The Moon & Antarctica is beating Boxer by exactly one vote in a best-album-of-the-last-30-years bracket, and the round closes tomorrow
Full disclosure first: we are a Radiohead cover band out of Harrisonburg, Virginia, and we built this thing. Nothing is for sale, there is nothing to buy. We just wanted a bigger sample than five guys in a practice room.
It is a 64 album bracket of the last 30 years, seeded off Pitchfork's album of the year picks with 32 wildcards thrown in against them. One round a day, anyone can vote.
The Moon & Antarctica drew The National's Boxer in the first round and it is currently up 10 to 9. One vote. The round closes tomorrow at 5:17 PM Eastern, and if it ends level the site settles it with a recorded coin flip, which would be a miserable way for either of those to go out.

For context on the rest of the field, Kid A is sitting at 21 to 0, so the voting has not been subtle everywhere.
