The Pazz & Jop results are never published until late in January. But they will be. I know, because I'm tabulating them this year. As for the LoudFans poll, I'll say the same thing I said last year: If anybody would like to take over the running of the yearly poll, presumably in order to do it some other way that pleases you more, feel free to speak up! If nobody proposes anything else, I will run the poll exactly the same way I ran it last year: each voter sends me a list of up to ten albums (no points, no order), I tabulate the results. If you like this, feel free to register your approval by sending me your list. glenn On Sat, Jan 2, 2010 at 6:12 PM, Andrew Hamlin wrote: > After all, a new year calls for a poll for the previous! > > No sign of life at the Village Voice so far... > > Andy > > > "The main character is a brown bone matter which and does not talk > with a happy face's fuzzy toy." > > --the previous .sig translated into simplified Chinese and > re-translated back into English at http://babelfish.yahoo.com/ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 3 Jan 2010 18:48:35 -0700 From: Roger Winston Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Corner Laughers On Wed, Dec 30, 2009 at 9:36 PM, wrote: > I just caught a video from this band on the Magnet site.

Looks like they have a new album out called ULTRAVIOLET GARDEN, which probably has the song you saw. Their first album TOMB OF LEOPARDS is on eMusic and is currently a free download at AmieStreet.com. I've downloaded it, but probably won't get around to listening to it for a few weeks. Have Ghost Hunters actually ever caught a ghost? That would be quite a coup.

I'm waiting for them to get some audio playback where a Brenda Vaccaroish voice says something like, "Don't quit your Roto Rooter job."

Others must've just grabbed it from AmieStreet too, since it's up to $1.80 now. Hopefully the download services will get ULTRAVIOLET GARDEN soon. Well, iTunes has it, but I don't count them.

No wonder I like it so much! I'm still wanting the new Orange Peels record (but I'll have to wait 'til I land a job). Now my want list is growing to three: the Madness ONE STEP BEYOND reissue, the new OP and now the Corner Laughers. - --Mark ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V9 #1 *****************************
