Guess (Deadline = December 27th) the highest new entry into this month´s EOY-US-Mega-Critic Top 150 (Publication = January 2nd) as well as its exact position (as a tiebreaker) and enter the chance to win that CD.
At the moment (December 23rd) the following five acts seem to be the best bets :
Clue to Act 1 : First full-length album from a Montreal, Quebec based Indie-Rock trio with a female singer/guitarist, whose bassist left to play with ´Dears´.
Clue to Act 2 : Second CD from Hip Hop artist and MC, born as Curtis Cross in Detroit, Michigan.
Clue to Act 3 : The Mael Brothers (Los Angeles, California) 21st longplayer is a late bloomer in the US, after having conquered Europe and the UK earlier this year.
Clue to Act 4 : UK electronic multi instrumental artist, born as Ben Jacobs with his third album.
Clue to Act 5 : 22 minutes self-titled debut from an all-female lo-fi garage rock trio from Brooklyn, New York with candy-swell vocals and great bangs.
If nobody gets the right answer, the CD goes into the Jackpot of Competition No. 4, which will be online tomorrow.
I'll go with Kanye West at #33, because I'm intrigued to hear it but expect to strongly dislike it, and it's the only way I'll ever acquire it.
No Kanye, you're not the voice of a generation. The voice of a generation hears more than a short summation of a problem before writing a song about it. The voice of a generation doesn't hijack a charity fundraiser for his own egotistical politics. The voice of a generation isn't autotuned.
