We passed the 2,000 vote mark this weekend, so thanks to everyone who has voted for making this, in our first two weeks, far better than we expected. We're up to 2,185 at last count. I mean, almost 2,200 votes in two weeks? Yeesh.You should see some brand-new features on the main site today: a Tell a Friend link at the top of the page, and links to Digg, Facebook and our RSS feed. If you haven't Digg-ed us yet, be sure to click at the bottom to help us spread the word about the tournament.
Which brings us to the tournament. Here are the biggest movers and shakers since last Monday:
Biggest Rise: Like Spinning Plates (29), rising six spots
Biggest Drop: Go to Sleep (55), dropping five spots
Smallest Margin: One vote separates Just (1423 votes) from Videotape (1422), and Black Star (660) from Fog (659)
Number one alert: The No. 1 overall seed has a 1,300 vote lead over its closest competitor.
First round 8/9 matchups: If the tournament started tomorrow, the following matchups among the closest-ranked teams would be:
Creep vs. Videotape
Where I End and You Begin vs. Motion Picture Sountrack
Kid A vs. Just
Like Spinning Plates vs. Knives Out
Of these, I think Creep vs. Videotape is by far the most interesting. You'd get their most nakedly commercial song of all time versus, arguably, the exact opposite — the last song off their free album. Creep will almost certainly have a voting bump in the elimination rounds among casual fans, but we'll see if it will be enough.
