Dec 13th: Song Showdown commemorations

To it, we award the gold pickle jar and allow it to admire it’s dulcet tones in 4 situations:

Glasgow Barrowlands, 1999

Deadly Avenger’s Bayou Blues Mix

Glastonbury, 1999

FM4 acoustic session, 2008

Up next, the valiant yet vanquished Why Does It Always Rain On Me? Posthumously, we award the silver pickle jar to be used until depickling techniques have advanced, and allow it to listen to itself one last time in the aftermath of an infamous Glastonbury weather shift:

Finally we award both Turn and Side this bronze pickle jar which they should both be able to squeeze into, and compare and contrast both songs from Japan 2007:
