Side bracket playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLW9O9mntH1RE35F2S4u6Ie8w1o0jHPKXB

Rules:
- Listen to both of the songs. Links have conveniently been provided for both songs. Even if Song A is your favorite of all-time and Song B is from a series you hate... Listen. To. Both. (If I have suspicions you are not doing this, your vote may be disqualified.)
- Obvious contest rules apply (no alts, one vote per person, no rallying, etc.).
- Please make your voting options clear, rather than burying them in text.
- Each set of matches lasts 24 hours, even if the new one isn’t up by then.
- Always vote on the versions of the song provided, not versions from different sources.
- If you know ahead of time that you're not going to be around and you want to vote in advance, post your choices in the discussion/bracket topic.
- Please do NOT post tallies/score updates in the middle of the match, as this has a tendency to directly influence matches.
- You don't have to vote in all the matches, but it'd be cool if you did!

Spike in a Rail
Id ~ Purpose
Theme of D4

I officially don't get why people were obliged to get songs from the PS4 version of ULiL in and not any of the superior songs in the base game in, some of which I'd nominated in the past. About the only nice thing I have to say about Neo Bamboo Forest in Flames is that it almost feels like it belongs in the contest, unlike Occult Attract. Easy first match.

Blue Desert Hotel is pretty nice. Can't say I can even bring myself to consider picking it over Id, but hey. It's nice, which is a lot more than I can say for the other two songs I'm not voting for.

I don't care for the theme of D4 as much as that other song from it that made it in that one time, but it's still really nice. Yet again reminded of a lot of other songs that I like a fair bit, from some Gran Turismo stuff to the Mighty No. 9 main theme. Ah, and a hint of Bramble Blast, too. By contrast, Theme of Simon is... well, I'll just leave it at that I don't care for how ANYTHING in Super Castlevania IV sounds, regardless of how good the songs themselves are.

Neo Bamboo pretty fun for a Touhou song. Spike in a Rail also not bad compared to the awful Bastion vocal songs we've had before, but eh. Blue Desert is better than I remember it being, and Id's not as good as it used to be, but the match still isn't that difficult. Side bracket match just sucks. I'd probably take every other song above these two.

it kills me to vote against Blue Desert Hotel but Id ~ Purpose is too damn good. this match will probably be better than whatever finals we end up getting, even if Id ~ Purpose makes it.

Tough masters match. Easy second match. And man, that first match. Just a kick in the balls having to kiss one of these two songs goodbye so early.
