(Every Duel I’m Shufflin’)

Shuffle Dueling is a fun thing we do here at The Least Pretentious Music Blog Ever. The rules are simple: two of our writers sit down with their ipods or mp3 players on shuffle. They then write down the first five songs that come up on shuffle (skipping audio books, stand up comedy, sounds clips, etc). Then people vote on who has made the best random five-song playlist. After a while, the results will be be locked and the winner goes on to round two where they face a new opponent. Win and loss records will be created over time. Now that you know the rules…IT’S ON!!!

    Leah came into the contest loaded for bear with 80 Gb worth of music and 50+ Dylan albums. I’ll usually go with the underdog on general principals, but with Darion’s STP shuffle result I had to just vote for the obvious winner. Dj Shadow and the Pixies pretty much sealed it, however the finishing move came in the form of that Japandroids track.
    Can’t wait to see the next round!
