We lost the keys to your heart sadly.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Same. I need give this a think. I have an idea of what I probably want the final 1-2 tracks to be, but I have no idea how to credibly get there or even really articulate why I'd vote something out vs keeping the others, they're all so great.

Minstrel Boy for me, then I can fistbump with Hoy.

I’m probably going Minstrel, but I’m just not ready to pull the trigger.

Minstrel Boy then I move on to Yalla Yalla when it is inevitably gone. Moses willl be in my sights after that.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Minstrel Boy is grand as hell, but I'm not often in the mood for grandeur.

You'll never get that far, pardner.

I haven’t voted yet. Even if it’s MB, I’m super not pleased at the forced choice to do it.

I just hope our indecision never leads to Heston being pleased about an outcome.

I've sort of narrowed it down to BB vs MB, I think. They both essentially rep the Global A Go-Go album so I'm not losing representation from Joe's world beat groove period, and the question is just which song I'm more attracted to. I'll likely buck the board trend and try to protect MB a bit.

But enough about the matedong...
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.
