A Bird in Hand can hurt
Connecting in Moscow
Flat and out in LA
I dont dance
Of banana trees and bolinis
An unwanted companion
Nice Cars and Machete Scars
The Dead Centre
Sunrise in the Sahara
What does a bear do in the woods

Online voting runs through to midnight GMT Friday 30th November 2012. Read the full terms and conditions and details of how to vote.
