-
- TV & Film
With the alphabet in the rear-view, this special episode is the File Under: Entertainment Music Madness Tournament, pitting the 56 artists covered in season 2 to determine the best of the best.
Joining Eric in this journey are:
Super Producer/Co-host Jared, from 'Feathers And Friends' and 'Parrot Gaming Productions'.
Mark from The Evil Mark Show, the head degenerate on the fastest growing sports show taking the world by storm, which you can hear each Thursday (with ME!), and each Monday, for the NFL/(After Hours in the offseason) show, with Jared. Find out more information at www.evilmark.com and check out the Twitter feed.
Jake & David, from Life Is Unfair, THE 'Malcolm In The Middle' rewatch podcast that you can hear each Thursday, as they go in chronological order through the series. They’re also part of the incredible Twitch channel, Lets Play Deathray, where they variety stream all sorts of awesome content, banter back and forth, and interact with their community in amazing ways. Definitely check that out, especially on a Sunday Community Night, where you'll catch them (and also sometimes me), playing Jackbox games, Gartic Phone, Minecraft, or any number of fun games. They stream every night except Friday and Saturday's around 7:30 PM MST.
Jake is also a published author! That’s huge! He wrote a segment in Bi-Visibility, which you can order here.
AND Eric's wife Megan makes a triumphant return to podcasting to help us with our voting and upstage Eric with the laughs.
I get into the details pretty quick into the episode, but for those who like to read the show notes and know exactly what's in store before pushing play, here's the rundown (what the hell's a rundown? inside joke for Mark):
March Madness is in full swing, and even if you aren’t a fan of sports, or college basketball in particular, tournament time lends itself very well to pop culture discussion, which is what we are going to do here today, pitting the 56 artists that we’ve covered in this music season against each other to determine who is the best of the best.
I was browsing Reddit, and in the Industrial music thread was a post where a user was looking for band recommendations, and Music-Map.com was recommended, which is an algorithm based program where you input an artist and it tells you similar artists that you may be interested in.
Finding it to be fairly accurate when playing around, I decided to check which artists we had covered on the show were referenced on other artist pages. As I started to keep track I was wondering, what the hell am I doing this for, what am I going to do with this information, and then it hit me…..also being a sports fan, I knew that the college basketball tournament was coming up, colloquially known as March Madness, so I decided, File Under Entertainment will have a tournament of our own, to determine which artist is “the best” of those we’ve covered.
With a 56 team single elimination tournament, there are no regions and multiple 1’s, 2’s, etc. It is seeded 1 – 56, with the top 8 seeds receiving first round byes which means that the #9 seed, Bob Dylan, has the distinction of facing off against the lowest rank #56 seed, The Zutons with 10 vs 55 and so on.
After our introductions we get right into the matchups and just like REAL Tourney-Time, there are a lot of upsets and unexpected twists.
No spoilers directly from me, I encourage everyone to listen to the drama play out in real time, but I guess if you were so inclined you could cut to the chase and have it revealed for you by following the runners-up playlist link here, and the Champions playlist link here.
Some more special music related episodes will be coming your way soon, but for now, enjoy this feast of the senses!
