Some silly questions because I've not done this before:

- What's the rules on nominating EPs & things of similar length, can we nom them as albums?
- Can we nominate compilation albums (I'm assuming yes as I can see a few 'Various Artists' on the spreadsheet)?
- Can we nominate commercially released mixes as albums?

Lauren Bousfield - Palimpsest

Must have missed that Lauren put out a new one! Cool! Miss her.

emil.y, have you heard the album that Lauren made to terrorize her friend Jason, "The Tank"? https://musicbrainz.org/artist/e1c29960-14a6-47c3-90b6-1178c1002291

It is the most unbelievable, funny story I've ever heard.

Haha, no, I'd not heard about that! The song titles are something else, though I'm hoping it was all in good fun and not actually too much terrorising.
