Album Of The Year
Band Of Horses - Everything All The Time (Sub Pop)
Beirut - Gulag Orkestar (Ba Da Bing)
Belle & Sebastian - The Life Pursuit (Matador)
Cat Power - The Greatest (Matador)
Girl Talk - Night Ripper (Illegal Art)
Grizzly Bear - Yellow House (Warp)
J Dilla - Donuts (Stones Throw)
Joanna Newsom - Ys (Drag City)
Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings The Flood (Anti-)
Silversun Pickups - Carnavas (Dangerbird)
The Hold Steady - Boys And Girls In America (Vagrant)
The Knife - Silent Shout (Mute)

For me it's between Grizzly Bear and the Knife, but since Grizzly Bear are also nominated in the indie rock album of the year I'll likely vote the Knife

Thoughts?

disappointed but thoroughly unsurprised by how little the final cut of nominees had to do w/ my "cartel" ballot or whatever.

i don't get scott walker not being nominated for best packaging.

I'm proud to say my votes helped push Agalloch, Prurient and Pigeon John over the top!

mute isn't an indie I just realized

Mute goes through Caroline Distro for half of their stuff which--according to the Plug mugs--makes those releases eligible since they don't see any of the major label money. So, like, The Knife is eligible but Erasure isn't. Or something.

that's ridiculous

― pernicus (pernicus), Wednesday, 15 November 2006 00:23 (nineteen years ago)

Finally, an attempt to shine some attention on little known artists like Neko Case.

figuring out who was indie enough got to be too much, but I think most of my nominees qualified.

So does this mean that Astralwerks is an "indie" too b/c they use caroline?

― pernicus (pernicus), Wednesday, 15 November 2006 13:59 (nineteen years ago)

For the releases that go through Caroline, I guess.

― Whiney G. Weingarten (whineyg), Wednesday, 15 November 2006 14:27 (nineteen years ago)

Christ, that's too indie - even for me.
