I've softened on Leatherman a bit over the years, but its jangly charms have never fully won me over. Surprising, because it's basically Pearl Jam covering an IRS era REM b-side.

And I'm one of those people who genuinely likes gone. The verses are a little dour and feel just a bit like homework, but that chorus still gets me.

Gone is a great song.

Leatherman takes thig going away.

Gone. The chorus and “nothing is everything” for the win.

I've always enjoyed Gone. Never been a Leatherman fan.

i feel like I should write that into the core rules. Do abstentions in matches Leatherman is not a part of create bankable votes?

Only in rounds in which Leatherman competes

The same holds true for In The Moonlight, by the way.

Letterman is the most overrated track.
