The Reading & Leeds Section 2013 Annual Music Awards

[mrtourette]

Top fives of the following categories for 2013:

• Albums
• Singles
• R&L performances (no need to specify site)
• Live performances (festivals and gigs, can include some from previous category, feel free to specify venue but probably will probably just take the act when counting up)
• Album covers
• Music videos

Obviously if you didn't go to R&L or any other festivals/gigs you'll have to skip those categories. Also if you don't really give a shit about artwork or videos feel free to skip them as well

Five points for every first place, four for every second, etc. in order to determine THE OVERALL WINNER!

Change as many times as you like until the end of the month (but please just edit previous list rather than posting again!)

Joint entries will be ignored, so if cutting it down to just five will literally kill you I guess you've got some tough decisions to make.

Might be of some use - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_albums_scheduled_for_release_in_2013

500 points for QOTSA

[kaosmark2]

I don't generally watch music videos, but I really like the ones I've linked to, the first because it's got some laughs in it and the second because it's a really cool interactive thing. IAM is the only other one I can remember anything about and that's because I listened to that song obsessively on youtube until the album came out.
