Best Debut Album of 2008? The Guardian wants to know what you think!

October 7th, 2008

The Guardian newspaper is running a poll to find out people’s favourite first album and film this year. It will eventually lead to one band / artist and one director being given some sort of award. Basically, you need to email them with your suggestions and a bit of text saying why you think your nominee deserves it, then they’re going to compile a shortlist, and then we’ll all have vote on the shortlist, and then I guess a band and a director will be given a pat on the back and be awarded a limited edition marmite and celery sandwich cut into the shape of a big thumbs up. Or something like that.

Anyway - seeing as the shortlist and eventual winner is going to be determined by the public this is a great opportunity to support the bands you love and see them rewarded. Personally, I reckon it’s got to be Late Of The Pier that’ve made the only truly stunning debut this year, so that’s who I’ve stuck my vote in for. You can cast your votes here: CLICK ME!

Just CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD ‘DROWN’ BY ddd and enjoy this slab of searing sonic bliss!

And, as usual, we’re offering you the chance to win entry to the club to see all this fabulous shenanigans for FREE! all you have to do is answer the following question correctly and you and a friend will get in to the club for nowt…..

  8. Lookingforloveintherightplace Says:

    Dating certainly is difficult these days. It’s expensive, time consuming and even at times… dangerous. I’m horrified at all the one night stand activity. Sex is wonderful but, is it worth your life? Also, all I’m seeing these days is a bunch of commercials pushing us to take pills, have surgery, and buy sexy jeans all to be able to have better sex. What happened to the love part of it? People need to slow down with each other and be less judgemental. Sex can be a beautiful thing between two people in love. It gets a lot less beautiful when you wake up next to somone you don’t recognize. I’m on an interesting and certainly unique dating site called notlookingforsex. Everyone on there has their ownstory but one thing is consistant. They’re all looking for a more intelligent and healthy relationship. Less sex, more love. I haven’t met the one of my dreams yet but I certainly am finding a nicer bunch of people with alot more morals to chose from.

    I was just looking around on google for some RvR videos and came up on this site… Warhammer Online RvR

    It seems like a great idea to get a community based around the people who want to run set 6 mans and look for competitive group fights. Should be pretty popular with the skullthrone community, I hear thats THE server to be on for pvp.

    Disulfiram is against to consider inveterate hard stuffism. It causes unpleasant effects when uniform unprofound amounts of hard stuff are consumed. These effects group flushing of the kisser, migraine, nausea, vomiting, casket tribulation, fault, blurred sight, ly ill intermingling, sweating, choking, breathing problem, and anxiety or antabuse opioid. These effects off far 10 minutes after John Barleycorn enters the fullness and stand up for 1 hour or more. Disulfiram is not a fix for John Barleycornism, but discourages drinking.
