Here is the bracket!
Some of the names are listed alone, meaning they will move on automatically to round two. (Because the number of contestants isn't a power of two and this is the easiest solution)

Just finished reading Ursula K. Le Guin's rendition of the Tao te Ching and I highly recommend it as a place to start with Taoism.
Le Guin put much thought into creating a timeless English version, recreating Lao Tzu lessons with approachable language. I hold a fondness for the Chinese language and became attached to versions that preserve more of it;* Le Guin's rendition removes much of the cultural baggage of ancient China (much of it gendered), distilling a poetic guide to the mysticism of the Way.
If you're unfamiliar with Ursula K. Le Guin, she was a prominent sci-fi/fantasy author (and my personal favorite). I fell in love with The Left Hand of Darkness years ago (really the whole Hainish Cycle) and have my eyes on the Earthsea series soon. I could say much about her works, but just trust me when I say that you'd enjoy them if you're already here.

Looking for something to listen to while reading up on Taoism? This one comes from a favorite album of mine, Ineffable Mysteries From Shpongleland by Shpongle, a psydub artist famous for blending in Eastern folk music into their electronica. I'm mostly a metalhead, but I love all things psychedelic and this album is a chill classic.**
The track "Nothing Is Something Worth Doing" highlights a core tenant of the Tao te Ching, doing nothing. Action through inaction. Wei wu wei. Do not do.
o()xxxx[:::::::::::::::::> o()xxxx[:::::::::::::::::> o()xxxx[:::::::::::::::::>
* I used to be a professional translator, fun fact. Spanish to English. And I took four years of Chinese in high school and a fifth in college, so you could say I'm kind of a dork for comparative linguistics.
** Not to get all dadcore in the footnotes, but one of my favorite ways to spend an evening off is to munch an edible, turn on a Shpongle album, and start a mission on MCC's Halo: Reach. (Sometimes I do multiplayer, usually just a solo mission of Firefight if I don't have several hours.)

This piece sure was something. It was really overwhelming, but I love how it came out! This is “Nothing Is Something Worth Doing” by Shpongle as I see it because of synesthesia!

Storm Thorgerson:
Because of the Indian tinge to some of the music, I suggested an idea set in India about a trainee Saddhu. The trainee Saddhu is endeavouring like a jumping yogi to levitate and float across a lake, like a skimming stone, bouncing from spot to spot, leaving in effect a trail of rippled circles across the water. When he gets older, and better, he will no longer need to bounce but will float. It means though that his arrival on the near shore is in a wet loincloth, dripping onto the stone floor below. The garden lake where the image is shot is situated in Anwar, about 100 miles from Delhi, en route to Jaipur.

Flight of the Conchords:
Most Fucked Up: Hiphoppopotamus vs. Rhymenocerous
Favorite: Carol Brown
Shpongle:
Most Fucked Up: The Aquatic Garden of Extra-Celestial Delights
Favorite: The Epiphany of Mrs Kugla
Propaganda: "every song transitions from section to section and kind of has "acts" like a symphony. it's all very weird, sometimes with relatively "normal" instrumentation but then the weird whispers or didgeridoo comes in."
