Durden over Rangi. dct has a fairly safe, well balanced team. I tend to vote on an 'overall team' basis and then look at if there are any individual songs that are worthy of added attention. Rangi has 'It's Tricky', 'Epic' and 'Push It', which are all cool, but don't get him over the line on this one.

kp over dsb in a very close one.

Numbers over Lament. Although Lament's 'The Message' and 'Straight to Hell' very nearly got him home.

Pryto over stip. I actually rank stip's team marginally higher, but in this case the Stone Roses tune makes the difference.

The most 80s-sounding 90s song.

I once made a mix of. 80s sounding 90s songs.

KT - leave it open for 48 hours from whenever we started unless the vote total is already similar to last round and nothing is close

Only one of the match-ups is close. The other three are basically over.

But I guess technically we didn't start this (like KT said) until the evening of the 15th. If voting is supposed to stay open for 48 hours, then we have until like 9:30pm EST.

But I'm fine closing shop early if everyone else is. Again, only one of these is a tight race and it seems like everyone who usually votes has already voted (17 votes per match, so far).
