Playlist:


I wasn't able to find studio versions of the Nickel Creek songs, and the second video does not have a very good live sound. Please link to better versions if you've got them!

Oh, look who dropped a video just in time.

Kasabian-"Eez-eh", is much better than its title suggests. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST6nEvIEY4s

* Eliminated in 11th week on chart

* My nominations
1. in the category "Wake up calls": Moss - Unilove
2. in the category "Perfect pop songs": Jeremy Messersmith - Ghost
3. in the category "Summer chills": Thievery Corporation - Sola In Citta (featuring Elin Melgarejo)

"You've Got It Wrong" by Drowners is my next nomination.

My nomination: Nick Waterhouse - This Is a Game

Any fans of soul/R&B here? The nominations and votes have not been many.

My nomination: "The Weather Song" by Ought

I think there are some songs that are better left alone

Todd Terje has not improved this

idk how this works but I'd like to nominate Willie Nelson - The Wall if that's possible.
