Hey folks, if you need a distraction, we’re now accepting Prediction Brackets for the upcoming Best Album of 2000 tournament. Hope to get a newsletter up today about this, but feeling bleh, so we’ll see. No end date yet, but probably about 2 weeks or so.

Before I made each prediction in the runoff bracket I listened to a few tracks from albums I wasn't familiar with. This served me well. That will be rather time consuming this go round but I must prevail. I must win. I must force a prog metal album into one of these.
Just submitted my bracket! A few notes: 1. To pick the winner of each match, I added up each album's nomination votes and seed votes, and the album with the higher total advanced. Where there were ties, I advanced the album with more nomination votes (which also meant the lower-seeded one).
If prediction brackets are being accepted, does that mean the seeds are now locked?
I have submitted my incorrect bracket. If it goes according to plan, R1 will be the only time I vote for the top seed.
Already some great bracket names - "YOLO Tengo" 😂
I've seen 16 of the bands/musicians in the bracket in concert, but of those, there's only one head-to-head matchup in the first round: Neil Young (the last one I saw live) vs. !!! (my contest winner pick). Tough break.
