[Andrew Hamlin Subject: [loud-fans] Behold, Pazz & Jop 2011! Not sure who's still tuned in here but yes, Pazz & Jop is once more upon us: http://www.villagevoice.com/pazznjop/ You'll find below my own ballot considered against the albums list as a whole. As before, the numbers from left to right indicate an album's final placement on the list, the number of points it garnered, and the number of critics voting for it (so a "1" on the right-hand side indicates I was the only one who voted for that album). 1. Joe Rigby Quartet: For Harriet tie for 677, 15, 1 2. Freddie Hubbard: Pinnacle Live & Unreleased: From Keystone Korner tie for 802, 14, 1 3. They Might Be Giants: Join Us 147, 80, 7 4. Fountains Of Wayne: Sky Full Of Holes 63, 183, 18 5. Gang Of Four: Content tie for 341, 31, 3 6. Frank Fairfield: Out On The Open West tie for 1583, 9, 1 7. New York Dolls: Dancing Backward In High Heels tie for 302, 36, 4 8. The Mekons: Ancient & Modern tie for 167, 71, 7 9. Various Artists: Wallahi le zein! Wezin, Jakwar And Guitar Boogie From The Islamic Republic of Mauritania tie for 542, 20, 2 10. Yes: Fly From Here tie for 1734, 5, 1 So, while I'll need glenn to tell me for sure, I think I'm slipping. Only one record in the top 100 this time, and no support at all for four of my ten. Greatest sadness: The Beach Boys finally release their masterpiece and get thumped (45, 250, 23) Didn't know they had new albums out: Van Der Graaf Generator, Barbra Streisand, John Hiatt, Anthrax Greatest Album Since "Nevermind" Or So Sayeth Miles Anyway: finished at 58, 197, 18 Grounding (out) in numbers, Andy "My list of 11, subject to change depending on mood: 21 -- Adele Smile Sessions -- Beach Boys El Camino -- Black Keys Join Us -- They Might Be Giants Wild Flag - Wild Flag Cinemetropolis -- Blue Scholars Want More - JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds Build A Rocket Boys! - Elbow Ceremonials - Florence and the Machine Deeper Into Dream -- Ben Lee" - --my girlfriend Wendi's list (and yes, she would have scored much more normal than myself) ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V10 #89 *******************************
