the wisdom of crowds

honestly, i expected the beer cannes audience to rise above the obvious, populace pleasing sounds of the joker and take the money and run. and i certainly did not expect the complete seduction of abracadabra and jungle love.

i mean have you ever heard one of these nights or the best of my love. not to mention already gone and take it easy. seriously guys, i gave you a slam dunk on the innaugural poll question and you did me wrong.

the steve miller band beat the eagles by a 2 to 1 margin and that is bullshit. you are probably the same people who tell me that james taylor is better than jim croce or that billy joel is better than elton john. they aren't. and the steve miller band, as awesome as they are, sure as shit aren't better than the eagles. i mean seriously the fucking eagles. they might be the best band ever...if it wasn't for hall and oates.

the sad part of all this misinformed hullaballoo is as wrong as you are, you are all the audience i have so i am gonna trust you with another question. this one however is one that i do not know the answer to just yet.

as you have noticed, over our first month of existence we here at beer cannes have touted the promising work of up-and-coming (probably on your face) talent joe wisner.thus far he has submitted two works of utmost importance to the current cinematic landscape of our city and now i am leaving it up to you to decide which is better.

so what's it gonna be?

the manimal video for the hit song like your mother or...
bacon

please view both of these and vote over on your left. those of you who previously voted for the steve miller band...please find some way to attone for the sin of incorrectness, i trust being a supporter of beer cannes that you will.

I really thought you meant literally who would win in a fight and for the last 10 years anytime Glenn Frey or Don Henley speak in an interview they whine like little bitches. So I figured Steve Miller would lunge towards them and they would cower. As far as the tunes, I only like a song or 2 from either.

based on that criteria, ryan, i suppose you would be right. but knowing how pussy most musicians are you know that bands(outside of brian jonestown massacre) wouldn't actually fight. no these polls all come down to the work. anyways, just make sure you vote for a wisner film. this city needs to start taking an active interest in the talent it is producing.

I was thinking fistfight, too - and I still think the Eagles would take Miller, especially if it can be a back-in-time fight and include Don Felder. As far as the work, it's the Eagles for sure. As far as mainstream rock, they may be the best American band ever - even when you take into account how awful Long Road Out Of Eden is.

that is great and all guys...but does anyone have an opinion on the work of my man joe? for real.. my audience is strictly the illuminatti of this city and i would appreciate some feedback on this up and coming auteur.
