Pulpularity contest: Round one
Permalink Closed

It's boring round here with nothing to talk about, so I'm starting up one of those pointless time-killing competitions people try from time to time.

The rules are simple - choose winners from a set of elimination matches, each week the votes will be counted, winners will be listed and tracks eliminated.

The songs are seeded so we shouldn't have any Babies vs Common People, not for a while anyway.

Eventually there will be an ultimate winner, might take a while though.

So, here are the pairings for round one, week one.

 

David's Last Summer vs Duck Diving

Roadkill vs Coy Mistress

Babies vs It's a Dirty World

Live Bed Show vs Aborigine

Don't You Know vs Femme Fatale

I forget to say, if you haven't heard a song or don't remember it then you're free to just vote for four, or three or whatever.

I thought Robbie Williams and Pulp's relationship more interesting than another Champions League knockout of Pulp songs. Anyway...ftw:

Roadkill

I agree about Dirty World, it's clear that Jarv was off his face bless him. But even so, you're still a massive traitor!

 

 

In all seriousness though, it was really difficult for me to pick between the two.

It's possibly my favourite Pulp single and one of my favourite songs but IADW still leaves me gobsmacked six and a half years after hearing it having assumed it was originally discarded with good reason. Plus, everybody loves the underdog (not the song).

Ooh yes will they, Weej? what will happen if there's a draw for some songs too? I think it will be a shame to lose Babies or IADW so early on.

Ok, to make things clear.
Losing songs will be eliminated forever. All CDs/Records/Taopes must be melted down, all mp3s deleted. Your memories will be selectively erased with magnets.
If there's a draw I guess both can survive (hadn't really thought about this)

I get the strange sense that DYRTFT and Pink Glove are at some point going to compete against each other. If this happens then my head will implode from the sheer indecision. Be warned, Weej, you may have murder on your hands.

I must ask, how is it decided what goes against each other? Is it completely random, or is there a method to all of this?

It's done in Excel, and it works like this:

 

Step 1 - Songs ranked (1 = imperial-phase single, 2 = other single, 3 = imperial phase album track, and so on)

Step 2 - List sorted by rank (shuffled first to avoid alphabetical sorting / give it the random element)

Step 3 - Bottom half of list cut and pasted next to top half

Step 4 - Pairs of songs voted on

Step 5 - After all pairs have been voted on, copy second column back  into first row and return to step 2

....and so on until there's only one song left.

So famous singles will generally be matched against album tracks, more obscure album tracks matched against live-only 80s tracks, etc.

....I did say this wasn't interesting, didn't I?

"Not interesting? Sir, I feel as if I have peeled back the curtain and witnessed the magic happen."

 

I think I might be a little bit in love with you, Misshaped. (Also, you might be pleased to note, autocorrect just changed 'I think' into 'thy honk'.)

P.S. It seems that Sylvia is going to lose to Susan by a pinch, just as I expected really. It's probably for the best but I'm to miss that portentous old' gal.

You'll soon regret that statement, I'm twice as annoying as I am ever lovable. (I think I might make a log of every instance of bizarre autocorrect and then send it to Apple after a full year.)
