[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.

Argh! I didn't see Tony Wilson. I am an idiot. Yes my vote should be for him.

I don't for a second think that his death should guarantee him it, tho I am pretty amazed that any Brit with a big love of music wouldn't know who he was...

Seconded! I'd change my vote from Britney but, er, I can't be arsed. REALLY surprised that anyone would have not heard of him, esp after films like 24 Hour Party People and Control.

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

I've never heard of those films either!

have you got early onset alzhiemers dear? control is like one of the biggest most talked about films of the year, and also about music. ditto for 24hpp three/four years ago...

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

I just looked them up - I didn't know Control was the Joy Division one, I knew about it but wasn't interested enough to remember the title! Never heard of the other one. The only film about music I can remember actually wanting to see recently is Dreamgirls (which I didn't manage to see!), everything else tends to be about boring musicians...

sometimes i wonder whether you actually *like* music, lex!

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

I don't like bad music!

[celentari.livejournal.com]

:0 x 10!
Tho doubtless this is the reaction of people when I showcase my ignorance of music on this here site.

Neither did I. I am getting senile.
