It's more fun to make him mad, anyway.

I Took Your Name
I Remember California
Low

I'm surprised low lasted this long.

I took your name was a coin flip with star 69. I had big plans to make a second account with someone's avatar and post the pick that way. Then I got bored and went with star 69.

I've had the 'remembering it wasn't fair outside' lyric from IRC stuck in my head all week.

It's not like it's all that difficult to decipher the picture-selections.

Also, I'm making chronological playlists of everyone's teams for the sake of fair and informed subjective voting.

GREAT SONG. I struggled between this and How The West Was Won... for my first pick.

I don't think I had heard this song at all until the last time we did this tournament, and it's just so good. I was really, really close to picking it, but I've just been loving Hallelujah lately.

that was probably the first leonard cohen song I ever heard (sort of)

I still haven't heard Cohen's original version. I just found this one while digging around for this tournament and I fell instantly in love. It's an amazing recording. Now I'm almost afraid to listen to Cohen's version. What if it doesn't hold up?!

Psh. It's awesome.

I Spy by Pulp reminds me of this song.

It's got the same problem as every song from I'm Your Man, the chintzy Casio keyboard sound. But the live versions are good.

This was tough, because I love the sax on Fireplace, but... Ooooooo-ooooowwoooooaaahhhhooooo-ooooooo

I think this exact same image was used for this song in the previous tournament, too.

For my final pick, since I have to have something from Fables:

Auctioneer (Another Engine)

Thanks team!

This was a ton of fun. Looking forward to the voting.

this is one of my favorite IRS years songs and I am appalled that it took so long for someone to fix it
