My R2 nom:
Raskolnikov - 3:00 am

Jessie J, Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj - Bang Bang - I love this song. Even during my music desert years the chorus of this broke through and I loved that alone.

Nakhane - You Will Not Die - There's a lot of mood and atmosphere here. Paying real attention to the lyrics could either leave me liking it more or not caring. Not sure how it'll play out in this round for me.

Depeche Mode - I Feel You § (alt link if needed) - Not really a fan of The Mode, but this has that driving beat that carries me along. Of the few songs of theirs I really like, this era and the early 80's stuff work for me.

The Beatles - Got To Get You Into My Life - Ah, The Beatles. I just don't hear what everyone else does most of the time. This is OK, but middling is the perfect word for it. Short will work well in its favour.

Miley Cyrus - Wrecking Ball - This is quite a good song. The video is awful. This might be the first time I've ever sat and just listened to the song.

Toadies - Possum Kingdom - This was doing quite well for me, but lost me a little in the middle. Came back though.

Mastodon - Stargasm - I feel I should like this more than I do. Maybe it's my current mood, but a lot of this is sounding like a lot of other stuff.

Burl Ives - A Little Bitty Tear - This was Ok. I don't know if I've ever heard Burl Ives before.

Marissa Nadler - Couldn't Have Done the Killing - Not quite sure how I feel about this. I've not heard it but it's such a familiar sound. I can't decide if that's a good thing or not today.

Beck - Pay No Mind (Snoozer) - Another one I don't really 'get' Has some really good songs, but anything else I've heard from him just sounds like lesser versions of the few songs of his I like. This did nothing to change my view.

Round 2 Nomination:

Army Of Lovers - Crucified
