Easy choice, one has a mullet and the other doesn't. Also there's a better Sufjan song in the tournament, and I'm pretty sure I'd vote Smoko over it too.

I really like Smoko, but again it's up against a song I prefer. Fourth Of July for me.

this is still the most banal Suf song from this record outside of Blue Bucket of Gold. Vote to The Chats

Wow.

EDIT: WTF.

EDIT: at least we now know nobody can be upset about any BEA tourney result because it's basically a gimmick at this point anyway.

I'm fairly shocked at how far this very capable but not entirely groundbreaking punk song is getting. Granted I was singing the chorus most of the day Saturday because I couldn't get it out of my head, but even going toe to toe with Sufjan? Is the video helping it?

I voted for Sufjan because this is the best song off Carrie & Lowell but I secretly don't want a Sufjan-Sufjan finals so I guess if we can prevent that I'm not too upset.

Yeah to be fair I made that post then got lost in a youtube rabbit hole, then went up stairs and shouted:

I'M ON SMOKO when I was asked to do something.
