VOTE FOR YOUR TOP FIVE ALBUMS!!
Welcome to the longest running monthly episodic thread in DiS history. This thread is now in its 12th year. It’s always been a good place for recommendations. It’s also confirmation that I’ve little better to do than to count stuff up on here for over a decade.
Vote for your favourite five albums. Make your selections clear please as it makes tallying up the scores easier. If you list a whole bunch of albums without making your selections clear I’ll take the first five mentioned as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th. No joint positions please. Sorry to be a pedant.
Your album of the month will get five points, 2nd placed album four points, 3rd placed album three points, 4th placed album two points and 5th one point. If you name only one album I’ll give that five points. If you name two albums I’ll score them with five and four points etc. You get the message.
My choices:
1. Larkin Poe - Bloom
2. Kathryn Mohr - Waiting Room
3. Pigeon Pit - crazy arms
4. jasmine.4.t. - You Are The Morning
5. Victoria Canal - Slowly, It Dawns
I haven’t heard too many new albums this year. I’ve mainly been reacquainting myself with albums by The Jesus Lizard and Shilpa Ray. I had/have tickets for both artists this month.
I enjoyed the Radio 2-friendly mum/dad country rock album of Larkin Poe and saw them at Rough Trade East a few days ago. A good album. I liked my other picks too but will have to revisit them.
Always a lot of great recommendations from you guys about albums that I’ve missed or overlooked. Not sure what’s out tomorrow. I’ll see what you guys are listening to.
Please forgive any shameless bumps of this thread during the week. I’ll keep this thread open until Sunday 9th February and so you’ll have over a week to listen to tomorrow’s releases if there’s anything out before choosing.
Vote now!! (Or later in the week) but make your choices clear please.
