"Tusk" Survivor - Round 5

[sodascouts]

EXACTLY, and that's what I meant Sodapop. The Chiffonese have banded together........(shining light in your eyes)aren't you a member of the Chiffonese party? :lol: :distress:

I love both Stevie AND Lindsey (and even Chris lol). That's why I'm in charge of this game and you're not, Homer. And I am conducting this game in a completely straightforward, above-board manner. Things aren't going the way you want them to? Well, boo-hoo. It's not my fault.

[Johnny Stew]

And every time Sara was given immunity, someone was attempting to give SMAP immunity. :shrug: It's all the same.

Thank you for pointing that out! :nod:

Gee, and the "Chiffon Heads" were accused of being "spoiled-brat princesses." :rolleyes:
What's the old saying about the pot and the kettle? ;) :laugh:

[ontheEdgeof17]

We all should be proud.


We made it to round 8 before things started to explode again. :thumbsup:

[Sugar]

Well, of course it would be gone if it didn't have immunity.
But that has nothing to do with whether or not it's a great song, and everything to do with the fact that there's a faction of people working to ensure that the best song on the album (in my, and many other people's opinions) doesn't make it far enough to go directly against "SMAP," or whichever other Lindsey song makes it to the final two.

Me thinks some people are just too afraid of the competition. ;)

Obviously you're not afraid...

So you wouldn't be adverse to an immunity-free round then... ;)

[Johnny Stew]

We all should be proud.

We made it to round 8 before things started to explode again. :thumbsup:

:laugh: :lol: :laugh: :lol: :laugh:

Nah, we're all cool. Just a little bit of good natured ribbing this time around. Adds some spice to the game! :D

[Johnny Stew]

So then you wouldn't be adverse to an immunity-free round then... ;)

I stated quite clearly last time around, that I'd much rather there be no immunity at all. Each song having to duke it out with all of the others.

But I was outvoted. :shrug:

[Sugar]

I don't remember anything in the rules REQUIRING immunity in every round... ;)

[Johnny Stew]

I don't remember anything in the rules REQUIRING immunity in every round... ;)

Ah, but let me ask this... if it were "Save Me A Place," or another Lindsey song, receiving immunity every round, would it then be a different story? ;)

And how loudly would the Lindsey Alliance protest, if had been "SMAP" winning immunity these past few rounds, and the "Chiffon Heads" were the ones clamoring for a round without immunity? ;) ;)

I bet the "Chiffon Heads" would get called "spoiled-brat princesses" again. ;)

So basically, we can't have it both ways... we can't want immunity only when it's our song winning it, and we can't claim that the members of the "other side" are "spoiled-brats" for complaining, if we turn around and engage in the same behaviour when the tides are turned in their favor. :D

Now, now, now...if SMAP had immunity all these times, of course I wouldn't be lobbying for holding off immunity for a round. Nor would I voice opposition if others DID want to lobby for it.

I'm only asking... :) I'm, not posting huge red letters or anything. It's only directed at you because you mentioned the whole "competition" thing.

But forget it. Never mind. No big deal. Didn't mean to get your chiffon in a swirl by even mentioning the idea of suspending immunity for a round. ;)

Carry on...

[teedee]

im voting off smap

[GypsySorcerer]

I love all of Stevie's Tusk songs, but Sara is my least favorite. :mad: I like Over and Over and SMAP, so I'm going with That's Enough for Me.

[HomerMcvie]

And Johnny, for the record, I voted against immunity, also. It just f&*ks things up, BECAUSE, it's all based on who can sit here at 8pm, with a fast connection!, and answer the trivia question 10 seconds faster than the next guy. And THAT's not a democratic vote, in the slightest. It's most certainly not fair the the folks on dialup. The people who "have a life" -and login at their own leisure-'s votes don't count, because the SAME TWO FREAKIN' SONGS ARE ALWAYS GIVEN IMMUNITY!
Immunity SUCKS. :nod:

[HomerMcvie]

I bet the "Chiffon Heads" would get called "spoiled-brat princesses" again.

[Johnny Stew]

But forget it. Never mind. No big deal. Didn't mean to get your chiffon in a swirl by even mentioning the idea of suspending immunity for a round. ;)

Carry on...

:laugh:
Like I said, I'm not beholden to immunity. I'd rather see the game played without it. Though I do disagree with changing or amending a rule right in the middle of the game.

