We just opened voting for the 2007 Gummys a few days ago, and already we're on our way to a record turnout. So as you prep for food coma and since it is the season, we just wanted to pause to say: thank you. And to say: If you haven't yet, vote! One randomly selected member of the electorate will get the Top 50 discs as chosen by fellow Stereogum readers compliments of Other Music, a prize even we'd like to take home.
Based on prior discussion on Best Video, it looks like Zach Galifianakis & Will Oldham struck a nerve with that air humping, although don't forget this also was the year of Grizzly's "Knife," Justice's "D.A.N.C.E.," Battles' "Atlas," Robyn's "Konichiwa Bitches," Beirut's "Elephant Gun," etc. and etc. There's hottie talk (from Leslie Feist and Natasha Khan and Annie Clark to Kanye and Britt and Condon and Jens and Krug). But we won't even try to start shortlisting the albums namedrops. (2007's been a good year for LPs. Yes, we realize narrowing it down to three is tough.)
Remember you can vote for anybody, even if there isn't an apparent auto-fill option; if enough people vote similarly, an auto-fill choice will be dynamically created. And if you are writing in a vote, please adhere to the formats suggested on the voting page, else we'll be forced to disqualify your vote and that would suck.
OK. Now hit gummyawards.com. Polls close 12/6 at 6 PM EST. Eat, then vote, then eat some more.
Happy Thanksgiving!
