17/30

Just noticed this from Tuomas's nominations:

Laurie Spiegel - The Expanding Universe (this is technically a reissue from the 1970s, but 50% of it is material that's never been released before, so I think it should qualify)

This is still technically a reissue. As cool as it is (and it's COOL), I think it falls outside the just about the only rule I've set regarding eligibility.

I forgot the Jaffe! Good one, Drugs A. Money.

Fixed.

nope, two rs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirrorring

unfixed :D

oops, "Legowelt - The Paranormal Sound" should be "Legowelt - The Paranormal Soul"

Fixed. Also, I went ahead and added Channel Orange so no one would have to waste a nom on it.

well blow me down, i hadn't noticed that mirrorring spelling before. not just me though, loads of sites have it listed wrong. i do beg yr pardon!

boo shenanigans

If it's good for nothing else, the EOY poll forces us to face the erroneous presumptions of our spelling.

Boo Shenanigans better be the title of the next Frank Ocean album

Tracks:

Ozan Dogulu ft Atiye Deniz - Askistan
Juicee Kouture - Might Be The Police
Angela London - Infrakrasnii
Ivan Dorn - Severnoe Siyanie
Taylor Swift - Safe And Sound

20/30

lol

seandalai and I had actually tossed around the idea of creating a pre-list for noms including a bunch of things that seemed commonplace on lists from other publications, but eventually just decided to let things unfold as they may. If this will be seen as a scandal, I'll make Channel Orange one of my official nominations, which puts me now at 12/15 for albums.

TRACKS

Frank Ocean - Thinkin Bout You
Blood Diamonds ft. Grimes - Phone Sex
Baunz - The Same Thing
Me & Skinny June - Fight
MØ - Maiden
The Late Great Fitzcarraldos - Jesu
Empress Of - Champagne

7/15

Sorry, that should be: Me & Skinny Joon - Fight

TRACKS

Drake - The Motto

1/15

#TROLLO

ALBUMS

Shrag - Canines
Divorce - Divorce
Orca Team - Restraint
Roseanne Barrr - Repulsion
Tusmørke - Underjordisk Tusmørke

5/15

Haha "the motto" is kind of undeniably catchy, it's not like you're j0rdan professing the genius of take care

I second the booing over Ocean shenanigans. Remember when snubbing the Drake album was seen as a positive ;_;

who is calling themselves Roseanne Barrr?

Relax. I claimed it against my # of noms.

Lex man, you're becoming unbearable on these EOY threads. We get it - you don't like Frank, Kendrick, Solange, etc. You don't have to pull faces and boo every single time they're mentioned because they're going to be mentioned a lot and I can't take another month of this.

who is calling themselves Roseanne Barrr?

Roseanne Barrr are, obviously.

I actually like Channel Orange as a piece. It starts to break down under scrutiny of individual tracks, but if you just hit play and let it go beginning to end, I find it really soothing. I've listened to it almost exclusively that way this year.

wait scratch drank in my cup

ALBUMS

Fatima Al Qadiri - Desert Strike EP
Tenniscoats - All Aboard

(7/15)

"Blue" Gene Tyranny - Detours

Huh, I have this but never realised it wasn't a reissue!

Tenniscoats released two albums this year? Don't they know about vote-splitting?

Green Day are screwed in that case.

Well, that's the kind of stupidity I'd expect from Green Day.

ALBUMS

Action Bronson & Party Supplies - Blue Chips
Royal Headache - Royal Headache
Hospitality - Hospitality
Justin Townes Earle - Nothing's Going To Change The Way You Feel About Me Now
The Tallest Man On Earth - There's No Leaving Now

Death Grips - Money Store
Bob Dylan - Tempest

Yeah, two albums from Tenniscoats, and I've only heard the one I nominated, bah.

I've only heard the other one (it's on Spotify if that's any use).

lex there was no way that Channel Orange was not getting nominated anyways
