Blame it on Bad Brackets (Bayside Bracket) Bracket • Page 49

thankfully @ncarrab lives close enough where we can meet up and he can buy me a drink with choice hops

 

I and I truly have no idea how to fix everything related to this situation. Whatever the case, each letter must truly be a masterpiece if you want any sort of worthwhile answer; if you don’t get one, I doubt you’ll be able to blame it on bad luck. Please carry on with your best effort though so that we’ll be ok. Thankfully, no one understand what and what not to do, it seems, so I guess I’ll generally issue a call to arms for anyone else to take their best shot. We’re all just killing time online anyway, it’s not a bad little war to fight, even if its fought the wrong way. The time has come for the big cheese to answer our questions, after all, and I hope nobody will hate me for saying so. Something’s wrong if we don’t get the answers we seek, it’s not fair. Anyway, don’t lose hope because it’s not as depressing as it seems. Montauk.

 

@ncarrab you’re going to hate me, but you’re no match for @Anthony_

 

That’s it. That’s the post. Close the thread.

 

I consulted with the Bayside Facebook group, and they think we have all the extra songs covered, so I’ll get this next round going shortly.

 

Something's wrong with this one. I can't go on. But I will admit that this post must've taken quite a bit of devotion and desire

 

Oh snap, I'm in that group too. I just saw your post.

 

Haha, I was wondering if anyone was! Small world.

 

Final score:

Two Letters - 6
Mary - 11

Congratulations to Mary for winning the Vacancy bracket and moving on!

I guess it only displays the first 5 videos (at least on mobile), but they’re all there for your convenience.

This Could Be Our Lives is the only song participating that isn’t available on YouTube.

 

This Could Be Our Lives
Battle Scars
Paternal Reversal

 

Indiana vs. This Could Be Our Lives
So this is what it would be like if Bayside wrote a New Found Glory song, and I love it. I really wish this song made Cult.

Dancing Like an Idiot vs. Battle Scars
I'll choose the song with a message I can get behind over a song with a chorus that doesn't sound very Bayside to me.

Paternal Reversal vs. Count the Score
I genuinely think every song on the Long Stories Short EP is better than Count the Score. They've grown so much as musicians it's crazy.

 

Friggin Indiana is soooo good

Thank you so much!

 

I've got almost all the B-sides if you or anyone wants any

Including some rarer covers: Long December (Counting Crows) and I Will Follow you into the Dark (Death Cab), and Sorrow (Bad Religion)

I also have a signed copy of the Self-Titled. Somewhat sadly with Beatz's signature.

 

I thiiiink I have everything else on my laptop, but I legitimately didn’t even know Battle Scars existed before today haha

 

This could be our lives - seems like the underdog here so I’ll give it my vote even though I like both of these a lot

Dancing like an idiot - going to give this one to the more fun song but neither is particularly exciting to me.

Paternal reversal - this is one of my favorite b sides, maybe losing out only to winter.
