I'm assuming we'll get the first round going today then? I'm off work today so I'm excited to go through everything.

It was no contest even before I heard French Dress. The plodding staccato accordion sounds and pathetic vocal in the Giants song make it an automatic loser.

And it was definitely worth it! The Greatest is okay, but French Dress is excellent.

Yeah! it's like Shellac meets Gastr Del Sol. Very cool indeed. Worth the effort for sure.

Apologies for the dl troubles. Did it on my phone and never 2x checked it. Will get good folders for the other submissions to cgd this weekend. Glad people seem to dig it! Will also have time to give background on future submissions.

French Dress is the only one of the album you can't preview on Bandcamp... Was it on purpose?

I might have been misunderstood. I meant it for Marker and that they might have kept this particular track hidden away from the masses, like, you have to pay to hear it. Anyway, it's a great track, made me want to hear the whole thing.

My choice – They Might Be Giants.
Musically, the group looks pale.
However, the translation of the lyrics and the video introduces some intrigue.

Jazz – I do not perceive.
True in his youth was fond of King Crimson.

I think that my nomination is one of the best TMBG songs of all time! The lyrics are so on point.

Nick Offerman is the greatest (though I prefer the song without the video).

Oh sorry mate. Yeah it shows up in windows as a file type of "file". I just right clicked on it and opened it up with VLC player and it pulled a codec to play it with. Hope that helps.

Ok I'm really confused. It doesn't show or play anything, and the page reads "This file cannot be previewed. Please check to see if your file extension is correct." When I download it, it downloads as a text file. Both of these issues didn't resolve after I signed up for a Dropbox account and logged in.

Right under that it asks if you'd like to download.
