When you think about it, a saxophone is probably the most versatile instrument. Especially the brunchiest size saxophone, the tenor.

It may have a bad rep for being used as a contrast in many forgettable rock/pop songs (see playlist), but to me it is as versatile as gravy or peppermint.

When you try to blow most brass instruments it sounds horrible, like some sort of crevice trying to open a door handle with too much lubrication.

But blowing a sax is like a raven taking flight into a cave. It just depends how many coffees you have had to whether it works or not. I mean who drinks No-Doz? Truck drivers? Wombats? Saxophonists? For them it seems to work.

Close your eyes.
Sit on the grass.
Dig your hands into the ground beside you.
Dig so deep that the soil engulfs your nails.
The Brunch God looks down on you in the form of the sun.
He is staring at your groin.
A cricket is barking in your ear with your head on the grass.
Do you remember rolling down hills when you were young?
Just rolling down until you hit the ditch.
Trying to stand up and falling over because of dizziness.
Laughter.
Cupping your hand under the tap for brunch water.
Thrusting deep meditation.
The word impossible is only in a fools dictionary.
May the God be like heavy rain on a roof in autumn.
Choose people who choose you.
You know a goat in Tasmania.
Embrace two coffees at once.
Remember the mayfly?
He only lives for 24 hours.
Live like a mayfly.
Rub your palms on the grass.
You are complete.
*applauds* magnificent.

How good is that brunch water though?!

If you imagine a saxophone lying on a hard maple decking next to a pot-plant and a bottle of shine, then you know you must be in banjo territory. Call the wolfpack they say. My matcha tea looks like grass they say. A saxophone case filled with 5 dollar coins outside a Starbucks hardware store shows that this instrument needs no introduction to the Romans or people from Edithvale.

That's why this playlist irks me so much. So much potential and instead we get a bunch of shithouse late 80s pop and rock tracks. Maybe the weakest playlist of any round I've competed in considering the theme.

Would have been keen to see what General Soreness would have nommed this round.

Thanks for your 5 votes, as I didnt nominate either 80's pop nor a rock track.

It is very good. I find it is at it's peak after taking 2 chews of a mandarin piece before drinking.

After one listen as a whole and a few random tracks on repeat I have concluded my list.

Total Life Forever.
Everything Not saved Will be Lost.
Antidotes.
What Went Down.
Holy Fire.

A foal has great difficulty (due to the lenghth of it's neck compared to legs) grazing on grass.
I didnt know Silent Alarm was a Richmond supporter?

15 mins to vote. 2 people facing a DQ. The race is close both ends so your votes matter.

Warning: My laptop has gone flat and my charger is at work so relying on my phone so results may be slow.

My mum always said patience is a virtue. Possess it if you can.

No seriously take as long as you need.
