I think it's Filter that posts opposing perspectives on certain albums.

under the radar also does it.

Then it's Under The Radar. I read both but couldn't remember which it was.

If you'd be willing to write a blurb and don't care what you write about, say so here.

As long as you (the collective Obner) can get me a copy of the album, I'll review whatever you want me to if you need it.

I'm down for whatever, but I wanna review Teh Clipse if it makes it.

I'm pretty sure I'll have any album that'll be in the top 20. Once Shmoo sends me the list, I'm going to try to download anything I don't already have although I can't imagine what that would be.

shmoo · **Posted:** Wed Jan 10, 2007 11:02 pm

With shmoo in charge, the Bon Savants are guaranteed to be in the top 20.

Who said that?

Cool. With one or two exceptions, I'm guessing I have everything that's going to be on there since I am the voice for "mainstream indie" around here. :lol:

Hated:

Dick Meatwood · **Posted:** Fri Jan 12, 2007 12:08 pm

hey look · **Posted:** Fri Jan 12, 2007 1:34 pm

anything that is in my top 50.

http://andy.antishift.org/2006

or maybe something isn't in it. i'm down for whatever, cuz i pretty much guarantee i've heard everything in our top 20.

hey look · **Posted:** Fri Jan 12, 2007 1:37 pm

i think the only album i don't want to review is Ys

tentoze · **Posted:** Fri Jan 12, 2007 1:47 pm

Looking at everyone's lists and comparing them to mine, I've got a feeling I'd have to write a blurb on a not-heard album. Which I can certainly do.

jsh · **Posted:** Fri Jan 12, 2007 4:19 pm

I haven't gotten around to posting my list yet, but I would write a review if approached.

Liked:

Very few that will end up in the top 20.

Dick Meatwood · **Posted:** Mon Jan 15, 2007 1:43 am

OK, so here's who I've got so far:

harry
paladisiac
BIG DICK McGEE
Sleepytime Tea*
FT*
this guy has crack*
Vanlandingham
Sketch
pumachik
Yail Bloor*
Sen LooGAR
splates*
F**k You Dave
El Guapo
Radcliffe*
contradiction*
tentoze*
Esh*

18 total. Not too bad, but for this to work really well, I'd love to have a few more. So if your name's not on this list, and you'd like to write a blurb, please post in this thread ASAP. I will start handing out blurb assignments as soon as shmoo sends me the results, which will probably be Tuesday or Wednesday.

If your name has an * by it, it means you did not specify anything specific in this thread that you want to write about. That's fine, but keep in mind that if there are certain things you really don't want to write about (other than Joanna Newsom which most likely will not make the list), it would help save time if you could specify here. I may not have time to research everybody's lists before handing these out, and don't expect me to know too much about your tastes.

Also, of course, if your name is on this list, but you don not want to write a blurb, please let me know ASAP.

Thee Incident · **Posted:** Mon Jan 15, 2007 2:54 am

If you need, I can bring the hate on pretty much any record outside of my top 10 or so and can do a few blurbs.

Y'know... versatility.

I'd like to write a blurb on why "Ys" should be on this list, if it doesn't end up being there, despite that it didn't make the top 10 of my own.

Drinky, you know my tastes basically. I'll write about anything I'm asked to.

Yeah I like the "Airing of Grievances" idea and would be happy to add that to my workload if applicable.

Dick Meatwood · **Posted:** Mon Jan 15, 2007 12:51 pm

That is a good idea, but I don't really know how that would be organized for this.
