I'd say this is a head/heart decision but both are being pulled in the same two directions.

Clampdown was my decision to go, and I instantly regretted it.

SB, only because Clampdown is one of my favorite songs of any band ever.

After voting for Spanish Bombs this entire time, I fucked up and accidentally voted for Clampdown.

LET ME SWITCH MY VOTE!!!!
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I've also switched mine. I've just had to do two hours overtime, so that'll help Clampdown.

I wanted to vote Clampdown, A) because SB is a phenomenal song, and b) beto used Clampdown is his presidential campaign announcement music, which irritated me. But. Clampdown is just so good.

Clampdown sums up everything the Clash are about, it has it all.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board
