Ryus 09.24.21	bowie rules but he never did anything as good as RiL
tectactoe 09.24.21	^LOW would like a word.
Ryus 09.24.21	low is close but ril is very near n dear to my heart, as is stop making sense
robertsona 09.24.21	1. Isis 2. Talking Heads
tectactoe 09.24.21	I’m assuming you have seen Demme’s film. What a work of art.
Ryus 09.24.21	multiple times indeed, total masterpiece
tectactoe 09.24.21	Had to scour the ends of the internet for that one; no US Blu-Ray existed and I couldn’t find another suitable Region A substitute for the longest time. I forget which region I ended up purchasing when it was finally available for under $50…but it was totally worth it. I heard they were coming out with a 4K re-release for US markets but never followed up on that. Thanks for the reminder.
Ryus 09.24.21	criterion release when??
robertsona 09.24.21	got that KG account just shout me if you ever need a movie ok???
Ryus 09.24.21	the kevin garnett account
hesperus 09.24.21	1. Isis 2. Talking Heads
tectactoe 09.24.21	No kidding, Criterion would make a killing if they nabbed that license.
DadKungFu 09.24.21	1. BORIS 2. BOWIE
CottonSalad 09.24.21	Boris Bowie
FadedSun 09.24.21	1. Boris 2. Isis Boris better become the Sput ambassadors
JohnnyoftheWell 09.24.21	^accurate ranking but missing the mark as a ballot :[
GhandhiLion 09.24.21	John Coltrane
FadedSun 09.24.21	Can I not do Boris/Isis? In that case just Boris/Bowie.
kalkwiese 09.24.21	1. n/a 2. David Bowie
JohnnyoftheWell 09.24.21	alas no, although maybe the format for the entry round next yr should just be to list your favourite 50% of the contestants. would group all the most famous and most nice ones to separate groups and have a bloodbath
AlexKzillion 09.24.21	1. 2. Bowie
Sinternet 09.24.21	oh look the most boring picks all made it through, how the fuck did isis get this far 1. Boris 2. Talking Heads
FadedSun 09.24.21	Isis pretty well loved around here. Just check the recent Panopticon/Oceanic threads haha.
Sinternet 09.24.21	i mean sure they're great but there's not a single matchup this whole tourny they should have won
Colton 09.24.21	I even like ISIS and they're a metal band and metal is awful
Colton 09.24.21	2. Talking Heads
Transient 09.24.21	1. Boris 2. Talking Heads
Kompys2000 09.24.21	They maybe deserved that win against sigur ros
JohnnyoftheWell 09.24.21	will accept argument on the others, but isis v sigur ros and gospel were nobrainers
Storm In A Teacup 09.24.21	storm silently holds sign that says “on strike, fire Johnny, fire whole crew that helped with this Hopesfall hating sham”
JohnnyoftheWell 09.24.21	sorry we can only afford a platform to artists widely recognised to (have) exist(ed)
Storm In A Teacup 09.24.21	You… You! You are so mean! 😭😭😭😭
Sniff 09.24.21	1. ISIS 2. Talking Heads
Storm In A Teacup 09.24.21	Sigh… 1. Isis 2. David Bowie
Get Low 09.24.21	1. Isis 2. David Bowie
Sinternet 09.24.21	gospel's sole album destroys anything isis has ever done not even close
Get Low 09.24.21	If you vote for Boris over Isis you're a progressive leftist struggling with your gender identity.
JohnnyoftheWell 09.24.21	what if i'm a far-right militarist who doesn't think the war on terror went far enough
fogza 09.24.21	1. N/A 2. Bowie
Kompys2000 09.24.21	Oh shit did I not vote 1. Boris 2. Talking heads
JohnnyoftheWell 09.24.21	please prove you are not a progressive leftist or the tournament is over
Get Low 09.24.21	"what if i'm a far-right militarist who doesn't think the war on terror went far enough" Then you'd be a chad who would have voted for Isis.
kalkwiese 09.24.21	"Then you'd be a chode that would have voted for Isis." True
DavidYowi 09.24.21	"If you vote for Boris over Isis you're a progressive leftist struggling with your gender identity." it me
JohnnyoftheWell 09.24.21	smh only two bands in all existence who do smart things with tones and layerings and cater to long attention spans and low tunings without ever making the same album twice and you still manage to chose the wrong one
Kompys2000 09.24.21	The only post metal band u need is Rosetta why aren't they in the final 4
Trifolium 09.24.21	1. Boris 2. Talking Heads
someone 09.24.21	1. Boris 2. Talking Heads
Pheromone 09.24.21	shit am I running this still
Trifolium 09.24.21	Yes.
