Out of all my orphans I'm most surprised at Ezra Furman not making another ballot.― a man often referred to in the news media as the Duke of Saxony (tipsy mothra), Sunday, 5 February 2023 22:55 (yesterday) link

I need to spend more time with this. I’d been slightly underwhelmed with Ezra’s work post-Transangelic Exodus, but the 2022 album sounded like a potential rebound when I listened to it,

my chaotic weighted ballot:
mj lenderman - boat songsCate Le Bon - Pompeiialdous harding - warm chrisAlvvays - Blue RevDry Cleaning - StumpworkBill Orcutt - Music For Four GuitarsBilly Woods - Aethiopesbitchin bajas - bajascillatorschat pile - god's countrycola - deep in viewhorace andy - midnight rockershorsegirl - versions of modern performancemike adams at his honest weight - graphic blandishmentRichard Dawson - The Ruby Cordsexual jeremy - the real sexual jeremy
i don't really feel happy with it as a representative ballot, i was kind out of listening to music in 2022 and i know i missed a ton of good stuff, especially good stuff outside of my immediate wheelhouse. but i wanted to throw some points to the albums i did hear and enjoy
i kind of hate it when people are like "i was surprised ____ didn't place!" bc it's always something that's obvious to me why it didn't place (usually it's some weird niche album) but if i had one of those it was the aldous harding album. i thought she was reasonably popular and that that album was well-liked

yeah I was a little surprised by that too, but I think the response on her thread was a little cooler than her previous album. I personally warmed up to it and now like it just as much as Designer

actually, i would've put the beths somewhere in the lower half of my ballot. it's absurd to correct a hypothetical ballot, but they're just so good and so sweet, 2 AM aches in such a relatable way

Whither Thumbscrew, Sund4r???
Finally bought it and it's wonderful, just what I want to be listening to.
