Couple different storylines here. Can Johnny Cash’s 2, 3 seed in Division F hold off the upstarts? Can U2 get their act together and pick up their first win in the 256 after starting 0-2? Which song will switch your opinion from appreciation to annoyance the quickest, Alive or Jack and Diane? At any rate, a lot going on to close out Division F. Last stands for Violent Femmes, Monkees, and John Cougar Mellancamp. Grooveshark link is here, comment to vote or e-mail LTDdotorg@gmail.com. Nos is back in the driver’s seat for G, H, and I, votes due by Monday night at 8 pm.

Two of my least favorite things: Pearl Jam and the romanticization of perpetual adolescence. I voted purely on which one I have a stronger desire not to hear again.

I love Johnny, but again, really can’t relate to the prison thing at this particular moment. I’m the rich folk eating in a fancy dining car this weekend.
