Hey Everybody,

Alright, this post is probably the longest yet so I'll get to the point. Here was how the last round ended: http://frogsonaloginabog.blogspot.com/2012/07/summer-psychosis-results-for-part-4-of.html

Like I said, the decisions are only going to get harder this time around, so it's time to put on your thinking caps if you haven't already. And as you can see, I've added a few tidbits for each artist and a google images link in addition to a key track. Here's the full bracket once again: http://www.bracketmaker.com/tlist.cfm?tid=428801
