Despite a noble effort, the Mississippi Wreckers—the softball team of Mississippi Records—fell to Team Mercury this weekend by a final score of 10-4.

That means that we get to collect on our bet.

For an entire week a music poster of our choice will adorn the front window of Mississippi Records for all to see. Since we’re a blog of the people—plus too lazy to actually decide such things—we’re letting the citizens of Blogtown choose for us.

The poster options are: Godsmack, Insane Clown Posse, or Justin Bieber. For the first two, I imagine a field trip to Hot Topic will be necessary. For the latter, I’ll just steal it off Wm.™ Steven Humphrey’s wall after he’s passed out from one of his famous afternoon meetings with Mr. Bartles and Mr. Jaymes. If Godsmack, ICP, or Das Bieb don’t cut it for you, feel free to suggest a write-in candidate.

The top vote getter by tomorrow at noon—or the best write-in suggestion—will be the winning poster.

Ezra Ace Caraeff is the former Music Editor for the Mercury, and spent nearly a third of his life working at the paper. More importantly, he is the owner of Olive, the Mercury’s unofficial office dog....

  1. I think the Godsmack poster would attract more attention. Bieber is omnipresent. White noise. ICP is the easy joke. But Godsmack is just goofy enough to make people go “uh…what? Why is there a Godsmack poster up in the window of Mississipi Studios?”

    Have Steve drunkenly scrawl a message and fake the autograph of the lead singer. “Tom Godsmack” or some shit like that.

  3. A Godsmack listing in the window of Mississippi Studios would be confounding and hilarious. Can you please beat them at softball, too?

  13. seriously, i was about to suggest Creed or Nickelback. but, i mean, john mayer or dave matthews band would be my third and fourth picks…

  16. ezra: most of those posters *should* only cost approximately 10 cents apiece. Waive around an American flag in Molalla for 40 seconds and you should be able to get a Toby Keith poster.
