my village voice critics' poll thingy

as previously noted, because i am _not_ a man of my word, i went ahead and voted in the village voice critics' poll after saying i wasn't gonna, only because i take perverse pleasure in seeing the names of local artistes on the webpages of big, indifferent national publications. in the interest of full disclosure, here's da shit:

1. Jhon Kahsen - Love's Bitter Rage - Goddamnation Expose (15)
2. Unknown Instructors - The Way Things Work - Smog Veil (14)
3. Dungen - Ta Det Lungt - Subliminal Sounds (13)
4. James Hinkle - Straight Ahead Blues? - Blue Lights (12)
5. Dave and Daver - Jazz Lines - NO LABEL (11)
6. Sinead O'Connor - Throw Down Your Arms - Rocket Science (9)
7. Mars Volta - Frances the Mute - Universal (8)
8. Boris - Akuma No Uta - Southern Lord (7)
9. Fast 'n' Bulbous: The Captain Beefheart Project - Pork Chop Blue Around the Rind - Cuneiform (6)
10. Matisyahu - Live at Stubbs - Or (5)

if i had waited another wk to post this, then undoubtedly something by sunburned hand of the man woulda been on there. oh well. maybe next yr. maybe not.

ADDENDUM: i fucked up and forgot to include mercury rev and petra haden/bill frisell. i suck.

FURTHER ADDENDUM: also sunburned hand of the man's wedlock and no magic man.
