Hey everyone,
So, now were on Part 2 of the Second Round. Part 1 ended in stunning fashion, with half of the matchups coming down to the wire: http://frogsonaloginabog.blogspot.com/2012/07/summer-psychosis-results-for-part-1-of.html. Expect the same kind of results for this week since the matchups are just as tough.
Upset Alert: I don't know if Sonic Youth over U2 is considered an upset, but nevertheless it seems likely. Other possibilities are Frank Zappa over Stevie Wonder and Elton John over Michael Jackson.
Matchup to Watch: The Talking Heads/Sex Pistols matchup looks like it will be close and should be filled with heated debate.