If Sodascouts and Rezamatic had decided right at the beginning that they'd have designated rounds without immunity, I'd be fine with that.
But to say "'Sara' has had immunity too many times, so we need to have a round without it," just seems odd to me. I mean, even you admitted that you wouldn't feel the same if it were "SMAP" winning immunity each time. :)

And for the record... the only things that get my "chiffon in a twirl," are prejudice, hatred, insensitivity, child abuse, and acts of aggression or violence. Oh, yeah, and the mere sight of Pat Robertson. ;)

Anything else is just a mild annoyance. :nod: :)

[Hawkeye]

OK guys, I've been gone for 10 days, so that's why I haven't been here to vote for SMAP, But I'm back and although I still don't know what's been voted out, I'm voting for:

SAVE ME A PLACE

[Johnny Stew]

Is it too late to apply for a copyright on that phrase? :xoxo: :D :xoxo:

Hmm... we might be able to work something out.
But you'd have to be willing to vote against "Save Me A Place." :laugh: ;) :xoxo:

Hawkeye, please be sure to edit your post to include the round number and the title of the song you're voting against in the subject line. :nod:

Otherwise it won't be counted. :shocked:

In fact, I recommend that EVERYONE type "Round 8 - 'Save Me A Place'" in their subject lines. Consider it a birthday gift! ;) :laugh: :laugh:

[Hawkeye]

OK, I've just looked at what's been voted out, and and I'd rerally like to see Sara go, because it's the only Stevie song on Tusk I don't care for. But until SMAP leaves I can't vote for Sara.

[jwd]

In fact, I recommend that EVERYONE type "Round 8 - 'Save Me A Place'" in their subject lines.

:laugh: You're too much man! :xoxo: TUSK would be a better "place"!

[HomerMcvie]

Hmm... we might be able to work something out.
But you'd have to be willing to vote against "Save Me A Place."
If I could guarantee one of my two favorite songs to win, I'd vote against SMAP in a NY second! Of course I will never tell which two songs those are! Those Chiffonese are BRUTAL. :rolleyes:

[Merf]

Over and Over. I'm just not crazy about Christine's Tusk material.

[Johnny Stew]

If I could guarantee one of my two favorite songs to win, I'd vote against SMAP in a NY second! Of course I will never tell which two songs those are! Those Chiffonese are BRUTAL. :rolleyes:

Hmm... feel free to PM me and tell me. I won't hold the info against you, and I'd be more than happy to help you further along at least one of your favorite songs. :nod: :)

I offered to help the Lindsey Alliance over on L.B.'s board, just so long as someone helped me get rid of "SMAP," but no one took me up on it.

But I KNOW there have to be Lindsey fans out there, who have another song of his in mind for the Final Round.

Or perhaps Christine fans who want one of her songs to make it?

I have two in my mind for the final round (and no, they're not both Stevie songs :p ), but I'm open for an alliance, folks. :nod: :)

[thepoetinmyhear]

Just to clarify a few things, I have received no PMs or anything encouraging me to give immunity to one song over another song. Sara and I Know I'm Not Wrong are my two favorite tusk songs. Seeing as how IKINW is not being threatened, Sara is the song I choose to give immunity to. The only real conspiracy here is a few groups of people, having fun, and conspiring to save their favorite songs (no matter how misguided some of these people might be).

As for dial-up vs. High speed, Checking this out you'll see two others who came in tonight at basically the same time so it comes down to who typed it quickest or who remembered it quickest or who saw the post quickest. Any of those factors are what affected tonights, closest, immunity challenge. I will say this, if I win immunity next round I will not pick Sara to help avoid any potential sour grapes.

Michael
SMAP MUST GO

[AliceLover]

I cant even they even did this on the tusk tour, it is so dull and boring. Put to sleep type of boring. The only good part of this song was the joy of seeing christine play guitar on the live version.

STEVIE FANS UNITE AND SAVE ALL OF HER SONGS. DONT LISTEN TO ALL THE TOM FOOLERY YOU GET IN YOUR PM'S. NEXT TARGET WALK A THIN LINE!!!!!!!!!!

[AliceLover]

Sorry forgot to put the round number in my last post.

STEVIE FANS UNITE

[thepoetinmyhear]

EXACTLY, and that's what I meant Sodapop. The Chiffonese have banded together........(shining light in your eyes)aren't you a member of the Chiffonese party? :lol: :distress:

And as if the Buckingheads (is that a term?) haven't banded together numerous times to save SMAP. It's all in good fun!

Michael
SMAP = Trash

It was funny that 4 posts all logged at 8:00 exactly. "I" drew a quick blank, RAN to the next room for the vinyl, halfway there remembered the answer, and three people still beat me by mere seconds.
BUT, how do you know the all 8:00ers aren't all high speed?

[Vianna]

Voting Save Me a Place off..

Heh. I was the second to respond (at least in the post lineup), and I'm on dialup.

I'm guessing the only reason mine wasn't first was because I had to go through this:
Refresh the page, see the red. Scroll down. Browser decides to snap to the top of the page. I frantically scroll down (yay, scrollmice!)
Read the question, exclaim "I KNOW THIS!!"
Click "Fast reply." Type frantically. Click "Post."
BEAT!!

