hi!

Nothing (0/10) that I nominated made the shortlist, and the album I had at the top of the list was disqualified on ground of being too short, far too short apparently even to warrant a bending of the rules. Not, it would seem, that it would have made a blinding bit of difference considering the albums which did receive short-list nominations eventually.

If you'll allow a bit of sickening self promotion here's (effectively) the list of what I nominated, albums classification, then songs.

How long does your album have to be to qualify? And if you've made an album that's too short to qualify as an album, what then have you made?

Heretofore, can we refer to the 'Granny Rule' as the 'Aphex Twin Rule'?

Actually surprised the Number Ones didn't make the list. Did they not see the pitchfork profile???

 

[coast to coast]

The Number One's album is 19 minutes long.

Without waiting to go home and checking the personnel on the sleeve I wonder if the Ginnels record was eligible, and if so was it the first Ginnels record that was.
