The Microphones The Glow, Pt. 2

receiving 15% of the votes. Fennesz's Endless Summer and Boredoms Vision Creation Newsun came in close behind with about 10% each. This year's results are a bit more diverse than last year's where two high profile releases got about half of the votes; draw your own conclusions about what that means about the year in music that was 2001. Full results, as well as personal top ten lists from thirteen of our writers (who, by the way, voted Stars of the Lid The Tired Sounds of ... as best for 2001), are available here.

Aside from the recap of THE LIST voting, there is a ton of other great material this issue. For starters, fakejazz writer Cory Rayborn sat down with Scott "Spiral Stairs" Kannberg to discuss his new solo work under the name Preston School of Indsutry. Also, writer John Fail made it to Irving Plaza for one of the Mission of Burma reunion shows and has prepared this report. Aside from that, there are almost 40 reviews.
