TOP 10 NOW: \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\shawty got poll poll poll poll poll poll poll (part II: 2008 ALBUMS)/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

Is 'Americana Uncut' a circumcision reference?

if you must...

no Kings of Leon - this ain't crappy Q mag
no Glasvegas - this ain't nonentity NME

no Scarlett Johannson - this place sucks

Martian is getting a bit like John McEnroe still shouting "you cannot be serious!" at exhibition matches.

I genuinely enjoyed the Scarlett album the couple times I played it. Did the 4AD hazy atmosphere for the 2000s much better than, say, Return to Cookie Mountain. xpost

by "this place" i assume you mean the world, because scarlett's album was nonexistent there as well

the scarlett johansson album was ok but i didn't love it as much as i thought i would, or even as much as the hayden panettiere cod-reggae single

now why that didn't place i have no idea

because the scarlet J street team didn't vote

the hayden panettiere cod-reggae single

Thankfully, I missed the fact this even exists.

Whens the next Paris Hilton album out?

I never realized how much she looks like Fiona Apple.

Is it bad that I've been watching that Hayden Panettiere video with the volume down, without having listened to a single note of the song?

nah
she'd remember this titan, if you feel

it sounds like it was written by hallmark card puppies and is impossible to hate, esp when she starts trying to toast at the end. also i don't believe her for a second when she threatens to cheat on him

Woah I've been sleeping on The-Dream album. Listened to it 10 times today already......man i don't need no hook for this sheeeet

no Keane - this ain't no disco
no The Feeling - this ain't no country club either

(it'd work better if there hadn't been about 75 xposts between it. It would)

Jesus, are we only up to #4?

Somehow -- no, really, I don't know how either -- I missed the GGD album completely. On the evidence of this thread alone I'm grabbing it first thing tomorrow morning.

At least I can be sure that one of my picks will be in the top three, I guess. Hmm.

The Gang Gang Dance is absolutely incredible, I voted it #3 but in a different mood it could have been my #1. It just covers an immense amount of ground and does pretty much everything I want my music to do at one point or another.

^ Me exactly.

^^this, except like 4 times

no The Killers, this ain't silly Playlouder

Musically ... please present Numero 3

The Gang Gang Dance really shows up the Vampire Weekend record when it comes to picking up ideas from other musics and really running with them. Gimme 'First Communion' over 'Cape Cod' any day.

Really wish the Jamie Lidell album had shown up in this poll.

Anyone else vote for it?

number: 256
Jamie Lidell

hes shit

Musically it's hitting midnight in the UK - are the top 3 coming in the next hour?

*blows a forlorn candle*

wow...instead of the 1 & 3 placing I was yearning for, Badu/Weezy got a fun loving 6 & 9...

my predictions for the top 3:

3) David Lynch & Marek Zebrowski - Polish Night Music
2) Jerusalem & the Starbaskets - The Howling
1) The Dirtbombs - They Have Us Surrounded

let's see how close I come....

*crosses fingers*

putting out an APB for Musically

Where art thou Musically?

sorry guys, i have a "job" and sometimes it interferes with my ilxing

Musically is in Pacific Time Zone?, that will make it

4:04 pm

in the future when we're all laid off, we will be able to have polls ALL THE TIME

3 - Lindstrøm - Where You Go I Go Too
363 points, 30 votes, 4 #1 votes
62 in P&J, 12 in p4k

while L&PT and beardo threads abound, this audacious album statement really deserves its own thread. i saw Lindstrøm DJ the album during SXSW, but nighttime there doesn't quite lend itself to critical faculties (much less remembrance of details like where you parked or how many Shiners downed or what was in that joint). i recall it being much like an extension of his previous DJ affair, epic and expansive yet taking it too far out at the breakdown and losing dancefloor momentum resolutely.

but as an album, it's a sweet suite, the logical extension of wishing that "Supernature" and "Oxygene" were the same song and that it took up a full album side. jokingly, i told a friend that this is the "Ys of Disco" but in retrospect it's the polar opposite of Ys. whereas i found Ys to be stiff, mannered, and decidedly cool, Where I Go is infused with some serious warmth and good vibes. a shame it's out at the end of summer rather than soundtracking it.

if it's that forlorn you must not be doing a very good job

wow I was way off on #3 (wtf?) but I'm still optimistic...

WOW !

i thought that was going to be Numero 2

lolz n/a

I wanna hear Lindstrom too fwiw. Matt DC's pretty good at calling out thing I'll enjoy.

*things

*closes eyes; thinks ...Howling Howling Howling Howling Howling...*

hail to Norway !

OK, I'm going to bed. Filled with anticipation. Or not.

Happy birthday, Louis!

:D my fishing bears fruit! Night night GF, here's (reluctantly) hoping for Barrow, Gibbons, Utley and their collaborators...

listened to that Lindstrøm on a train yesterday...unbelievable. Build, release, comedown, etc... but complex and, of course, warm.

I lost track of what our predictions were. What's #2 gonna be again?
