Record Of The Year Showdown, Episode 9: The Final 4

<p>Mark's shenanigans aside, we had an easier time ranking our semifinal group than we'd expected -- but we <em>didn't</em> necessarily expect to go on a sentimental journey with TLC, Sarah Palin's nephew LARP Jr., cutesy Aretha, braided beards, and an open invitation to Gotye to come on/edit the podcast. But a full moon and Sarah's all-covers clip choices put us on the emotional road to our season finale. Don't worry, we will <em>still</em> always love you (and have not gotten killed by John Ramos) in our penultimate ROTY episode.</p> <p>Our intro is by Whitnaurack Bargellston, and our outro is by Deee-Lite.
