Episode #3156
Listener Poll Show for 2010
Thursday, January 06, 2011
Here's the rebuttal to last night’s program where the listeners weigh in on the best new music releases of 2010. First off, a big thank you to all of the listeners who voted! We found that there were some hard-fought battles this year between well-waged Facebook (and other social media) campaigns and other organized mailing list calls-to-action. However, we have a clear front-runner, with some unexpected and predictable results. The voting closed at noon today. Tonight's 25th annual New Sounds Listener Poll show will contain the music that emerged victorious from this year's contest.

I am puzzled by the similarity of all of the pieces represented on this list. Why the fascination with what is essentially two-dimensional, flat, non-narrative albeit very attractive wallpaper? Seems like there's an overarching attraction to what is perceived of as being hip without there being really any substance. While the emperors, do have clothes and they're pretty, they're also really cheap.
