At lunchtime tomorrow I'll close the leagueofpop@gmail.com inbox to Top 10 Tracks submissions, and then tomorrow evening I'll post the stragglers - those tracks which got more than one vote but didn't make the top 50. The main countdown will run all next 'working' week, and at the weekend the grand list of every single thing submitted will go up. Get your bitching fingers ready!

Once the end-of-2008 extravaganza is done, I have a potential idea for some poptimist fun for 2009 that I will pitch to you soon-ish.

808s is so ridiculously far from being album of the year, jesus. (Not as far as Santogold or Scooter though.) Don't get what's especially "interesting" about 'Rolex' either.

You know, we (including myself) completely and inexplicably forgot about Ashlee's 'Outta My Head' video.
