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.

Have you read Simon R's essay about them that accompanies the P&J poll. It is funny! Also VW + "Put A Donk On It" = HE IS YOU!

hahaha oh dear i was just writing a grumpy post in my own journal about how much that essay made me want to throw bricks through things.

i think i have a semi-subconscious personal vendetta against reynolds for thinking it's clever to have taped things off the radio in the 90s though so cannot pretend to be unbiased.

OH MY GOD YOU ARE SUCH A FUCKING JOKE, REYNOLDS. though this sentence makes sense if the number of hip-hop records he has heard is zero, which is actually totally plausible.

I wouldn't get annoyed by him if people didn't keep pointing his stupid shit (copyright Girlicious) out to me!

Don't they just make you want to listen to Graceland instead though?

[carsmilesteve.livejournal.com]

well, sort of, so i bought a copy of graceland (previous version being on twenty year old audio tape) as well.

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

what about El Guincho?

They made me want to listen to Graceland and I hadn't even heard Graceland. (So I did. And it was better.)
