the song title "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" was inspired by a line in Douglas Coupland's novel Shampoo Planet. In it, the main character says "I am writing a list of tragic character flaws on my dollar bills with a felt pen. I am thinking of the people in my universe and distilling for each of these people the one flaw in their character that will be their downfall – the flaw that will be their undoing. What I write are not sins; I write tragedies"
songwriter Benny McKee explained that Dynamite "wasn’t meant to be a straight-up party song. It was meant to be a surrender song. “I throw my hand up in the air sometimes” is when you don’t get your way – when you give up and you’re handing it over. So it’s really a song about surrender that I wrote when I was starting to get sober. It’s funny that it just turned into a straight-up club banger. There was really a lot of heart and ton of spirituality underneath it"

Brynden:
Has magic powers and can control Ravens and Crows to spy on people.
Kevin:
By the age of 10, he's already successfully fought off home invaders twice. He's a wiz with traps and very self-reliant to the point where he could navigate by himself New York City, find food and shelter, and still have time to stop the bad guys plans easily. Plus, those films are just fun to watch around Christmas time.
Kevin means white hawk.

Updates:
On the A-side, there's only two more rounds of torture until round two. Luckily, these polls don't seem to be as awful (and horrible and how did the matches come out like this I literally randomized them 30 times how did ones with the same audience get put up against each other wtf) as the most recent ones but you can check that on the link on my pinned post.
The B-side poll is open again! While I do remember loving some of the submissions, I don't remember them, so could you guys please resubmit any that you remember? Also please just submit anyone you think of. I haven't decided yet whether to include some losers from side A, let me know what you think about that.
I never knew there were so many genres, but there's 52 submissions right now. I'm kind of curious as to what some of these are. Idk when I'll close the submissions and start the poll, but I think I should start it after the artist competition is finished. Let me know what you think about that, too.
I can think of more than 74 songs off of the top of my head. I'm going to start the poll at 1024 separate submissions or after the genre poll, whichever comes first, but do better. If you want to just skip the reasoning part, that's fine because I'll be just putting the songs in the poll, not adding anything extra. It's not one vote per person. I made it have unlimited takes for a reason, and that's that I don't care how many songs you submit. Submit the same song thirty times. It's fine. It won't interfere with my spreadsheets in any way. Enjoy the submissions.
Feel free to put stuff in my ask box! I haven't responded to the submissions messages because I'm using them for reference in the polls, but any asks right now are free game. Ask me when polls are. Tell me why someone should win. Say hi. You don't have to use the ask box, but I just wanted to remind you that I'm ask-box-friendly.
In conclusion, the polls should end about a year from when they started, so I can restart them next year and continue this smoothly. Enjoy your polls! Thanks so much for voting!

Lady gaga said "Poker Face" is about the poker face she makes when she's having sex with a man but wishing she was having sex with a woman instead
at the time she wrote "Tik Tok", kesha was living in a large house with a rotating cast of roommates. she said one morning she woke up surrounded by the most beautiful women she'd ever seen and felt like P. Diddy because of it. that became the first line of the song
