grazi!

I seem to have had a particularly DIY/indie/punx0r year in 2012. Struggling to call up any of the weird/world/experimental/electronic stuff that seems to usually make up a large proportion of my ballot.

Just noticed that LeRooLeRoo nominated Beach House - Myth under albums, but that's the name of the first track, not the name of the album

Oh, hm...I wonder that was an intended vote for the album or for the track.

I just changed it to Bloom, assuming it was an album vote. If this isn't the case, it needs to be added to the tracks spreadsheet when that arrives.

Yes it was a mistake, but I'll nominate "Myth" for the tracks. Thanks!

Lex, The Night The Sun Came Up got a U.S. release this year, with a slightly different (and worse) track list, but I'm going to vote for it anyway.

Since "Take Her From You" is my favorite track, they naturally enough left it off the American version, which they also made worse by adding the non-fabulous Fabolous to "Kiss My Lips," deleting "Bass Down Low" altogether, and adding a mediocre Timbaland collabo and a mediocre Enrique Iglesias collabo. But according to Wikip "Take Her From You" is a promo single this year, and it had a video late last year. If there's a Pazz & Jop this year it's on my singles ballot. So's "In My Trunk," for which there was a video this year which makes it eligible even though Dev makes videos more often than I make blogposts.

(I wouldn't worry too much about "eligibility." If people think something is too old, they won't vote for it.)

By the way, I've never been able to parse the lyrics to "Take Her From You," since the identity of the "you" keeps shifting.

This Clyde Carson track "Slow Down" is fantastic, and I'd never heard it before starting the spotify list.

Y.N.RickKids - Hot Cheetos and Takis

10/15

Circle of Ouroborus - The Lost Enterance of the Just

So much good stuff to hear on this, btw: http://open.spotify.com/user/mondosalvo/playlist/4EmfUgrRlPAEybUttQHgmw

Thanks to the couple other people who've been helping fill it up.

Why did it take me all year long to realize that "Disparate Youth" is a close cousin of "Making Plans for Nigel"? Heard the song at least 40 or 50 times and I've just now realized that.

Thanks for the playlist JF!

Just stuff I want to vote for.

I'm sorry if I'm blind but is there a spreadsheet for tracks?

Walk 6 posts up, look under the red toadstool.

Oops spreadsheet not spotify, sorry for snark. There is one, I'll find the link.

Actually, there's no albums spreadsheet yet. Sorry for posting.

Poor confused seandalai - there is an albums spreadsheet (it is in the original post), but there is no tracks spreadsheet yet.

Albums spreadsheet, yes. Tracks spreadsheet, no.

aaaargh what am I doing here? Help me!

A few more tracks I'd like to add -- I don't know how many I have, but I'm pretty sure I'm not over the limit yet

Josephine Foster - Geyser
Alexander Tucker - Mullioned View
Swans - Mother of the World

sorry i extra-added the other songs to the spotify list! i didn't realize they were already on there. did they disappear automatically or did someone delete them? it doesn't matter, i was just wondering how it works.

Oh, that was me. I knew they were already on there because I'd added them myself last night, but that's not always the case. Eagle-eyed ilxors should keep an eye out for doubles.

ALBUMS
Kettel & Secede - When Can
Field Music - Plumb
Pinback - Information Retrieved
Rush - Clockwork Angels
Aesop Rock - Skelethon

So no other fools end up wasting their time, I am just beginning a Spotify list for albums nominations, because I think it's nice to be able to quickly skim through the albums carefully listen to each moment of every precious album nomination.

Most of my album choices have already been nommed so I may end up using the rest of my album noms on tracks later.

I am tempted to short my album list so I can nominate "She Said Ok" by Big Boi et al pretty much for the hook alone

Glad to see the Big Bang & G-Dragon nominations. They had a great year.

:D