So I guess it really depends on how fast you can type & how well you know your FM Trivia. *shrug*

I'd still like to see Sara die, though.

[HomerMcvie]

[dreamongypsydkm]

and over and ohhhhveeer.

[jwd]

NEXT TARGET WALK A THIN LINE!!!!!!!!!!

Done deal. It was just voted off. No tears shed here. :)

[ontheEdgeof17]

Another Chris song to go......Just not in her court this Survivor game....


-curt

[golden braid]

The last Chris song to go besides Think About Me which I love.

[heyjupiter678]

I'm voting for SMAP this round. I love the song, but I think it's time for it to go. :o

[rezamatic]

Not in this case. ;)

Sara is getting immunity because people know that it will be gone if it doesn't.

Not sure if anyone's responded to this claim or not yet (sorry I haven't been around to keep up) but it seems to me that the whole save-Sara thing isn't as much of a necessity as people believe. A few rounds back SMAP grabbed immunity and Sara barely came close to getting enough votes.

The thing is this - last time we had people who were in it to bump Sara out early and as strongly as possible (and we all know who that was). This time people are voting strategically but not as maliciously. I really don't think you guys have anything to worry about. Again, I'd love to see Sara/SMAP face-off. But the game is what it is. No rules changes. Nancy and I stand by each other :-) If you wanna fight against Sara, then get quick with those immuntiy questions - people are coming close as hell, but just barely losing out.

And now that I'm done, I've gotta go into work at 12:30 am after being up since 10am with 3 hours of sleep before that. So QUITE YER WHINING :p

[Johnny Stew]

I've been thinking... (I know, I know, the first time is always the hardest! :p )... and I've noticed several people want to get rid of "Angel."

That's the first Stevie song I voted for in the previous 'Tusk Survivor' (when "SMAP" had immunity), and I'd be willing to vote for it again.

So... uhm... any of the "Angel" voters interested in working out a little deal? A little "I'll scratch your back, if you scratch mine" kinda thing? PM me! :angel: ;) :D

[jbrownsjr]

Anyone catch the Nightcourt Marathon on Labor day? That show is so funny! I like 80's humor! I like the theme song as well. David you could write those theme songs in ur sleep!

:laugh:

[shackin'up]

But I KNOW there have to be Lindsey fans out there, who have another song of his in mind for the Final Round.


You all know that IKINW is my fave Tusk-song. Closely followed, sometimes even equal with Storms. Yes, you are reading no lies here. But trhis game has taken me to the ultimate fighting spirit: The votes of most of the Stevie-fans have been 100% AGAINST the spirit of this album, that I'm willing to piss them off to go for SMAP untill the end. I've been forced to vote against my nature constantly in this AND previous Tusk-thread. If you ask me now, at this moment, if a lot of votes were there for IKINW and SMAP, I'd be willing to do the ULTIMATE prostitution-vote. H*ll, even Judas could not stand looking me in the eye.

[Claudia]

Only to try to save my favourite song on the album - Over & Over (yes, I'm serious; no, I'm not on drugs).

[Serrart]

SMAP: Please please please let me let me let me eliminate you this time. (The Smiths sound appropriate)

Romy

[shackin'up]

Gerald, I'm shocked! :shocked:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Good! ;)

But, as I always mention to my students, exaggeration is my middle name. It makes things clear and I love statements.

[chiffon head]

[Kelly]

AGAIN>>>

Michael (poetinmyheart)...IMHO if you win immunity again tonight, you should vote for the song you want to give immunity to... be it Sara or whatever. Do not change your vote because of the sour grapey stuff around here! lol ;. ) Seriously, in real Survivor, there is no rule on how many times a tribemate can win immunity. If Colby won eight times in a row, the other Survivors would be mad, but would Mark Burnett change the rules mid game? Newp. For the record, I am not a big Sara fan, so I don't care, at this point in the game, if she gets immunity or not. It is my least favorite Stevie song on the album and IKINW is my MOST favorite, along with Storms and SoTM. I'm just saying the rules should not be changed mid way through the game just because people don't like "who" is winning immunity. Please vote for the song you want to save if you win immunity tonight! Don't change your game plan because of some complaining. If SMaP had gotten immunity six times in a row, I am sure THAT wouldn't have been unfair!

[Nightbird_Brett]

I still want to see Save Me A Place make it to the top 10!

[jwd]

So... uhm... any of the "Angel" voters interested in working out a little deal? A little "I'll scratch your back, if you scratch mine" kinda thing? PM me!

A wonderful compromise Brian. I'd be more than happy to go along with this alliance. Count me in. "Angel" can go next round.............IF. ;)

Hell, I'll even sweeten the deal. I won't cast a vote against IKINW until the final round, and then maybe, depending on what it's going against, I'd even vote for it to win. That's a Buckingham song to be proud of! :)

[dissention]

Well, of course it would be gone if it didn't have immunity.
But that has nothing to do with whether or not it's a great song, and everything to do with the fact that there's a faction of people working to ensure that the best song on the album (in my, and many other people's opinions) doesn't make it far enough to go directly against "SMAP," or whichever other Lindsey song makes it to the final two.

