So, here’s the story so far: yesterday we posted about a campaign to name Lincoln Ross’ “Come to Washington” the official anthem of the District. Many commenters chimed in with other options, and it was suggested that we take a vote. So we did (current results are above). And then other people kept chiming in.
Here, then, is what we’re going to do. Below are additional suggestions that have been made. We’re going to take the top two of those and the top two from the earlier vote, and tomorrow we’re going to put them together into a Final Four (expect us to beat the NCAA bracket horse relentlessly over the coming weeks) that will give us DCist’s official D.C. song. Thereafter, when DCist has an event, we’ll play that song and everyone will rise and place their hands on their hearts. It will be O-Fish-All. Cool.
Here then is the other half of the bracket.
“Banned in DC,” by Bad Brains.
“The District Sleeps Alone Tonight,” by The Postal Service.
“You’re My Miss Washington, DC,” by Nation of Ulysses.
“Mount Pleasant,” by Tuscadero.
“Mount Pleasant Isn’t,” by The Evens.
“Walter Reed,” by Michael Penn.
“District Divided,” by Darkest Hour.
And vote.
