Something Bracket In The Mannequin Wilderness (Andrew McMahon bracket) Bracket • Page 28

Hammers And Strings (A Lullaby)

This was a pretty tough first round, considering that there's only one matchup! This song still gives me chills and his falsetto at 3:53 is still one of my favorite moments in his entire discography.

 

The Resolution-4
Hammers And Strings-10

 

I have a soft spot for The Resolution since my wife and i walked down the aisle to a harp/violin rendition of it

 

Hammers might be the best JM song, so that’s my vote.

Is Doris Day going to be included elsewhere? That could have given us an even number for this round.

 

I hadn’t heard tht one before. It wasn’t listed under any tracklist for TGP so I missed it

 

No worries. It's a fun song!

 

i know that it was included in the b-sides round when that bracket happened awhile ago

 

I think I’ll make a list of any BSides I miss and do a BSide round too. I try to include them with their albums but sometimes they’re so obscure or not listed

 

here was what the b-sides bracket looked like:

Round 1

Dear Jack vs Locked Doors

There, There Katie vs In Slow Motion (Sleazy Wednesday)

Broken Bird vs Dancing With a Gun

Lonely For Her vs Doris Day

------------------------------------------------

Round 2

Keep Rising vs Winner #1

Out of It vs At Full Speed

Miss California vs Winner #2

Meet Me at My Window vs Diane, The Skyscraper

The Lights and Buzz vs Winner #3

Last Straw, AZ vs Wrecking Ball Heart

No Man is An Island vs Winner #4

Cell Phone vs Ten Days Gone

 

obviously some of those tracks are ones we've already done here, but that should help

 

Hammers. Tough round!
