I figured it would be better to post it right here where everyone could see it, as opposed to in the WoM section, where no one really goes at this point.

 

Anyway, I would like to thank everyone who participated and helped make this happen. :smiley: Now, if everyone is ready, I'd like to get this started.

 

First, to announce the awards that didn't quite work out. There weren't nearly as many as I thought there were, but there were a few. These include:

 

♦ Most Underrated Album

♦ Best Cover (band/artist)

♦ Best New Artist Introduced to Forum

 

That's about it. I was able to sort through everything else. So, if you guys are ready, I'll go ahead and get this show on the road. I told you I'd do this today, so I am.

HUZZAH! :awesome:

 

I'm ready. :lol: :P

Alright. As long as someone other than myself is ready, then I am, too.

 

OK. Here we go.

 

Song of the Year

 

This was a close race. The winner is...

 

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0L6ZFhZVOx0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0L6ZFhZVOx0[/ame]

 

"Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)" by Arcade Fire!

Whoops, double post. My bad.

Atease's song of the year was better :snobby: Good choice though, Coldplayers.

Lol, I think it's the same as Pitchfork's. May I ask who came in second, if you still have the data lying around?

 

(All I Need eff tee dubs btw)

I'm really sorry, guys. My home Internet is being slower than it usually is, and it's already slow.

 

Anyway, next category.

 

EP of the Year

 

You guys chose...

 

 

"4 Can Keep a Secret if 3 of Them Are Dead" by Apparatjik!

lolzapparatjik. Then again I didn't listen to like any EPs this year.

 

I feel like I shouldn't comment on every single award, I'll shut my trap now. ;D

Lol, I think it's the same as Pitchfork's. May I ask who came in second, if you still have the data lying around?

 

The other choice in the runoffs was "Zebra" by Beach House. :nice:

 

OK. Next category.

 

Music Video of the Year

 

It was this one right here.

Yep. It's "The Suburbs" by Arcade Fire!

Good choice for Song of the Year. :wacky:

 

Surprised Apparatjik won, although I'm fine with it- it's the only EP I listened to this year. :lol:

 

Edit: I still haven't watched that music video. :disappointed:

who is arcade fire

THIS IS EXCITING

Best Debut Album

 

It was a close call in the first round, but it took over in the runoffs. You chose...

 

 

"Broken Bells" by Broken Bells!

WAS HURTS SECOND?

woot!

 

Josh, what song won song of the year for atease?

lolzapparatjik. Then again I didn't listen to like any EPs this year.

 

I feel like I shouldn't comment on every single award, I'll shut my trap now. ;D

 

Surprised Apparatjik won, although I'm fine with it- it's the only EP I listened to this year. :lol:

 

Yeah, Apparatjik kinda won by default, so... :tongue:

 

Sara, feel free to comment as much as you please. I honestly don't care.

 

WAS HURTS SECOND?

 

Christina, it was the only other option in the runoffs. Of course it was second. :tongue:

 

OK, I'm grouping the next three together. Why? They all have the same winner, and it's pointless to make three separate posts on it.

 

Most Overrated Album + Album Art of the Year + Album of the Year (Canada)

 

If you don't have it figured out by now, here's the memo. The winner for all three of these is...

 

 

"The Suburbs" by Arcade Fire!

Hahahaha, okay. :wacky:

 

Yay! :awesome:

The similarity so far to Pitchfork is disturbing. Suburbs got most overrated and best on Pitchfork as well, and Sprawl II got best song also.

Album of the Year (United States)

 

Given that this was my favorite album of 2010, I'm excited about this one. The winner is...

 

 

"High Violet" by The National!

Album of the Year (United Kingdom)

 

I was surprised by this, honestly, particularly after reflecting on the results of the 2010 album countdown. I'm not complaining, though. The winner is...

 

 

"Happiness" by Hurts!

^I never even heard of that album

Album of the Year (Rest of Europe)

 

This was another close one, but there was a winner. The winner is...

 

 

"Go" by Jónsi!

Music Event of the Year

 

You guys chose...

 

 

Glastonbury 2010!

Best Live Act/Tour of the Year

 

We had two great runoff candidates, and one triumphed. The winner is...

 

 

Arcade Fire!

I think that is the wrong Suburbs video? Surely the Spike Jonze one won.
