What is a blog?  For us it is a short blurb that we write when the mood strikes us.  It can be first person, funny or informative. In short, a blog is whatever we want it to be. Published Dec. 8, 2008 at 10:49 a.m.

Another December means assembling another annual ballot for the Village Voice's Pazz & Jop Poll, something I've been doing for a couple decades now. This is the first year I didn't keep a running list all year long. So, I feel like I'm missing something big.

Here's my current list, tell me what I'm missing.

Some of the discs are from late 2007, which is acceptable since those records made their biggest impact in 2008. Also, please note, that I assign all the records an equal 10 points (voters have 100 points to assign to the top 10 records), so the list is not in any special order.

  1. Radiohead -- In Rainbows (ATO)
  2. Colin Meloy -- Sings Live! (Kill Rock Stars)
  3. The Kooks -- Konk (Astralwerks)
  4. MGMT -- Oracular Spectacular (Columbia)
  5. Paul Weller -- 22 Dreams (Yep Roc)
  6. Perturbazione -- Pianissimo Fortissimo (EMI Italia)
  7. Subsonica -- L'eclissi (Sony Italia)
  8. Vampire Weekend (XL)
  9. Yelle -- Pop-Up (EMI/Source)
  10. Josh Rouse -- Country Mouse City House (Bedroom Classics)
