Spoon and Pavement are both bands who have gotten votes in past years (as
has Stephen Malkmus). I think the heart of the Audities list is comprised
of pure pop fans, but there are plenty of folks who like the college
radio/indie pop arena -- so, in most polls, records from such bands garner a
fair amount of support, just not enough to make the final Top 20.
As long as I have the dance floor -- I thought GIRLS DON'T TELL was
brilliant -- finally Britt Daniel carried his ideas to a conclusion, with
added emotional impact. I thought KILL THE MOONLIGHT was a big step
backward, with most songs half-finished and unsatisfying. Of course, it
appears that I'm in the minority in that view.
