Tough, tough matchup. Hated to vote for one over the other. Shake Your Body is just so damn good, wooooooooooooooo.
The Roots ft. Erykah Badu - You Got Me
vs.
Father John Misty - Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings
Another tough one but You Got Me is just so damn smooth and as cool as the other side of the pillow.

Mos Def - Ms. Fat Booty
Ms. Fat Booty, a great song of many from a great album.

Even though I'm not a big fan of Bound 2 it still reigns supreme so far. Sing it Charlie.

Re: Overlooked Songs: Round 2 Week 2
16. Blur - Coffee and TV
vs.
1. Pet Shop Boys - Left to My Own Devices
I still don't get what makes Coffee and TV so special. In contrast, so much happens in Left to My Own Devices and all of it clicks. It's lyrics are wonderful too.
8. Tom Waits - In the Neighborhood
vs.
9. Air - All I Need
Funny contrast in vocalists. Both are very much worth a while, so it was a difficult choice.
2. The Sundays - Here's Where the Story Ends
vs.
13. Lou Reed - Dirty Blvd.
Like I said last round, I love Reed, but not particularly Dirty Blvd. Here's Where the Story End though is one of my favorite discoveries of this poll.
11. Tindersticks - City Sickness
vs.
7. Muse - Knights of Cydonia
Here's a case in which a blockbuster thrill-ride for once wins from deep feeling.
6. Fiona Apple - Criminal
vs.
15. The Jacksons - Shake Your Body
As easy a choice as they come. Shake Your Body would be a fine song if it lasted two and half minutes, but now it drags. Criminal is great for its complete run time.
10. The Roots ft. Erykah Badu - You Got Me
vs.
14. Father John Misty - Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings
Eykah Baduh again makes my day.
3. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Sacrilege
vs.
12. Mos Def - Ms. Fat Booty
Nothing against Mos Def, but Sacrilege is another one of my favorite discoveries of the poll. The dance/rock/gospel combination is just very inspired.
5. Kanye West - Bound 2
vs.
4. Mercury Rev - Holes
The most difficult choice of the week. I like how much balls Bound 2 has, especially in its use of samples. The feeling of Holes however just gets to me in an even more profound way.

Tom Waits - In the Neighborhood
vs.
Hardest choice
The Sundays - Here's Where the Story Ends
vs.
Feels odd voting against Lou for some random band I’d never heard of, but damn if this song isn’t just the loveliest little thing.
vs.
Muse - Knights of Cydonia
Fair enough song versus an epic of my adolescence.
Fiona Apple – Criminal
vs.
Fiona Apple’s biggest hit takes it over a minor Jackson tune – did anyone else see “Criminal” on President Obama’s summer playlist?
The Roots ft. Erykah Badu - You Got Me
vs.
The best word for the FJM track I can think of is… flaccid?
Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Sacrilege
vs.
The Mos Def song is the epitome of smooth, but voting against “Sacrilege” feels like just that.
Kanye West - Bound 2
vs.
"Holes" is a more emotional song than "Bound 2", but it doesn't have as much of an emotional connection to me personally.

Devastating...only one of my nominations is left, and it's up against a song I actually prefer. Which naturally means it will be the one to move on, right?
