I just can't vote against St Vincent, The Mynabirds and Tom Waits. Stip has three great songs by three of my all time favorite artists. He's also got a pretty decent Pearl Jam song. So there's four of my top five favorite acts. And Fiona Apple and REM and Leonard Cohen. He's got a great team. As much as I hate admitting it.

They should be the first results on the playlist page. If there's any mistakes, lemme know.

I'd have sex with my team, too

But would you let it bite the shit out of your belly?

I'd certainly let it give me a high grade bj inside the car in the parking lot.

But does your team know condoms?

And it even wears them.

If my team was a sexual partner, I shudder to think what the last 2 tracks suggest. Theres definitely a bit of a split personality.

This thread got very humpy very fast.

Thanks, man. I was happy to make it that far.

I vote Stip. This was tough. Dig both teams. LMS has my 2 favorite songs out of the 20 (Holocene and Helplessness Blues) but Stip has the deeper squad.

Stip will take this one. It'd be nice if all the contestants voted in the final. I think we have 15/18 so far.

14 plus Chud and Kaius. We're all tied up at the moment.

To vote:

Bugs
Rangi
Bada
Dsb

this has to be a joke, stip doesn't even have a taste in the 2010s, he just picks whatever chud likes

I know just how much chud the people can stomach

other than St. Vincent and Mynabirds I think every song on that list represents an artist I have an established affiliation with. Well, cloud cult, but I've drafted that song before in other places, and had it on my secret santa mix. And I do really like that first mynabirds album. The St. Vincent pick was a bit of a 'give the people what they want' selection but I do think that's a great song (it's on my go-to current favorites playlist)on what is otherwise a hit or miss album for me. But I did want to have a few artists that started this decade, rather than carry overs. It did take up a space that I would have otherwise given to Amanda Palmer or James (though the latter's output is not impressive this decade). I also really wanted to draft Avant Gardner, since I fell head over heels in love with that song. The rest of her album is pretty good, too.

I pm'd them. I can only assume they haven't had time to vote because they just can't tear themselves away from my playlist.

this round closes at 10pm est tonight. If we're tied we'll keep it open for another 12 hours.

It'd be nice if this didn't come down to 1 vote again.
