oh god i made too many polls

anyhow, it's time for the last chance votes for #bcsongbracket, which will now be 44 songs deep instead of 48 because math is hard!

Up first: the iconic artists of the 70s and 80s!

next: iconic artists of the 90s to present!

we've got Spirit of the West, Nelly Furtado, and Carly Rae Jepsen all looking for a coveted second entry

next, Doucette's Mama Let Him Play, Grapes of Wrath's All The Things I Wasn't, Skinny Puppy's Assimilate, and Long John Baldry's (deep breath) "Don't Try To Lay No Boogie-Woogie On The King of Rock & Roll" try and get the final slot in our early era quadrant

there's an hour or so left to go for the modern songs polls but I'm sleepy so guess what if you're ahead at this moment, you advance

so congrats to nardwuar and dan mangan for their upsets of grimes and diana krall!

but that means we've got 4 of our 5 modern artists with two submissions, all having a last chance to get in the bracket with their strongest showing in the first play-in round

First! Let's see if Odds can get past a couple of one-hit wonders.

Next! Grimes' Oblivion couldn't get past Nardwuar.

But can it get past the song your mom listened to constantly 15 years ago and a title summing up the existential dread of the moment?

The Rascalz! They were no match for Moist (which i did NOT expect), but can it advance going up against the 21st century instead of the 20th?

Finally! Swollen Members has one last shot to make the full bracket, but it'll need to defeat Marianas Trench and SoulDecision to get there.

Three groups. Three very different sounds. One final entry.