Pheromone 09.24.21	Ok whoever posts next ur vote is worth 100x as much
Trifolium 09.24.21	💚
dedex 09.24.21	1. ISIS 2. Talking Heads
anarchistfish 09.24.21	Nah piss off did massive Attack lose
Icebloom 09.24.21	1. ISIS 2. Talking Heads
anarchistfish 09.24.21	You all suck
Demon of the Fall 09.24.21	Haven't checked in for a while and I see this is going pretty badly. I missed an entire week of Sput so didn't participate and am therefore abstaining.
JohnnyoftheWell 09.24.21	ngl this has gone arguably as well as it possibly could have
Demon of the Fall 09.24.21	I'm revising my statement... the final 8 is actually very good. Boris just suck and I'm disappointed to see who they knocked out. 7/8 is a nice result.
JohnnyoftheWell 09.24.21	boris > postmetal, byebye
nightbringer 09.24.21	1. Isis 2. David Bowie Easy and I genuinely love both.
Pangea 09.24.21	1. Boris (not too familiar with both artists, but this time i decided to take this contest semi-seriously and sampled a few tracks from both. All sounded cool, but i heard a little more versatility in boris) 2. David Bowie
nightbringer 09.24.21	"The only post metal band u need is Rosetta why aren't they in the final 4" Oof, hard disagree. Rosetta are basically the worst of the all the big post metal bands.
JohnnyoftheWell 09.24.21	probably accurate depending on how big you classify that pool. maybe they're better than amenra idk also @Pang Isis are tbh relatively versatile by post metal standards (but practically monochrome compared to the whole Boris discog)
Pikazilla 09.24.21	1. Boris 2. Talking Heads
Lasssie 09.24.21	fuucc kinda forgot about this fun to see the results tho
Demon of the Fall 09.24.21	'The only post metal band u need is Rosetta why aren't they in the final 4' I think you took a wrong turn, the bad opinions thread is over there >
Pikazilla 09.24.21	Here's a stereotypical ISIS opinion: Panopticon and Oceanic shit on Wavering Radiant. All the bad takes have been cancelled now.
Elynna 09.24.21	1. ISIS 2. Bowie
Icebloom 09.24.21	Few people know that Panopticon and In the Absence of Truth are actually ISIS' best albums
loveisamixtape 09.24.21	1. boris 2. talking heads
FadedSun 09.24.21	"Boris just suck and I'm disappointed to see who they knocked out" This is the hottest take ever. Boris are legends. Even Isis are fans of Boris.
loveisamixtape 09.24.21	and vice versa yea
DoofDoof 09.24.21	1. ISIS 2. Bowie
DANcore 09.24.21	Boris and bowie
0xME 09.24.21	1. ISIS 2. Talking Heads
GhandhiLion 09.24.21	Johnny Coltrane
ArsMoriendi 09.24.21	Janet Coldtrain
zeitgeistaddendum2 09.24.21	1. 2. talking heads
Space Jester 09.25.21	If you vote Boris over Isis you are smart and not like Get Low
Space Jester 09.25.21	oh yea and 1. Boris
Space Jester 09.25.21	"Boris just suck and I'm disappointed to see who they knocked out." Demon this is the worst thing you've ever said
sometimes 09.25.21	you are all twerps and dorks but ESPECIALLY space jester lmao what a dweeb
JohnnyoftheWell 09.25.21	space jester is the counterforce the rest of you are smelly footnotes
sometimes 09.25.21	and ESPECIALLY ESPECIALLY you, Johnny. you sick fuck

JohnnyoftheWell 09.26.21	you cast one vote in this whole tournament and it's on the wrong band smh
parksungjoon 09.26.21	isnt it the 2nd one
JohnnyoftheWell 09.26.21	oh yeh (the first one was also sad tho)
parksungjoon 09.26.21	fwiw theyre legit feelings lol
CottonSalad 09.26.21	I want Boris to win at this point - and I only like 3 of their albums? lol
parksungjoon 09.26.21	boris have more good albums than isis
CottonSalad 09.26.21	“1. ISIS” …. Ok park - I see you.
parksungjoon 09.26.21	its true tho
CottonSalad 09.26.21	I agree.
