The following stats show my Top Ten Albums 2010 followed in order by each record's Pazz & Jop position, the total number of points garnered by it, and the total number of critics voting for it. (So yes indeed, a "1" in the final column indicates nobody else voted for it.) 1. Meat Loaf: Hang Cool Teddy Bear Finished at #715, 15 points, 1 mention 2. BT: These Hopeful Machines #751, 14, 1 3. Jimi Hendrix: Valleys Of Neptune #615 , 18, 2 4. Allison Miller: Boom Tic Boom #496, 22, 2 5. Paul Motian Trio: Lost In A Dream #830, 11, 1 6. Tift Merritt: See You On The Moon #194, 61, 6 7. Patty Griffin: Downtown Church #112, 104, 12 8. Kate Miller-Heidke: Curiouser #412, 29, 3 (and I just *happen* to know the other 2) 9. Kate Rusby: Make The Light #1628, 6, 1 10. Smoosh: Withershins #1817, 5, 1 I think I'm getting weirder than ever, but we'll need glenn to tell us for sure. Glitches noted (for glenn's attention): this page gives every critic's name twice: http://www.villagevoice.com/pazznjop/albums/2010/U2xhc2h8fHxTbGFzaA==/ Also, the link posted at furia.com to "a blog post by me about Pazz & Jop analytics" doesn't work. Finally, while you can click an album title from the master list page, to list all the critics who voted for that, clicking through that page to an individual ballot and then clicking on the album title again does not lead you back to either of the previous two pages. And no, they still cannot manage to...well, I'm sure you know by this time... Andy "Did you read my review of it?" "Yes I did. Still haven't listened to the album though, I may be genuinely uninterested." "You're not sure whether you're genuinely uninterested. This is the modern world." - --dialogue between a friend and myself regarding "Hang Cool Teddy Bear" by Meat Loaf, my pick for Album Of The Year 2010 ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2011 19:38:24 -0500 From: glenn mcdonald Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Pazz & Jop 2010 You didn't have to work that out for yourself, you know! It's all calculated automatically here: https://pub.needlebase.com/actions/visualizer/V2Visualizer.do?domain=Pazz-Jop&thread=%4033647.Album+Vote And see the links on the left for lots of other info. I have no control over the Voice's own site, but I've reported the errors. I fixed the link on my own site, at least: http://blogs.villagevoice.com/music/2011/01/pazz_jop_stats.php On Thu, Jan 20, 2011 at 5:31 PM, Andrew Hamlin wrote: > Yes, it's that time of year again: > > http://www.villagevoice.com/pazznjop/ > > This was my first time voting in several years.
