As with all things in life, connections can be made through the natural turn of events, and through the perception of the individual. Today, I choose to perceive my periodic account of music played through the concept of competitive sport.

Afterall, from a certain perspective, this is the fifth annual season of songs competing for my attention. Like any sport you might be familiar with, this entails the upper echelon of competition that shuffles within a tier above the others, while in the lower ranks, stars yet to rise begin to present themselves. I spend a lot of time thinking about competitive fighting, so I suppose there's a professional wrestling bent to all of this.
