Divaman: Folk Discovery M8

Divaman 05.29.20	Have a folk party.
DoofDoof 05.29.20	Let’s indeed Got a good feeling about these two
bgillesp 05.29.20	I’m excited for these 2
DoofDoof 05.30.20	Definitely feeling the Fire on Fire more...nothing wrong about Gibbo but the FoF is just more to my sensibilities. Gibson was nice in every regard but just nice. The Fire on Fire had a bit of mystery there. Laura Gibson - 3 Fire on Fire - 3.5 My official vote goes to Fire on Fire
Divaman 05.30.20	Thanks Doof, that was fast. I didn't even get the chance to start listening to these yet.
Divaman 05.30.20	0-1 Laura Gibson - Fire on Fire - Doof
Friday13th 05.30.20	Love the album art on both of these.
NorthernSkylark 05.30.20	mommy theres a wolf leaning out of me window
Jethro42 05.31.20	I really dig the second part of 1. ''Tenderness'' and the last one are such great songs. Will listen to 2 as soon as I can.
Divaman 05.31.20	I have a pretty clear preference after the first listen. We'll see if that holds up for the second listen.
neekafat 05.31.20	Agreed Friday these are beauts
bgillesp 05.31.20	I didn’t even think about bluegrass/folk being eligible for this, but since it is, I have a great rec for next year’s iteration of this tourney. I love bluegrass. Both of these albums are very good. Why do I like everything?
Divaman 06.01.20	Laura Gibson - This isn't really a folk album - I suspect her previous work was probably more folky/alt country - this feels to me more like light jazz pop. It is a good album though. I especially like "Slow Joke Grin". Unfortunately, for Laura, though, she runs into a buzzsaw with Fire on Fire. This album is weird and wonderful, with multiple singers. I wasn't familiar with this band, or with Cerberus Shoal, the band they grew out of, but I will listen to more of both in the future. My vote is for Fire on Fire.
Divaman 06.01.20	0-2 Laura Gibson - Fire on Fire - Doof, Divaman
Divaman 06.01.20	Omg, I agreed with Doof! Take my temperature, quick!
neekafat 06.01.20	Loving 1 so far You could've easily convinced me that "Marjory" was a Regina Spektor song I somehow missed
aydross121 06.01.20	Yeah 1 is one of my favorites so far here. Domestication and Tenderness are great. Also don't feel like it's folk but its a good album nonetheless.
neekafat 06.02.20	It's folk-y, which is more folk than some of the other recs here It's definitely folk influenced I can say. I really liked 2 also, surprisingly. Gonna give them another listen before rating officially, but diva if you don't hear back from by voting time, count me for 1
Deathconscious 06.03.20	voting for 1
Divaman 06.03.20	Got ya neeka.
Divaman 06.03.20	1-2 Laura Gibson - Deathconscious Fire on Fire - Doof, Divaman
Divaman 06.03.20	Hey gang. Remember to get your votes in by the end of the day tomorrow. Next week will be a big week, with four matchups in one week (but all of albums that we've heard already).
Jethro42 06.04.20	2 is more of my style and has more to enjoy. 1 is also easy to appreciate, but wins tend to be missing. So it's Fire on Fire.
neekafat 06.04.20	2 is violently more sput than 1 so its easy to see why its winning
aydross121 06.04.20	Voting for 1. I think that one and the Amigo have been my favorites this tourney. Also I like to keep you people on your toes.
Jethro42 06.04.20	Brave you are, aydross.
neekafat 06.04.20	Yeah officially voting for 1 too
bgillesp 06.04.20	As of now I prefer 2 but I want to give another listen to each. If I don’t get the chance, I vote 2. If I do, then I’ll be back to confirm/change it
Divaman 06.04.20	3-3 Laura Gibson - Deathconscious, neeka, aydross Fire on Fire - Doof, Divaman, Jethro bgillesp - Fof provisionally
aydross121 06.04.20	also diva, Cerberus shoal is good too, although it's way more free form than the FoF.
Divaman 06.04.20	OK gang, very few votes in, and this is the last day for voting. Please get your votes in by the 12am ET tonight.
garas 06.04.20	I didn't really like any of these, tbh... If I really have to vote, then I'd go with Fire on Fire, since it is a bit more memorable(?)
Divaman 06.04.20	3-4 Laura Gibson - Deathconscious, neeka, aydross Fire on Fire - Doof, Divaman, Jethro, garas bgillesp - Fof provisionally
wham49 06.04.20	I will go with 2 here
neekafat 06.04.20	memorable is not a word I'd use for 2
Divaman 06.04.20	3-5 Laura Gibson - Deathconscious, neeka, aydross Fire on Fire - Doof, Divaman, Jethro, garas, wham bgillesp - Fof provisionally
neekafat 06.04.20	why is "Toknight" over six minutes long
neekafat 06.04.20	"Flight Song" is the biggest triumph on 2 because of the guitar melody but the vocals nearly ruin it
Friday13th 06.05.20	Doing one last minute jam before I vote!
Friday13th 06.05.20	I'm voting 2 for the variety. 1 was pretty, especially in the second half, but not enough variety.
Divaman 06.05.20	3-6 Laura Gibson - Deathconscious, neeka, aydross Fire on Fire - Doof, Divaman, Jethro, garas, wham, Friday bgillesp - Fof provisionally
Divaman 06.05.20	15 minutes until I call it.
Divaman 06.05.20	3-7 Laura Gibson - Deathconscious, neeka, aydross Fire on Fire - Doof, Divaman, Jethro, garas, wham, Friday, bgillesp The winner is Fire on Fire
aydross121 06.05.20	Yass. Doesn't feel as good when budgie forgot about this though.
neekafat 06.05.20	he might be protesting by not voting
garas 06.05.20	"memorable is not a word I'd use for 2" Well, I'm not you. :p
Divaman 06.05.20	I told you, budgie was pissed that I didn't count his vote a couple of weeks ago after I had called the week. At that time, he said if I didn't count his vote, he wouldn't vote anymore. He's welcome to continue voting, and I did reach out to him at the beginning of Week 8 to let him know that his rec was up. But if he chooses not to continue voting, that's what he chooses.
neekafat 06.05.20	He was just protesting a corrupt system
Divaman 06.05.20	And he can continue his protest, if he likes. Or he can vote on this round if he likes too.
Divaman 06.05.20	The new round, I mean. Round 1 is now closed.
