Your heroes have reached the end of the second qualifying round and, let's be honest; none of you thought we could do it. You said we wouldn't amount to anything... well look at us now! In this wonderful episode, Paul, Mark and Chris are joined by another friend; another Chris - it's Chris Sermanni who comes with excellent musical credentials but is new to Malkmus World so get ready for some fresh, fresh takes. This episode's matchups are: Kite vs Shaggy // Tigers vs Signal Western // Middle America vs Juliefuckingette // Cold Son vs Discretion Grove. We appreciate all your messages and Mark especially appreciates the fan mail as he is, of course, the breakout star of The Malkmus Conundrum.