Me thinks some people are just too afraid of the competition. ;)

:lol:

You know why I'm voting to get rid of it, because I don't like it. It's dull and monotonous. I've said that numerous times.

[dissention]

Are you kidding? Even Carne admits Sara is a great song. If it were SMAP getting immunity all the time would you people be complaining. Thems the rules, you guys just have to get used to it.

It is a great song, but not on the album. I just don't care for the album version, therefore it's one of my least favorites. Live? That's a different story.

[Patti]

And save me from having to vote for this song yet AGAIN.

AMber

[jbrownsjr]

There's a video for Angel?

[amber]

There's a video for Angel?
It's a "making of" thing, but it has a whole live performance in addition to studio singing and practicing - really cool - really, really cool. It's cutest when Stevie and LInds are in the studio, and trying to practice a harmony, and they smile at each other and sing beautifully together, and kind of mess up once, then stevie flirty smiles at lindsey. And stevie's awesome charleston during the performance, in her high boots and all...sooooo cute.
Have I mentioned I love this? :laugh:
AMber

[stefan]

and over and over. Yes it could be you! Now- Round 8! :laugh:

[The Tower]

"Over and Over" is Christine's best song not only on this album, but in an overall tie with "Why"- so I ain't voting it off. "Save Me a Place" and "Angel" are about equal for me, however, "Save Me a Place" is a higher up Lindsey song for me than "Angel" is in the Stevie hierarchchy.

So, good-bye "Angel" (no Lindsey pun intended).

P.S.: Mr Stew, you can consider this a "back scratching" for any future bargaining sessions. :] :laugh: ;)

[strandinthewind]

I LOVE Over and Over and think it is one of her best. But, I gotta vote Over and Over off because I think SMAP is the best one on the record next to Sara (GRRRRRR!!!) and the boob flapping dance during Angel in the Tusk doc. rivals the panty revealing listing spin in SOTOM in the Mirage Video!! :laugh: - just greatness :cool:

:cool:

P.S. I LOVE YOU CM AND THINK YOU ARE GREAT!!!!! :cool: :xoxo:

Once again I am voting for "Save Me A Place"... the least spirited, provocative, and experimental of Lindsey's 'Tusk' tracks.

[jwd]

Ahhh, we tried Brian.

[rezamatic]

Voting will still end at 9:00 pm tonight, however...

Neither Nancy or I have been able to meet up online and tally votes yet, so there may be a delay before immunity is posted. I know I won't be able to be there in time, so I apologize in advance if she's not as well - it's out of our hands.

Sorry for the delay - I triple-checked to make sure Save Me a Place was indeed gone. I kept looking for dissention's vote, EnchantedSLN, ThinLine... thinking surely I must have missed them! They wouldnt let SMAP go! Oh well. It sure put up a valiant fight. :(

It surely did put up a fight, though.

[amber]

This is my least favorite Chris song on tusk. I can't believe the others went first. But now, what with smap and watl gone, i'm at a loss...i'll really have to concentrate. I think next after over and over...WMYTYTO? that's a good song, though...hmnn, this is getting hard! :shrug:
Luckily, in my mind, no matter what anyone says, TUSK will have 2 winners...
aaaaaahhhhh, that kind of takes the pressure off...

[thepoetinmyhear]

There were a few freakish reasons to vote for immunity storm: (1). it is one of my favorite songs and the stevie song I think most likely to be in the top two.

(2.) Some people (myself included) have at times made this stricltly a Lindsey Vs. Stevie contest and if I were one of those people and very angry about SMAP, the strategic target is the less obvious storms.

(3.)I assumed choosing one of the few songs to have only received one vote or less, those calling for no immunity would have pseudo have their wish until the next time, when Sugar will surely beat me.

Michael

[Cristian]

Fear, revenge, whatever. This thing has to be gone.

[amber]

I don't like the album version, dammit!!!!!!!!!! It's duller than wet crackers! :laugh:
Yarp, i always thought this a long time ago. It's growing on me, that lovely qualuude song (quaalude?) but it's still my least favorite Stevie song on the album...but usually when i'm thinking of the song in my head, i blend what i think of live and album versions, so it's a mishmash of my own opinion about different performances...

Technically you were both right - IKINW was rehearsed but I don't believe it was ever played for the Tusk tour. Michael, however, was first.

[Hawkeye]

No no one's paying me nothing :laugh: I never voted for Sara the last round because SMAP refused to let the door hit it on the way out :laugh: Sara is the only song of Stevie's on Tusk that I don't love to death.

