My Pazz & Jop Ballot, part one

[koganbot]

Here's my Pazz & Jop ballot as I just submitted it; I've got a week to write comments. If I write any, I'll repost this with the comments added. Also, as far as I'm concerned the year doesn't end until December 31, so I'll post expanded lists then, and for all I know the order and contents of my top tens might also have changed.

Re: Lex, prepare to be horrified!

argh, this got mauled:

Right now the return of the beats and riffs comes as a release, but I think it might be even more or a release if it were a release from something to exquisite to bear rather

How about:

(when it comes to dance, bear in mind that I basically like poncy hipster dance - which might be because I socialise to house/techno/balearic stuff, and I believe that it is important when it comes to going out to be as scene as possible - but stuff like Scooter is just too brash, too lowest-common-denominator for me. This is kinda indefensible snobbery but I figure that I only have a finite number of years to be an indefensible scenester so I am making full use of it, and it's not as if I'm pretending to like or dislike music. Simply put, it's not a groove I can dance to right now.) (The port may well be kicking in about now.)

Well, it's so ridiculously fast I don't understand how anyone dances to it for more than twenty minutes, but for those twenty it's irresistible.
