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.

it's not that i particularly have anything against the song aside from not especially liking it myself, it was more a genuine 'wtf' because to me it's ...i dunno, such a casual track i can't imagine it being something for lists. but each to their own, etc.

hurrah for 'into the nightlife' being on your ballot, though; i still can't get over how utterly, utterly brilliant that whole album is and especially that track.
