The PMA Blog Wars are back from their alomst-2 week hiatus! I actually don’t know why it even went on such a long break — but whatever, it’s back with the second battle of the second round. Though, before We All Want Someone To Shout For and PMA duke it out, here’s a recap of what went on in R2xB1″

Nialler9 and The Culture of Me rocked hard with their playlists featuring Daft Punk’s brilliant “Voyager.” Both bloggers displayed some true electro-love with their playlists, but the voters decided to give the battle to Nialler 9 with 53% of the votes! That was close!

So Nialler9, along with Sheena Beaston, will continue to the finals. Today, WAWSTSF and PMA are here, both wanting that final, third spot. For this last battle of the second round, WAWSTSF and PMA used the Decemberists’ “Los Angeles, I’m Yours” to construct an indie’d out genius playlist.
