Yeah, for whatever reason, I just can't seem to muster any enthusiasm for that list. I don't know if it's Harcourt's involvement, but 75% of it just seems like KCRW fare.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 18:23 (twenty-one years ago)

touche, gear.

If this list is the american mercury prize, why are some of the judges not american? hmm??

also: glad to see buckethead finally getting his props.

― bill stevens (bscrubbins), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 18:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Morning Becomes Eclectic has way too much influence on the taste of people in Los Angeles and probably elsewhere.

― Gear! (Gear!), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 18:24 (twenty-one years ago)

finally some recognition for that up-and-comer david bowie!

― scott pl. (scott pl.), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 18:40 (twenty-one years ago)

i wonder who voted for who?

― reo, Tuesday, 24 August 2004 19:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I think the updated website will indicate who nominated which album -- last year's does.

― Matt Sab (Matt Sab), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 19:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Did Dixie Chicks get three votes?

― Huck, Tuesday, 24 August 2004 19:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I truly wonder who on that list nominated the A.C. Newman disc. I applaud them, anyway.

― Softly Weeping at the Oki Dog (Ben Boyer), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 20:58 (twenty-one years ago)

In 2002, my band (Death By Chocolate) was nominated by Iggy Pop and got into the top 75. It's amazing how people can keep you in the dark...I only found out because a friend saw it on the Web and told me: 2002 long list.

― Jez (Jez), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 13:16 (twenty-one years ago)

SHITELIST MORE LIKE IT.

― Rockist_Scientist (rockist_scientist), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:03 (twenty-one years ago)

By process of elimination ...

AC Newman was nominated by one of the critics; the musicians' picks have been identified.

random tidbit :

Jack Black and Perry Farrell both nominated Eagles of Death Metal
as did Josh Homme (and he's in the band!).

― Matt Sab (Matt Sab), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Didn't some of this stuff come out in 03?

― Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Clarification:

AC Newman, nominated by Jenna Jameson standin, Neil Strauss.

Yes, some of this stuff came out in 03. That makes sense cuz these are the rules, as posted:

Check out Josh Tyrangiel's quote: "I get about 3,000 cds a year. Coming up with a list for the Shortlist prize has made my life profoundly miserable."

Now check out his list.

Now break out in laughter.

*yawn*

I predict Franz in a clean sweep for meaningless awards on both sides of the Atlantic this year.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Friday, 24 September 2004 17:01 (twenty-one years ago)
