It's not a critic poll, but I found the results of this year's Metacritic User Poll rather amusing:http://www.metacritic.com/feature/best-of-2013-user-poll-results?page_comment=1
Sometmes you forget how rabid an artist's fanbase can be at times.

sad thing is if artpop was doing better i doubt there'd be such an effort by her fanbase to get her at the top of at least one chart somewhere. born this way barely scratched the top 20 back in 2011.

So basically, people who buy new vinyl albums have even more boring taste than everyone else

TWO Mumford albums????????
(I originally typed "Mufmord", almost left it because that sounds like a death metal band name)

ARTPOP was a fantastic album and one of the best pop albums of 2013. You pretentious hipsters in your stupid ass beanies can stay pressed like cuban sandwiches. Go fist yourselves with one of your indie rock vinyls.
― Deafening silence (DL), Monday, 13 January 2014 15:11 (ten years ago) link
now that's just a lot of confusing imagery
― SHAUN (DJP), Monday, 13 January 2014 15:12 (ten years ago) link
I do agree that ass beanies are stupid, tho
― SHAUN (DJP), Monday, 13 January 2014 15:13 (ten years ago) link
Go fist yourselves with one of your indie rock vinyls.
intend to repurpose this line at an appropriate time, possibly vampire weekend related
― lex pretend, Monday, 13 January 2014 15:16 (ten years ago) link
but ARTPOP was just as terrible as Vampire Weekend, is the thing

Most offensive thing here is use of 'vinyls'.

yeah which is why i'll be repurposing it later and not in defence of artpop!

Complained on xhuxk's wall that both the absence of a singles list and the squishy "It takes all kinds. And we're healthier as a culture when we agree on a bunch of them."

Boy does xgau love Gogol Bordello

Has there ever been a Peter Stampfel project he hasn't liked?
― curmudgeon, Friday, 24 January 2014 16:48 (ten years ago) link
It felt that way to me but I see he says:
the 75-year-old Stampfel's best record since the even more cooperative Have Moicy! 38 years ago,
He expresses his unhappiness that Maura and others don't like the Lady Gaga as much as he does

No interest in ILM's in house poll? I find that puzzling.
― _Rudipherous_, Friday, 24 January 2014 16:52 (ten years ago) link
I'm feeling guilty I didn't find the time to vote. But I did start looking at it and I saw this below which means I need to check out your ballot:
Rudipherous's ballot is awesome in both spirit and content
I'm so glad ppl voted for the selma oxor & neneh cherry tracks I nommed & then negged, I was feeling guilty

Well, I will have to see if Christgau fave African albums also have shown up on the ILM in-house poll

Albums haven't been rolled out yet.
Spotify playlist for the track winners (with some missing) here:

(If that doesn't open for your properly, try put it into the search box in Spotify.)

Or youtube:

There definitely are some good tunes missing from Spotify, notably Lulu James's "Closer."

And Kimya Dawson. The Uncluded is her with a rapper I had never heard before named Aesop Rock. As a Dean acolyte I bought it. Love the stuff with Kimya but that guy's voice is not my cup of musical tea.

i would like to see a slatepitch about the lack of audience overlap between kimya dawson and aesop rock, because i can believe that i would be going to never believe how much there was
