Two votes per person, top two (including any tie for the top two) move on unless one wins more than 50%. Picks were arranged this time alphabetically by nominator.

Against Me! (please let this win so I don't have to keep nominating every song off this LP) and The B-52s.

Edit: Here's the YouTube of the song

Voted The Slits last round, but going with Blondie this time. They have a few ones I prefer, but no guarantee they win on something like X Offender so let's secure them a spot here with this (extremely excellent) track.

This feels inevitable

We mostly do curbside pickup and forego lines altogether, but when I've had to go into stores I've had a wait a few times. Mostly just a few minutes but had to wait about 15 minutes to get into a Trader Joe's a couple weeks ago. Our biggest problem is we must be at the tail end of the regional suppl...

Watched Hamilton last night with the fam (the missus and all parents/in-laws are enamored with it enough that I really just had to bite my tongue and not act like a curmudgeonly asshole). As I think Wolt has affirmed, mechanically the play is quite well done (not that I have any other real reference...

Say, what kind of neat t-shirts can you buy at the Trump store?

This is all good and not horrifying at all.
