Division M kicks off with two different contender songs featuring collaborations: the more obvious Under Pressure, but perhaps the less obvious California Stars as well. That, combined with some stalwart classics, have me nodding my head already. Grooveshark link is here, votes can be submitted by commenting on this post or by e-mailing LTDdotorg@gmail.com. Votes are due by Tuesday, March 7th at 9 pm. May the best song win…and 8 days until we move onto the Round of 128!
