After many rounds played and thousands of votes cast by our many friends, this year's Music Madness Tournament (unlike its real-life counterpart) has managed to deliver a final game that was highly competitive.

So competitive, in fact, that when to polls closed last night, the two opponents had the exact same number of votes!

The polling software we use automatically selected a random winner, but we have elected to go with a solution that was a bit more scientific.

To break the tie, we have decided to go back and tabulate the total number of votes each band received in all rounds, and add those scores together to determine a winner. this process favored one band over the other, by just 6 votes!

Congratulations to Depeche Mode, our 2021 Music Madness Champs!

​We want to thank all of you who took the time to place your votes during this year's contest, we hope that next year's event will be even bigger and better than this one!

Enjoy your day!

Take a look, let me know what you think, and be well! Thanks.

Here is the archive of last night's live stream - Interesting goings on!

The preshow this week consists of feelgood hip hop songs from the 80s and 90s. The shows main programming starts at the 1:00:17 mark.

The show proceeds normally, until at some point around 1:26:00 we experienced a sudden computer freeze up that caused a reboot. Interestingly, the archiving process compacted the event into a mere 46 seconds of dead air, starting at 1:27:02. The programming resumes without further incident at 1:27:48.

Another enthusiastic turnout, and the chatroom was engaging and supportive, even during the outage, which was terrific. Thanks to you all for your continued, kind friendship!
