Guess (Deadline = 25th) the highest new entry into this month´s Mega-Critic-Chart (Publication = 30th) and enter the chance to win that CD.
The following five acts for the moment seem to become the highest entries :
Clue to Act 1 : American Indie Rock band who´s singer has the same name as the actor of CSI-Las Vegas pathologist.
Clue to Act 2 : No, it´s not K.D.Lang, but a Swedish Metal-Band, named after a city in the African desert.
Clue to Act 3 : New Orleans Rapper with ´Fear´ and ´God´-Tattoos on his eyelids.
Clue to Act 4 : Singer/Violonist : An Ex-Lotus Eater and Ex-Girlfriend of Jeff Buckley.
Clue to Act 5 : Unconventional structures, ornate instrumentations and pure vocals from Seattle.
and No! : Even if the Surf Surf Surf-Boy, who drowned in 1983 gets excellent reviews, he cannot enter the Mega-Critic-Chart as his album is a Re-Issue.
and Yes! : Also beware of a July release dated album by Harry Potters (Daniel Redcliffs) favourite Brooklyn based band (might well be a last minute speed-entry.
Guesses noted so far :
Paranoid Android : Fleet Foxes ´Fleet Foxes´
AJackson : Wolf Parade ´At Mount Zoomer´
John : Bun B ´II Trill´
Harold Wrexler : My Morning Jacket ´Evil Urges´
BillAdama : The Notwist ´The Devil, You And Me´
Slush : My Morning Jacket ´Evil Urges´
Sketch : Opeth ´Watershed´
brennen : My Morning Jacket ´Evil Urges´
Well, I'm going to change my guess, but I've already bought the CD - it's going to be Act 5. I've only listened to it once, but what stands out even on a first listen is how remarkably, almost scarily self-assured it is, particularly for a debut.
Well, seeing that I'm almost positive it'll be Fleet Foxes and I'm too late on that one, I'll change mine to Joan Wasser- To Survive. I'd change it to the N.O. rapper but that album sucks and I don't want it!
Looks like Wolf Parade isn't one one of the clues so I guess I'll change my pick. Fleet Foxes appears to be a virtual lock to win this month but I'll go with Lil Wayne to be different. Plus I really enjoy that album, best rap album I've heard in some time.