[heyjupiter678]

Over and Over - I love the song, but I love Sara more.

[Sugar]

Technically you were both right - IKINW was rehearsed but I don't believe it was ever played for the Tusk tour. Michael, however, was first.

Actually, I believe it was played in Europe, if I remember correctly. I think David posted about it.

But in that case THANK GOD Michael got it so we didn't have another scandal! :lol:

Anyone? Wasn't IKINW played in Europe during the Tusk tour...?

EDIT: NO! It was TEFM that was played in Europe and not the States. In that case...DAMN!!! :laugh:

[thepoetinmyhear]

I'm pretty sure Sugar is right. IKINW was played on some european tourdates. The ledge tour database supports this by including IKIMW in the set list area but Kitten's tour diaries don't list the set lists for those dates and thus can't confirm.

oops sorry for the double vote in round 8, my sincerest apologies.

[golden braid]

I bummed SMAP is gone but maybe Sara can stay a little longer.

[thepoetinmyhear]

I was going to wait to see how things we're going, but I think it's clear that fans of Sara need to get rid of Over & Over (the second best chrisitne song on the album IMO).

Michael.

[DeadliestPoison]

Thank GOD I can vote for it again. Feels SO GOOD.

[sodascouts]

I vote Over and Over.

[Wldhrt315]

Strategic thinking tells me that there have been too many Lindsey songs voted off soo early in this game, and I feel the need to try and SAVE SARA again, so after a few minutes of thinking about my vote....I am going for Over and Over....

THANK GOD Michael got it so we didn't have another scandal! :lol:



Good thing. We're doing our best to come up with fun immunity questions that will force you to think. We don't want too many questions that have quick 'if you know it, you know it' answers. That way everyone has to work/race to find the answer - not just be there first and get the first post as quickly as possible. So along the way we're bound to hit a snag or two with debates over answers - but that's all good. We're doing our best to verify things ahead of time, and if there IS a big argument over an answer/immunity, then we shall deal with it as it arises.

Anyways - my vote unfortunately goes to Sara. Not strategic, not for revenge, not because I'm sick of typing out 'Sara has immunity' - just because I find it one of the more boring songs on the album and I feel bad for Christine, losing out so many of her songs so early.

[Serrart]

Sadly :( , but Sara is in danger...

Romy

[chiffon head]

Cmon this is the next target. Over and Over is far far better than the ledge!!!!

Jimmy

No kidding! Over and Over is one of my fav. Christine songs & I don't think The Ledge is as good as Save Me A Place, but hardly anyone is voting against it yet.

Renee

[strandinthewind]

I love the song, but I want Sara, the second best song on the record, to win now that SMAP is gone (INFIDELS!!!! :laugh: )

[Kelly]

Sorry Chris! I like Sara better than O & O..so that is my vote this round.

Nancy and Michael....You guys are doing a fabulous job with the immunity questions and overseeing this game. Thanks for doing it...it is alot of fun.

[Claudia]

It's hard to vote for this song, but I like 'Over & Over' better (doesn't look like it has any chance though).

[Gazza]

Come on, let's get this drugged up bore out of here.

[stefan]

Crap, I forgot to get on & vote before the last round ended. It was fairly close, too... :sorry: fellow SMAP-lovers.
O.K. now Judas from the Netherlands ( :laugh: sorry Gerald, I couldn`t resist) keeps voting for Lindseys songs out of some obscure tactical reasons, you met Dr. Alzheimer yesterday, Diss went into observation mode last round while the Chiffonheads organized a professional high speed DSL account with AntiSMAP function. No wonder they always win the immunity thing and no wonder the best songs from TUSK are gone or about to go by now...
So to wash yourself clean from what you've all done I declare you responsible for the following: Stay up all night till the immunity question gets asked, keep up an expensive phone conference during this time to have a larger knowledge- base for answering it and last but not least go and buy some superfastspeed- DSL too. After that all will be good and forgiven :cool: Perhaps we then even could consider to start a completely new Tusk survivor thread :lol:

OK, TEFM is a bad song, onec this song is gone I will have a problem becasue I love every other song, so it will be hard to vote

YESSSSS, The master plan has worked.... Save Me A Place is no more ::::Evil Laughs::::::

OK, TEFM is a bad song, onec this song is gone I will have a problem becasue I love every other song, so it will be hard to vote

1. I'd be the first to congratulate you with your masterplan, if there was one.
The fact that that song survived so long was more credible then the fact it was voted out at last don't you agree? And then the fact that dissention didn't vote, one vote "forgotten" (enchantedsln), and still one 100% smap-vote on hold (moderators, when is Carnevaca allowed back?). I agree I sound sour and bitter here, and OK finally you got what you wanted, but at least don't overdo by using the word masterplan at your first success in almost Three!!!! weeks. You were lucky. Congrats on the voting out of SMAP.

