Hey folks!

As the headline says, you have today and tomorrow to fill out a ballot to nominate albums for the upcoming Best Album of 1988 tournament. If you were looking for a link to the ballot in yesterday's newsletter, guess what? It wasn’t there! I totally forgot to put it in!

Not gonna make that mistake again: Go here to the Google Form to enter your nominations. You have until tomorrow, Wednesday November 11th, 11:59pm Central to get it in. Don’t dally!

Yesterday, I said the Power Point Party (where Best Album Bracketeers stumped for their favorite albums to help gin up nominations) was a success. Well, it was recorded, and Alana did some editing (and some recreations, I believe, due to technical issues) and put up the video for everyone to see. Check it out below!

Oh, hey, have you heard of this Bulgarian State Radio & Television Female Vocal Choir? They got this 1988 album called LE MYSTÈRE DES VOIX BULGARES VOLUME TWO and lemme tell ya, it’s a humdinger. Imagine the United Servo Academy Men's Chorus, but instead of Tom Servo they’re all Elizabeth Fraser of the Cocteau Twins. Not rock, all women, occupies a comfortable position between experimental and accessible — this is a great contender for a nom. I give it a very strong Like/Love.

Thanks,

Kent
