Make sure to download the newest episode of the pmaCAST: Looking Better, Shining Brighter Than You Do, featuring Four Tet, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The xx, Yeasayer, Department of Eagles, Hot Chip and more.
Just incase you missed it: here is the first battle of The Genius Playlist Blog Wars. Refer to that post if you don’t know what’s going on.
On the first battle, Sheena Beaston and Pigeons & Planes went head to head and fought for your votes. The final verdict: Sheena Beaston takes a whopping 65% of the votes. Sorry Pigeons, but you’re out.
On today’s Blog War battle, we’re pinning up The Music Slut and We All Want Someone… together. Both participants had to create Genius Playlists starring Radiohead’s “Bodysnatchers.” This time it’s going to be a tad bit more difficult to decide on who to vote for because iTunes’ Genius selected songs that appeared on both of the lists. It’s going to be interesting to see which few songs prevail and snag your vote.
The Music Slut and WAWSTSF duke it out with Radiohead and co. as their ammo. Vote or Die!

I love this idea of the blog wars with a Genius playlist! Amazing!!
Music Slut’s is so much better, sorry, my personal fave!
where is the 8/1?
hayatbayat.blogspot
Music Slut has ‘Heavy Metal Drummer’. Case closed.
personally, timebomb decided it for me. i had totally forgotten about the song until WIll’s playlist reminded me of it.
we all want!
Both have lots of Interpol so they’re pretty much equally fantastic =)
this is a great idea. It would help if you could display them side by side just to make it easier to compare them. love the pumpkins inclusion
this was very clos but i voted for music slut. wolf like me almost swayed the vote but i coudnt ignore bloc party, interpol, strokes, and every other band in the playlist
Although I’m a musicslut fan, I must say We All Want Someone won this one!