2. The fact that you call TEFM a bad song underlines your bad taste. Look out with what you say or you'll have to type the same vote everynight AGAIN!!!!!

ROUND 9 THAT'S ENOUGH FOR ME

[mondaymornin1]

I'll keep Sara over this one, but it's not one of my favs either.....

[shackin'up]

O.K. now Judas from the Netherlands ( :laugh: sorry Gerald, I couldn`t resist) keeps voting for Lindseys songs out of some obscure tactical reasons...

Stefan, my dear german friend,

I owe you an apology for my TWO (nothing more) votes for Lindsey-songs.
But to set things straight: One was during a round with two LB-songs under the axe, and I had my reasons to save one of them. It was at a time that a vote for any other song would not have made the difference. So I voted out TAFE , SMAP stayed. By one vote difference. The chiffonheads must have pulled their hairs out.

The other one was in the dramatic WATL- SMAP round. A lot of votes for Angel but by the time I voted the difference was 8 votes between Angel and SMAP. WATL was about 4 votes behind Smap, so I figured that voting for WATL was needed to save Smap. Some other ledgies who wanted to go for Angel changed their route, too, and together we saved Smap. Again.

I am really NOT proud of those votes but I was eager to clear out some of the obscure strategy you were talking about. Nothing obscure my friend. Just coldhearted placed bullseye shots. From now on I’ll vote 100% by my own taste. Unless I see the possibility to piss those pink boa’s off. :lol:

[chiffon head]

[HomerMcvie]

From now on I’ll vote 100% by my own taste. Unless I see the possibility to piss those pink boa’s off.

yes, when is he? you didn't think we'd forget about him, did you?

[dissention]

Yes, when? I have to admit, this place isn't the same without him.

[Johnny Stew]

Crikey, I almost typed "Save Me A Place" in my subject line, it got to be such a habit! :laugh: :shocked: :laugh:

I looked around at what's left... and I looked around at what's being voted for... and I decided to vote against "Over And Over."

I feel guilty for voting to eliminate yet another Christine song, but my faves of hers are all pretty much gone, and "Over & Over" and "Never Make Me Cry" are my least faves.
If this song was already gone, and one of my favorite Chris tracks was in jeopardy, then I'd have voted for "Angel."

(Oh, and I might as well apologize to Amber, Nancy and Sharon now, because "Angel" will, in all likelyhood, be the song I vote for in Round 10.) :sorry:

[Patti]

This round I vote off Christine; next stop Stevieland!

[Johnny Stew]

SMAP stayed. By one vote difference. The chiffonheads must have pulled their hairs out.

You have it wrong, Gerald... I'm sorry to say.
It wasn't the "Chiffon Heads" working to eliminate "Save Me A Place."
That was the assumption by many, of course, but it's not the truth.

The only "faction" working to eliminate "Save Me A Place," were those of us who severely dislike that song.
Many of whom have also voted against "Sara" at various times, and don't want it to proceed any further in the game either.

So, as leader of this particular "terrorist" organization, I just want to say that the "Anti-SMAPers" take full responsibility for this. We want full credit to be given to us for all of our hard work, not to those darn "Chiffon Heads"! ;)

[Mari]

but his best song is gone already :(

[strandinthewind]

Lindsey can still win :nod: All is not lost.

But, now that SMAP is gone - he should not. Sara should as it is the second best after SMAP :cool: :wavey:

Thus, the debate rages on!!!! :laugh:

[TheBlueLamp]

Jumping in kinda late into the game...hope it's ok.

[amber]

but his best song is gone already :(
Suck it up! Everyone feels that way about some song that leaves...I might commit suicide when Angel goes... :laugh: :lol:
And aren't you glad that other people think some of Lindsey's other songs are the best? this way, everyone likes Lindsey....
I hope this little pep talk has helped.... :laugh: :wavey:

beware of the scorn of a blackledgie, dear. I'll warn you once.

[Johnny Stew]

Lindsey can still win :nod: All is not lost.

There is indeed a very good chance Lindsey will still win this.
Thankfully, one of my fave Lindsey songs is still in the running, and hopefully it will make it to the top.

THIS song actually exemplifies the "spirit of 'Tusk'" that we so often discuss and debate, because it's boisterous and bold and daring and full of life.
"Ballsy" is a good word, in fact.

