Such a great poll. Thanks to everyone involved. Love this thing every year.

xp kt tunstall was so great, i am so in love with her voice, besides the israel nash gripka the biggest discovery for me last year.

xp me too. i like spottie's strategy, would have been hilarious if everyone had done that & both had placed

I think m@tt and I are neighbors

yes xp, woulda been awesome

Feeling weirdly regretful that I didn't put Ariana Grande on my final ballot, especially as I look again at what I did go with.

what does it mean that i am no one's closest neighbor?
i like making my ballot but i am always disappointed that more things i like don't place or even warrant a vote from anyone but me.

LL it means that we are COSMIC TWINS

ok well i'll take that :)

btw DJP the other thread moves so fast I forgot to say, but I really appreciated the facebook posts you put up for certain albums. Good stuff.

w/r/t albums crossing demographics, i notice sky ferreira had a big impact on the dance crew itt - i noticed this elsewhere too (the factmag staff loved her). i can't actually fathom why this is!!

La Lechera - we shared two picks, so in comparison to the bulk of voters that puts us not as neighbors but at least on the same block.

yar DJP has been a major player, and not least because I've magically ended up liking everything he does (except his number one, lol)

And Drugs A. Money lives in the house between us.

i feel yr pain

Bit annoying that I'm neighbours with Craigo in both polls - I already know that, duh.

We should move in with NickB

o_O

I am nobody's Top Neighbour either.

260 Jah Wobble & Marconi Union - Anomic
292 Body/Head - Coming Apart
298 SHINee - The Misconceptions of Me
323 Sally Shapiro - Somewhere Else

#292, ouch. that was my #1.

awesome bandname/album combination

didn't vote for it but the Body/Head album was pretty cool

Jagwar Ma was me.

come at me

I only heard one or two Body/Head tracks, sounded promising but I wasn't listening hard enough to make my mind up about it.

w/r/t albums crossing demographics, i notice sky ferreira had a big impact on the dance crew itt - i noticed this elsewhere too (the factmag staff loved her). i can't actually fathom why this is!!

not really an answer, but "Heavy Metal Heart" reminds me a lot of going to parties and clubs.

EZ - but clearly we don't live in a place that has blocks -- it's like we share adjoining vast tracts of land and we have to rig up the dog sleds to visit our neighbors. Sort of like real life, I guess.

nobody except me voted for israel nash gripka. that's unbelievable, did i missspell his name or what? the best neil young impersonator ever, so much better than neil young himself these days. his album is almost on par with "after the goldrush", i'd say.

I wish I could "like" a post.

ok alex u got me interested

Looks like I forgot my Ariana Grande vote when I hastily threw mine together. Top 5 for me.

his album is here:

― mambo jumbo (La Lechera), Thursday, January 30, 2014 5:29 PM (31 minutes ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

it means that everyone else is closer to someone else than they are to you. everyone has a closest neighbor (unless every album you voted for got 0 votes from everyone else) but not everyone is someone else's closest neighbour. pretty easy to think of an example

i like sarahell's ballot

Monotony is my closest neighbor, but it looks like it's just because we're both hivemind voters.
