MB awards 2020: nominations

**Marie Monday** · 12-18-2020, 12:51 PM

ok then, I guess I'll get this going:

The thread for the annual MB awards nominations. Add some comments to your nominations to make things more juicy and interesting. If y'all submit your nominations early enough we can maybe have the results at the start of the new year (but probably not, oh well) anyway we'll see when we move on to voting. Suggestions for additional categories (or objections to not splitting sexiest member by gender) are welcome.

I'm not even going to complain about the lack of comments because 'hateful elph vs liberal elph' is ****ing funny

ant’s signature links to his review threads
jwb’s blog is special
you don’t waste time on bad jokes you wait until you really have a winner

It’s a toss up between frown and ant for music recs but ant goes further outside my wheelhouse so I gave site contributor to frown but it’s also for music recs

ros still does those radio shows plus when he links to something and you don’t know it you know you need to learn it / plus he gets info early

exo got best taste because he’s been killing it with the jazz (I’m secretly a little threatened tbh)

kiii’s **** is the most next level - I think frown has got some **** in his pocket though

wolf has a great arc to her post history - not just the classic down spiral

So how do we stack up 1945-1980 in your opinion?

I know you go to jazz school everyday at work and I’m ****ing around listening to slushwave and bandcamp ambient releases

even though you rec some unassailable **** I haven’t heard I’m not sure if you have the foundational knowledge I have - what composers they listened to - their philosophies - who played with who played with who -

Oh I don't claim to have more knowledge in pre 1980 jazz either, only that I REALLY haven't stepped into more contemporary jazz at all. I definitely need to read more about jazz and the artists of the 50's and 60's. I have Coltrane books waiting to be opened but I just can't focus on books recently.

I've considered getting an Audible account cause I can't focus on books very well a lot of the time too but I love podcasts. And I used to be able to crack out on books until a a few years ago but it's never come back so keep an eye on that **** cause it might be permanent. Something about life sapping your energy or spending too long on the internet and destroying your concentration.

That would be me.
