gummy awards

Welcome to the 3rd annual Gummy Awards. The fields are enabled with auto-fill (if you have JavaScript enabled) that will suggest likely candidates if you start typing. Of course you can still vote for anyone, but this makes our lives easier because people have terrible spelling. So please take that extra two seconds, and if your choice is suggested, click it. Thanks. Also keep your eyes on the finish line: Polls close 12/2 at 6 PM EST. After we board up the voting booth, we'll tally the results and randomly pick an entrant who, courtesy of Beck's, will receive the to 50 CDs and a one-year 3-DVD-at-a-time subscription to Netflix.

Why are there three choices for best album, TV show, and movie? Well, each choice earns a certain number of points, with your first choice earning the most and your third choice earning the least. When we tally them up, they'll be sorted by total points. If it's good enough for baseball's MVP and the RoboCup, it's good enough for your ears.

Note: You can't choose the same album more than once. In the event that you enter an artist/video/album that duplicates a suggestion from the form but uses a different name (ie, "Album Title by Artist" instead of the form-suggested "Artist - Album Title"), your vote will not be counted

If you're looking to jog your memory, here's what rocked our stereos this year.

And check out the details for our Gummy Awards Live concert with Deerhunter on 12/8 here.

Band To Watch: Threatmantics

Threatmantics are a scruffy Welsh rock trio that throw some wrinkles into the scruffy rock formula: Instead of a lead guitarist, they have a lead John Cale viola, and their drummer does double-time with a keyboard. The two guys mixing...

Quit Your Day Job: The Broken West

Premature Evaluation: The Killers - Day & Age

The Killers did good with Hot Fuss, their flashy debut of hooky Vegas new wave. Their look and glitzy synth tones were dialed directly into Indie '04, and after a few years of touring and fan base swelling, they talked...

Video Hangover: Marcy Playground - "Saint Joe On The Schoolbus"

Every week, we dig in the archives for videos that we find noteworthy, memorable, or just unbelievably stupid. And then, Jon McMillan breaks 'em down for you. This week: Marcy Playground blows their one chance at video immortality.

OldStand: Rolling Stone, September 13, 1984

Take our ink-stained hands and join us at the OldStand, where Jon McMillan goes to remind everyone what an honest-to-goodness music magazine is supposed to look like. Lots of Huey Lewis (and the News) news lately, so let's go back...

The Outsiders: Vol. 21: Harry Pussy

Not all of Stereogum's favorite sounds conform to what folks expect us to cover. In this space, resident Bananafish fetishist Brandon Stosuy focuses on bands, albums, singles, and villages in Sweden that may otherwise pass by unnoticed. This installment's virtual...
