can't blame either of those two on jersey

reggie (qualmsley), Saturday, 28 May 2016 05:32 (nine years ago)

Honestly, I'll take the Grip Weeds over anyone on that list.

Hideous Lump, Saturday, 28 May 2016 05:34 (nine years ago)

but would you take them over the smithereens?

Augustus Asplet Le Gros
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Augustus Asplet Le Gros
Augustus Asplet Le Gros or Augustus Aspley Le Gros (14 April 1840, Saint Helier – 3 December 1877) was a Norman language poet from Jersey and a Jurat of the Royal Court of Jersey.
Biography[edit]
A.A. Le Gros was raised in the parish of Saint Peter, Jersey. One of the first pupils at Victoria College founded in 1851, he entered a solicitor's office, but abandoned his study of the law to work on the farm of his grandfather in Saint Peter. In 1865, he was elected secretary of the Royal Jersey Agricultural and Horticultural Society. In 1873, the parishioners of Saint Peter elected him constable, the head of the municipality.
In the same year he was one of the founders of the Société Jersiaise, of which he became the first secretary. He began work on a dictionary, which remained unfinished, of Jèrriais, which served as the basis for the Glossaire du Patois Jersiais edited by the Société Jersiaise in 1924.
His poems, in a rather lyrical style, signed A.A.L.G., in Jèrriais, in French and in English, appeared in the papers and almanacs of Jersey and Guernsey.

La Nouvelle Année, a review edited by A.A. Le Gros
For eight years Le Gros published a small annual review of poetry in Jèrriais and Guernésiais. He also published two small volumes of poetry in English, Poems for Home and Fireside (London, 1863) and Poems (London, 1868), besides a history of Mont Orgueil in Jersey : Mont Orgueil Castle: Its History and Ruins.
In 1875, the electors of the island made him a Jurat. He died at the age of 37 in 1877.
Some of his texts have been set to music in the 20th and 21st centuries.

gotta go w my wrens cuz i'm sentimental

dc, Saturday, 28 May 2016 13:47 (nine years ago)

couple of artists I'd be tempted to write in:

East River Pipe
Frank Sinatra

henry s, Saturday, 28 May 2016 13:54 (nine years ago)

(waves from Jersey)

East River Pipe for sure.

Evan, Sunday, 29 May 2016 12:56 (nine years ago)

Where is George Clinton?

dlp9001, Sunday, 29 May 2016 18:18 (nine years ago)

Voted for Red but I think Patti Smith is Jersey enough to be on the list. Also I would write in Jim Albertson

kind of lolth but mostly strahd (los blue jeans), Wednesday, 1 June 2016 03:41 (nine years ago)

but probably not vote for him either

kind of lolth but mostly strahd (los blue jeans), Wednesday, 1 June 2016 03:43 (nine years ago)

TARANTINO! (dog latin), Wednesday, 1 June 2016 12:49 (nine years ago)

As a lifelong NJ resident I am obviously casting my vote for Springsteen. For those looking for more write-in possibilities how about:

Whitney Houston
Karen O
Gaslight Anthem
The Smithereens
Shaquille O'Neal
My Chemical Romance
Winter Hours

kornrulez6969, Wednesday, 1 June 2016 13:14 (nine years ago)

You guys all still live in NJ?

Evan, Wednesday, 1 June 2016 13:20 (nine years ago)

misfits are the obvious correct choice

Al Moon Faced Poon (Moodles), Wednesday, 1 June 2016 13:24 (nine years ago)

Voted for David S. Ware because nobody else was going to, and because he lived two towns over from me. Super nice guy.

Don Van Gorp, midwest regional VP, marketing (誤訳侮辱), Wednesday, 1 June 2016 14:29 (nine years ago)

i voted for ware too! though after seeing heron oblivion on saturday night i might shoulda gone w/ meg baird

adam, Wednesday, 1 June 2016 14:29 (nine years ago)

david s. ware as well, because he was great. Almost tempted to vote Redman for his first two albums, but too much he did afterwards was so so.

calzino, Wednesday, 1 June 2016 14:50 (nine years ago)

Seriously, George Clinton. I grew up in the town where he had his barber shop. I love the feelies and all, but come on.

(Actually O.T. Zappo is the correct choice, but nobody is going to know who he is and google isn't going to help you much on this one.)

dlp9001, Wednesday, 1 June 2016 18:00 (nine years ago)

tossed Sarah Vaughan a vote (my dad always talked about the time she sang in the church choir with him)

we can be heroes just for about 3.6 seconds (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 1 June 2016 19:04 (nine years ago)

tbh, I never really felt like Bruce was that big a deal south of Cherry Hill. Heard more stories about George Thorogood.

mookieproof, Wednesday, 1 June 2016 23:44 (nine years ago)

oh duh, and Floyd Vivino of course

kind of lolth but mostly strahd (los blue jeans), Thursday, 2 June 2016 00:36 (nine years ago)

We have a winner. I'll even concede O.T. Zappo to him.

dlp9001, Thursday, 2 June 2016 00:52 (nine years ago)

Well if we're choosing people because we lived near them, I'm going to have to vote for Enzo Stuarti.

Hideous Lump, Thursday, 2 June 2016 03:48 (nine years ago)

BREAKING: @CoryBooker "I hate to contradict @BonJovi but man @HillaryClinton you give love a good name!"

King Nagl (Eazy), Thursday, 2 June 2016 05:15 (nine years ago)

no Tom Scharpling. sad.

Treeship, Thursday, 2 June 2016 05:29 (nine years ago)

ducktails and real estate shouldn't have different listings. you're going to split the matt mondanile vote... not that he would win anyway.

memory tapes is the best new jersey chillwave act anyway

Treeship, Thursday, 2 June 2016 05:32 (nine years ago)

I never thought of Ducktails as chillwave. First record (which I love) is "lo-fi bedroom pop" or whatever and the more recent records (not a fan) are more straight up cleanly produced indie rock iirc

Evan, Thursday, 2 June 2016 12:26 (nine years ago)

Lifetime.

Treeship, Thursday, 2 June 2016 13:14 (nine years ago)

they've moved away from the chillwave sound, but i think their early stuff was definitely a chillwave side project to "real estate," which had a kind of chillwavey dreamlike quality to it too, even though they were releasing more or less straight ahead surf rock songs

Treeship, Thursday, 2 June 2016 13:18 (nine years ago)

in any case this is some of the best music ever made

Treeship, Thursday, 2 June 2016 13:20 (nine years ago)

to round out this morning's chillwave listening. the part that starts at 16:30 is just incredible.

Treeship, Friday, 4 November 2016 00:19 (nine years ago)

even though this poll is really a who's who of the best music ever made, i'm going to have to go with misfits

Glad to see David S Ware got some votes, was listening to Godspelized earlier and not caring if he fits the criteria for jersey bard.

calzino, Saturday, 5 November 2016 00:10 (nine years ago)

His Parker/Shipp/Ibarra quintet does bring out his lyrical qualities beautifully though.
