Best Decade Tournament 2000s: mike wins for realz!

[stip]

I was probably always going to pick a Decemberists song, and there are a few I could happily go with. I decided on this one for 2 main reasons:

1. For us all to have a group RM 2000's tourney sing-a-long; and
2. For Dwight Schrute (the Office was such a fantastic series during the 2000's so this is kinda my own mini tribute as well)

The Decemberists - Sons and Daughters


And in spoilers The Office version:

Spoiler: show

And reason #3 - the use of the word "dirigible" in song. It's been a criminally under-used word imo.

I'm not familiar with them. I liked this one a lot. great first impression

It's a fantastic album.

Brett takes:

Evangelista - Hello, Voyager!

is this really 12 minutes of a band tuning with a jack white impersonator squawking on a soapbox?

Seriously, what was the draw of this song for you? This is baffling.

[BigRedLedbetter]

Come at me haters. Girl can fucking sing and my 5 year old adores her.

[stip]

you're not gonna catch any shit for that pick

Big Business - 'Grounds for Divorce'

jesus christ, speeno.

[Jorge]

I love that Big Business song.

Porcupine Tree - Trains



kp

not really enamored with the singer, but I liked the music quite a bit

[stip]

Why? - The Hollows

i don't keep a list of people who have slighted me.

[stip]

As far as I can tell, I can go so...

Band Of Horses- The Funeral



I'll have a video up later, or someone can post one for me.

this was decent. I've generally liked what I've heard of them in this tournament (assuming i'm not getting my bands mixed up), but I feel like the decemberists would scratch the same itch, and I liked that song a lot more.

Tegan and Sara - Living Room



Fiona Apple - Extraordinary Machine

was this the song from your mix, chud? It's good. I should probably find the time to check these guys out. I've liked both of the songs I heard.

Well, I've got the go ahead, so I'll go ahead.

I had a hard time deciding which version of this song I wanted to take, but I decided to go with this one because I like the almost ramshackle nature of the arrangement.

Sandro Perri - Requiem for a Fox



And for comparison's sake, here's the original version I was considering, also by Sandro but under his Polmo Polpo moniker:

i liked the cracked mirror stomp in this song. Having said that, this could have been better if it was 3 minutes shorter.
