All the leaves are brown, and the sky is gray.

The new tournament is upon us. Behold!

There will be no commentary right now, as I'm still absorbing these songs. Speaking of these songs, you can download all 16 of them in a .zip file (50MB or so) here.

We'll keep voting open until next Sunday at 7, so people will have time to find us again. You can vote by leaving a comment, or you can email me.