CottonSalad 09.26.21	…but can Hecker still win?
Avagantamos 09.26.21	1. isis 2. tim hecker
JohnnyoftheWell 09.26.21	Closing imminently !
Pheromone 09.26.21	boris bowie
Trifolium 09.26.21	Closed?
JohnnyoftheWell 09.26.21	yeah alright CLOSED
someone 09.26.21	"1. BORIS 2. Talking Heads here is ur template" Subliminal messaging, but I support it, so it's fine.
Kompys2000 09.26.21	"…but can Hecker still win?" [2]
SteakByrnes 09.26.21	how did boris beat unwound what also 1. Boris 2. David Bowie Don't care if it's closed :]
Divaman 09.26.21	You guys killed Bowie again. Murdering bastards.
Divaman 09.26.21	Oh, never mind. The results haven't been posted yet (and I'm too lazy to count them myself).
robertsona 09.26.21	I think Tim Hecker can still win
JohnnyoftheWell 09.26.21	RESULTS ANNOUCEMENT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-u_QjYsLsM brought 2 u by good committee member JesperL
Divaman 09.26.21	SPOILER ALERT*********** Aw, never mind.
Divaman 09.26.21	Nice job, Jesper.
JohnnyoftheWell 09.26.21	the final will open once jesper hits 1000 subscribers
evilford 09.26.21	I love that my 3/20 vote template made the cut
Uzumaki 09.27.21	Where’s the line to vote in the finals?
nightbringer 09.27.21	Wait, what? The video said Boris beat Isis but then said the final is Isis vs Talking Heads. Confused.
fogza 09.27.21	i was also a bit confused about that
Demon of the Fall 09.27.21	'Demon this is the worst thing you've ever said' Wow, considering the competition that's a potentially controversial take there Jester.
nightbringer 09.27.21	I don't really care for Boris either.
Demon of the Fall 09.27.21	I've admittedly heard 2.5 Boris albums and they have precisely 10x that, probably... yet nothing really makes me want to delve deeper. I'll revisit in due course, maybe.
nightbringer 09.27.21	Same here.
JohnnyoftheWell 09.27.21	Boris discog is a gift that keeps on giving, all the best parts of lower bpm metal without any of the clunk
nightbringer 09.27.21	Suppose all you knew about someone was that they like Isis. Which Boris albums would you recommend?
Demon of the Fall 09.27.21	I love post-metal (as you know) and have been recently getting more into Jesu/The Angelic Process/have been known to appreciate some Thou from time-to-time. I can deal with some slow and heavy. Pink and Feedbacker are the Boris albums I've spent some time with. Also heard Flood but don't remember much.
JohnnyoftheWell 09.27.21	Oh fuck ugh I hate this question Flood was a rly slow grower for me, but start there bc it's pretty and pairs their accessible and inaccessible sides together q well, then do og Heavy Rocks and then one of Pink or Feedbacker ig. Feedbacker is probably their most Isis-esque album (2nd and 3rd movements are the peak of that sound in general, soz Aaron), but you'll want a run-up to that shi
nightbringer 09.27.21	Too late Johnny, I've already clicked play on Pink. Heard it years ago of course, but I may be better placed to appreciate it these days. Will check Flood next.
JohnnyoftheWell 09.27.21	Which version are you listening to (Pink is one of those where you've gotta jam the vinyl ver with extended tracks and alternative sequencing or go home)
nightbringer 09.27.21	I don't even have a vinyl player, soooo....
JohnnyoftheWell 09.27.21	the internet is your friend
nightbringer 09.27.21	Right, yeah, once I took a moment to think I realised you probably didn't mean that I needed to play the actual vinyl.
