    48 - 50



















    CONGRATS!

    Madge marrowly making it through ahead of Roxette.

    Which means this is the end of the line for Roxette (@Marty McFly ). I had expected some Swedish pop in this comp, though anticipated maybe of a slightly older vintage, lol. That said, nothing taken away from Roxette who produced a string of hits of their own in the late 80's and early 90's.

    Perhaps it was destined with Marty not around much at the moment, and hope he is having a great time on holidays... Although as Minty proved, being on the other side of the world (and getting married into the mix) is not necessarily a deterant to winning BotB, lol.

    Post Script

    For a long lost sister, who loved this song...and this band... back in the day. Wherever you are, hope you're happy.

    Round 3

    Time to get your Round 3 song picks in.

    As announced a couple of days ago, and in keeping with the time of year... Halloween, Dia de los Muertos, All Saints etc... the theme for this Round is

    Life and Death

    Am willing to entertain some pretty broad interpretations on this theme, but essentially either songs about Life, about living, about celebrating life and all that this entails... or that of death, of mourning, of sorrow, the fragility of this mortal coil etc. Its your call.

    As always Random.org has determined the Group make ups here.

    There will be 2 Groups of 8, with the bottom 2 from each Group knocked out.

    So once again, 4 will be eliminated this Round.

    Groups will be posted shortly.

    Best of Luck!​

    I've got a couple options I think, but definitely had to think more in depth about it.
