Best Decade Tournament 2000s: mike wins for realz!

[BigRedLedbetter]

but I continue to not get what the big deal about wilco is

Not for everyone I guess. Tweedy is one of my favorite songwriters.

Yes. This solo rules. Saw it live in 2012. Just perfection.

[BigRedLedbetter]

Stip,

Watch this doc if you get time.

[numbers]

I just read through the last few pages, and...


Stip has never heard Clint Eastwood until today!?! How is that even remotely possible?

[Norah]

[stip]

OK, this is a tune from probably my favourite album of the decade. I always think of my wife with the line "You're the shit and I'm knee deep in it" (yeah, she's pretty awesome).

Frightened Rabbit - My Backwards Walk

Spoiler: show

I liked that one a lot. Way more than wilco. It felt very honest

[stip]

spenno's last few songs were pretty quick. I guess he's earned a 16 minute slog.

[ABNorman]

I'm eyeing a 20min+ track for the 2010 tourney.

[numbers]

We should set up some kind of tournament where Stip has the only vote, but we all take songs we think he will hate.

Bjork - New World

[BigRedLedbetter]

Frightened Rabbit is awesome live. Saw them last year.

Also, great pick numbers with All These Things That I've Done.

This is one of my favorite commercials ever. That ending!

I'd easily win. I'd just pick all Wilco songs.

Too long, brother.

Hey everybody.



Earth - 'A Plague of Angels'

this wasn't bad, but it also didn't need to be 16 minutes long. I've also heard a few two many similar songs at this point, which is probably not fair to this song, but I do have some ear fatigue.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Hold On to Yourself

there were two songs I was VERY close to taking from this album. If we made it to 11 or 12 songs they would have been there. I've tried a few nick cave records (and speeno was nice enough to get me a bunch of them), and this was the only one that really struck a chord.

[stip]

nice pick, btw

If you wanna get through the long songs quickly, you could open them on youtube, click on the little gear icon on the lower right corner of the video, and then click to watch it on 2x speed. Instant classic.

You should do the same with Ed Vedder interviews, but slowing them down. It sounds like he's sloppy drunk. It's great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhHD76Io46U

[Rangi Guy]

No-one's picked a Radiohead song for a while now - what gives?

[PryTo]

The Get Up Kids - Central Standard Time

[stip]

my team needs to be lightened up a bit.

Belle and Sebastian - I'm a Cuckoo

I haven't decided if this is too sunny or not. It's right at the edge and could go either way. I'd feel a lot better without the I'm a cuckoo lyric.
