Definitely the guy in the bathtub.

Kristina S - she has an autoharp in her room.

Louis BK CK ANYBODYK (lpz), Thursday, 16 September 2010 05:36 (fifteen years ago)

I can't decide between Omar and Kristina.

Johnny Fever, Thursday, 16 September 2010 05:43 (fifteen years ago)

I ended up going with Kristina, because that Omar guy's a little too clever for his own good.

Johnny Fever, Thursday, 16 September 2010 05:45 (fifteen years ago)

I'm torn between Kristina and Steve "Bathtub" G. I think Kristina plays better but I like that Steve G. seems to understand Nastasovich's contribution to the live act.

Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 16 September 2010 15:57 (fifteen years ago)

omar is a bad singer and he's actually not playing shady lane right i think?

call all destroyer, Thursday, 16 September 2010 16:10 (fifteen years ago)

definitely steve g. or kristina; steve may lose some points for exploiting the cuteness of his kid

call all destroyer, Thursday, 16 September 2010 16:10 (fifteen years ago)

I mean, if the kid gets to go on the show in the suit, obviously Steve G. But it's not clear what the ground rules are.

I found Omar's vocals kind of fussy, but I'm not sure this should count against them because presumably the winner doesn't get a mike.

YES!

if the kid gets to go on the show in the suit, obviously Steve G.

YES YES YESSSSS

Wait, where do you see the non-finalists?

Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 16 September 2010 17:17 (fifteen years ago)

St. Sanders

This guy was featured in the Village Voice music blog after the contest launched. Not sure about other folks... YouTube?

is that video what happens if you're still a 40-year-old indie kid

seems like a nice d00d tbh btw

(markers)___(/O_O)-☞___ (markers), Thursday, 16 September 2010 17:39 (fifteen years ago)

ha ha, i am a 39-year-old indie kid and that dude looks just like i look when I play "Summer Babe" alone in my house. I even wear a ring tee.

Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 16 September 2010 22:22 (fifteen years ago)

i am opting to ignore the list of nominees and write-in rocker Eddie Van Halen of Van Halen instead; nearly positive it could be arranged and i think it would be a guaranteed hoot for all

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Oh shiz! I totally know Omar IRL!

peacocks, Friday, 17 September 2010 19:38 (fifteen years ago)

yaaay kristina! she's been a friend of mine for years now. this is totally weird.

jonathan - stl, Saturday, 18 September 2010 04:06 (fifteen years ago)

i once tried to make out with her. it was awkward. i was drunk. the end.

jonathan - stl, Saturday, 18 September 2010 04:06 (fifteen years ago)

I for one really want to hear more about real life Omar and Kristina.

Guayaquil (eephus!), Saturday, 18 September 2010 05:45 (fifteen years ago)

For the record, Steve G. won this and played on "Unfair" but I couldn't hear his guitar at all.

Guayaquil (eephus!), Saturday, 25 September 2010 03:37 (fifteen years ago)

he actually played with them tonight for a song or two in central park. was that part of the contest too? weird

iago g., Saturday, 25 September 2010 03:46 (fifteen years ago)

apparently kristina has been pretty much drunk and self-hating since the winner was announced, according to her facebook statuses.

jonathan - stl, Saturday, 25 September 2010 06:19 (fifteen years ago)

I'm sorry for her, but that's kind of funny.

Johnny Fever, Saturday, 25 September 2010 07:15 (fifteen years ago)

it's cool that Robert A. just decided to just submit a Built to Spill (?) song...

Fartbritz Sootzveti (Steve Shasta), Saturday, 25 September 2010 07:38 (fifteen years ago)

huh?

sonderangerbot, Saturday, 25 September 2010 12:06 (fifteen years ago)

Is she all critical of Steve G's technique?

Guayaquil (eephus!), Sunday, 26 September 2010 00:09 (fifteen years ago)

I couldn't see much. I was standing behind the starting five of an NBA team.

iago g., Sunday, 26 September 2010 00:51 (fifteen years ago)

haha. I had a pretty good spot on the left near the big pole. fun show although it had its ups and downs (Date w/ Ikea sounded pretty bad imo). Perfume V!

dmr, Sunday, 26 September 2010 02:19 (fifteen years ago)
