The Songfactors' Choice Top Albums of the Decade: The '00's

[Lea 0]

Why wouldn't it be eligible?

It's a soundtrack?

[Wyld Card 5]

It's a soundtrack?

I think soundtracks should be eligible, if they're form the decade and the songs are too.

[Lea 0]

Well I sure hope so. I will only have one nom if it isn't.

It's gonna be very hard for me to put one over the other tho. I love both my noms. Can't say that happens with me very often.

Soundtracks are albums as much as any others.

Hmmm, I'm tempted to nominate White Blood Cells, but the votesplitting...

Edited November 17, 2009 by Guest

[Levis 6]

NO! Don't nominate it, the 00s were about MUCH MORE than Jack White. It's not the votesplitting that bothers me as much as the waste of a nomination.

I've changed my mind about participating and have asked Martin to rescind my nominations, so nominate White Blood Cells without a threat of vote splitting.

Pipe down youse! Some of us worship his pasty cadaverous carcus

[Wyld Card 5]

I favor the vote-split, I think at least one will still crack the 10.

Seek Magic - Memory Tapes (2009)

The perfect embodiment of the decade, and released at the end of it. Recorded and mixed by Dayve Hawke from his New Jersey residence (under the aliases Weird Tapes and Memory Cassette), shared with the world via a humble blog for two years before going 'viral' when Gorilla vs. Bear unearthed it and shared it with the world. if that isn't enough of an homage to the magic of the internet, the music itself is wonderful and it blends electronic sounds with more spacey sounds without letting either get too overwhelming. It is a splendid album and where the Big Pink failed to deliver, Seek Magic was everything I could have hoped for from Memory Tapes and then some.
