Song of the Year Battle
First, we’d really like to apologize for the site being down for a few days. Clearly we had some issues, but we were enjoying Fun x 3 Fest, so we got to it as soon as we could.
Second, I feel like the guy in this picture today, so I wanted to toss something your way. Aside from our post-grunge a-capella group during Danzig, we spent a lot of time talking about albums of the year, song of the year, and of course, the festival. But, we can’t seem to agree on our favorite song of the year, so here’s where you can help. We’re putting up both the songs we feel are in contention, and we need you to give us your vote. Leave a comment and tell us which you like more. Or, if you hate us and completely disagree, tell us in the comments what your favorite is. Here we go:

Snowmine. Lovely song.
Im trying to sway the vote here, but clearly it’s the Twerps song.
Can I say both? No but I think I go with Snow Mine.
Let’s just have the readers vote for top albums and songs this year. I can’t take the headache it causes.
Apparently, you only mean reader.
snowmine swoons! all.the.way. makes me happy to be alive.
snowmine all the way!
duh snowmine. so epic and beautiful
Hey ATH,
I’m leaning on the twerps song but I have to say since you guys turned me on to Megafaun a while back, I can’t get enough of their tunes.
My vote for Megafaun “get right”

Cheers…
first time listening to either of these bands/songs for me, and i thoroughly enjoyed both songs.
Having said that, I vote for Snowmine.
Tune-Yards – “Bizness”
Kurt Vile – “Jesus Fever”
Between your two songs – Twerps.
I think these are both great, very different. “Let Me In” kind of reminds me of “Sweet Disposition” by Temper Trap…it’s light, makes you feel good, and is just a solid track. “Who Are You” definitely reminds me of “California Stars” by Wilco – one of my faves, and is perfect for a slow two-step. However, his voice is monotone throughout and makes him sound hungover…making me vote for the Snowmine track. But love these both!
I only post to give the IT Dept.’s vote to Black Light Dinner Party “Older Together”.
What? Just saying…
snowmine.
Snowmine – these guys are soooo rad.
Snowmine-beautiful lyrics and entrancing melody
My vote is for Gem Club’s 252, but since these two songs are the finalists…my vote goes to Snowtime. Heading to Orlando Calling fesival this weekend! Killers, Pixies, Raconteurs, etc. should be incredible!

Hey James. These aren’t necessarily the “Finalists”, just two songs we’ve loved from the year. If you dig that Gem Club song, stick to your guns homie.
