I only know a few of the p4k songs (so far) but I'm cool with what they've done there.

huh i didnt know ariel pink did a cover of 'baby' (although i did know he 'rediscovered' it or w/e so, not surprised i guess) - ive been in love w/ the orig the last month or so

Dean Blunt & Inga Copeland have also covered "Baby" this year; it's "2" on their album.

― Manfred Mann meets Man Parrish (ithappens), Monday, 17 December 2012 15:58 (eleven years ago) link
bollocks if i'd voted for the royal-t album (subbed out at the last minute) it would've placed, with kieran's #1 vote! (but then if i'd heard vatican shadow before i voted...)
always surprises me that so few UK critics care about school of seven bells. like, they're my token indie pick!
― lex pretend, Monday, 17 December 2012 16:12 (eleven years ago) link
As usual there's such a long gap between voting and the votes being posted that I've already changed my mind about half the list.

i thought it was a little strange that they listed the theme song to the louis c.k. show personally

oh i see because of the names
― salute me or crut me (J0rdan S.), Monday, 17 December 2012 20:41 (eleven years ago) link
i just thought it looked funny to refer to the king louie song as "louie" instead of "val venis"
