Mean Streak
You're Everywhere
As Makeshift We Are
Eliminated Round 4
It Can't Be Nashville Every Night

Eliminated Round 5
Are We Family
Vote for the song you believe to be the weakest on In Between Evolution and after 48 hours, we will remove the song that has the most votes.

Thought it's still got a bit of Minnesota in it, New Orleans is beat.
Joe vs. Yer Everywhere should be the final, but I'll take a Joe vs. Scar big finish. Do the right thing everyone!!

Hmmm..thinking of voting off Scar. It's a toss up between it and INOIB, but I'm currently thinking NO has the edge. I love Scar but there's something about NO that is really special. It was great to hear it live on the MMP tour, and it has some really great lyrics. Holding off my vote for now, though, as I can't make up my mind.

What are the regional origins of the different pronunciations of "New Orleans?"
I grew up in Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Scotia and always pronounced it "New Orleens." Presumably then, that is the Kingston pronunciation as well - a supposition supported by "New Orleans is Sinking."
Where, then, is it pronounced "New Or-lee-UNs?" Is that the local pronunciation?
Sheer curiosity, really, as the song gets voted off the island.
INOIB is probably better in pure songwriting terms than VS. I'm not 100% sold on Gord's vocal, however, which I think could stand to be a shade nimbler with those difficult internal rhymes and extra syllables jammed into the musical metre. (You need the fluid timing of a Dylan, Sinatra, on Cadence Weapon to really pull this off). By contrast, the recording of "Scar" is exemplary in every way - not just from Gord but from the whole band - and gives this solid album track its fullest due. For that reason I voted "for" INOIB rather than Scar, though I prefer "Josephine" to either; not that any of these would have been my choice for top album cut.
