The Nowts

i propose pronouncing "00s" as "oohs"

https://cdn1us.denofgeek.com/sites/denofgeekus/files/styles/main_wide/public/images/187851.jpg

frogbs now reminding me of an all-time Zeroes track

TRACK

Deluge Grander - Inaugural Bash

7/30

I think we should just call the decade "The '80s Pt. 2"

that would be a much better fit for this decade!

Can I request a ruling on whether Boredoms - Vision Creation Newsun is eligible as an '00s release?

I'd say it's eligible. The release outside of Japan was in 2000. P4K included it in its '200 Best Albums of the 2000s' list.

OOIOO - Gold & Green
Ulrich Schnauss - A Strangely Isolated Place
Metro Area - Metro Area

happy to see these nominated - some of my personal favorites

Paul Buchanan - Mid Air

2/30

― Le Bateau Ivre

Beautiful album, but it came out in 2012.

Also, just noticed Robyn's Dancing On My Own on the Spotify playlist which was a 2010 release.

Ahh my bad, good catch KP.

ok so i can wrap my head around the albums, but singles might be too fucking hard guys

how am i supposed to pick just one bubba sparxx song?

Albums
The Clientele - The Violet Hour
Jesse Sykes - Reckless Burning

Can we stick with just the one Deerhoof album to avoid vote-splitting? They had one of the best runs of the decade, and I couldn't decide between around 4 of their albums.

The Organ - Grab that Gun

flashback to 10 years ago and listening to this a lot on my Zen Creative mp3 player. this is a good album, maybe not strong enough to make it onto my ballot though. its a shame they only put out one album

i'm sorry but i gotta be that guy
