Also, it might be another 24 hours or close to it before I'm able to post the final and the results of this round. Nobody send a search party.

Round 14

1. Marvin Gaye - Sunny
2. David Bowie - Cracked Actor
3. Bobby Capó - Piel Canela
4. Tom Waits - Tango Till They're Sore
5. Sufjan Stevens - Casimir Pulaski Day
6. Don Bikoff - Celestial Explosion
7. Pitbull ft. Christina Aguilera - Feel This Moment
8. P.I.F. - Nevidimo Dete
9. Tom Waits - Cold Cold Ground
10. Earth Tongue - Out of this Hell
11. Poe with Mark Danielewski - Hey Pretty


Good round. I had heard a couple of these before, like "Sunny", "Cracked Actor", the Pitbull/Aguilera one, and obviously my nom. I also think I had heard the Earth Tongue one in a previous tournament?

Anyway, "Sunny" and "Cracked Actor" were obvious choices for my top spots. The Sufjan Stevens one was a fun listen. I also like the Pitbull/Christina Aguilera one, even though it feels over-produced. The P.I.F. song was also an interesting listen. I was head-banging a bit.

I think I would've liked the "Hey Pretty" one a bit more if it had less talking, but it was still solid.
