(TOP 5 TODAY, MOFOS!) Yo P&J, I'm really happy for you, Imma let you finish, but ILX had the greatest 2009 poll of all time! All time! (2009 ILX Albums Poll Results)

crossing my fingers for jj at #38

X-post regarding nicely packaged albums (I just finished skimming through the thread) - I was struck by the packaging for the last Hacride and UFOmammut albums. Not only the cover art, but these special jewel cases with rounded corners that seem extra sturdy.

UFOmammut albums also cost 50 euros though, so fuck that.

about 40% of P&J's Girls voters also voted for AC

What about the other way around?

way more people voted for AC, so only about 16% of that number

xxpost - Some of their albums are hard to get and are pricey for sure, but Idolum was about £12/$17 when I got it. It might be a bit more, but not 50 euros!

Meanderthals! The third of my votes to place. Best album falling under the balearic umbrella by miles for me; for a good while it was my default first-thing-in-the-morning album, I associate it really strongly with black coffee and the morning papers and catching up on the internet and the world.

black coffee and the morning papers and catching up on the internet and the world

so not balearic

would be cool if someone could fix the image again too, just for posterity

yeah. it's a great cover as well.

black coffee and the morning papers and catching up on the internet and the world

so not balearic

pretty sure balearic is now just about workaday office folk trying to escape the daily routine with visions of beaches et all

<3 meanderthals

balearic is dreaming of the beach when youre already sleeping on the beach

Black coffee is totally balearic

Black coffee may be the least Balearic substance I can think of. Except possibly cocaine.

Black coffee in the hot sun is crazy business.

38 -- JJ – jj n° 2 (104.5 points, 9 votes, 1 #1 vote/s) (35 in p4k, 105 in p&j)

really really happy about Grandfather Paradox, El Perro Del Mar, and Meanderthals! :D

really irritated about the posting of the JJ cover under Meanderthals, JJ fucking blows (xpost, ha)

all the same these Scando bands

three of mine in a row

Musically, you have some image madness going on!

Mungolian Jet Set next?

maybe Royksopp

based on these last placings i'd bet mungolian jet set makes it on this list

strange, i have no idea what this was about:

awesome! but wrong cover!

yet after that every cover has been wrong

^ well it was changed shortly after my post

^^the El Perro was wrong originally but a mod fixed it xp

Scandinavian gremlins afoot

oh i see, my b

L&P II is the other scando-balearo-disco that'll def make it, idk about MJS

really don't see the appeal of jj tbh. i was way disappointed.

saaaaaame here^

i just thought it was silly twee-ish crap, worse than the tough alliance which i actually liked when in the mood for it

oh, forgot about Taken By Trees, that might make it too, though i didn't vote for it

big fan of jj, it's kinda mazzy starry

whoa covers all messed up in here

people being able to listen to that entire jj album is pretty wtf to me

Behold, the future:

37 -- Horrors - Primary Colours (106.5 points, 11 votes) (dnp in p4k, 65 in p&j)

didn't vote for it, but an album i tried out after the number of songs nommed for the trax poll. some decent stuff.

love that jj album btw

about 40% of P&J's Girls voters also voted for AC
This could just indicate pervasive popularity of AC, which wouldn't surprise me. What % of MPP voters also voted for Girls?

Ah, I see that point re AnCo/Grls was already raised and answered above.

If you can find that P&J stats page that was linked from the P&J thread, I think it showed the overlap between all the GAPDY ballots.

i get to the last 14 seconds of the JJ album and then i can't stands no more

really like the sound and production on the horrors album. not as crazy about the songs. pleasant to have on in the background, tho.

listening to the Grandfather Paradox mix for the first time in quite a while, man this is so good, wish i had voted it higher. there's nothing pedantic or "educational" about it, its just a really really great and varied assortment of tunes that are mixed together wonderfully. it doesn't strike me as dance floor stuff, very much daytime outside music imo.

Kind of shoegazey isn't it. Not bad what I've heard so far on first listen.
