Have you been over-indulging on those pickled onions again?:rolleyes:

Pickled onions???!

 

Eeeeeew! :sick2:

oh yes!

 

 

i have a feeling that vecketamist is going to be the winner and if isn't :furious2:

 

:P

 

may the best album of 2009 win!

Do you know how many different albums have been nominated? Maybe for the countdown, the 25 ablums can have a blurb each. The blurbs can be written by the person who had that album at the highest rank or just any old random? Could that work?

Prediction

1. Muse

2. Grizzly Bear

3. U2

4. Phoenix

5. Metric

6. Mew

I dunno... without counting anything yet, I'm not sure how Muse isn't going to win. But much as I love them, I kind of hope they don't. :confused:

Wild guess: The Yeah Yeah Yeahs will finish ahead of Metric... :curtain:

You know there will be tomato throwing from me if they win :P

I usually put something together- check the old countdown threads. It will depend on a lot of things, but me and Briggins might have something special up our sleeves for this one.

Eek. Remind me to wear stain-proof clothes, then. Wait... I don't own any. :tongue:

 

Speaking of, any idea what's happening?

oh... well i guess it would've helped if i looked at the lists, which i didn't. i really hope muse doesn't win... sorry to all muse fans

You know there will be tomato throwing from me if they win :P

 

i'll join you briggs

VECKATIMEST2009!

viva la revolution!

I hope they don't either... just because The Resistance wasn't very good.

I agree, it was strange and thre are too much pop songs on it:(

but Guiding Light and Cross Pollinaton are brilliants I think :heart:

 

so album of the year is new Green Day! :smug:

Speaking of, any idea what's happening?

Right now my brain is filled with my honours thesis, so I haven't really thought about the award presentation much yet.

But I finish up school on Wednesday (other than a friggin exam at 7:00 on the 19th...yes a saturday night exam, sometimes I hate Dal).

Saturday night I'm going to Hey Rosetta! (possibly going to the Friday night show too)

So Sunday would probably be the best time.

Wild guess: The Yeah Yeah Yeahs will finish ahead of Metric... :curtain:

 

I will be celebrating a small inner-victory if that happens.

^^Ok, so Sunday afternoon we meet at your place, you get the tech side set up and I'll bring the list and lots of multimedia links and stuff?

NOMORESTORIES2009! :snobby:

Yeah that should work.

 

And I guess plan B is just go the traditional route and do it like previous countdowns.

Exactly.

 

Good luck finishing up school stuff.

 

As long as you keep the time blocked off, we can work out the details once you get your brain back. (4pm here would be 8 and 9pm in Europe, just for reference...)

 

And if that time won't work, I am pretty flexible time-wise, at least after this coming Thursday.

NOMORESTORIES2009! :snobby:

 

This! :snobby:

I doubt Veckatimest will be #1, as much as I would like it to be. A top 5 finish for sure though.

 

#1? Probably Muse.
