Ok, I must admit I was hesitant to post this one, with the voting rolling through the weekend and the holiday coming up, I was afraid this might end up with low turnout. I don't think I'll post Pod N until after the holiday, but it's open for discussion, so let me know your thoughts.

All I know is... we'll be singing, while we're winning

No strong feelings personally Breeze, up to you.

Glad to see Epic and Tubthumping doing well.

Stacy's Mom is an anthem for our generation. I cant believe it is getting crushed.

Definitely a song that could have gone a lot farther if it had gotten a better draw.

Problem is both Tubthumping and Missing are anthems for the previous... I'd be sad to see the latter go down, but probably slightly bigger in the UK/Europe than it ever was over here?

Chumba vs Wayne - thought Wayne had a punchers chance to win this one...didn't expect it, but thought it might happen, especially after it's strong showing in round 1 against a pretty good song. So given that I thought it had a slim chance to win, getting beat by 19 votes was surprising and it probably illustrates the strength of Tubthumping moving forward...

Everything vs Poindexter - thought this was a toss up, and it turned out that way thanks to a bunch of late support for Missing, but Buster's big early lead held...not that is matters much...I feel pretty confident they will be Tubthumped next round...

Devo vs Real Life - after a weak round 1, Whip-It seemed vulnerable, but this round it completely destroyed the opponent, getting the most votes in the pod, but quite a lot...

Aqua vs Faith No More - Epic was going to win this pair going away, but it only managed 32 votes matched up with a song that got at minimum several hate votes against...this leaves me scratching my head it what should be a very interesting pair in the next round...

I'll crank this back up after the holidays...pretty sure we'd have low voter turn out otherwise...

I really liked Epic at the time, but upon re listening for this contest, I like it a lot less. No idea why.
