Discovery of the Night - The Montego Beach Hotel Calypsonians, a resort-hotel house band good enough to convince several in attendance they were hearing an early Wailers track

Most Powerful Live Band Ever - The Who (still)

Peak Energy Level - Freebird, which claimed the host's German Wine Festival pint glass (for a worthy cause)

Line of the Night - Jon D., who said "I'm gonna pull a Robert Plant and go to the bathroom during the solo" during "No Quarter," and then did

New Precedents - highest number of media used (CD, LP, minidisc, cassette, DVD); longest song ever played ("No Quarter"); first song ever played that was written and recorded by one of the attendees (Cunnane's "Tender Bubbles"); first song ever played that featured an on-stage reference to one of the attendees (Turner, Radiohead's "Packt Like Sardines")

It was a good night. The wierdest moment of the night was when we couldn't for the life of us figure out if the Air/Beck remix should be at 33 or 45 rpms. And I got a chuckle from Bryan when I said that Neil Young's "Old Man" contained "gangsta banjo".

My favourite song title of the night was certainly "Baby, I Don't Like Your Clothes". Both Saul Williams and Kool Keith got played three times, although only Minnie Ripperton got played twice in the same round, which I believe has only happened previously with Ween.

Best song...hard to say. I've Had A Little Talk by Andy Bey was mind-blowing. Steve,I'll tell you this much: the best one-two combo was BDP chased by Syd Barrett. Or Jeru followed by Sinatra.
