I am nothing short of shocked that this place is still standing. 2832 Humboldt Street.
Friends, the getting off schedule on this week is 100% my fault- apologies. I was on the conference circuit last weekend in Denver, spent Sunday barbecuing with old Biloxi transplant friends, and the LTD schedule got away from me. However, setting this up I think it was fortunate that Nos and I switched batting order for this week. This playlist is really hitting home for me on the heels of a nostalgic Sunday. Hope you enjoy it as well, and may the best songs advance. Playlist is here, and votes are due by Thursday, October 4th at 9:00 PM EST.

vs. You And Me (Penny & The Quarters) 8 Definitely a Blue Valentine bump. I kind of like the lo-fi quality. If this had been over produced it wouldn’t be as poignant.
All Eyes On You (St. Lucia) 7 Fun in an Erasuresque sort of way.
vs. Hang Fire (The Rolling Stones) 7 I’m pretty sure this song is about the 47%. Maybe Romney should adopt it.

I was up all night writing and listening to this playlist on repeat, so these scores will either be the purest or the most cracked out.
Baby Drugs (Tristen): 9
You And Me (Penny & The Quarters): 7.7
All Eyes On You (St. Lucia): 9
Hang Fire (The Rolling Stones): 7.6
First Light (My Morning Jacket): 6.5
Mama’s Eyes (Justin Townes Earle): 9.5
Sir Duke (Stevie Wonder): 6
Shine A Light (Wolf Parade): 8
(probably a deft combination of both)
Baby Drugs (Tristen): 6.5
You And Me (Penny & The Quarters): 7.5
Funny how different pairings change my opinions of some songs. Pretty sure my scores from round 1 would have put Tristen ahead here – it’s fun but I think I’m more likely to remember You and Me
All Eyes On You (St. Lucia): 10
Hang Fire (The Rolling Stones): 5
If there’s a hazy-disco track better than All Eyes On You out there, I’d love to hear it.
First Light (My Morning Jacket): 4
Mama’s Eyes (Justin Townes Earle): 8
Sir Duke (Stevie Wonder): 5
Shine A Light (Wolf Parade): 7

Sir Duke (Stevie Wonder) – 9
Shine A Light (Wolf Parade) – 6.5
Baby Drugs (Tristen) vs. You And Me (Penny & The Quarters): 8.8 : 8
This is a very good matchup- two talented female vocals.
All Eyes On You (St. Lucia) vs. Hang Fire (The Rolling Stones): 6.6 : 9.2
Really feeling Hang Fire today, kept turning it up
First Light (My Morning Jacket) vs. Mama’s Eyes (Justin Townes Earle): 6.5 : 6
Sleepy matchup.
Sir Duke (Stevie Wonder) vs. Shine A Light (Wolf Parade): 7.5 : 7.3
Wonder for the win, but Wolf hung in there.
