MEGA-CRITIC COMPETITION JANUARY : THE CLUES

Guess (Deadline = 25th) the Top 3 (in order) of this month´s Mega-Critic-Chart (Publication = 31st) and enter the chance to win a CD of your choice.

It has been quite a lame month so far. If the scores of the January releases so far would be counted to the Mega-Critic-EOY-Top 150, there would be a weak amount of 4 New Entries (# 14, # 48, # 74 and # 76).

The four acts so far to be on top of the list are (in no particular order) :

A A female singer/songwriter from Colorado; she did a guest appearance on The Decemberists ´The Crane ´Wife´

B A multi-talented guy from Toronto; he did orchestral arrangements for Arcade Fire, Mountain Goats, Last Shadow Puppets

C An indie-rock band around Ezra Koenig from New York City

D An indie-rock band around Britt Daniel from Austin/Texas

Good Luck !!!

If nobody gets it exactly right how are you going to decide a winner? Some kind of closeness algorithm?

Re: MEGA-CRITIC COMPETITION JANUARY : THE CLUES

If nobody gets it right, there won´t be a winner and the CD goes to next month´s jackpot. If two or more get it right, the lucky draw will decide.

Beach House - Teen Dream

Both Vampire Weekend and Spoon got some pretty awful reviews. Owen Pallet might have been a good choice, as Teen Dream might not have enough reviews yet. Nonetheless, Teen Dream is clearly album of the month.
