In no order:
> 1) best east-coast band
Preppy Relatives
State Chimps
Rebecca West
honorable mentions go to Chinstraps, Coyote, Spine, and Superfriendz.
> 2) best non-east-coast band
P.J. Harvey
Royal Trux
Archers of Loaf
> 3) best east-coast LP
Motes - _Gesner_
hardship post - _Somebody Spoke_
Various - _Watering Hole Frequency_
Honorable mentions: Rebecca West - _burners on_
Superfriendz - _mock up, scale down_
I'm only giving them honorable mention because both are seriously marred
by Brenndan McGuire's crappy production. Why is he so popular?
> 4) best non-east-coast LP
Archers of Loaf - _Vee Vee_
Superchunk - _here's where the strings come in_
Royal Trux - _Thank You_ (not as good as the utterly classic _Cats and
Dogs_, but still a damn fine album)
> 5) best east-coast EP or single
Thrush Hermit - _Great Pacific Ocean_
various - _Edgefest 7"_ (if I could only find a copy of it...)
State Champs - _Nevada Downs_
Honorable Men: Coyote - _ep_
Spine - _Black Greasy Five Eye_
Potbelly (and Stand gt) - _Smoke More Pot_
> 6) best non-east-coast EP or single
Archers of Loaf - _Classic Rock Is For Pussies_ (even if the songs sucked
which they don't, this would win for the name alone)
Nerdy Girl - s/t
Local Rabbits - _Put on your snowsuit..._ (for sentimental reasons)
Honorable mentions: Scrawl - _Good Under Pressure_ (2 utterly ass-kicking
songs)
Nerdy Girl - _New Jersey_
> 7) best live performance (a single date, a single band please!)
single date: Sometime in april, I got to see 4 incredible bands, three of
them for the first time. It all happened at the Khyber, and those
that played were:
State Champs
Popularity Contest
Preppy Relatives
The Tim Robbins Experience
single band: Almost every coyote show, but in particular the Bubai-encore
at their record release gig
> 8) best video (EC or non)
TV sucks. Fuck you Much Music. (ie, I don't have cable)
9) best vinyl discoveries in my dad's record collection
Peter Thomas Sound Orchestra -
original soundtrack to the motion picture "Chariots of the Gods",
or for those of you that have seen it in french, "Presence des
Extra-terrestre". (Dad, I'll never grow tired of this)
T-Bones - _Shapin' Things Up_
The 50 Guitars of Tommy Garrett - _El Hombre_
thanks, I feel better now.