JohnnyoftheWell 09.27.21	oh jfc hahaha no i'm not that much of a snob
Demon of the Fall 09.27.21	It is a great way of defending your favourites. No man, you NEED to play the limited edition vinyl, hanging upside-down whilst edging reaaaaaalllly slowly in a dark Ukrainian basement.
JohnnyoftheWell 09.27.21	if you ever so much as suggest another user jams a remaster from this point onwards i'm gonna comment nuke your arse so hard you continuously shit bloody mondays from here til your mid 50s
Demon of the Fall 09.27.21	I didn't say anything about a remaster, but okay.
Trifolium 09.27.21	Hello everyone!
nightbringer 09.27.21	Wild Trif appeared!
Demon of the Fall 09.27.21	Demon used Quick Ball!
Pheromone 09.27.21	hahaha jesper u are a gem
evilford 09.27.21	So when does the final go up
JohnnyoftheWell 09.27.21	hiya trif "I didn't say anything about a remaster, but okay." no but you forever kissed away your right to the based civic duty of weighing in on works with equally definitive alternative versions of any nature and i am pouring one OUT
ArsMoriendi 09.27.21	Nice video Jesper
Trifolium 09.27.21	Wild Trif used confusion! 🪐🤯🔊😵😵😵✨✨✨✨✨
nightbringer 09.27.21	Wild Trif ran away =[
nightbringer 09.27.21	Oh wait, no he didn't!
Dewinged 09.27.21	Isis and Bowie. And Bowie has already won this.
Demon of the Fall 09.27.21	'no but you forever kissed away your right to the based civic duty of weighing in on works with equally definitive alternative versions of any nature and i am pouring one OUT' I'd file a complaint, but that would require giving a damn.
Trifolium 09.27.21	OH MY GOODNESSSSS I did not even see the Jesper video it was SUPERB 💖🥰
JohnnyoftheWell 09.27.21	sizeable bet final will go up probably very soon
DoofDoof 09.27.21	Afghanistan AND the Sput popularity vote would be too much success for ISIS in the same year
Trifolium 09.27.21	No I'm still here waiting to be caught nightbringer...
JohnnyoftheWell 09.27.21	throws luxury ball
Demon of the Fall 09.27.21	He's friendly enough already. Not sure why my Quick Ball didn't get the job done, knew he'd be skittish so thought speed was of the essence.
Trifolium 09.27.21	Wild Trifolium was caught! Give a nickname to Trifolium?
Trifolium 09.27.21	Omg true Demon I was working so I did not see the ball being thrown fast enough (ironic!).
JohnnyoftheWell 09.27.21	Nickname : Trifdex
Trifolium 09.27.21	... 😮!
Demon of the Fall 09.27.21	Hopefully you've already learnt Sunny Day, could've done with that this morning.
nightbringer 09.27.21	I still don't know who's in the final ...
Demon of the Fall 09.27.21	Unwound vs Portishead
evilford 09.27.21	Yeah I feel like Bowie will crush whoever wins the other mu, which is unfortunate, even tho I love bowie
JohnnyoftheWell 09.27.21	hate to drop the bombshell, but uh bowie is no longer in this
nightbringer 09.27.21	Isis vs Bowie = two artists I love, happy with either winner Boris vs Talking Heads = two artists I'm fairly indifferent to, guess this is over for me
nightbringer 09.27.21	"Boris discog is a gift that keeps on giving, all the best parts of lower bpm metal without any of the clunk" Guess it depends what you mean by 'clunk' but here I am 8 minutes into Flood and still waiting for something to happen >_>
parksungjoon 09.27.21	talking to my girlfriend waiting for something to happen i wish it was the 60s i wish i could be happy i wish i wish i wish that something would happen
Demon of the Fall 09.27.21	'Guess it depends what you mean by 'clunk' but here I am 8 minutes into Flood and still waiting for something to happen >_>' Got 'em.
Feather 09.27.21	1. - 2. TALKING HEADS
JohnnyoftheWell 09.27.21	if you can't sync with the shifting delay rates on Flood 1 you ain't it