And that, to me, is Lindsey's crowning achievement in regards to 'Tusk,' and THAT is the spirit that we should be supporting.
"Save Me A Place" does not represent that spirit to me. :shrug:

[amber]

I'm listening to the Tusk rehearshal of SMAP right now and I just don't get the hatred towards it at all! It's such a beautiful song. I can understand why some people hate The Ledge, since it's "radical", punk-influenced Lindsey but SMAP? :distress:

I do love Sara, Strand, its one of my favourite songs ever , but I admit it would also be nice to see The Ledge win this thing.
I just don't think it is beautiful, that's the exact reason I don't like it. I think it sounds mostly like a droning, atonal dirge. It's almost kinda pretty in a couple places, but then, no, still atonal. And, it's slow, to boot...I don't hate it, like, say, I hate people who poach cheetahs, or corned beef and cabbage...it's just my least favorite on Tusk.
I love the ledge, it's fast, layered, fast, upbeat, fast, and there's weird harmonies.
AMber

[face of glass]

And why the vendetta against Angel, eh? :p

Of course I could say it's just another Chiffonese drone but you all know I try to be above all that. ;)

...atonal dirge...

Whoah, so you think it's like Boulez. Or freeform jazz. Who knows, it might be actually more daring than some people think it is. ;)

[sodascouts]

I do love Sara, Strand, its one of my favourite songs ever , but I admit it would also be nice to see The Ledge win this thing.

Ugh, not the Ledge - TEFM! That's the one that must survive!

[amber]

There are people who poach corned beef and cabbage!!! :shocked: :lol: :xoxo:

Amber, I guess I was just surprised by the apparent hatred towards SMAP, (and Sara too actually). It seems so inoffensive to me.
Yeah, it is fairly inoffensive...in the way I described. Strangely, I've hardly been a huge fan of Sara for the same reasons...although i do like sara better, and i'm not saying sara SOUNDS LIKE smap...but uh, whatever.
And yeah, they just busted a big, big Corned Beef & Cabbage poaching ring here...CB&C runs wild in our forests, you know.... :laugh: It's a bigger problem around St. Patrick's day, of course, but still... :laugh:

[The Tower]

(This is in reply to Gaius - forgot to quote him)
Mmmm, I know a lot of people here will think I'm sacrilegious but I think Sisters Of The Moon is Stevie most contrived and least inspired moment on Tusk. Sure it's a show-stopper live but on the record... I don't know, it definitely feels like she said to herself "I must write another rockin' mysterious woman-type song in the mould of Rhiannon". The single version is cool though, I like the way it just cuts out!

Ooooooooo, no! "Sisters of the Moon" is so inspired and so, so creeped out!!

This is way more inspired than "Rhiannon" ever was- at least "Sisters.." is based on Stevie's reality- whereas "Rhiannon" is just some cheesy allegory.

Every time I hear that song I get chills. It's the ultimate "rock-n-roll woman on tour" song. So much imagery!!

:thumbsup:

[HomerMcvie]

I like that song too. It's punk meets hillbilly boogie. Great stuff.
To me, The Ledge captures perfectly WHAT Tusk is about. Talk about a song that completely shakes up the music world! Get the dreamy Over and Over, then WHACK, The Ledge smacks you upside the head! :woohoo:

I have to say I agree with you... "Sisters Of The Moon" seems like a self-conscious nod to "Rhiannon" and "Gold Dust Woman."
It's notable in the lyrics, and then the chosen production-style most definitely drums that point home.

"Angel" is at least funky, and rather different from anything Stevie had done up to that point.

Grrr... now I'm thinking I need to start voting against "Sisters," rather than "Angel"! :shocked:

[amber]

Ooooooooo, no! "Sisters of the Moon" is so inspired and so, so creeped out!!

This is way more inspired than "Rhiannon" ever was- at least "Sisters.." is based on Stevie's reality- whereas "Rhiannon" is just some cheesy allegory.

Every time I hear that song I get chills. It's the ultimate "rock-n-roll woman on tour" song. So much imagery!!

:thumbsup:
I agree.
And Trackaghost, may i say, you are SACRILIGIOUS. :laugh: ;)

To me, The Ledge captures perfectly WHAT Tusk is about. Talk about a song that completely shakes up the music world!

"The Ledge," "That's Enough For Me," "I Know I'm Not Wrong" and "What Makes You Think You're The One"... any one of those songs would be deserving of the top honors.

For me, it's clearly one above the others... but they're all worthy.

"That's All For Everyone" was worthy too, but alas.... :distress:

Again, they're the Lindsey songs that I think best represent his 'Tusk' mindset. :nod: :)

Aww, Amber... you know I love you, but there are certain Lindsey songs I want to help towards the top, too. So a couple of Stevie's songs have to be sacrificed to do so. :(

Trust me though, if I have my way, Stevie will still be representin' too! :nod: :laugh:

[77Rumours77]

1. I'd be the first to congratulate you with your masterplan, if there was one.
The fact that that song survived so long was more credible then the fact it was voted out at last don't you agree? And then the fact that dissention didn't vote, one vote "forgotten" (enchantedsln), and still one 100% smap-vote on hold (moderators, when is Carnevaca allowed back?). I agree I sound sour and bitter here, and OK finally you got what you wanted, but at least don't overdo by using the word masterplan at your first success in almost Three!!!! weeks. You were lucky. Congrats on the voting out of SMAP.

