(16/25)

If anyone with a spare albums slot would care to nominate Souvaris - Souvaris Souvaris, then that would be lovely. It came out early December, and it's been my best new discovery over the Xmas/New Year period.

Stream: http://souvaris.blogspot.com/2011/12/finally-released-souvaris-souvaris.html

Oh crap, I haven't heard that, but they're my friends. Now I will want to vote for them. I will nominate it for you anyway.

ALBUMS

Souvaris - Souvaris Souvaris

(20/25)

Yay, home town loyalty goes deep - thank you!

It's the final Souvaris album, by the way. They play their last ever gig on Feb 17.

I think I've still got about 10 or more noms left, so I'll bung in these two as well before the deadline:

TRACKS
Viadrina - Better (Arto Mwambe remix)
Manik - White Motif (Shur-i-kan v Milton Jackson remix)

that's two Easy Please Me noms, HIGH FIVE but let's remove one

not sure if these were already nominated as the sandbox site is down now:

albums:
Howe Gelb & the Band of Gypsies - Alegrias

tracks:
Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks - Brain Gallop
Low - Nightingale
Bill Callahan - America!
Kurt Vile - Jesus Fever

10/25

for what it's worth here is the google cache of th sandbox thread, it finishes december, 23rd though.

Thanks, it's a start! I didn't poke at the cache long enough to see whether you could get the thread without the "Skipping lots of messages" break.

Which track are you nominating here?

Diddy-Dirty Money - Last Train To Paris *

*Yes, I know it made the 2010 chart, shut up. It came out in UK in January 2011 and certainly "peaked" last year, even on ILX. Far and away my favourite LP of 2011.

I see your point but I don't think we can allow it - the rule on this is pretty clear (it's almost the only hard rule regarding eligibility).

oops, sorry that was supposed to say

John Maus - Copkiller

From memory the following albums have yet to be nominated but apologies if this is not the case:

ALBUMS

BLNRB - Welcome to the Madhouse
Braids - Native Speaker
Various Artists - Ines

TRACKS:

MeShell Ndegeocello - Oysters

ALBUMS:

Obake - s/t

(24/25)

I see your point but I don't think we can allow it - the rule on this is pretty clear
OK can I nominate a bunch of tracks from it instead (if they didn't chart last year)? That wouldn't conflict with your rule.

Yep, that's fine.

Tracks:

Katy Perry - The One That Got Away
Nottee - Don't Waste Your Light on Me
Johan Agebjorn (feat. Fred Ventura and Sally Shapiro) - Alice
Silk Flowers - Band of Color

Albums:

R.E.M. - Collapse Into Now
Yes - Fly from Here
The Bangles - Sweetheart of the Sun
Andy Meecham - Monophonic Volume 1

8/25

The Bangles has been nominated. I know, 'cos I nominated it.

"Ass On The Floor" placed in the 2010 tracks poll (and "Hello Good Morning" and "I Hate That You Love Me" were nominated). songs from Last Train To Paris that peaked on the charts in 2011: "Your Love" (which I would vote for), "Coming Home," "Someone To Love Me."

"sade" is the diddy dirty money track i've been voting for in ballots. obvious stand-out new track on the 2011 mixtape; took on life of its own somewhat in dj sets and mixtapes (one of my favourite moments of the year was when nguzunguzu mixed it into a bounce remix of "cherish the day" at night slugs); the mixtape itself is only on the borderline of my potential ballot so i have to rep for "sade" somehow.

that's cool, i love "Sade" and didn't know people really knew about it at all outside of the LTTP cult

to be fair i think nguzunguzu are part of the LTTP cult.

weirdly it wasn't on youtube for most of the year (apart from a weirdly pitched version) despite the fact that it was a free giveaway in the first place, when i put together my EOY playlist i had to upload it myself:
