In March 1's installment of Battle of the Bands, I put two versions of "House of the Rising Sun" up for your consideration (and for your vote for your favorite, or least-disliked); a blues version by Leadbelly and an electro-alt/rock version by Muse.
So.....who won? Well, by my count, the winner won 7-3 (so it actually doesn't matter if I counted correctly or not, as I know the artist with the least votes definitely only got 3. And the winner is...
Leadbelly!
I didn't even bother casting my vote because I liked both versions a lot and really thought BOTH artists did the song justice in their own way. Congrats, Leadbelly! Sorry, Muse.
Be sure to come back on March 15 for another Battle of the Bands! Have a great rest-of-the-weekend, and don't forget to set your clocks forward! (I hope my phone will do as it has always done and just set itself forward for me; I have work tomorrow morning!) And with that, I'm off to enjoy an episode or two of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt before hopefully getting a decent night's sleep.
Sleep tight, and don't let the vampires bite.

The vampires definitely didn't bite, at least not last night. For two nights now, I've actually been tired before getting in bed. I blame it on getting all worked up over not being able to find decent internet where I'm moving. ::sobs::
DeleteKim, I hoped you enjoyed your blog this week as much as I did. Girl you've got some crazy stuff, and the rest rocks, Belle.
ReplyDeleteWell, geez, I actually voted for a winner, for once! Of course I'd have been okay with Muse too. Catch you Monday. ;)
Yes, you sure did!
DeleteHeh, I am trying so hard to enjoy the blog. I love the music hops and other linkups that I do, but I am just dying to get some projects done and take photos so that I can touch on some other things I love on here.
But projects require time and money (I do have a bit of project money right now, but no time) and taking photos requires the right light & stuff. My work schedule has been getting in the way of that! LOL!
definitely would have gone with the winning version - LeadBelly on this one!!! such a great song. brings back great memories of this blues bar I used to go to that was actually called Leadbelly's. fantastic bands used to play there --- even saw Steve Earle drop by one night! amazing.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's amazing! I love little blues bars, dives, and out-of-the-way juke joints!
DeleteYep, I actually picked another winner.
ReplyDeleteSee you on the 15th.
Yes. Yes, you did! I can't wait to see you and everyone else again on the 15th!