2. The fact that you call TEFM a bad song underlines your bad taste. Look out with what you say or you'll have to type the same vote everynight AGAIN!!!!!

hmmmmm.... Someone is a little touchy...... :wavey:

Do it! SOTM IS too self-indulgent, despite the coolness of the guitar solo. SAVE ANGEL! VOTE SOTM!

[amber]

Even if SOTM is a nod to Rhiannon and GDW, well....wait, why does it have to be a nod to them? Sometimes bands and singer/songwriters write songs that have a certain feel that their other songs also have. You know, because they MIGHT SOUND LIKE THEMSELVES? Hello? But even if it is a "nod", it certainly isn't an inferior nod, IMO. I mean, to me, Lindsey's TUSK songs sound very related, and practically ALL of CMcVie's songs sound close to each other...so big whoop. So some of Stevie's songs sound like other stevie songs... :shrug: Doesn't make them bad... :nod:

Don't get me wrong... I'm not saying it's bad in any way. I don't really consider it self-derivative either.
I'm a big fan of leitmotif, so I love it when songs have a thematic or musical connection to the songwriter's previous work.

But I think "Sisters" may have been a bit too calculated of an attempt to capture the vibe of "Rhiannon" and "Gold Dust Woman."

Beyond that, I just think some of Stevie's other 'Tusk' songs are more deserving of a shot at the top spot, because they find her exploring territory that she had only lightly touched upon in her work prior to 1979, or hadn't touched upon at all.
"Sisters" is an extension of something she had already proven her hand at.

AND - given the INCREDIBLE piano demo and that SOTM was written around the time of the White Album and GDW, that nod to Rhiannon on the album cut came from the producer who was . . . LB :cool:

ah, whatever. I guess I don't care what anyone had done before, or was trying to do, or making GUESSES that it was calculated...I hear a great song, and i think, wow, another great song. I sure do like this great song. Doesn't this song sound great? I love listening to it. :laugh:

My dear, Amber... it's not that I don't love it and think it's great. But this is 'Survivor,' and I have to find reasons why some songs are "less great" than others. And, conversely, why some songs are "greater" than others.
Otherwise I'd never be able to choose! :laugh:

Stevie's whole life is contrived. And how do you know? And i hate to hear SOTM in the same sentence with HATE.
Anyway, I wasn't gonna talk about that.
I just wanted to say, that before other people started talking about SOTM being like Rhiannon and GDW the thought never crossed my mind. so maybe it's not as alike as you say. And lemme just add that no matter how much I love the other members, Stevie is the most unique one in the band, the one that has "contrived" to do something the least out of "everyone".

SOTM live is a COMPLETLY different animal. I maintain that if that Mirage concert version didn't exist, this song wouldn't get nearly the love that it does.

I mean c'mon? WTF is a "sister of the moon" except some vague "Stevie-sounding" shawl draped thing? It's contrived!

And the demo is cool (listening to it now), but I'm not sure where it should have been taken to for the album. One thing's for sure; it didn't end up in the right place anyway!

This is easily her weakest thing on the album, and I was certian I was the only one who felt this way. Color me thrilled to learn I am not!

I think it's incredible that people like Nightbird_Brett and myself and tons of others who actually love and appreciate BOTH Stevie & Lindsey's Tusk work are being polarized to one side or another (The "Choose Sides or Die" mentality). I love Sara and Save Me A Place. I love That's All For Everyone and I love Sisters of the Moon. Get over it. :rolleyes:

Those of us who love them both (even if we can't help but have a slight preference towards one or the other) always get stuck in the middle. :distress:

That's why I wanted to make clear that the votes against "Save Me A Place" were not a Stevie vs. Lindsey thing. Some of us just plain don't like the song... it wasn't about rivalry or revenge.

But maybe Mark Burnett is editing this whole thing, to create more drama! :laugh:

Well it doesn't take an idiot to realize that there are some people on this message board who will always make every single thing into a "Stevie vs. Lindsey" thing and it's quite ridiculous. Newsflash: It's not 1987 anymore-- Stevie and Lindsey actually LIKE each other now! Shocka! I know! :laugh: I just think some people need to get over the whole rivalry thing. It's bad for the fandom, in my opinion. Sorry to rant, but it's something I've wanted to say on this board for a very long time. There is no other board in FM Fandom where the "Stevie vs. Lindsey" thing is so pronounced, and you have to ask yourself why that is.

I realize now that TECHNICALLY it's not the same FOUR lines (the third line changes between songs) - but if anyone wants to seriously debate this, when too bad :-) Enough people got it right that it's a fair question. And don't say I'm playing favorites, because believe me, I want Sara out of this things a.s.a.p., hehehehe....
