I'm kinda tired, so I'm just going to get this out of the way now, so I don't have to worry about it:

====================

#152 [#235]:

Name: Santa Fe
Origin: Reb Beach
Link:

Nominator: Mycro (11/15)

(3.5, 3.5, 6.7)

[Its not bad, but it doesnt immediately grab me or leave a lasting impression. Its not quite relaxing enough to get on one of my mellow playlists, nor exciting enough to get anywhere else.]

Reminds me of the old Weather Channel. I can just see this playing in the background of the five day forecast, followed by the radar map.

...That may be the new winner of "most boring fantasy sequence".

Something about it also kinda feels like an unused track for the CD-I version of Tetris. Like it was created for the game, but got axed for not being relaxing enough? I dunno why, that's just the feeling I get. I guess because Level 0 would also make good Weather Channel music?

Or such is the impression I get.

====================



====================

#151 [#136]:

Name: Boogiewoman
Origin: He Is Legend
Link: https://open.spotify.com/track/3LKmawKQZq5UhmXwZPJXNQ?si=cdv1le6jTom-XpSHoxp5lQ

Nominator: Bane (12/15)

(6.5, 6.5, 6.7)

[Dunno. Most of the song feels monotonous and I greatly dislike the Post-Chorus, but the Bridge is really good and I think I like the concept. Very mixed reaction, but it averages out to generally positive.]

I still feel much the same way. Parts of it I really like, parts of it I strongly dislike, and a lot of it I don't get--there's this whole debate questioning if this is secretly China White 6 and I don't have the energy to try following that right now--bring it up after the ranking is finished, I may make a go at listening to those later.

[Final Thoughts: ...Wow, I do not want to cut this right at the limit between hitting the top 50% of songs.

Unfortunately, when I look at the upcoming songs... I really don't want to eliminate any of them either... and after quite a bit of deliberation, I'm faced with the conclusion that I'd rather eliminate Boogiewoman than any of the next 10. It's tempting to scan even further up the list, try to find something from further up to substitute in at the last minute... but... well, this has to fall eventually and if it's losing against ten different songs in head-to-head competition, then it's unlikely I'll find anything to replace it with. So... full apologies to this song; I love the general dark vibe it's got going and it's better than "mixed reaction" made it sound... but... well, it's posted and done.

====================

Congratulations to the remaining half of songs!

...I have no update for you, as I didn't actually know what song was being eliminated until this second (you have no idea how many times I flip-flopped between Boogiewoman and [other song]). Rankings will resume on Wednesday.
