I like searching the individual ballots for folks I know. Mike McGonigal has crazy taste in music. And this is coming from someone who loves his Yeti comps!

Wow, what a triumph. Please let my life be filled with triumphs like that in the future. Maybe next I can find a shiny penny on the street!

What if THAT was Diablo Cody's Oscar acceptance speech?

That would be fantastic, except she'd probably throw in a blog joke and shout "By the power of Greyskull," or something.

Dear God, someone please explain MIA to me. I listened to it 6 times, and haven't heard anything I had not heard prior to 2005 YET.

She takes the harsh grime sound and makes it catchy and poppy with a big dose of exoticism.  I like it a lot, but I have no idea if it will still sound interesting in 5 years.

Pazz and Jop usually gets "new" sounds wrong.  In 1996, DJ Shadow was #4.  The best album of Aphex Twin's career, meanwhile, "I Care Because You Do," didn't make either the 1995(British) or 1996(domestic, I think) lists.

Edit:  And in 1995, Tricky was #1.  Tricky.  My goodness.

I liked Tricky but I was high that whole year.  I'm currently a big MIA fan, but I really don't think she's blazing any new trails - as far as I can tell it's basically a mix of techniques commonly used in hip-hop, and world-pop sort of stuff along the lines of Peter Gabriel and David Byrne.  I love it, though, just for its catchiness.

The music is alright, but she's got the whole smokin-hawt babe thing going on which sets her over the top.
