Shocking all by going 15 rounds with Led Zeppelin only to lose on points, They Might Be Giants return to the ring to take on another Monster of 70's Hard Rock: AC/DC.

Song samples

Istanbul (Not Constantinople)
Don’t Let’s Start
Birdhouse In Your Soul
Ana Ng
James K. Polk
Your Racist Friend
New York City
Older
They’ll Need a Crane
Particle Man

Those who have to do the dumb things they've got to do, we salute you!

Don't they have to beat someone before they rip off another challenge?

Nope.

Isn't there a rotation, though?

As I understand it - The rotation only applies when introducing new bands. Once a band is on the list its sponsor may challenge another band at any time.

Right, but I thought bands were stuck until they got a W under their belts.

No. You just can't re-challenge the team that already defeated you until you get a W under your belt.


That being said, I like the method introduced by Lenny Harris of doing all your challenges at the same time you bring in a new band.

Too much work at once to put up two bands at once. Maybe the kids can handle it but I'm too busy. Doubly so since I have to update the standings.

Seawolf, please just put some AC/DC songs up. Thanks!

And a few cocks apart.

I try and matchup comparable photos --- black-and-whities with black-and-whities, stage shots with stage shots, full-length with full-length, portraits with portraits.

It's my new hobby. A flattering shot of Steely Dan, though, remains my white whale.

Australia 9, NYC 1. Much better lineup for the Giants. But AC/DC kicks way more ass.

No problem. Just trying to make sure that TMBG voters would not be dissuaded. Instead Elster comes in a puts the whammy on them.
