[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

A double-header today - the prestigious Lifetime Achievement award, one careless owner in James Brown, and the contentious Argument of the Year award. Astute readers may notice the effects of the randomiser in these.

[Poll #1108552]

Meanwhile the TRACKS OF THE YEAR spreadsheet just keeps on GROWING. 118 different tracks named so far, with two acts getting FIVE different ones each. Send YOUR top 10 to leagueofpop@gmail.com before New Years to be counted.

I nominated Girls Aloud for Lifetime Achievement because it is traditionally the "please retire now" award, but as Kat says death changes everything. So Pimp C. I don't know who two of the people in this category are!

Re: argument -

- Britney at the VMAs wasn't really an argument at all! Maybe Britney vs The World, but The World was kind of unanimous here in shouting "OMG get help"
- The only people arguing re: the death of Oink were dumb spoilt indie kids with alarming senses of entitlement. Everyone else just said "oh shut up you idiots, get over it"
- Is Indie White? was potentially a good argument spoilt by completely dumb premise which completely missed the hows and whys of racial discrimination in the mainstream music press
- Klaxons and Nu-Rave - haha. I maintain I won this one
- which leaves Us v K-Punk which was a proper argument, won by us. Hurrah!

Wasn't this the reaction to K-Punk as well?

(Or it should have been.)
