VOTING OPENED - info

[Wojtek]

I'm glad to announce that we have started Aural Moon Awards poll in 2005.

You can vote until 5th January inclusive.

To send your vote PM me with the list consisting of maximum 10 albums ordered. Choose them from the list below. Please don't send me just album names without standings with commentary "all equal for me", later it means big problem with counting.

Preliminary but probable date of the Aural Moon Awards 2005 Show is Saturday, 21st January 2006 at 22:00 CET (4 PM EST).

Thank you for participating, post comments/suggestions here if you have any and VOTE! I hope we'll have many more votes than one year ago.

Thank you, once again!

Ahh! Didn't know there was a new Guapo. Good to know. Scab Dates is just a live album, and not even a complete show. I've got a half-dozen high quality TMV boots of complete shows, so I'm saving my pennies on that one.
