IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE?

So Pink Floyd shuts out The Pogues by a whopping 4-0 and Run DMC just edges out The Police giving us Momentary Lapse Of Reason vs. Raising Hell in the field of 32. 4 voters? Time to chat, people. First, here's next, let's do one of the big matches...

Pretty Hate Machine (Nine Inch Nails) vs. Uprising (Bob Marley/The Wailers) - Game 89
Purple Rain (Prince) vs. London Calling (The Clash) - Game 90

4 voters is the lowest amount of voters we have had in either of the 2 tournaments we've done thus far. Now, this is not a "boo you guys for not playing" thing. This is a "if we're over this, that's okay...really, it is" thing. I love doing this, I do, but I've got my top 20 albums of the year I'm working on fervently and haven't even STARTED my top 20 movies (why bother until the Oscar ones come out). I've also got a lil horror movie thing going on at a separate page. My point is, I've got lots going to satisfy my list/tourney obsessed mind. Working 45-50 hours a week means I either do these late at night when I'm exhausted or in between children dealing. Example: It has taken me 40 minutes so far JUST to type this, as I've also located 4 toys, built a fort roof, served 2 bowls of cereal, cut up an apple, taken my 3 year old to the bathroom, found something on TV twice and dressed a doll while attempting to finish this damn post. SO, although I really like doing this, if there are 4 of us left playing I'm not sure I see the point. I mean, the 4 of us could just have a couple beers and wrap this whole tourney up in a few hours if that's the case.

If we get a decent showing here, I'll keep doing this. If not, I gots nuthin but love for you all, but we'll bail on this one.
