Music Tournament Update

We're halfway through the first round of the best alcohol-free alternative in the history of 2113 Pass Road: the Music Tournament. Reflecting back, I must admit that I have doubts about the worthiness of everyone's votes. This tournament isn't about what song you recognize and what song you don't, what song is happier and what song is sadder. At heart, this tournmanent, pronounced Tour-NA-ment, is about looking inside yourself and quantifying the infinite nature of music, putting a vote into a finite receptacle, and watching the entertaining process of democratic ephemery.
