Pazz and Jop results.

No time to go back to the predictions thread, but xhuxk was right about MIA winning singles, and I was right about Portishead doing very well in albums, and I can't remember who else said what.

Frank Kogan Affinity List Part Two

[koganbot]

People who voted for three or more things that I voted for:

David Moore 6 (CSS Donkey, Ashlee Simpson Bittersweet World, Danity Kane Welcome To The Dollhouse, The Veronicas Hook Me Up, which I voted for last year, September "Cry For You," Ashlee Simpson "Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya)") [we both voted for "See You Again" last year, which by my rules - one of the votes has to be this year - doesn't count, but it gives Dave the tie breaker over Jimmy])

Jimmy Draper 6 (Miley Cyrus "See You Again," Ashlee Simpson "Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya)," which he voted for last year, Danity Kane Welcome To The Dollhouse, Santogold, Britney Spears Circus, Rihanna "Disturbia")

Caryn Ganz 4 (Britney Spears Circus, Robyn, Santogold, Rihanna "Disturbia")

Josh Timmerman 3 (Santogold, Britney Spears Circus, Miley Cyrus "See You Again")

Chris Molanphy 3 (Santogold, Miley Cyrus "See You Again," Rihanna "Disturbia")

Not surprising that I'd vote a lot in common with David and Jimmy, since we're regularly telling each other what we're listening to. I don't know much of Caryn Ganz's work, should do an Internet search. Josh Timmerman you'll remember as the fellow who gave I Am Me a favorable review at Stylus, to the distress of some of the peanut gallery; here he is on blogspot; Chris Molanphy and I were colleagues on Radio On back in the day)(not that I ever met him or anything)

By the way, I noticed they didn't carry over "See You Again"'s 2007 votes (it receieved at least one, Frank's); not sure how much higher it would finished if they had.

It got three: me, Dave Moore, and someone named Michael Nelson. (Ha, I deleted my post to fix the parentheses, and you posted while I was fixing it.)

And for the first time since something like 1988 Chuck Eddy didn't make the affinity list (he was only at 2, with "See You Again" and Buraka Som Sistema "Kalemba (Wegue Wegue)"), but his singles top ten had a whole shitload that was on my long list.

Chris Molanphy, if I'm remembering this right, is also one of the better commenters and featured posters over at Idolator these days when it comes to the pop beat.
