Here are the Tracks that we're in the March Sadness on State of Wonder (OPB)

I am guessing that Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt" (originally by Nine Inch Nails) probably defeated “And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda.” by The Pogues but their results haven't been posted yet.

And as we soon learn, it’s not the first time a member of the Kozelek clan has perished in such a fashion—Carissa’s grandfather (Kozelek’s uncle) was also killed by an exploding aerosol can. The last time Kozelek saw Carissa alive was at his funeral.”
