I just fucking want to start the 2010s draft.

For real.

How long until this round is wrapped, Stip? Planning on listening to the playlists but I don't have too much time.

Do you like any of St Vincent's stuff? Or is just Your Lips are Red that you don't like?

I don't know much of her stuff at all, although I know she did some work with David Byrne. I just really disliked that song.

I think "Your Lips Are Red" is awesome

Yeah, but you don't particularly like All or None either, so your opinion on songs will be forever marked with a * in my mind.

there's a song of hers I may try to draft in the next tournament that's a fair bit better. The one Chud picked is also a superior song, methinks

Listening now if you can hold off, Stip. Maybe if any of them are close anyway.

me too. I need to remember what I should go back to when this is over.

I listened to the studio version of that song. Not nearly as good. Joey made the right call with his video.

I really enjoyed their doco from a few years back about the Shepherds Bush gig comment. I like some of their songs but not the delivery. But I can hear the quality of the songs.

Congrats to the winners
